Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, arm Strong.

00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 3: The pardon sweeping covering offenses that Hunter Biden quote has

5
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 3: committed or may have committed or taken part in over

6
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: the past eleven years.

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 4: Eleven years is a very specific and not rounded amount

8
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 4: of time, So Haunter.

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: I'll give you a pardon a.

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 4: Few years, five years, ten years.

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: It needs to be eleven.

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 4: And if you would be so kind, make sure this

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: upcoming New Year's Eve is also covered. Going to get Christy,

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 4: I didn't know pardoners could after crimes you may have

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 4: committed us. I'm surprised Biden didn't include the phrase on

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 4: Earth one or any.

17
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: Of the Earth in the multiverse.

18
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 5: John Stewart had a lot of fun with the Hunter

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 5: Biden pardon last night, pointing out that yes, eleven years

20
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 5: is very specific. Why not twelve? Why not ten? There

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 5: must be some reason you chose eleven and all the

22
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 5: speculation that goes with that, and then just the damage

23
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 5: it did to all those candidates that were out there

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 5: for the entire election year saying, look at the difference

25
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 5: between Republicans and Democrats. We let the Justice Apartment do

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 5: its job and then live with the results. The Republican

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 5: Party fights blah blah blah blah blah, right, and Trump

28
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 5: claims it's all of politics. And then and then Joe

29
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 5: Biden specifically puts out a statement saying the Justice Department

30
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 5: is infected with politics and okay.

31
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Which happens to be in the case of Hunter Biden,

32
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: the opposite of the truth in which he was cut

33
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: to probably felonious sweetheart deals by a fixed Justice department,

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: but he found the gumption to claim otherwise. This is

35
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: outrageous in half a dozen different ways. The idea that

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: a dad let his son off the hook for crimes,

37
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody gets that, and it may be wrong,

38
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: and you might condemn it, but that's not where the

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: focus needs to be. The focus, in my opinion, needs

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: to be on the utterly insane eleven year period where

41
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: anything you did during that period you'll never be prosecuted for.

42
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: It's not like he got convicted and sentenced to five years.

43
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm commuting his sentence because he's my boy. No, this

44
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: is a sort of blanket license for lawlessness backward.

45
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Dispatch had a good piece on that.

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 5: Today, some legal observers have pointed out that Joe Biden

47
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 5: could have structured the part in a way that didn't

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 5: undermine the credibility of the Justice Department but preempted targeting

49
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: by the Trump administration, because Biden is claiming that, well,

50
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 5: when Trump gets into office, he's gonna spend all his

51
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 5: time trying to get Hunter Biden. Biden could have simply

52
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 5: issued a pardon on any uncharged crimes, but let the

53
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 5: tax and gun convictions stand, for instance, so that Trump

54
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 5: couldn't have tried to find other stuff but said, you know,

55
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 5: my son did these things and so he's going to

56
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 5: pay the price. Or he could have commuted the future

57
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 5: sentencing decisions in the two cases he was convicted in,

58
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 5: just commuted those and left it alone from that. Instead,

59
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 5: the President opted for a broad pardon and justified it

60
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: by claiming political bias by federal prosecutors. Well that's David Weiss,

61
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 5: who if you've been following this whole saga, remember him,

62
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 5: he's the Special Council. Well, he isn't taking this allegation

63
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: sitting down, writes the dispatch because Joe Biden basically called

64
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 5: him out and said he's corrupt over the weekend, So

65
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 5: weis his office filed a motion on Sunday in the

66
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 5: tax case requesting that the judge closed the docket on

67
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: the case and instead of simply dismissing it, which would

68
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: preserve the record of the indictment, just so it continues

69
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 5: to be there as opposed to going away. Prosecutors included

70
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 5: a thinly veiled rebuttal to Biden's claims there was none

71
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 5: and never has been any evidence of vindictive or selective

72
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 5: prosecution in the case. Weiss goes on to say, in total,

73
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 5: eleven different federal judges appointed by six different presidents, including

74
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 5: Hunter's father, considered and rejected the defendant's claims, including his

75
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 5: claims for selective and vindictive prosecution. Wow, that's the Justice

76
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 5: Apartment saying, oh no, don't go claim and work corrupt

77
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 5: ufing liar. Yeah, yeah, six all those judges appointed by

78
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 5: six different presidents, on the specific complaint of we're politicizing this,

79
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 5: have all rejected that after looking at it. But you,

80
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 5: Joe Biden, have found something somewhere that none of those

81
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 5: judges saw.

82
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous and maybe the senile Potus hooked all this up.

83
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 1: I smell the unholy lavender perfume of fake doctor Jill

84
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: in all of this, right, yes, we.

85
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: Can in that.

86
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: If Biden had merely said, look, he's my son and

87
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: I love him. He screwed up while he's on drugs.

88
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: He's paid back his taxes. I'm commuting his sentences, people

89
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: would be angry and saying this is you can't be

90
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: angry at Clinton for the Mark Rich thing. You can't

91
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: be angry at Trump for Gerald Kushner's dad. You can't

92
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 1: be mad at any of these presidents and then put.

93
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: Up with this. We don't like this.

94
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: You better be careful, presidents, or there's gonna be a

95
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: price to pay. Okay, that would have been fine, but

96
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: it went so far beyond that. Not only the blanket

97
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: pardon for all sins that maybe were committed that we

98
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: don't know about, which is I mean, that's like beyond

99
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: what Ford gave Nixon fifty years ago. It's crazy, but

100
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: the indictment of his own Justice Department, in the defiance

101
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: of those eleven feral judges of all facts of the

102
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Sweetheart deal. Weis's cooked up that got tossed out by

103
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: that good judge you in DC.

104
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: Why would you do all that? It's it's horrible.

105
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: This has gotten and it will continue to get quadruple

106
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: the scrutiny of just commuting the sentences for the tax

107
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: and gun crimes. The answer why you would do some

108
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: of it is because you run a money laundering outfit

109
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: and have for decades.

110
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 5: Ben go that's got a bit of an Okham's razor

111
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 5: to it. Or if that, you know, whatever's the most

112
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 5: likely is usually the right answer. Here's an interesting angle

113
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 5: from Senator Joe Manchin, Democrat.

114
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 6: As a father, I don't know if a father that

115
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 6: would have done the same thing, well, I would have

116
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 6: done differently. My recommendation, as the counsel would have been,

117
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 6: why don't you go ahead and pardon Donald Trump for

118
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 6: all his charges and make it you know, it had

119
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 6: been gone down a lot more balanced, if you will,

120
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, wipe.

121
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: Them out for his legacy.

122
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 6: I don't know from that standpoint, does it makes it difficult?

123
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: Decent point from Joe Manchin.

124
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 5: If you're believing that things got too political in our

125
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 5: justice system during a hot presidential election, yeah, pardon hunter

126
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 5: pardon Trump. Let's all just move forward and claim we're

127
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 5: going to do better in the future, though we won't.

128
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't want to get off on this tangent,

129
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: but it is what he did, and the way he

130
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: did it.

131
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 5: Was unnecessarily politically just terrible. David Actionlrod Smart David Actelrod

132
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 5: on CNN this morning said it was handled very poorly.

133
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 5: There's all kinds of different options. You could do the

134
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 5: thing you were talking about about, partning Hunter as a

135
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 5: dad and everything like that, but I realize not everybody

136
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 5: has these connections, and that's why I'm launching the come

137
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 5: up with an acronym that is all about helping drug

138
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 5: addicts get back on their feet, some program that's never

139
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 5: going to do anything.

140
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: But you say that sort of you know, yeah, yeah,

141
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: you'd promote legislation.

142
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: It wouldn't even get a but it doesn't matter for

143
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: how troops in the field and drug addicts and whomever

144
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: else gets to second Chance or tax counseling or something.

145
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: But they didn't even try, which is just either a

146
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: sign of he doesn't give a crap, or well, it's

147
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: probably that hey, let's do this for me, do this

148
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: for me. On January twentieth. It's the twentieth right, Yep,

149
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Trump gets inaugurated. We are going to lose the pleasure,

150
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: the joy of listening to one Carine Jean Pierre vomit

151
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: up some of the most ridiculous word salads I've heard

152
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: in my history of watching this stuff. I mean, she

153
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: is a being asked to defend the indefensible, which is

154
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: frequently the job of the Press secretary, but b she's

155
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: uniquely terrible at it. And she was confronted with the absolute,

156
00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: undeniable dishonesty and hypocrisy of the whole hundred pardon thing

157
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: by reporters who are fairly aggressive and thirty five Michael is.

158
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: Just this is.

159
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: Like her on core song on her farewell tour. This

160
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: will be remembered.

161
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: You have said repeatedly yourself since the election. The President

162
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: has said for months no pardon was coming.

163
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 5: I just I wanted to ask you, could those statements

164
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: now be seen as lives.

165
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: From the American people? Is there really credibility?

166
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 7: Is you hear?

167
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: Given now this announcement.

168
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 8: First of all, one of the things that the president

169
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 8: always believes is to be truthful to the American people.

170
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 8: That is something that he always truly believes. And if

171
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 8: you see the end of his I assume that you've

172
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 8: read his statement and you look at the end of

173
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 8: that statement, and he actually says that in the first line,

174
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 8: in the last paragraph and respects the thinking and how

175
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 8: the American people will actually see this in his decision making.

176
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 8: And I would encourage everyone to read it full of

177
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 8: the President's statement. I think he lays out his thought process,

178
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 8: He lays out how he came to this decision. He

179
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 8: came to this decision this weekend. So let's be very

180
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 8: clear about that. He says it himself, it's in his voice.

181
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 8: He said he came to this decision this weekend, and

182
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 8: he said he wrestled with us and because he believes

183
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 8: in the justice Simpson, but he also believes that the

184
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 8: war politics infected the process and led to a miscarriage

185
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 8: of justice.

186
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's my favorite part is how those last two

187
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 5: sentences don't go together. I believe in the justice system,

188
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 5: but I believe it was infected with politics, So.

189
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: I don't believe in the justice system. Let's hear the

190
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: follow up, Michael.

191
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 9: Does the president believe now and agree with President elect

192
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 9: Trump that the justice system has been weaponized for political

193
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 9: purposes and that it needs brute and brands reform.

194
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: No, read the president's statement seriously. Read the president's statement.

195
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: He said he believes in the Department of Justice. He does.

196
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 8: He also believes that rural politics infected the process and

197
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 8: it led to a miscarriage of justice.

198
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: He believes his son was unfairly targeted.

199
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 8: He said that what his political opponents have done to

200
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 8: my son, that's his words, is cruel and enough is enough.

201
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 5: I believe in marriage and the sanctity of marriage. I

202
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 5: would never cheat on my wife. You're kissing her right now.

203
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 5: I would never cheat on my wife.

204
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: Why are you up your hand while you're saying this?

205
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: Wow, she is either incompetent or shameless or just being

206
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: put in an impossible position.

207
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 5: That actually made my brain hurt. The dissonance that made

208
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: my brain hurt is that is yeah. Does she know

209
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 5: I just said two sentences that are one hundred and

210
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 5: eighty degrees opposite each other.

211
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: Yes, I just I just contradicted myself, like back to

212
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: back words. So I understand the power that the Press

213
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: secretary has and how if you have an ongoing relationship

214
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: with them, you've got to be at least a little

215
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: diplomatic as a reporter. But why don't Moore say you

216
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: didn't come within a mile of answering my question, or

217
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: you just said two things that are directly contradictory in

218
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: the same paragraph.

219
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: Sort them out for me, please.

220
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 5: He believes in the justic justice system, he doesn't believe

221
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 5: in the justice system.

222
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 2: Those are between.

223
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: If the justice system has been politicized, no, absolutely not,

224
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: but politics perverted the justice system. Wow, all right, you're

225
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: wasting my time in your sweetheart. I can't wait till

226
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: you're gone. Now shut up. I'm psick with you. I

227
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: don't care if I get access. Your mummified presidency is over.

228
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: You even lying in my face for two years. Now goodbye.

229
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: To get out. Somebody get her a parachute. We're going

230
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: to toss her out of here.

231
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 5: dB Cooper's style, which reminds me they may have figured

232
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 5: out who dB Cooper was. Did you follow that story

233
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 5: while we were on break?

234
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: Very exciting. I saw a headline. Yeah, that's a good one.

235
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 5: They might actually have figured it out. I mean, seriously,

236
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 5: I'm just not sure I care anymore. Oh, and some

237
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 5: other stuff that we have to get to stay here,

238
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 5: So there's craziness going on in South Korea right now.

239
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 5: Like I'm looking with the TV, south Korean troops descend

240
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 5: on Parliament as opposition politicians. So the president declared martial law,

241
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 5: et cetera, et cetera. This has all been happening in

242
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 5: the last couple of hours. Let's get a quick report

243
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 5: from CNN and then a little more for you.

244
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 10: This is essentially the first martial law in something like

245
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 10: forty years in South Korea. They have enjoyed a peaceful

246
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 10: transfer of power despite increasingly divided politics that have been

247
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 10: plaguing Soul. The president un his approval rating has been

248
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 10: absolutely abysmal. As the reason for this martial law, his

249
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 10: opponents believe that what he's really trying to do is

250
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 10: to try to push through his agenda, including getting a

251
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 10: budget passed. He feels is impossible with his opposition in

252
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 10: control in parliament right now. So by enacting martial law,

253
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 10: essentially banning political activity, taking control of the media, banning

254
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 10: people from gathering in protests, I mean, all of these

255
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 10: things are now essentially illegal under martial law.

256
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 5: So in one report, so this sounds like the president's

257
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 5: going out of his mind, doesn't it?

258
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: So this is this report.

259
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 5: I see our friend Mike Leins is up on CNN

260
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 5: talking about it, and some of the video it looks

261
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 5: crazy around the parliament building. I mean, South Korea is

262
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 5: a real country. It's not like some you know, Central

263
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 5: South America nut job country. South Korea is a real country,

264
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: and they got nutty stuff happening in there right now.

265
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 5: But here's one report. We're route to the National Assembly

266
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 5: now we've confirmed members of law enforcement at the behest

267
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 5: of the president are blocking politicians from getting back into

268
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 5: the National Assembly. Lawmakers want to get back there and

269
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: undo the declaration of martial law. So the lawmakers are

270
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 5: trying to get back into Parliament to vote and saying no.

271
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 5: Apparently they've got enough division of power the same way

272
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 5: we do that they could say no, you don't get

273
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 5: to have a martial law, but the president has got

274
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 5: the cops keeping them from getting back in, so they

275
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 5: can't do it.

276
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: Wow.

277
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: Wow, this is the first declaration of martial law since

278
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: they ended their military dictatorship in the late eighties. But

279
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: this is the sort of stuff that like Trump derangement syndrome,

280
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: people think Trump will do right. I mean, where you

281
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: would have the military or the cops, stopping Congress from

282
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: being able to do something that would not happen in

283
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: our country. Right, But I mean, it's got a very

284
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: January sixth look to it. I'm watching it on television

285
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: right now. Pretty violent push and shoven trying to get

286
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: the doors open, trying to get the doors closed, depending

287
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: on whether you're the I don't know if those are

288
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: cops or military, all of them, but people are pouring in.

289
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're all politicians or just human beings.

290
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: But that's quite a mess. So the head.

291
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: Of the president's own party set in a Facebook post

292
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: that the president's martial law declaration is wrong and he

293
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: would work with the citizens to stop it.

294
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 5: Hey, we got another great clip about this. Maybe we'll

295
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 5: get to when we come back from the commercials. This

296
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 5: is kind of exciting to watch a fully mature economy,

297
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 5: Western civilization sort of place.

298
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: Boulevart and one of our allies and one of our allies,

299
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: right fun.

300
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 5: You say, old fathead in North Korea has got to

301
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 5: be watching this and thinking.

302
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: Or thinking you're doing it all wrong.

303
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: No, no, no, shoot everybody and the rest exactly.

304
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: You shoot a couple editors, you have fire amount of cannons.

305
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: What are you doing here? Feed them to dog? Who pops?

306
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 2: And feed them to dogs?

307
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Oh we've got more on the way.

308
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Geddy.

309
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 3: There are police officers on the phone who are wondering

310
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 3: what is going on, who are calling their captains. You

311
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 3: can overhear them in Korean saying what are we doing?

312
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 3: What is happening right now? There are people who are

313
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 3: leaving bars, who are leaving restaurants, calling their moms, calling

314
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 3: their dads, calling their children, saying I'm coming home right now.

315
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: This has not happened within the twenty first century. A

316
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: declaration of martial law something that remains in memories of

317
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 3: people from the nineteen eighties when South Korea was still

318
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 3: under a military dictatorship.

319
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 7: Yeah.

320
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 5: Well South Korea has gone nuts again, at least for today.

321
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 5: So the president of South Korea declared martial law. It

322
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 5: looks like to keep his version of Congress Parliament from

323
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 5: counterbalancing any some of the things that he wants to do.

324
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 5: So he declared martial law so they couldn't get back

325
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 5: in and vote on various things. Well, one thing they

326
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 5: want to do, they wanted to do is get back

327
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 5: in and vote no, we're not going to have martial law, because,

328
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 5: as you just heard from those reports there, everybody you

329
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 5: know in Seoul is like, what the hell's going on?

330
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 5: I mean, this is really weird. I mean I can't

331
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 5: leave the school, I can't leave my place at work.

332
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 5: The police don't know what they're supposed to be doing. Well,

333
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 5: enough of the parliament got back in to the building

334
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 5: and we were watching it on TV live. I mean

335
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 5: it had a January sixth look to it. I mean

336
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 5: they were fighting through cops who were probably conflicted as

337
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 5: to whether or not they should have been following the

338
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 5: president's orders or not trying to get back into the building.

339
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 5: But enough of them got back into the building, and

340
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 5: the South Korean National Assembly has decisively rejected the martial

341
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 5: law declaration, with one hundred and ninety of the three

342
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 5: hundred lawmakers voting in favor of the motion to block

343
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 5: it by law. President Youwn must comply, and it's most

344
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 5: likely believed that an impeachment procedure will begin immediately.

345
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: Wow wow, Well, this is a real test of the

346
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: institutions of that particular democracy. Obviously, the next twenty four

347
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: hours ago is going to or so rather is going

348
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: to be really telling do they convene the impeachment vote

349
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: to the police and military, you know, accept the wishes

350
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: of the legislatu.

351
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's classic, has been this way through all through history.

352
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 5: Are the cops in the military going to follow the

353
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 5: president or not? Or the law or the law, And

354
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 5: that's way it always goes. And you know, going back

355
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 5: to Christmas Day ninety one, is that when it was

356
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 5: when Yelton was staying out on the tank, the military said, nah,

357
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 5: we ain't going to do it.

358
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: We ain't firing in all these people. We ain't doing it.

359
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 5: And then it's over that direction, or sometimes it goes

360
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 5: the other way see Tieneman Square nineteen eighty nine. The

361
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 5: military does fire on all the people and the little

362
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 5: rebellions over.

363
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: Tell you what to pull back the camera a little

364
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: bit and get a broader view, folks. One of our

365
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: most important allies modern democracy is having a near coup

366
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: and never has any babies anymore and is demographically disappearing.

367
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: China's on the war path has similar demographic problems. Even

368
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: their allies now are starting to get pissed off about Jack.

369
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: This will gratify you, cheap Chinese crap getting dumped into

370
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: their markets and putting their manufacturers out of business.

371
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: Man, there is instability in the air.

372
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 5: And something I was reading I'm not smart enough to

373
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 5: completely understand, but we just the Biden administration just announced

374
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 5: some new sanctions that's going to really make it difficult

375
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 5: for China to get the best computer chips or make

376
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 5: the best computer chips. And then so they blasted back

377
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 5: with some terraf for ban or something on dual use

378
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 5: things that could be used for military purposes that you

379
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 5: can if you want to claim anything. So there's that

380
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 5: level of economic warfare going on, which is just the

381
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 5: burbling under the surface of the real warfare that is

382
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 5: practically inevitable. Inevitable between the United States and China. But

383
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 5: Trump is going to over the next four years as

384
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 5: he heads into his eighties. He's obviously inheriting the whole

385
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 5: Israel hamas hezbela really Israel Iran thing, and then the

386
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 5: Russia Ukraine thing, and then China. Is not all that

387
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 5: stuff is going to play out during his first term.

388
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: It ain't gonna be easy.

389
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: No, Although it's remarkable the extent to which already the

390
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: winds have shifted in the Middle East, as Trump has

391
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: made his support for Israel and against Iran, which is

392
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: unmistakably clear.

393
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: On that front.

394
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 5: I just came across this tweet from Mark Penn, who,

395
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 5: if you're not super into politics, and you shouldn't be,

396
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 5: you don't know this name. He was an advisor to

397
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 5: the Clintons back in the day and would go on

398
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 5: all the Sunday shows, hardcore democrat. But he tweeted out

399
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 5: Joe mentioned this earlier. Trump basically said, Hey, give back

400
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 5: the hostages or we're going to hit you so hard,

401
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 5: like hit or you harder than you've ever been hit before.

402
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 2: That sort of thing.

403
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 5: Mark Penn, the Democrat, the Clinton Knight, said Wow, finally

404
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 5: a president who, in response to Hamas propaganda, threatens Hamas

405
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 5: instead of Israel, that they better release the hostages or

406
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 5: face the consequences. The world has been stuck for over

407
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 5: a year waiting for this simple, forceful, moral clarity. This

408
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 5: is why Iran returned its hostages when Reagan took office

409
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 5: after thumbing its nose at Carter, and why Isis lost

410
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 5: its caliphate under Trump while surging in power and territory

411
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 5: under Obama.

412
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: Right, I've got to admit and I'm not proud of this.

413
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: I guess it's very hard to resist as a human being.

414
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: But you get used to a certain modus operandi and

415
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: it stops.

416
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 2: You lose your sense.

417
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: Of how dumb and bad it is, just because it's

418
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: always there. The Joe Biden foreign policy and we have said,

419
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: why is he not threatening to escalate against Hamas instead

420
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: of continually saying.

421
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 2: Well, we don't want to escalate.

422
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: Where the hell was give us our hostages back, or

423
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: we're gonna liquidate you.

424
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 2: Where was that?

425
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: When Trump says it, you realize, oh, that's right, that's

426
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: worth the greatest superpower on earth. Why are we tiptoeing

427
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: around afraid of hurting people's feelings? Oh, it's disgusting.

428
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: So I'm almost finished with that Bob Woodward book that

429
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 5: nobody read, but one of the more interesting things that

430
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 5: came out of it, and I've found it highly enjoyable

431
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 5: because I love this stuff. The TikTok reporting on how

432
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 5: everything played out with the Hamas October seventh, the response

433
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 5: same with Ukraine and everything just great. The Bob Woodward books,

434
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 5: he calls him the first draft of history, and then

435
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 5: later people will use his reporting to add to it

436
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 5: the history books about these major events. But just weeks

437
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 5: before Hamas invaded Israel, MBS in Saudi Arabia was ready

438
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 5: to do a deal with Israel fully normalizing relations, which

439
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 5: would have included the United States will protect Saudi Arabia

440
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 5: if they're ever attacked, or Israel if they're ever attacked,

441
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 5: and vice in both of those countries. So Israel would

442
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 5: have come to Saudi Arabia's defense and Saudi Arabia to

443
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 5: come to Israel's defense if Iran ever attacked. And they

444
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 5: were ready to do that deal when Hamas invaded, and

445
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 5: then MBS still wanted to do it, still wants to

446
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 5: do it this day because he thinks it's the best.

447
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 5: He's worried about Iran. He thinks the best thing for

448
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 5: his country is to be normalized with Israel and be

449
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 5: under the umbrella of the United States protection. Who wouldn't

450
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 5: want that? But his street won't allow that. He said,

451
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 5: he said, half the people in this country are younger

452
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 5: than me, and I'm thirty four, whatever he is, and

453
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 5: he said, they are just horrified at the Palestinian deaths.

454
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: And all that sort of stuff. I can't normalize. Now,

455
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: where is.

456
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: The utterly dishonest and mostly incompetent mainstream media in reporting

457
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: that very easy to understand sequence of events. Israel was

458
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: about to do a giant deal mutual self defense with

459
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. Iran couldn't have that, and so they sent

460
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: their attack dog Hamas to blow up our deal. Expression

461
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: f up the Middle East.

462
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

463
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so obvious that narrative ought to be

464
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: known by every American. It ought to be as familiar

465
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: as you know, any other much discussed historical development. But

466
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: now it's been clouded in the god the woke college student,

467
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: genocide settler, colonial Oh, for the love of Heaven, cut

468
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: the crap. Oh, you pick up your cut the crap, armstring,

469
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: getdy t shirt at armstring. Giddy dot com flying off

00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: the shelves. Seriously, can we cut the crap? Here?

471
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 5: You can usually tell who talked to Woodwork in his books.

472
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 5: It's pretty easy because the quotes are clearer and they

473
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 5: tend to get seen in a better light. But it

474
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 5: seems pretty clear that the Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln

475
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 5: was talking to Woodward and his description at the very

476
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 5: beginning of this thing of his dealings with ELCSI, the

477
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 5: guy who runs Egypt, and how they absolutely no way

478
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 5: Palestinians are coming into this country. One thing I'm telling you,

479
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 5: we are not allowing Palestinians into this country.

480
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 2: That would be a disaster. They'll try to overthrow our government.

481
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 5: Blah blah blah and so yeah again, where are the

482
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 5: college students not being aware of these dynamics those Arab countries?

483
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 5: He hate the Palestinians more than the United States does

484
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 5: or BB does.

485
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, go talk to the Lebanese, Go talk to the

486
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: Kuwaitis and ask them, Hey, what happens if you let

487
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of Palestinians into your country. They'll tell you

488
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: more on that in a moment. After a quick word

489
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: from our friends that simply say home security. We're talking

490
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: about the lack of law enforcement and the crime in

491
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: the air, and the porch pirates and the rest of it. Well,

492
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: simply Safe is the best defense against all of that stuff.

493
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: And they've extended their massive black Flat Friday deal for

494
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: our listeners. You get fifty percent off a new simply

495
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: Safe security system, the most trusted system going.

496
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you want to take advantage of this deal.

497
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 5: You want to simply safe protection. You're out running around

498
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: over Christmas or maybe even gone for a week or whatever,

499
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 5: knowing you've got the simply Safe system set up. I

500
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 5: set it up myself in like a half an hour

501
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 5: when I moved to a bigger place. I just ordered

502
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 5: a few more sensors, few more door cameras and stuff

503
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 5: like that.

504
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: It's easy and the simply Safe outdoor guard I'm sory

505
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: active guard to outdoor protection is incredible. It prevents crime

506
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: before it happens. Someone's lurking around or acting suspiciously, the

507
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: agents see them in real time, talk to them directly,

508
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: set off your spotlights, call the cops.

509
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: Before the break in, and all of that.

510
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: No long term contracts, no cancelation fees, and it's around

511
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: a bucketday for all this protection.

512
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 2: It's amazing. Simply Safe as extending.

513
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: That massive Black Friday deal once again, fifty percent off

514
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: any new system with select professional monitoring plan. It's your

515
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: last chance to claim the best offer of the year.

516
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: Had to simply Safe dot com slash armstrong. That's simply

517
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: safe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe like simply Safe.

518
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 5: You know, I don't want to rehash the election at all.

519
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 5: But we did miss the Kamala Harris video that got

520
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 5: put out by the DNC while we were on vacation

521
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 5: that got roundly criticized, or just a big giant what why.

522
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: Did they put that out?

523
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 5: She sounded like a crazy She sounded like a drunk,

524
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 5: crazy person.

525
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: Did you see that. I don't think I had.

526
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 5: To her to her luck. I think it got obscured

527
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 5: by Thanksgiving. It was like two days before Thanksgiving. She

528
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 5: was on a zoom call to supporters. It was like

529
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 5: one of the final you know, thanks for all your

530
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 5: help things, and the DNC, for whatever reason, grabbed thirty

531
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 5: seconds of it and put it out on their official platform,

532
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 5: and it went everywhere. She looks crazy, she sounds drunk,

533
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 5: and it's just like, whose idea was this? The only

534
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 5: thing people can think is that like it was an

535
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 5: attempt to undermine her, like kind of throwing her under

536
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 5: the bus without her knowing it, like this is our candidate,

537
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 5: this is why we lost.

538
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: Don't blame us.

539
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: So now the DNC is like libs of tiktoking right exactly, because.

540
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 5: Nobody can figure out, why would you put that out?

541
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 5: Why would you grab some of that private conversation and

542
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 5: put that out for.

543
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: Her and to see, yeah, you nailed it. That's it.

544
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: They want her the hell out of the way. She's

545
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: a loser and a half wit. They don't want any

546
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: sniff of her saying I didn't have a long enough

547
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: time to get Joe held on too long, I couldn't

548
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: get my campaign up, and no want to.

549
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: They want to nip that in the bud. Right right, right,

550
00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: right right.

551
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 5: Maybe we should grab that audio so you can hear it,

552
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: because you probably all missed it too. It happened very

553
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 5: much like you when we come back, stay here. A

554
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 5: couple of things that I think are interesting enough to

555
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 5: mention about the election and the results. The podcast America

556
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 5: people that were, you know, the crowd that got Obama elected.

557
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 5: They'd included David Ploof, who was running Kamala Harrison's campaign.

558
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 5: He said last week, and I thought this was damned interesting.

559
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 5: He said, we never had internal polling showing us ahead.

560
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 5: We would see these national polls in various states and think,

561
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 5: I don't know where they're getting that. So that's why

562
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 5: Mark Haupron was regularly and I was passing it along

563
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,239
Speaker 5: and his newsletter saying internal polling shows Trump's gonna win

564
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 5: this thing.

565
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: It just he said that.

566
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 5: Just he said, I can't share that stuff. But they're internal,

567
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 5: and so they confirmed that last week. We were never

568
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 5: ahead in our polls ever. Wow, So they at no

569
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 5: point had any reason to think they were gonna win.

570
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 5: Then there was a different get together of some sort

571
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 5: with people that worked on the campaign that was so

572
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 5: full of crap it was unbelievable, with one of the

573
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 5: women running her campaign saying we just couldn't break out

574
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 5: of this narrative, this ridiculous narrative that she wouldn't do interviews.

575
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 5: We were doing interviews constantly, but somehow the narrative took

576
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 5: hold that she wouldn't answer questions like what.

577
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: Are you talking about?

578
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 5: She went like thirty days without talking to anybody, then

579
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 5: did a softball interview. She failed. I mean, what do

580
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 5: you figure that's dishonesty or you know, delusion. I don't know,

581
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 5: it's hard to say. I find that sort of thing fascinating.

582
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: Do we all?

583
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 5: Maybe we all do this, We fail at a job,

584
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 5: you know, a marriage or career, whatever, and we come

585
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 5: up with a story in her own head so that

586
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 5: we're not to blame. I don't know, but I found

587
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 5: that fascinating. She seemed like she actually believed that. And

588
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 5: then there's this. So I'm actually going to read you

589
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 5: what Joonah Goldberg wrote about it last week before we

590
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 5: play it for you. So, Kamala Harris does some sort

591
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 5: of thing with big donors and everybody, and people were

592
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 5: worked on the campaign and it was like a private

593
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 5: ish thing, although nothing stays private anymore where she was

594
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 5: talking to those.

595
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: People, probably trying to siphon some money out of some

596
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: final money to retire their debts. But anyway, and the

597
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: Democratic Party puts out a thirty second snippet of it

598
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: for some reason, and Joanah Goldberg tweets it out and

599
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: I saw it lots of places.

600
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: He said, this is un good.

601
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 5: It feels like a QVC segment where it ends with

602
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 5: her finishing her margarita and saying, and that's why our

603
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 5: healing crystals are fifty percent off.

604
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: For the first one hundred dollars.

605
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 5: Here's Kamala Harrison, something put out by the Democratic Party.

606
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 7: I know this is an uncertain time. I'm clear eyed

607
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 7: about that. I know you're clear eyed about it. And

608
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 7: it feels heavy and I just have to remind you

609
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 7: don't you ever let anybody take your power from you.

610
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 7: You have the same power that you did before November fifth,

611
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 7: and you have the same purpose that you did, and

612
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 7: you have the same ability to engage and.

613
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: Inspire, and you have the same lack of ability to

614
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: say something that's.

615
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 5: Not vapid it was. Maybe it struck you all the

616
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 5: same way it did me. It's like, oh yeah, because

617
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 5: it'd been several weeks since we'd heard from her, It's like,

618
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 5: oh yeah, that's Kamala Harris. She can't freaking say anything.

619
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 5: And the question, of course, is why did the DNC

620
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 5: put that out Remember, don't forget you still have the

621
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 5: same power.

622
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?

623
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: What was the point of that greeting card? Rhetorics strung

624
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: together poorly? I mean, I get that it's vaguely uplifting.

625
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,760

00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: sort of person who would respond to that sort of rhetoric,

633
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: even if it was skillfully right.

00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 5: of their internal polls.

Speaker 1: blanket immunity. You shouldn't even call it a pardon, but

641
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: the blanket immunity Joe Biden gave his son and really
