1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty and He 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Yetty. Mortgages, car loans, credit cards. 5 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 3: Americans are borrowing more than ever US household debt now 6 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 3: at seventeen point ninety four trillion dollars for credit cards. 7 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 3: That debt has never cost more. The average interest rate 8 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 3: almost twenty two percent, way higher than auto loans and 9 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 3: mortgage rates. 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was about to jump in with what 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 4: the amounts with inflation, that just kind of makes sense 12 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 4: because everything is, you know, relative to whatever things used 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 4: to cost. But the interest rates don't change. The way 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 4: math works doesn't change, and those higher interest rates in 15 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 4: there or ever are brutal for the highest load anybody's 16 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 4: ever carried. Yeah, and you're absolutely right about you know, inflation, 17 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 4: that sort of thing. But man, seventeen point ninety four 18 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 4: trillion dollars on a card if you're in post revolution Bolivia, 19 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 4: that sounds like a lot. And you got somewhere between 20 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 4: twenty and thirty percent interest on your credit card based 21 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 4: on your credit situation. 22 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's rough. 23 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 4: The biggest political story in America by far obviously, is 24 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 4: Trump nominating Matt Gates and some other conversial people to 25 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 4: important positions. We talked about that a lot in Hour one. 26 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 4: We'll get back to that again later. I mean, it's 27 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 4: dominating all news coverage except for Fox, where they're treating 28 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 4: it as like a third tier story. For instance, this 29 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 4: is a third tier story. Did you see there's a 30 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 4: new pigmy baby hippo that is the world's favorite new animal, 31 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 4: the new baby pigmy a because we had one a 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago, right, and everybody loved it, And 33 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 4: there's a new one out today and I just saw 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 4: it hopping around in the grass.

But if you want to work the cute, 55 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: fat faced animal beat, that's somebody needs to. 56 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: The new one is a Scottish apparently. Its name is 57 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: Haggis Ah, Haggage, laggage. Who's a good Who's I wish 58 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 2: you could see my face?

Please. 61 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: Michael Brilliant played bagpipe music because it waddles out into 62 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: its enclosure for the people. 63 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 2: AH plays the little bagpipe exactly. This is so stupid, 64 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: please can we move on? 65 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 4: So? 66 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: Uh Chris Ruffo, you'll know him, you love him with 67 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: a great piece. Why Boeing killed Dei? And and the 68 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: lead is the important part of reckoning is underway in 69 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: corporate America. You remember, after the death of George Floyd 70 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, like every Fortune, five hundred company launched 71 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: a diversity, equity and inclusion program with very serious faces 72 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 1: as they were running terrified from the Marxists who claimed 73 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: racial justice was their motivation. But now four short years later, 74 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,279 Speaker 1: many companies are quietly acknowledging the failure of these initiatives, 75 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: in some cases is winding them down. And Rufo has 76 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: been writing about DEI at Boeing for a while. He's 77 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: got an inside source, well placed, high up, that described 78 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: it this way quote, I thought this is really good. 79 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: DEI is the drop you put in the bucket and 80 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: the whole bucket changes. It is anti excellence and because 81 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: it is ill defined, it becomes part of the culture. 82 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 4: That is some of the most evocative phrasing I've ever heard. Yeah, 83 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 4: the drop you put in the bucket and it changes 84 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 4: the whole bucket. That's interesting, folks, You've become. 85 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: Aware that the whole woke thing DEI anti racism thing. 86 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: You can't win. It's a constantly moving target. If you 87 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: say you're not a racist, you're a racist. And if 88 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: you say you're a racist, you're racist. But either way 89 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: you shut up. We're in charge. There's no way to 90 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: win against the woke people. That's not part of it. 91 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: They're not talking to you to come to an understanding. 92 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: They're talking to you to rule you. And more people 93 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: are on nderstanding that. And then the context of Boeing 94 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: obviously you know the doors are falling off your planes 95 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: for instance. Yeah, earlier this month, Boeing installed new CEO 96 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: Kelly Ortberg, quietly dismantled the DEI department and accepted the 97 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: resignation of the office's vice president. So Rufo reached out 98 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: to the same insider to get insight onto what happened 99 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: and how it happened. And he says, tell us, what 100 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: happened with DEI went from dominant to extinct in a 101 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: very short period of time. The insider says, we're shifting 102 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: from a company whose culture is simply the average of 103 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: corporate America to a distinct and deliberate vision of leadership. 104 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: The new boss wants Boeing focused on being an airplane 105 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: company with our own culture and vision. The resulting cash 106 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: crunch from the crunch from the strike accelerated this culture shift. 107 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: When you start to focus on delivering value instead of 108 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: preserving status, it becomes obvious what drives value and it's 109 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: not DEI. And then he gets into he asked my 110 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: senses that many executives are not genuinely committed to DEIS 111 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: and ideology. They simply want to build airplanes or create software, 112 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: for instance, but they feel social pressure to maintain these departments. 113 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: Is that true at Boeing and if so, when did 114 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: the calculus change? And the answer is DEI is lazy 115 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: thought leadership best practiced by companies in smooth waters with 116 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: margins large enough to afford the associated inefficiency. 117 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: That isn't Boeing today. 118 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: When the new boss prioritized results over fitting in with 119 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: other CEOs, it sends a strong signal to the culture 120 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: and builds trust because employees know the rules and it's 121 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: clear how to succeed through hard work and results. McKinsey's 122 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: at the Consulting Group now debunked analysis was the standard 123 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: driver in corporate boardrooms. But even if DEI has to 124 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: defend itself on purely logical grounds. It doesn't stand up bowing. 125 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: More than anything needs an aligned workforce focused on building airplanes. 126 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: And it's an easy decision to reject the divisive and 127 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: US centric language of DEI in favor of unified vision 128 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: for a diverse global company. Anyway, I thought that that 129 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: was really good just as a description of how it works. 130 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: And DEI could go away under a Trump administration, which 131 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 4: won't be you know, working to push that on corporate America, 132 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 4: whereas if Kamala Harris administration, there would have been so 133 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 4: much pressure on all these companies to continue that or 134 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 4: add it if they hadn't already. 135 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: Right, and it's it's a bludgeon again. It's not about 136 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: racial justice or any of the things that claims to 137 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: be about. Like in jackscenario, which is a good one, 138 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: the Harris administration wanted Boeing to suddenly, you know, unionize 139 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: its last three facilities or something like that. 140 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: Well, then they could hammer them with DEI. 141 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: Stuff or through their DEI executives and get them on 142 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: their knees begging for mercy because they're being accused of racism. 143 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: It's the old Jesse Jackson operation push blackmail scam. You 144 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: don't want racial justice, you want something else, but you 145 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: use claims of racial injustice to get there. It's the 146 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: race hustler thing. Anyway, I thought this was good too. 147 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: From the National Review Lathan Watts. DEI is a corporate bust, 148 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: and he starts about the He starts with the wild 149 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: overreaction to the death of George Floyd and how all 150 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: the corporations were terrified, and how Robbie Starbuck, the filmmaker, 151 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: has been using sunlight as the best disinfectant. And he's 152 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: brought failed policies that are legally questionable and highly unpopular 153 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: with consumers to the attention the general public and the 154 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: shareholders of these corporations. As a result, some of the 155 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: best known brands in the country have hastily canceled their 156 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: DEI programs and cut ties with the far left Human 157 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: Rights Campaign, which pressures companies to do things like cover 158 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: sex hormones and puberty blockers for miners.

And this is 330 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 5: in the context of what is one of the most 331 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 5: jaw dropping days in the last ten years of Trump. 332 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 6: I mean, it's I would describe it as God to 333 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 6: your level trolley to just trigger a full on China syndrome, 334 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 6: to own the lives in perpetuity. 335 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 4: So that's Mark Alprin saying it's one of the most 336 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 4: jaw dropping days in the decade of Trump, which is 337 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 4: saying something obviously. And then that's John Fetterman, Senator of 338 00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 4: Pennsylvania saying this is God level trolling, which is China 339 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 4: syndrome miltown, which it might be God level trolling. 340 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I really don't know. 341 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 4: And everybody's guessing that's Trump nominating Matt Gates to be 342 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 4: the Attorney general. 343 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: Fetterman is so much more likable than he used to be. 344 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: Maybe a stroke helped him. I don't know anyway. 345 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: Uh, yes, Matt Gates, you say, is what attorney general? 346 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 2: Went right? 347 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 4: And uh with the news part of it, that should 348 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 4: be mentioned that Republican sources told news outlets yesterday that 349 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 4: a committee report was coming out tomorrow on Matt Gates 350 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 4: was already planned to come out tomorrow on Matt Gates. 351 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 4: That was going to be quite explosive about all those 352 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 4: sex drug allegations that he's had for quite a few years. 353 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 2: So you gotta factor that in. 354 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 4: And again it's he's got so enemy, so many enemies 355 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 4: in the House and the Senate, Republican enemies, that it's 356 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 4: not shocking that Republicans went to the press with that news, 357 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 4: and there's not a chance that it doesn't leak out 358 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 4: of that committee tomorrow, probably by some Republican who hates 359 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 4: Matt Gates. I'll be interesting to see what's in there 360 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 4: and how damaging it is, and whether or not Matt 361 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 4: Gates or Trump care at all. Right to question what 362 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 4: was Trump thinking is the really interesting one to me, 363 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 4: But I don't want to get ahead. 364 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 2: That was it just trolling? 365 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 4: He just likes to see people's heads explode and he 366 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 4: doesn't care if Matt Gates gets confirmed or not. 367 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 2: Was it the. 368 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 4: Five dimensional chess play of you'll spend all your time 369 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 4: and effort on taking down Matt Gates, and I'll get 370 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 4: my other kind of controversial people. 371 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: Through, right, the sacrificial lamb strategy is it? I really 372 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: wanted to throw a hand grenade into the Justice Department 373 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: because of the incredible injustice of how they they've traded 374 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: me over the last quite a few years, which is 375 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: undeniably true. I would argue that's not a good strategy 376 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 1: if you want to reform the Justice Department. 377 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody. 378 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 4: I did want to get this on because somebody brought 379 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 4: this up and I had forgotten this. The FBI and 380 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 4: d OJY previously tried to frame Matt Gates. I don't 381 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 4: know if this is all true, but I remember this story. 382 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 4: Tried to frame Matt Gates with the help of a 383 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 4: con artist. That's the guy he was friends with. Now 384 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 4: was he friends or did he get calmed by this 385 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 4: guy who was trying to extort Gates's family out of 386 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 4: tens of millions of dollars? 387 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 2: Do you remember that whole aspect of the story vaguely? 388 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 4: I can't think of a more perfect choice to tear 389 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 4: the most corrupt agency on Earth down to its studs. Bravo, 390 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 4: President Trump. That's from Sean Davis. If you know his act. Now, 391 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 4: I don't know if I buy all that stuff, but 392 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 4: it's possible that Gates got involved with some people that 393 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 4: tried to extort him and then tried to ruin him 394 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 4: with that whole underage girl thing, because you know, the 395 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 4: investigation was dropped a couple of years back. Now you 396 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 4: got the so called explosive details of a new committee 397 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 4: report coming out tomorrow, and maybe. 398 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 2: That will make it more clear what's going on there. 399 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and remember, in the same way that the legitimate 400 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 1: women's rights movement pointed out that sometimes promiscuous women get raped. 401 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: She's somewhat promiscuous is not an excuse for rape. In 402 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: the same way, sometimes scum bags get blackmailed. But even 403 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: with that, that's the easiest blackmail to get going. 404 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 4: But even with that that I'm I'm I'm more in 405 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 4: line with Lisa Murkowski, the Republican Senator for Alaska, who's 406 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 4: already in no, who's saying he's not. 407 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 2: A serious person. I don't think he's a serious person. No. 408 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 2: I would like a serious person to be Attorney general. 409 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 4: Here's what the Wall Street Journal editorial board writes today, 410 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 4: after praising Donald Trump for a bunch of his choices, 411 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 4: including Marco Rubio. They write, this is a bad choice 412 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 4: for ag that would undermine confidence in the law. 413 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 2: Mister Trump lawed. Mister Gates's law degree from. 414 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 4: William and Mary, but it might as well be a 415 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 4: doctorate and outraged theater. He's a performer and provocateur. In 416 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 4: his view is that the more explosions he can cause, 417 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 4: the more attention he can get. It is impossible to 418 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: get canceled if you're on every channel, he once said. 419 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 4: And if you aren't making news, you aren't governing. Gates 420 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 4: has said on multiple occasions. Yeah, he's part of the 421 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 4: Instagram caucus. 422 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 423 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal editorial board goes on to say, mister 424 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 4: Gates has no interest in governing. When Republicans took control 425 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 4: the House in twenty twenty two, is with a small margin. 426 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: Rather than work to get things done. 427 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 4: Gates sabotage Speaker Kevin McCarthy before fought, before finally leading 428 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 4: a rebellion to oust him, and for no good outcome. 429 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 4: Eight Republican malcontents plunged the GOP into weeks of embarrassing 430 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 4: paralysis since mister Gates had no alternative that could command 431 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 4: a majority. Finally, speaker Johnson emerged, but again there is 432 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 4: no point to it other than unless he just personally 433 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 4: hated McCarthy so much to bring him down, which he did, 434 00:22:59,240 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 4: absolutely did. 435 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 2: Yeah. 436 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: You know, my argument with like the ultramagotype that just 437 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: wants to chuck grenades is that you're not going to 438 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: be successful if you just want to punch somebody in 439 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: the face, great, okay, super But if you want to 440 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: reform agencies or bodies the government that you consider to 441 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,959 Speaker 1: be corrupt and full of duplicity and scumbaggery and anti 442 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: Trump activism which is legit, I'm with you on a 443 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: lot of that. But you're not going to be successful 444 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: with Matt Gates. That's the problem. 445 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 2: It will fail. 446 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: You've got to get somebody who's smart and savvy and 447 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: clean enough that they can't undermine him by saying, you know, 448 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: all the things they would say about Gates, well, a 449 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: lot of which is true. 450 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 2: Right. 451 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 4: That's the last paragraph from the Wall Street Journal editorial board. 452 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 4: The larger objections to mister Gates concerned judgment and credibility. 453 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about, more than the whether he 454 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 4: had sex with a seventeen year old. The US Attorney 455 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 4: general has to make calls them countless difficult questions of 456 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 4: whom to investigate and indict. Gates's decisions simply won't be 457 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 4: trusted by any Democrats, and about half the Republican's that 458 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 4: will think he's just doing this for whatever personal reasons, 459 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 4: or he just wants to be provocative or whatever. 460 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: That's no good. They've got anything. 461 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: Sacrificial lamb or sincere grenade chucked at the DOJ. 462 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 4: I remember when we had Bill O'Reilly on, back when 463 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 4: Bill O'Reilly was the biggest deal in all of media 464 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 4: back in I think it was probably still twenty fifteen 465 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 4: after Trump had announced and asking Bill O'Reilly is a 466 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 4: three dimensional chests and Bill rising, there's no three dimensional 467 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 4: chests going on. 468 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 2: Trump just wings it. 469 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 4: I think it's probably closer to he just he just 470 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 4: knew it would make people's heads explode, and for whatever reason, 471 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 4: the way Trump is built, he loves that more than anything. Yes, 472 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 4: flipping on MSNBC and watching people go crazy with enemies, Yeah, 473 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 4: he just loves that. So I think it's probably more that. 474 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. I hope there. 475 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 4: May never be a great book written by a two 476 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 4: term president about a two term president, because nobody knows 477 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 4: how he makes his decisions but him. 478 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 2: And I'm not sure he's going to write a book 479 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 2: about it. 480 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 7: Right. 481 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 4: We may know less about him for history than any 482 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 4: president we've ever had. 483 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 2: Interesting though, was. 484 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 4: It three dimensional chess or just bomb checking or whatever? 485 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 4: And I have no idea.

Don't forget that code Armstrong. 512 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 4: So I thought this was pretty insightful from Noah Rothman 513 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,719 Speaker 4: of a National Review. As he is tweeting out yesterday 514 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 4: as all the news was breaking. Gabbard and Getz are 515 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 4: probably better understood less as endorsements of their respective worldviews 516 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 4: than an expression of Trump's mistrust of the DOJ and 517 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 4: the intelligence services. Less an appetite for a sad Putin 518 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 4: and permanent anti establishment revolution, then a thumb in the 519 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 4: eye of those institutions. In other words, yeah, he wanted 520 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 4: He liked making people mad about this more than he's 521 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 4: on board with. 522 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: Their philosophies, whatever they are. Yeah, he wanted to punch 523 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: him in the face. I get that. I don't think 524 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: it's a good long term strategy. But I really really 525 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: really don't. 526 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 2: Think Matt Gates will get through. Elsie Gabbert. 527 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm just astonished by that choice. No rewarding a loyalist. 528 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 2: I guess. 529 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 4: Noah Rothman also said not sure if Gates will win 530 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 4: confirmation or not, but the vetting process will test his 531 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 4: tolerance for embarrassment. Yeah, I would say so again with 532 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 4: this report coming out tomorrow and the most thorough background 533 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 4: check by far he's ever gone through. Because to become 534 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 4: Attorney General, you're getting the highest level of course. Because 535 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 4: you are, you get to know all kinds of stuff 536 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 4: that very few people should know about lots of people 537 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 4: that might result in investigations or not. And so you know, 538 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 4: it's gotta be somebody you really really trust, and he's 539 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 4: gonna get that thorough background check, and well see it comes. 540 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 2: Out of that. 541 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: Just you know. My final thought on the subject will 542 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: probably be that Andrew McCarthy, who has been perhaps the 543 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: most eloquent, knowledgeable, and forceful a voice attacker against the 544 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: law fair waged against Trump. He has been brilliant, thorough, 545 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: and merciless in pointing out how corrupt all of this 546 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: has been right. Okay, so he's no never Trumper. His 547 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: headline is on Trump's foolish, futile Matt Gates AG nomination. 548 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 6: Yeah. 549 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 4: I feel like it's spending, you know, some goodwill you 550 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 4: had even with the mainstream media because of such a 551 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 4: big win and a lot of political capital on nothing like, 552 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 4: on nothing other than a couple of days early enjoying. 553 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: How upset Joe Scarborough is. Yeah, I guess he doesn't care. 554 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: And honestly, after the Gates nomination is swept away and 555 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: trumputt nominates somebody more reasonable or clean or whatever, honestly 556 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 1: it'll be forgotten in the mails from the dust storm 557 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: of dust ups over Donald. 558 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 4: J Another yet another thing that is leading to social 559 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 4: isolation in our modern society. I see this every single day. 560 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 4: I deal with it in my own family. I do 561 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 4: want to talk about that, among other things. 562 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 2: Stay with us. 563 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 7: On successive nights last month, potase Say burglars broke into 564 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 7: the homes of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in Missouri and 565 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 7: Travis Kelsey in Kansas. On Sunday, October sixth, police were 566 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 7: dispatched to a burglary where Mahomes lives hours after Mahomes 567 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 7: was targeted and with the Chiefs about to kick off 568 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 7: Monday night. Police say burglars stole twenty thousand dollars in 569 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 7: cash from Kelsey's home and damaged the back door. Taylor 570 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 7: Swift was at that game, but afterwards she and Kelsey 571 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 7: reportedly did not returned to his house. 572 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 2: I spoke to police a little while ago. 573 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 7: That seems they know who they're looking for and they're 574 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 7: confident they will catch them. 575 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 4: That's interesting that two of the most famous football players 576 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 4: in America, knowing they were, you know, not home because 577 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 4: of the game, broke in. 578 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: Somebody broke into their homes. And you would assume, I mean. 579 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 4: I had seen pictures of both of their homes for 580 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 4: a variety of reasons, reading newspaper articles. 581 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 2: You would have sucker. 582 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 4: You would assume people who have houses like that have 583 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 4: a security system or a house sitter or a maybe 584 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 4: even an armed guard. 585 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 2: I mean, you're freaking have. 586 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 4: Taylor Swift coming over and stay in the night.
