1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and he. 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty. 5 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 4: I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital 6 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 4: from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse. This is 7 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 4: Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to take our 8 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 4: capital back. We're taking it back. 9 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: Bedlam and squalor are original enough when it was just bedlam, 10 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: but then the squalor came. That's right, when we're bedlam 11 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: and squalor good ratings. 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 5: I feel like this story because so many journalists live 13 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 5: in Washington. 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: D C. 15 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 5: How big a deal is this, the federal government taking 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 5: over the policing of Washington. 17 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 6: D C. 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: I think it could be a great thing, although the 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: media will never reported, honestly, if the Feds take control 20 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: and they just like eliminate so much of the crime 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: and the squalor and the rest of them bedlam ah, 22 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: thank you. I think that'll be a great demonstration of 23 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: how progressivism doesn't work, because DC is famously a very 24 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: progressive sitting Trump's. 25 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 5: Standing up there, He's still speaking right now. He's got 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 5: sec def Pete. Hegseeth over one shoulder. He's got the 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 5: Attorney General over the other, and all the heavyweights, and 28 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 5: it's got cash. Buttel just talk to the FBI. All 29 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 5: the heavyweights are in the room for this, and he 30 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 5: goes on. 31 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 4: Under the authorities vested in me as the President of 32 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 4: the United States, I'm officially invoking Section seventy forty of 33 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 4: the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what 34 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 4: that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under 35 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 4: direct federal control. And you'll be meeting the people that 36 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 4: will be directly involved with. Very good people, but they're 37 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 4: tough and they know what's happening, and they've done it before. 38 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 4: In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help re 39 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 4: establish law order of public safety in. 40 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: Washington, d C. And they're going to be allowed to 41 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 2: do their job properly. 42 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 5: By the way, maybe the smartest thing Mark Twain ever said, 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 5: and it is a high bar, is his quote about statistics, 44 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 5: the three kinds of lies, lies, damned lies, and statistics. 45 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 5: I roll my eyes at all crime statistics now because 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 5: they can be manipulated in such a way to make 47 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 5: it look like crime's going up or down all the time. 48 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 5: Hasn't you felt like you've had that experience. I mean 49 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 5: it's really tough, oh yeah, to figure out what the 50 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 5: murder rate or you know, or sometimes you take out 51 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 5: murders so the other numbers look better or whatever. So 52 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 5: but all the talk over the weekend leading up to this, 53 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 5: because Trump had telegraphed this, the mainstream media all weekend 54 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 5: was pointing out how crime is actually in Washington, DC 55 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 5: a lot, and so there's no reason to do that. 56 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 5: But like I said, I roll my eyes at all 57 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 5: crime statistics. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not. I haven't 58 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 5: got the slightest idea, but this portion of what Trump 59 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 5: said is pretty interesting. 60 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 2: You want to have safety in the streets. 61 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 4: You want to be able to leave your apartment or 62 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 4: your house where you live and feel safe and go 63 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 4: into a store to buy a newspaper. 64 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: Buy something, and you don't have that. Now. 65 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 4: The murder rate in Washington today is higher than that 66 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 4: of Bogata, Columbia, Mexico City. Some of the places that 67 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 4: you hear about as being the worst place is. 68 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: On Earth's much higher. This is much higher. 69 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 5: So I'll bet that that doge kid young member of 70 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 5: the Doge team that got the crap beat out of 71 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 5: him last weekend in a very trendy bar restaurant area. 72 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 5: Some carjackers and he was trying to protect his girlfriend, etc. 73 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 7: Beat up. 74 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 5: Bet, it's just luck that the police happened to roll by, 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 5: or he'd probably be in the hospital or dead. I'm 76 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 5: sure that one got Trump's attention. Trump had probably met 77 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 5: the guy. 78 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: M Yeah, yeah, I was just trying to find an 79 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: article I can't. I had it the other day that 80 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: a DC police official is under investigation now for faking 81 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: crime statistics, and that a lot of what's being cited 82 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: right now as a drop in crime was completely phony. 83 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: He aggressively pressured cops and other officials to under charge 84 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: to make his stay as police chief look better. I 85 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: don't have the particulars in front of me. Take that 86 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: with a grain of salt, but we'll get them for 87 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: you eventually. 88 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 5: But again, all the reporting was well love us Play 89 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 5: thirty two, Just so you know, this was the way 90 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 5: it was reported on ABC E News Nation. 91 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 8: All this comes as data from the DC Police Department 92 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 8: shows violent crime actually down twenty six percent compared to 93 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 8: the same time last year. DC's owned mayor recently pushing 94 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 8: back against this spotlight on the district's crime. 95 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 9: We had a terrible spike in crime in twenty twenty three, 96 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 9: but this is not twenty twenty three. This is twenty 97 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 9: twenty five, and we've done that by working with the community, 98 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 9: working with the police, working with our prosecutors, and am 99 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 9: working with the federal government. 100 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 5: I would even if I were to even if those 101 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 5: statistics are real, and you're suggesting there just a chance 102 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 5: or not, but even those statistics are real, I would 103 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 5: need to know. Okay, if you had a spike in 104 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 5: twenty three and it dropped quite a bit in twenty four, 105 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 5: is it still really high by historic standards? I certainly 106 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 5: could be right exactly. 107 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, just because it's dropped doesn't mean it's dropped toward 108 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: anything approaching an acceptable level. 109 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. Again, I wish this wasn't a problem. 110 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 5: But so many statistics I just I don't even really 111 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 5: read them because I've been fooled so many times. 112 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: Well, and we've heard, specifically from cops and people in 113 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: the law enforcement system and judges and that sort of people, 114 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: that those statistics are particularly easy to in particularly, they're 115 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: particularly easy to manipulate and particularly and they and they 116 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: are regularly, so I'll be interested to see how this goes. 117 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: There seems to be a real deficiency in voters of 118 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: the left in recognizing how policy relates to the world 119 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: they live, connecting policy to what they see, connecting policy 120 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: to results. And if indeed a right wingie crackdown on 121 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: crime yields a much better, safer, healthier city, I would 122 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: love to see what the reaction is to that. I'm 123 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: sure they will scream racism or whatever, point out a 124 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: disparity in arrests, and blah blah blah. 125 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 5: So the press conference is still going on, and I 126 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 5: would assume at some point somebody's gonna ask Trump about Russia, 127 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 5: Ukraine and him meat and Putin, which is the biggest 128 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 5: story of the week, probably, But the press conference is 129 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 5: still going on. And like I said, all the heavyweights 130 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 5: are there. Why are all the heavyweights there for the 131 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 5: DC police takeover? But over his shoulder, the Secretary of Defense? 132 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 5: Are the Navy seals going in and over his other shoulder? 133 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 3: Right now? It's what's his name? From North Dakota? 134 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: What is he? 135 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: Doug Bergham, Secretary of the Interior. 136 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 3: How's that factor in. 137 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: They're in the country, Jack, the interior of the country, 138 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: clearly do the mask. 139 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 3: I guess it's all. 140 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,559 Speaker 1: Because they live and work in DC. 141 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: All hands on deck for this one. 142 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: In a not really related story, although it has to 143 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: do with the Trump administration. 144 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 5: Wait, wait, just once, Ja Janine Piro is talking right now. 145 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 5: If you watch Fox, you know who she is, US 146 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 5: attorney for DC. 147 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 3: Currently. 148 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 5: She appears to be I've never seen her next to 149 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 5: other people. She appears to be four foot six. She's 150 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 5: the very barely peering over the podium. 151 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: But strong and great in personnel. Here you go anyway. 152 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: US district judge in the Southern District of New York 153 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: has said he will not unseal grand jury testimony records 154 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: in the Julane Maxwell case. On Friday, the Justice Department 155 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: asked two New York judges to unseal the exhibits related 156 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: to ms Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. The judge wrote, and 157 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: his refusal was actually interesting unless you believe that this 158 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: is all a gigantic conspiracy sometimes run by the Jews. 159 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: But the judge wrote he would not release the records 160 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: because they did not answer questions that remained from the 161 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: public relating to those people's crimes or Epstein's death. The 162 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: judge added that the records did not reveal any new 163 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: or meaningful information about the pair's crimes, going against the 164 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: government's claims that they would. The judge called it demonstrably false, 165 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: adding that the push to release the documents could be 166 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: a diversion plan. 167 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: So they got to him. 168 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: To Okay, that's all you have to say. Yeah, uh, 169 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: he accused the government their motion for the unseiling was 170 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: not aimed at transparency but at diversion, aimed at not 171 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: a full disclosure, but the illusion of such.

You know, 344 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: you never know what happens. 345 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 4: But Pritsker is a gross incompetent guy thrown out of 346 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 4: the family business. 347 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 3: Okay, so. 348 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 5: That Pritzker, dude, he's the governor of Illinois and he's 349 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 5: been making a lot of hay with the help of 350 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,120 Speaker 5: the mainstream media over the last couple of weeks welcoming 351 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 5: the Texas Democrats who have fled Texas to try to 352 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 5: stop redistricting in their home state because it would give 353 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 5: the Republicans shameless jerrymandering. It would give the Republicans maybe 354 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 5: five more seats, so they ran to Illinois, where they 355 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 5: poled democracy, except for everybody with any credibility has pointed 356 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 5: out Illinois is the most gerrymandered state in the whole country. 357 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 5: So you ran to the wrong state to make your point. 358 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: So jerrymandering in general, the fact that we're dividing ourselves 359 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: into red states and blue states, et cetera. Let's discuss 360 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: with lanhie Chen, the David and Diane Steffy Fellow in 361 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: American Public Policy Studies at the Hoover Institution and the 362 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: Director of Domestic Policy Studies at Stanford University, Lanhi. Before 363 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: we get into the main discussion, here's my favorite domestic 364 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: policy headline of the day. North Carolina DMV hits all 365 00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: DEI targets. This is all road safety goals priorities. 366 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 6: Right boy, there's an efficient bureaucracy at work. 367 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 5: So I was glad to see you on one of 368 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 5: the Sunday talk shows yesterday, pushing back that this at 369 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 5: this narrative that Texas is doing something nobody's ever even 370 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 5: thought of doing before. 371 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, the Texas redistricting, I mean, just to back 372 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 6: up for a minute, the idea of state legislature in 373 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 6: Texas redrawing lines. I mean, that's what the state legislature 374 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 6: is empowered to do in Texas. And the fact that 375 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 6: they're talking about this being an unprecedented you know, I 376 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 6: guess we call it a mid cycle redistricting. The reality 377 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 6: is this happened in two thousand and three, and so 378 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 6: this is not the first time it's happened. Look, I 379 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 6: don't necessarily think all of this back and forth is great, 380 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 6: but I will say that the concept of now, you know, 381 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 6: California and Illinois and states saying, oh, we got to 382 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 6: fight back, it's just a ludicrous notion because, particularly in California, 383 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 6: the way that lines are drawn is really dif from 384 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 6: the way that they're drawn in Texas. And so you 385 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 6: can go and say you want to do something in 386 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 6: California to respond to what they're doing in Texas. But 387 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 6: the reality is one is legal and one is not. 388 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: Well in what sense. 389 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 6: Well, So in California, district lines are drawn by an 390 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 6: independent commission, and California voters passed twice, actually two constitutional 391 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 6: amendments back in two thousand and eight and twenty ten 392 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 6: to the California Constitution that took power for redistricting away 393 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 6: from politicians and tried to put it in the hands 394 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 6: of an independent commission. That independent commission is composed of 395 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 6: fourteen people, five Democrats, five Republicans, and four people without 396 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 6: party preference, and the concept was, look, you want to 397 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 6: try to take politics as much out of this as possible, 398 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 6: because if you leave redistricting in the hands of politicians, 399 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 6: what's going to happen. They're going to protect their own interests. 400 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 6: They're going to draw lines that are best for them 401 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 6: rather than for the promotion of fair and efficient representation. So, look, 402 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 6: the California system hasn't work perfect. But now what Gavin 403 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 6: Newsom is trying to do is he's trying to say, 404 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 6: we want to do away with this system, not for good, 405 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 6: but just for one election. I want to draw special 406 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 6: lines just for twenty twenty six and then go back 407 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 6: to this process because I don't like the lines the 408 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,959 Speaker 6: way that they are. Right now, and to me, that 409 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 6: is as much a subversion of democracy as anything that 410 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 6: he or any other of his allies have attacked with 411 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 6: what's happening with Donald Trump, for what's happening in Washington. 412 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 6: The concept that we're going to now set aside these 413 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 6: lines because we don't like them, to me is it's 414 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 6: just a massive affront to democracy. So what's happening in California, 415 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,239 Speaker 6: just to set this up, guys, is really different from 416 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 6: what they're doing in Texas. 417 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 7: Wells. 418 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 6: In Texas, the legislature has the right to redistrict as 419 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 6: they want. 420 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 7: We may not like it, but they have that right 421 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 7: to do it. 422 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 6: In California, the legislature does not have that right anymore. 423 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 5: So, first of all, there's a u GO poll about 424 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 5: a week ago. Only six percent of people like jerrymandering 425 00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 5: at all. 426 00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 3: I don't like it. 427 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 5: I wish it didn't happen anywhere to the best extent 428 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 5: that you could avoid it. But I think I read 429 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 5: this in National Review that California already is under representing 430 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 5: Republican voters by quite a lot with the number of 431 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 5: House members they have, even before you get to this, 432 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 5: isn't that correct? 433 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 7: That is correct? 434 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 6: So if you think about the typical statewide share for 435 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 6: Republican candidate in California, you guys may remember I ran 436 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 6: for controller in twenty twenty two statewide. 437 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 5: And got the most votes of any Republican candidate in 438 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 5: the entire country, including Ron DeSantis, which is an incannible 439 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 5: feather in your gap. 440 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 6: Thank you. You guys are like my hype men. So 441 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 6: in that race, I won forty five percent of the vote. 442 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 6: Forty five ish percent of the vote. The typical Republican 443 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 6: wins about forty percent. And just to give you some sense, 444 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 6: we have Republicans have nine out of fifty two seats 445 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 6: right now, so they have seventeen percent of the seats, 446 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 6: seventeen percent of the seats, but under the statewide vote share. 447 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 6: And then to put it into into even more refined point, 448 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 6: what Gavin Newsom is trying to do is he's trying 449 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 6: to draw lines that would reduce the number of Republicans 450 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 6: in Congress from California to four out of fifty two, 451 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 6: which is about seven point five percent, some point six percent. 452 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 6: He wants to go from essentially what is anywhere between. 453 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 7: So even if you if you. 454 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 6: Take the most generous measure, which is what percent generous 455 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 6: for Newsom What percentage of Californians are registered as Republicans. 456 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 6: That's twenty four percent, Okay, twenty four to twenty five percent, 457 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 6: So even by that bear measure, he is trying to 458 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 6: underrepresent Republicans, you know, to a pretty significant extent. You 459 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 6: think about seven point six percent of the House members 460 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 6: being Republican, twenty four percent of California voters are registered Republican, 461 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 6: and then Californians traditionally vote about forty percent for the 462 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 6: Republican candidate. So it is a massive underrepresentation of Republicans 463 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 6: in California that Gavin news is trying. 464 00:23:59,520 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 2: To get to. 465 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's how rageous. 466 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 5: And the national media, and you know, this is part 467 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 5: of the deal if you lean, if you're on the 468 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 5: conservative into politics, you get used to the national media 469 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 5: screwiny all the time. But their portrayal of Texas doing 470 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 5: something so incredibly unholy, but not talking about Illinois and 471 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 5: California is outrageous. 472 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I mean Illinois, they can't even they 473 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 6: can't produce another Democratic seat if they wanted to. That's 474 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 6: how heavily jerrymanned it is already. I mean they cannot 475 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 6: squeeze any more juice out of that fruit. And by 476 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 6: the way, you can say similar things about other states 477 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 6: as well. The challenge for Democrats, though, guys, is if 478 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 6: they go down this road, this is a losing pathway 479 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 6: for them, because there are many more states with Republican 480 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 6: governors and Republican state legislatures where there is an opportunity 481 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 6: if Republicans really wanted to jerryman it, the jerrymander more 482 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 6: Democrats out of office. That's just the reality of it. 483 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 6: So I'm a little puzzled about. And look, I get 484 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 6: why Newsome's doing it. News is doing it because he's 485 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 6: running for governor, excuse me, for president, and he wants 486 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 6: to look like a fighter. I actually wrote a piece 487 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 6: in the La Times last week to this effect. Basically, 488 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 6: the reason why Gavinisim is pursuing this now is because 489 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 6: he wants to ingratiate himself to Democratic primary voters to 490 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 6: look like a fighter against Donald Trump. He doesn't talk 491 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 6: about redistricting in terms of what's best for the state 492 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 6: of the country. He talks about it in terms of 493 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 6: fighting back against Trump. And that's really what this. 494 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 7: Is all about. 495 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 6: So it's unfortunate but that's just the political reality with face. 496 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: We were talking about a think piece earlier today in 497 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal that pointed out that a fewer 498 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: than one out of five states has any significant minority 499 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: representative representation in their government. In other words, in forty states, 500 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: a single party has the trifecta or might as well 501 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: both houses of the legislature and the governor's office. What's 502 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: the problem with that from your perspective. 503 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I mean, look, I take issue with single 504 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 6: party governors, whether it happens a state like Texas or 505 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 6: a state like California, where it's very different concepts, and 506 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 6: I think the challenge is that the party in charge 507 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 6: never really gets asked to justify what they're doing. They 508 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 6: never really get examined in the way that they need to, 509 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 6: and so what you end up with is a lot 510 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 6: of things like fiscal mismanagement, which is what we see 511 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 6: in California in droves. You see policies that go unquestioned. 512 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 6: And so there's just no question that we got to 513 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 6: keep lurching left. We've got to keep financing high speed rail, 514 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 6: We've got to keep on the books all of these 515 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 6: laws that make it difficult for us to grow and 516 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 6: invest businesses in California. So there's all of these things 517 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 6: that are assumptions that are made by the ruling party, 518 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 6: and those assumptions remain untested. If you have unit party governance, 519 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 6: and you have it in California, you see it here, 520 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 6: and I'll tell you the ultimate challenge is that you 521 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 6: end up performing as a state below what you really 522 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 6: should should be able to do. And so I always 523 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 6: say California kind of punches below its weight. 524 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 7: And one of the reasons why is because the state is. 525 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 6: Not subject to any kind of political competition that would 526 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 6: cause a competition of ideas. That's how things improve in states, 527 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 6: is that you have a competition of ideas and the 528 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 6: best ideas win, whether those ideas are left of center 529 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 6: ideas or right of center ideas. We just don't have 530 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 6: that with you in a party governance. So I think 531 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 6: that's the biggest thing that I worry about is the 532 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 6: lack of political competition, not just in California, but as 533 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 6: you guys knowe absolutely correctly, forty out of the fifty 534 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 6: states have basically no political competition, and that's unfortunate. 535 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: So other than waiting for the electorate to say this 536 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: state sucks, we want something different. Is there anything that 537 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: can be done about all of this, including the alleged 538 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: Jerry mendering. 539 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 6: Well, I think it's important for light to be shed 540 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 6: on some of the challenges that get faced when you 541 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 6: don't have when you don't have the political power to 542 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 6: push back. That's why, you know, folks like what you 543 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 6: guys are doing, and what a lot of people out 544 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 6: there who have their own platforms are doing is to 545 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 6: point out, look, here are the challenges that are created. 546 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 6: But you're right, Ultimately, if we want to change this, 547 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 6: it is going to require voters to say we want 548 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 6: a very different direction. And it doesn't have to be 549 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 6: for every single office in the state. We don't have 550 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 6: to turn from a blue state into a red state. 551 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 6: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying we need to 552 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 6: be able to have some balance. And when you have 553 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 6: at least nine Republican members of Congress in a delegation, 554 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 6: that at least helps you have a little bit more 555 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 6: pushback than when you have four. Right, and so we 556 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 6: just have to continue, in my mind, shedding light on 557 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 6: the challenges that are created when one party's in charge. 558 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 7: And nobody ever asked any questions. 559 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: Final Question headline came out today. Trump announces that the 560 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: federal government's going to take over, at least to a 561 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,719 Speaker 1: large extent, the policing of Washington, d C. Is a 562 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: public policy guy. Any thoughts on that. 563 00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 6: Well, Washington has always been a jurisdiction that has a 564 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,719 Speaker 6: little bit of a different flavor than let's say, if 565 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 6: he came in and said he wanted to take over 566 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 6: law enforcement in the state, right, we would have much 567 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 6: more of an issue. 568 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 7: But Washington, d C. 569 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 6: Has always in a lot of ways been governed and 570 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 6: the expectations around it are very different. I would add 571 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 6: to that. I mean, you guys, I don't know if 572 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 6: you've been in DC recently. I'm there a lot. The 573 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 6: crime situation and the governance of that city has really, 574 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 6: in my mind, fallen into some form of disrepair. So 575 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 6: we do need something to happen in that city because 576 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 6: people are no longer able to walk around all parts 577 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 6: of that city safely. They've never made to walk around 578 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 6: all parts of that city safely, but even parts of 579 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 6: that city that were considered safe, there was a congressional 580 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 6: staffer that got stabbed and killed. I want to say, 581 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 6: just a few months ago, random acts of violence. So 582 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 6: these sorts of things need to be addressed, and so 583 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 6: I think the president's trying. 584 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: To do that. 585 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 5: HAILENNI my son, where's a Dodgers cap? I took him 586 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 5: to Dodger Stadium for the first time last month. You'll 587 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 5: be happy to know. 588 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 7: Good for you. 589 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 5: Now for you, he came to the Dodgers through ice 590 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 5: Cube wearing a Dodger's hat more than through sports. 591 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 3: But you know, however you get there. 592 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 6: In your opinion, I'm sure he's like the you know, 593 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 6: the modern day Billy Graham for the Dodgers, right, he's 594 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 6: the evangelists, He's the evangelist, absolutely is. 595 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: These are odd times.

She wants to get her money's worth. 666 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 5: They hand you the burrito at Chipotle, it's the same 667 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 5: as when they handed me Sam when he was born. 668 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 3: It's like swaddling it anyway. 669 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 10: So is fat shaming the planet. 670 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 3: You hear that. 671 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 5: So the portions are too big. So I go to 672 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 5: the gym every day. That's what happens when your wife 673 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 5: leaves you. You part of the comes with a lawyer 674 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 5: and a subpoena and a gym membership. When you become 675 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 5: a single, you have to start working out again to 676 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 5: get back in the game. Oh it's horrible, actually, but 677 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 5: I do work out every day. And a buddy of 678 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 5: mine asked me the other day, he said, have you 679 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 5: tried goblet squats? Because we are talking about how we 680 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 5: hate doing leg exercises. It's just a common thing of dudes. 681 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 5: They hate leg day. He said, have you donet tried 682 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 5: gobbles squats? Sounds like something you can only see on 683 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 5: the dark web. Well, he explained it to me, and 684 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 5: then I chat gpd'd it and I said it misheard me. 685 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 5: I said, what is a goblin squat? And it said, 686 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 5: I think you mean goblet squat? Goblin squad sounds like 687 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 5: something you'd do to scare villagers in a fantasy novel, 688 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 5: which is true, right, But do you know goblet squats, Katie? 689 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 3: I do, and I hate them. Yeah, it so you take. 690 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: A dumb ball to them all the time. For what 691 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: it's worth. Thanks for including me. I'll just stand over here, 692 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: mind my own business. I'd never even heard the term before, 693 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: so I didn't know it was so popular. I'm still 694 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: doing the workouts of like the seventies because I don't 695 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: do any research on this. So, you know, throwing around 696 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: the old medicine ball and the big gray sweats, we 697 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: actually do that again, the medicine ball and what's old 698 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: as new, it's back in. 699 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 3: I'm standing on the thing with the band around you 700 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 3: that shakes you. 701 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: Yes, but so the only. 702 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 5: Reason that I need I'm surprised you do it because 703 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 5: you're a shorter woman that you need to do that. 704 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 5: But the goblet squad I guess was invented for taller 705 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,919 Speaker 5: people because squats are really hard to do. If you're tall, 706 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 5: you tip over, and the advantage of the goblet squad 707 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 5: is you hold the weight in front of you and 708 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 5: you don't tip over. It's the first time I've ever 709 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 5: been to the ability to squats in my life because 710 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 5: just the leverage balance thing doesn't work if you're taller. 711 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: I question your form, but Katie fitness. 712 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 5: He can't have form without falling over if you're taller. 713 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 5: According to the guy who invented the goblet squat. 714 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 10: Okay, well, I'm not gonna argue with him, but that 715 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 10: seems odd, does it. I've not once seen a tall 716 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 10: man fall over attempting to do a squat in the gym. 717 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 5: Interesting, I don't know. All I know is that's why 718 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 5: I hate him so much. It was hard to not 719 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 5: fall over and a guy who invented himself. But nobody 720 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 5: cares about this. But the there was the hardest exercise 721 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 5: I've ever done. When I got done with it, I 722 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 5: was more tired than anything I've ever done in the gym. 723 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 5: And I have a new least favorite exercise that I'll 724 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 5: probably do semiregularly, but it was painful and horrible. 725 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: For us, the older feller and or woman. It's a 726 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: good thing to do to help prevent falls. To just 727 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: get a little more explosive power in the legs, slash 728 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: yourself before you go down. 729 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 6: Power. 730 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: It's really good for you. 731 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 5: I do like the idea of inventing something called a 732 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 5: goblin squat, though I feel like that would catch on. 733 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: Buggety, Buggety. 734 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 2: Now squat you. 735 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 3: Wear the little elf ears and it's part of a 736 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 3: cosplay thing. 737 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: Maybe you could mermaid after that. You remember we learned 738 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: about that. 739 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 5: Yes, when you're done mermaiding, you can do your goblin squats. 740 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 5: It would just be a fun day if you miss 741 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 5: a segment or now, or get the podcast Armstrong and 742 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 5: Getty on demand 743 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 6: Armstrong and Getty
