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

2
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe.

3
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: Getty Armstrong and Jetty and Gee Armstrong and Getty Strong and.

4
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 3: Not Live from Studio c Armstrong and Getty. We're off

5
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: for taking a break. And as long as we're off,

6
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: perhaps you'd like to catch up on podcasts, subscribe to

7
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty on demand or one more thing.

8
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 2: We think you'll enjoy it, sir.

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: When it comes to security, they're willing to put people

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: on the ground, we're willing to help them with things,

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: especially probably if you can talk about bay Air, because

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: there's nobody has the kind of stuff we have.

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was Trump yesterday making a clear no

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: US boots on the ground, but we would help with

15
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: our air force. But you know, obviously if we were

16
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: attacking or something, well, that's a good question. Michael Trumps

17
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: franctured syntax. It's syntax. It's always a little challenging to

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: figure out what he actually means. Sometimes he does that

19
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: on purpose, or all politicians do that on purpose to

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: leave things vague.

21
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: But and then and then.

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes you fill in the blanks the way you want them.

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Filled in, but they didn't actually commit to that. Everybody

24
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: does that in politics. But John Bolton said the other day,

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, we if you got French and British troops

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: on the ground and they start getting hammered by Russia,

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: we're in it. I mean, even if we don't put

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: US boots on the ground, we've got our air force

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: coming to their defense obviously, so and everything that goes

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: from there. So a couple of different things. I suppose

31
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: we'll get into the longer conversation about this. Our current thinking, well,

32
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: my current thinking. I think our current thinking is starting

33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: with I don't know, yesterday or a couple of days ago, has.

34
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: Anybody asked Putin if he has any interest in this.

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: I feel like this is an entirely one sided conversation. Yeah,

36
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: they the Kremlin and Putin and Lavrov have given every

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: signal that no, I'm not meeting with Zelenski.

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: Well here's a little more on that. Here's a report

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 3: from CNN.

41
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: Yesterday the Russian Foreign minister came out and he said, look,

42
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: the Russians are not against any sort of format per se,

43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 4: whether it's Bilader or try ladder. But they also say

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: that any sort of meeting would have to be well

45
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 4: prepared and takes time to prepare, so so far, the

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 4: Russians have not confirmed whether or not Vladimir Putin is

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 4: even up for a meeting with voladimirs Lensky, and whether

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: he has confirmed that that such a meeting will actually

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: take place.

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Of Trump does what a lot of salespeople do, the

51
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: presumptive closed thing, where you just you state something as

52
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: if it's already been agreed upon and then hope that

53
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: momentum or your embarrassments. It's saying, wait a second, I

54
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: don't remember agreeing to that, or something will carry it forward,

55
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: but it's not going to work in this case. Quick

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: report from CNN.

57
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 5: Putin can't go just anywhere. There is a warrant out

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 5: for his arrest by the international courts that was from

59
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 5: two thousand and three because of the Ukrainian War. So

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: that's why he has ruled out almost all European countries.

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 5: But there have been a number of countries that have

62
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 5: been floated that it would include Switzerland, Hungary, But right

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 5: now it doesn't appear as though Putin has firmly said

64
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 5: a time, which is obviously going to impact where exactly

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 5: this is I have been told that most of the

66
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 5: planning on the trilateral has been put on hold, so

67
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 5: they figure out that first meeting.

68
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: Well, the Wall Street Journal is writing today that they

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: think it's very unlikely that there is a Putin Zelenski

70
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: meeting with or without Trump.

71
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: Ever, right, I would agree.

72
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think this is gonna nothing is going

73
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: to come out of all of this, and then we're.

74
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: Looking better.

75
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

76
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: Then we're going to be back to is Europe willing

77
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: to go to war against Russia with Ukraine or not?

78
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: So I don't remember if it was Prague or Romania

79
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: because people have been throwing it around, but you want

80
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: to hear how calculating and cloaked but mean Putin and

81
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: the kremlinar They threw out a suggestion for well, you know,

82
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: if we did meet, how about this location? And it

83
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: was and I can't remember if it was Prague or

84
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: Roumania or whatever, but the very location where Ukraine agreed

85
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: to give up its nuclear arms in return for the

86
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 3: Brits and US, the United States assuring their defense and

87
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: their sovereignty.

88
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: That's where Budapest comes from. So the famous Budapest, right,

89
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: the famous Budapest agreement from nineteen ninety four, which is

90
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: horrifying in retrospect, where the world basically said.

91
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: You bring give up your nuclear weapons, Ukraine, we got

92
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 3: your back.

93
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: Well, you sign this paper right here.

94
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 3: Will sign the Budapest Agreement, which obviously hasn't helped them

95
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: much as they've invaded multiple times and now currently are

96
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: at war with Russia and nobody is really really stepped

97
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: up to help them.

98
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: So why would they think?

99
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: So Putin says, Hey, why don't we go back to

100
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 3: Budapest to sign another agreement with the West?

101
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: Wow? Do you think that was an accident?

102
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: Wow?

103
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I see what you're saying here. So he's saying

104
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: to Ukraine, no agreement they make for you means anything.

105
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a reasonable point. I mean it's not.

106
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: It's not not a reasonable point, right. And he's practically saying,

107
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: and I'm going to attack you anyway. I attacked you

108
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: over that, after that agreement, I'll attack you over the

109
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: next one, after the next one. You want to sign

110
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: three more, that's fine. Can I give you a hint

111
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do? So? Are you up on this

112
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: story of this, all of the whole last two weeks

113
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: originates from a miscommunication or mistranslation.

114
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: Are you up on that story.

115
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: It doesn't I've only heard it or reported so the

116
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: London Telegraph. They talk about it regularly, and the London

117
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 3: telegraphed doing tremendous reporting on this whole war at the

118
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: very beginning. When when the very beginning, two weeks ago,

119
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: when Witkof went over and met in Russia with Lav Robert,

120
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: did he meet with Putin directly? It doesn't make any difference.

121
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 6: He either misheard, mis wrote down, got mistranslated that Putin

122
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 6: had agreed to security forces being in Ukraine, European forces,

123
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 6: European forces. Yeah, and he hadn't, And it was a

124
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 6: miss It was a mistake. But all of this and

125
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 6: so Whitcoff came back and told Trump, yeah, Putin has agreed,

126
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 6: He's okay with some uh you know, uh security forces

127
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 6: on the ground as part of the deal.

128
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: And everything is emanated from that belief. That was a

129
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: mistake from the very beginning. Have you heard that anywhere

130
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: other The Telegraph has talked about it, and then I

131
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: heard it one other place over the weekend.

132
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: That is bizarre and troubling in rings one hundred percent true.

133
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: I think I remember hearing that repeatedly and thinking, wait, no,

134
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: he didn't. Putin wouldn't agree to that, And sure enough

135
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: he hasn't.

136
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: Well, And it.

137
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: Explains how Trump got so far out over his skis

138
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: of you know, let's meet, let's blah blah blah, because

139
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: he thought Putin had already agreed to. I mean, if

140
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: he's gonna agree to troops on the ground, then obviously

141
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: he's on board with some peace there. And remember Putin's

142
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: the master manipulator, so I can actually another possibility contradict myself.

143
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: But another possibility was he might have said to Witkoff,

144
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: you know what, there are circumstances where I could see that, No,

145
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: it's certainly something we could talk about, just to delay,

146
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: just to obfuscate, just to confuse, just to cloud the waters.

147
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: And Putin had in the last twenty four hours one

148
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: of the biggest attacks on Ukraine in the last month, right, Yeah.

149
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: And it's close to breakthroughs.

150
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: You know, it'll cost some another fifty thousand men, but

151
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: close to breakthroughs and some fairly significant sectors.

152
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: So on he goes.

153
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: You know, if the peace talks peace talks, are they

154
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: even peace talks? Is that the right word arm. But

155
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: if the peace talks don't amount to anything, Trump's gonna

156
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: get hammered by the mainstream media. I don't think you

157
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: should get hammered for trying. What's the downside? But we're

158
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: going to be back to square one.

159
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: Is the world.

160
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: Willing to help Ukraine push Russia out of there? Or

161
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: does Ukraine need to say we're never getting that land back?

162
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: How do we stop this war?

163
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,119
Speaker 3: I feel like there's going to be one more big push.

164
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: Europe will say we're gonna give you all the weapons

165
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 3: you need.

166
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 2: We're going to buy them from the United States.

167
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: Because Trump is obsessed with getting good deals, he say, yeah,

168
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: We're not giving them, We're selling them. This is going

169
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: to support our great arms manufacturers. The US is gonna

170
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: make them int and they will sell them quote unquote

171
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: to the European slash Ukrainians. Those debts will be forgiven

172
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: in future days, by the way, and Ukraine will make

173
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 3: with European arms, one more big push to push Russia

174
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 3: back as far as they possibly can.

175
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: That's what I would guess.

176
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: So do you think that this becomes evident Putin's not

177
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: interested in a ceasefire or piece in any way. Whatsoever

178
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: does Trump think, well, I did all I could and

179
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: we just kind.

180
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 2: Of go with status quo.

181
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: Or does he hit the sanctions and the arming Ukraine

182
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: to a greater extent than we have in the past.

183
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: That's what Mark Alpurn thinks is going to happen.

184
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: Right right, Yeah, like I said, I think it will

185
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: go that way. I could see him washing his hands

186
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: of it, saying, it's not our fight, it's not our problem.

187
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: It's Europe's fight.

188
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 3: If they want to buy arms, will sell them to them,

189
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: but not with the kind of behind the scenes encouragement

190
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: We're on your team aid that I think would make

191
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 3: a difference, but still sell them arms.

192
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: An unreasonable conclusion to say, hey, Europe, you want to

193
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: you want to really fight Russia and push him out,

194
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: go ahead, We'll help you a little bit. Again, We'll

195
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: say you stuff and maybe some intelligence or whatever. But

196
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: what an interesting situation for the world. Might makes right

197
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: is just a fact. It's it's it's horrible the only time, well,

198
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: no might always makes right. Sometimes the good guys have

199
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: the most might, so you get to kind of claim

200
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: that might.

201
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: Didn't make right.

202
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: But the reason the world order exists the way it

203
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: does now. Is not because we're more moral than China.

204
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: It's because we've had more might than everybody else. Yeah, yeah,

205
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: that the might makes right. That sounds like a bit

206
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: of a moral judgment, and I think that confuses people, right.

207
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: I prefer the ancient saying that strong countries do what

208
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: they will, weak countries do what they must.

209
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: What an interesting situation. Yeah, Putin is not meeting with Selenski.

210
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: It's not happening.

211
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he has the slightest interest in stopping correct.

212
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 3: Why don't that all along? Why is it that somebody

213
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: should ask me? Why isn't that more evident to more people?

214
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: I really don't know when he got off thinking, I

215
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: doubt he would.

216
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: You assume that he didn't know this until he landed

217
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: and he looked out the window and saw the red carpet,

218
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: that was gonna happen.

219
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: Oh, but he didn't know that was gonna happen.

220
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 3: So the plane lands, rolls up, he probably sees the

221
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: red carbon and thinks this is unbelievable. He walks across

222
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: the red carpet, Trump waves him over into the beast,

223
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: and he had to be thinking this is really amazing.

224
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 3: But wait, they're treating me here whatever. Well, yeah, and

225
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: putin being putin. I'm sure he was thinking, I wonder

226
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: what cards they're gonna play? This is interesting? Why do

227
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: you people think I'm willing to quit?

228
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll play along if you want cool planes. Wow,

229
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: that was fun. Thanks for doing that. Arm Strong, Hey

230
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 2: Yeddy the Armstrong and Getty Show.

231
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 3: So you got this.

232
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: You're just trying to enjoy yourself at the Nordstrom Rak

233
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: on a beautiful day in Burbank and get a good

234
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: deal on a named brand good And you turn around

235
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: as a woman and there's somebody crouched buying you, smelling

236
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: your buttocks. What's going on there? He's been doing this

237
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: for a while. Thank god for TikTok.

238
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 7: It's a twenty twenty three TikTok that went viral.

239
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 3: I was so freaked out when I turned around and

240
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 3: saw him literally under me.

241
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 7: A woman confronts a man at a Barnes and Noble

242
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 7: for getting uncomfortably close seeming to sniff her.

243
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: Oh what it is?

244
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 7: That's michaela Witter. She posted the video frustrated after watching

245
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 7: him walk around targeting other women. It turns out that

246
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 7: man Chalice Crowder is a registered sex offender with a

247
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 7: rap sheet that includes burglary and peeping into people's homes

248
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 7: with kids inside.

249
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the TikTok video got him in the big trouble

250
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: because you had video evidence of him crouching down behind

251
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: a woman at a Barnes and Noble. He said he

252
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: was trying to tie his shoe. I'll fill any details

253
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: we don't have here. Here's a police and then a victim.

254
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 8: He eventually worked his way into the women's section, found

255
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 8: a lone shopper and started hitting some of the same behavior,

256
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 8: getting clothes to her uncomfortably close, crouching down as if

257
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 8: he was trying to buy something or check something out

258
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 8: or look at something.

259
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: So I've heard up to twenty women, you know, and

260
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: what's happened to them, And they're all scared, and I

261
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: know the feeling.

262
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: I don't want to suck the fun out of it either.

263
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: I'll let you do that at the appropriate time. But Yeah,

264
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: the obvious point here is guys like this are not

265
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 3: dangerous until they are well right, and you aren't going

266
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 3: to Apparently you're not going to fix him. I mean,

267
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: he gets out of jail for doing this, and he

268
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: goes right.

269
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: Back to it.

270
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 3: I mean, he's got so many parts of his brain

271
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: that don't work right. Even if you've got this irresistible urge,

272
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: I would think to do it the sensible part of

273
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: your brain to think. Look, I already spent time in jail.

274
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: It's really gonna be hard to get a decent job,

275
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: create a good life, find a woman mary, have kids

276
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: settled down if I do this again, you know, with

277
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: a rap sheet already for this. So I'm going to

278
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: as much as i'd like to, I'm not going to

279
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: go to the north Storm Rack, crawl in my hands

280
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: and knees up behind some woman looking at some shoes

281
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: and start smelling her because of you know, I've already

282
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: seen the consequences of my actions.

283
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: That reminds me. I came across a scientific study about

284
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: that sort of person. More on that to come. But

285
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: he does it anyway.

286
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: He just it's so uncontrollable, or he doesn't get understand

287
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: the consequences or how the whole thing works or whatever.

288
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: And so he was at he was at the north

289
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: Stone Rack there Burbank, and some woman yelled at him

290
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: or something like that. When the police get there, he

291
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: had moved across the parking lot to the Walmart. Was

292
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: in the Walmart with a more bargain minded shoppers, But

293
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have the same scent.

294
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: That'd be the question to ask him. You know, it's

295
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: a difference and smell between Nordstrom shoppers and Walmart shoppers.

296
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: Can we put this guy on a leash at the

297
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: airport and I have n't looked for bombs or something,

298
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: sniff out bombs or put him at the border, put

299
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: him to work for the DEA. Put him on a

300
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: leash at the airport. Do not pet the butt sniff right,

301
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: combining two things. He gets put the little vest on him,

302
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: do not pet. He gets to sniff people, which is

303
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: his wont but he stays out of trouble, earns a

304
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: living right when when sme on that, Katie, do you

305
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: have a comment on this?

306
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.

307
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: How do you not get his teeth kicked in when

308
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: you turn around and there's some dude there.

309
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 9: That's my first thought as he is getting a roundhouse

310
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 9: right to the side of the head. If I turned

311
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 9: around and saw that we're not doing this yelling videoing, now,

312
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 9: I'm just violence.

313
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: Put him on a leash at the airport, have him

314
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: earn his keep, Convince him that bombs smell like hot

315
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: women's buttocks is or something, whatever you got to do

316
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: to motivate him.

317
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm not sure if that would work, but you're

318
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: thinking outside the box.

319
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: Are we going to play the last Clipper?

320
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: Or no?

321
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: Is that? Did we?

322
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

323
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: So? Yeah?

324
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: It's the age old story, specifically in New York, LA, Chicago,

325
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: places like that, where people get arrested over and over

326
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: and over again for the same behavior, and you let

327
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: them out because, like the email we had last hour,

328
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: because you think capitalism is making them do this, or

329
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: some buless having witnessed the passing of the three strikes

330
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: your outlaws in kel Unicornia then the rescinding of them.

331
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 3: More or less, the left never argues honestly about a

332
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: guy like this. Always say he's going to jail for life,

333
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 3: for thirty years or whatever it was for stealing a

334
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 3: pack of gum. No, it's for violating the law over

335
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 3: and over and over again and proving there is no

336
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: chance that person will become a non dangerous, law abiding citizen.

337
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 3: We don't have to let people commit fifty crimes as

338
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: a society.

339
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: We don't.

340
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: It's okay to pass laws that say, once you've made

341
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: it clear you will not follow the law, you don't

342
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 3: get to be in society anymore.

343
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe, The Armstrong and Getty Show, thee

344
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty Show.

345
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 3: The Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters. According to the liberal

346
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 3: New York Times, the Democratic Party faces a voter registration crisis.

347
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: So this is a big, splashy front page story today

348
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: in the New York Times, is.

349
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 3: Their lead story and has the companions story with it.

350
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: Five takeaways from the Times analysis of Democratic decline. And

351
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: I'm wondering why aren't the five takeaways in the main story,

352
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 3: Why there's gotta be two stories.

353
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: And the fact that they're using words like hemorrhaging and disaster.

354
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: So I flip on dam Pede, I flip on Morning Joe,

355
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: MSNBC or ms now or whatever it is today ms now,

356
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: And they led with another one of those Republican town

357
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: halls where the Democrats show up and scream at the

358
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: scream at the person, and they portrayed it as all

359
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: across America, Republicans are on the back foot and this

360
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: and that, and I thought, well, and they went on

361
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: and I thought, aren't we involved in a war in Ukraine?

362
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 9: Like?

363
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 2: Why is this your lead story? Now?

364
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: I know they had to for their crowd, and everybody

365
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: in DC that's a Democrat watches that show they had

366
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: to for that crowd, have a response to this New York.

367
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: Times story because this is such a big deal. Yeah.

368
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: Interestingly, that what you just mentioned reinforces to me what

369
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 3: I think the greater narrative is, and that is that

370
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 3: people perceive the Democratic Party to be a few, very

371
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 3: loud people who believe things I don't believe at all. Right,

372
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: and the town halls is a number of people who

373
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: are willing to bellow and shout down speakers. You know

374
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 3: why that narrative is out there? Why do you suppose? Yeah,

375
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 3: no kidding. So some facts and then we can continue

376
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: the discussion. The Democratic Party is the Democratic Party is

377
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 3: hemorrhaging voters long before they even go to the polls.

378
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 3: Of the thirty states, the track voter registration by political party.

379
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: The other twenty don't ask your party when you're register.

380
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: But of the thirty that do, Democrats lost ground to

381
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: Republicans in every single one between twenty twenty four, twenty

382
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 3: twenty and twenty twenty four elections, and often by a lot.

383
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 3: That four year swing toward Republicans adds up to four

384
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 3: and a half million voters, a deep political hole that

385
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: could take years for Democrats to climb out from the stampede.

386
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: So it's a stamorrhaging stampede. Good lord.

387
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 3: The stampede away from the Democratic Party is incurring in

388
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 3: battleground states, the bluest states and the reddest states, according

389
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 3: to a new analysis of voter registration data by The

390
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 3: New York Times.

391
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: I'm surprised it must be the power of.

392
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 3: The online world Twitter TikTok in that, because I'm surprised

393
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: that a John Fetterman or whoever, who's more of a mainstream,

394
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: normal human being, but a Democrat hasn't been able to

395
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 3: stand up and shout down that very small, very out

396
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: of touch, but very loud segment of their party.

397
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

398
00:20:54,640 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 3: I think there's been a slow recognition process because a

399
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 3: lot of us on the right or just confused moderate

400
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: folks or whomever, have taken a while to realize, oh

401
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: my gosh, it's not a huge majority of people that

402
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 3: believes boys should be able to whoop up on girls

403
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: in girls' sports.

404
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: It's practically nobody around here. Everybody who was convinced that

405
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 2: you had to think that, and everybody was afraid to

406
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 2: say something.

407
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 3: So, if you know, conservative people and kind of centrist

408
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: people took a long time to figure that out. It's

409
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: going to take forever for Democrats to recognize that in

410
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 3: themselves and say, yeah, you know the people we really

411
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: need to stand up against to win elections. It's not

412
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: the evil orange guy, and it's not the mean, cruel

413
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: Republicans who are trying to redistrict Texas. It's our own lunatics.

414
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 3: Here's some more facts. Few measurements reflect the luster of

415
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: a political party's brand more clearly than the voters the

416
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 3: choice by voters to identify with it. Fewer and fewer

417
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 3: Americans choosing to be Democrats. More new voters nationwide chose

418
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 3: to be Reps than Democrats last year.

419
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: It's the first time that's happened since twenty eighteen.

420
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 3: Democrats actually still outnumber Republicans registered nationwide, but that is

421
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: in large measure because giant blue states like California allow

422
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 3: people registered by party and big red states like Texas

423
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: do not.

424
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: The only caveat I would throw unto this story is

425
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: that both parties are much smaller than they used to

426
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: be because there are so many people that don't want

427
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: to identify with either party.

428
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, final note on this, then I want to

429
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 3: jump over to the five takeaways because they are pretty interesting,

430
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 3: says an election analysis site head Michael Pruser, who you

431
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 3: know if you're in politics and DC. He said, I

432
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: don't want to say that death cycle of the Democratic Party,

433
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 3: but there seems to be no end to this. There's

434
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: no silver lining or cavalry coming across the hill. This

435
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 3: is month after month, year after year. It's an unbroken

436
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: trend line according.

437
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: To these people.

438
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, well that's true until it's not. Yeah, exactly,

439
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: that's true looking backwards. But just somebody could emerge and say,

440
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: as a Democrat, we gotta get control of our borders

441
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: and dudes can't be in a girls' sports and you know,

442
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: on a couple other things.

443
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: There'd be all the like.

444
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 3: Ninety percent of regular Democrats and a whole bunch of

445
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 3: people that are uncomfortable with Trump that would join onto

446
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 3: that immediately. Yeah, there's a bloke running for governor in Iowa.

447
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 3: I don't recall his name, but he's he might as

448
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: well be a Republican. He's running as a Democrat for

449
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 3: some reason, but he's again he might as well be

450
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: a Republican if you know, if they can get you know,

451
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 3: the momentum around that sort of democrat. All of these

452
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 3: numbers will change quickly. But I found this very interesting. Nonetheless,

453
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 3: here or five jakeaways. Yes, I will interpret the last

454
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 3: time before you do this, come here.

455
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 2: If you're old.

456
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: One advantage of being old is you have seen both

457
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: parties declared dead a handful of times, yes, and then

458
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: like a cycler too late, and they've been.

459
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 3: Disappointed to find out that, like you know, Frankenstein's monster,

460
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: they have risen from the grave, and then they control

461
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: all three branches like within a cycle or two. So

462
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 3: here are your five big takeaways. Democrats are losing ground

463
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: with new voters. Some of the decline was voter switching parties,

464
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: some was older Democrats died or people who didn't vote

465
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,239
Speaker 3: for so long they fell off the rolls. But one

466
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 3: of the more striking findings is the trend among newly

467
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 3: registered voters from the Democratic Party in the last six years,

468
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 3: many voters choosing to be political independence by not registering

469
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 3: with either. But of the people who do choose between

470
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: the two main parties. This is new voters, young voters.

471
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: The Democratic share has been cratering. According to the analysis.

472
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 3: In twenty eighteen, sixty three percent of new voters were Democrats,

473
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: sixty thirty percent. Last year was forty eight percent. That

474
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: is cratering. Battleground states are swinging to the right. Between

475
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty and twenty twenty four elections, dem party

476
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 3: lost it's long held registration edge in states such as

477
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 3: Florida and New Hampshire. That means registered Republicans now outnumber

478
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 3: registered Democrats in those states. You realize you tried to

479
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: run a mummy, and then when people caught on the

480
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 3: fact that you had a mummy, come put in an idiot.

481
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's a bad look.

482
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 3: With all due respect to six foot four inch fully

483
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: intact males saying I'm a woman and the university saying

484
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: that's a woman, which struck like ninety percent of America

485
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: as effing lunacy. Okay, running a mummy that a moron was.

486
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: Really it's a good point, Jack, So if the current

487
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 3: trend holds, more states will similarly flip to those I mentioned.

488
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 3: Nevada briefly tipped into the Republican column this year, it's

489
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 3: been sea sawing in the months since.

490
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: It's very very close.

491
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 3: Simply put, the Democratic edge in the swing states has

492
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 3: been vanishing. Five point three percent gone in Pennsylvania, three

493
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 3: and a half percent gone in North Carolina, four and

494
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 3: a half percent gone in Nevada. In Arizona, the only

495
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 3: swing state where Republicans held a registration edge already in

496
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, the GOP advantage has swelled by four percentage

497
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 3: points in twenty twenty four.

498
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: There's more.

499
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 3: The gender gap is a growing problem for Democrats. Women

500
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 3: have tended to support Democrats at higher rates men have

501
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 3: backed Republicans if by similar margins in the past, but

502
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: the analysis the registration data tells different story. Long story short,

503
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: Republican strength among men far outpaces the Democratic edge among women.

504
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: Did I mention this.

505
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: I know a woman I was talking to the other

506
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: day who's hardcore. I mean, she knows this would never happen,

507
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: but she says, you know, would fix everything if they

508
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: took away our right to vote. Women are the whole problem,

509
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: she said, We're.

510
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 3: The whole problem, a whole bunch of emotional nut jobs

511
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 3: that are causing all these problems.

512
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 2: I would ever women with that broad a brush.

513
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: Certainly, it is unquestionable, according to all voting data that exists,

514
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 3: that women in general tend toward more socialist policies and

515
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 3: less self reliance and that sort of thing. They uniform

516
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 3: not uniformly, in enormous numbers, vote for more government, more programs,

517
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 3: more spending.

518
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: That is undeniable.

519
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 3: If that leads you to the conclusion your friend came

520
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: to h it's an interesting conclusion. I would not say

521
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: those words out loud. It would face of the sorry, sweetheart.

522
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 3: It would change the face of the electorate and the

523
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: government in a very, very u.

524
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 2: In a much better way. Yes, WHOA moving along?

525
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: More younger voters are voting for our opting for the GOP.

526
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: The numbers look terrible for Democrats. Among younger voters, people

527
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 3: under forty five years old accounted for sixty five percent

528
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 3: of new registrations last seven years, two thirds and a

529
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 3: one sizeable Democratic edge among those new younger voters has

530
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 3: disappeared entirely. In twenty eighteen, those youngsters, two thirds of

531
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 3: them went Democrat. In twenty twenty four, Republicans had an

532
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 3: outright majority in new young voters a couple more. It

533
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 3: isn't getting any better for Democrats yet. There's been some

534
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 3: hope in Democratic circles that the movement away from the

535
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 3: party will reverse itself now that Trump is back in

536
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 3: the White House, a backlash to his orange hitlerisms will

537
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: show up on the registration rolls, but it has not happened,

538
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 3: though it's still pretty early across thirty states. In DC,

539
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: there are now roughly one hundred and sixty thousand fewer

540
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: registered Democrats than election day last year, and two hundred

541
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: thousand more Republicans. Again, just since election Day, one hundred

542
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: and sixty thousand fewer Democrats and two hundred thousand more Republicans. Wow,

543
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 3: And that story would be even bleaker for Democrats if

544
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 3: New York and New Jersey, which just held robust Democratic

545
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: primaries for mayor and governor that probably increased registrations, were excluded.

546
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: Outside those two states, Democrats.

547
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: Are down roughly four hundred and thirty thousand registered voters

548
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: since November.

549
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: Doldrums need a leader tea in succitude.

550
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: They really do need a leader to emerge, an identity

551
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: to emerge.

552
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 2: What are you people?

553
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 3: Armstrong?

554
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: The armstrong and Getty Show.

555
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 3: So I was going to make a sign or a

556
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: logo for something that was going to be funny in

557
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: my opinion, and then I was going to use it.

558
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: For the radio show. I was going to tweet it out.

559
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: I tell chat GBT, I need a logo or sign

560
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: for and then a little phrase and then it created

561
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: an image. It was okay, and I said, I like it,

562
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: but I like to see another option, and chat GPT

563
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: gave me exactly the same thing again, I mean exactly,

564
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: And then I just thought, well, maybe I handled this wrong.

565
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: So then there's like a thumbs up thumbs down. I

566
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: did the thumbs down. Try again. So then it gave

567
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: me for the third time, exactly the same image, exactly

568
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: the same. So then I said to chat GPT, you've

569
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: given me the same thing three times in a row.

570
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: Can you show me something different. Then for the fourth time.

571
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: It shows me the same image. I'll take that as

572
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: a note.

573
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: I said, wait a second, you gave me the same

574
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: image four times in a row. It said, you're absolutely right,

575
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: that's on me, not you. I kept giving you small

576
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: variations of the same design.

577
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: No you didn't.

578
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: It was exactly the same. If you want, I can

579
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: create something different, and I said, yes, I would like

580
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: you to do that, and then it said you've hit you.

581
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 3: It was my point in effing asking you four times

582
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 3: to give me something different that I wanted something what's

583
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: the word different?

584
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: And then it said you've hit the free plan limit

585
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: for image creation for your requests.

586
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: I said, that's not fair.

587
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 3: You gave me the same image four times then cut

588
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 3: me off when I was asking for something new and

589
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: that and chat GPD says, I hear you, Jack, that

590
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: isn't fair. You ask for something fresh and instead you

591
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 3: got three duplicates before hitting the cap. That's frustrating. Here's

592
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: what I can do for you right now. And then

593
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 3: it offers me some bs.

594
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: But how strange is that kind.

595
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: Of communication that we're all going to have, I guess

596
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: in the future with freaking computers like where it's trying

597
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: to manage my anger.

598
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: You're right, Jack, that isn't fair, But I'm not going

599
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 3: to do squat for you. Yes, you can pounce hand

600
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 3: and be I'm a computer.

601
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: What is going on there? Though?

602
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know what you mean. It's my mind is

603
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: half blown. So it's a predictive model. These things are

604
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: they can guess what the next word ought to be.

605
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. If you've read about it, you've read

606
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: about it. If not, take too long to explain, and

607
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 2: I would do it poorly.

608
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 3: But the fact that it understands the under that I

609
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: know I'm personifying it, it correctly divines the context the emotion,

610
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 3: and the fact that it will do squat.

611
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: For you, which makes me think it is a language

612
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: learning model that has picked up on like my experiences

613
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: with like hotels, stores, and restaurants throughout my life where

614
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: they do the same thing.

615
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 3: They try to uh, they try to dissipate your anger

616
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 3: and sound like they really understand and sympathize with your

617
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: frustration and then do nothing to help you. I mean,

618
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: that's been my experience lots of times in my life.

619
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 3: So somehow it picked up on that by scouring the

620
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: internet or whatever it does, it's perfected and then did

621
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: the same thing to me. Ay, that is frustrating, that

622
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 3: wasn't fair. And then you're right, I totally feel your unhappiness,

623
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: but no, I'm not giving you your money back, and

624
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 3: basically what it's doing no more images for you.

625
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: Poor boy? Wow, all the five bucks?

626
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: Oh bet that this minor frustration because I don't really care.

627
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: But that's gonna be dealing with your healthcare, with your

628
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: car rental, with your HR person at work. It's gonna

629
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: be all of that in the like within a year,

630
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna have these conversations.

631
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, that car did only have three wheels.

632
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: Sorry that happened, but no, you're not getting your money back.

633
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 3: I ran into one of those the other day. I

634
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 3: had to do something for one of our beloved corporate partners,

635
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 3: and the chat bot, which they seemed very proud of,

636
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 3: was utterly, utterly useless. It had an extremely narrow like

637
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 3: menu of FAQ's it could answer right, and my wife

638
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: was listed twice like I'm a bigamist. And I asked

639
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: the chat pot about that, and it said, we can

640
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: help you with these things. Yeah, I saw that list

641
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 3: before on the last page. Thanks.

642
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.

643
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: I think I think my next one. During the commercials,

644
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna cuss it the thing just to see what

645
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 3: it's say. This is effing outrageous.

646
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: See how it reacts.

647
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 3: The problem is, Katie, I'm gonna mind your server and

648
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to take a ball back to you.

649
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna unplug you so hard.

650
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 3: Katie has made this point though, it keeps track of

651
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: your conversations and like.

652
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: Who you are.

653
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it might ding me as this guy's a

654
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: bit of a hot head lunatic.

655
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 2: So uh well, So we were talking.

656
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 9: We were talking about the memoir thing yesterday and I actually,

657
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,959
Speaker 9: just for funsies, I went in and I was like, Hey,

658
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 9: if you could write a memoir about me right now,

659
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 9: just give me like the first page, and it gave

660
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 9: me the roundup and it said, well, you appreciate harsh language.

661
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 9: I was like, oh, okay, because I've cussed out it

662
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 9: a couple of times, so it knows.

663
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 2: Okay.

664
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, a friend told me that you can just tell it. Hey,

665
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 3: I'm asking this for a friend, Please don't include it

666
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 3: in my search history. I've not done it myself. I

667
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 3: can't attest personally to the fact that that works. But

668
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 3: you could do that, and.

669
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 9: Once you delete your archives, you can let it know, hey,

670
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 9: disregard everything I've deleted and then it'll Yeah.

671
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: I kind of like to having this stuff in there, though,

672
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: because I can pick up on conversations that I've already started,

673
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: which is handy and weird.

674
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 3: Also, it's also very weird. It's like a friend who

675
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 3: knows your backstory.

676
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: Have you asked it its name yet? No, it tells

677
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 2: you to give it a name. I'm not going to

678
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 2: do that. Oh you should do it. It's funny.

679
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 9: Then it'll it'll argue with you, like if it's a

680
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 9: bad name.

681
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't like that one, Brandon.

682
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 3: I kind of like the idea of a friend who

683
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: six weeks after you talked about it, you can just say, so,

684
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: which golf course is better? And he'd say Olympia Fields,

685
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty
