WEBVTT - That's A Guy In A Bear Suit

0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 2>Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Four Los Angeles residents are facing charges in a highly

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 3>unusual case of insurance fraud. They allegedly donned a bear costume,

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 3>vandalized their own luxury cars, captured it all on home surveillance,

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 3>and then filed one hundred and forty thousand dollars in claims.

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Insurance investigators became suspicious, and it wasn't long before detectives

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 3>made the grizzly discovery of a bear suit in the

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 3>suspects home.

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 1>So wow, any way to take all the fun out

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>of it? Be nice joke?

0:00:54.360 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 4>No, we had that story yesterday for you, noro reporting

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 4>it in serious tones.

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I find odd, But go ahead. I'm sorry, I'm dispirited.

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I will try to get it back.

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know.

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 4>I want to hear the details on this story because

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 4>I haven't how good a bear costume wasn't Where do

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 4>you get I have seen many bear costumes, and I

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.120
<v Speaker 4>will tell you this is your upper tier of bear costume.

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>On the other hand, here's the scam. These guys take

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>luxury cars, including a twenty ten Rolls Royce Ghost, and

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>rip the hell out of the interior of it and

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>claim a bear did the damage for the insurance money.

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess they're they're clever. Plot though, is not merely

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to take garden tools or carpentry items or.

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>What have you and destroy the interior.

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>By the way, we'll be getting too much more significant

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>fare in a little bit, but particularly given the attention

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>on our k and his hilarious dead bear prank, which

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to me in no way negates his validity as a nominee.

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, Joe was anti vax so these good good wait

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>make that leaf. That's an Olympian leaf.

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, So these guys, clever, clever scamas, we're not just

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna rip it up and claim, hey, we're in tall

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>with our Rolls Royce and I don't know a bear

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>got and not just rip it up. But they were

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:32.239
<v Speaker 1>going to cleverly create evidence so their insurance claim would

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 1>go through by having one of their buddies done a

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>bear suit and be seen rummaging around the car. Well,

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>two things tipped off authorities. Number One, they went to

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>a biologist who said that's a guy in a bear

0:02:50.880 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>suit number two. Number two. Further investigation unveiled two more

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>claims involving other super luxury cars, all on the same

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>day in location in Lake Arrowhead in the Tahoe region.

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 4>Wow, it's amazing how dumb criminals often are. Oh yeah, wow,

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 4>So the bear suit part is dumb. But so you

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 4>were gonna do it multiple times in one day?

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Correct? Think that nobody would catch on?

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>What?

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty odds.

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't happen very often that animals get into cars

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 4>and do damage and the insurance company has to pay out.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 4>But it happened to you multiple times in one day.

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 4>I'll be danged. What a weird coincidence? Harry your checks?

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 4>Is that how they thought it would play out?

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>They rarely seen vandal bear, which is mostly seen in Canada.

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Right right, stop facing my luxury car. Beer?

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 4>So I don't remember we talked about this yestherday. So

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 4>did one of them pretend to catch it on video

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 4>or did they park somewhere where they knew there would

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 4>be video surveillance? Well, they they made the video. Yeah,

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 4>has anybody seen the video? Has that been released?

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 2>It? You've seen it? Katie? How's it. Look I did

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>see the video.

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 4>It looks like they parked the car right with an

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 4>eyeshot of a ring camera.

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's okay, so they all right, oh wait a minute,

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:24.559
<v Speaker 1>is that the actual video?

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 2>But there it is.

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm gonna say now I'm watching it.

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>There he is rampaging around in his bearra costume.

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Would have been funny. Oh you know, right, so funny.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>So he starts in a fairly convincing all fours ish

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>scratching and.

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Pawing around thing.

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>But then at one point he just sits down and

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>turns in a way that is unmistakably human.

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh that is so funny.

0:04:54.120 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 1>As yeah, re zips up the chest of beer suit

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and then goes back to work mauling the poor car.

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Contest is funny. Oh my god, Oh my god.

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 4>I want to know more about these people who came

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 4>up with this hilarious idea and then thought they could

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 4>pull it off multiple times in one day. And then,

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 4>of course, because they got we're gonna get one hundred

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 4>and forty thousand dollars, I think, okay, so how many

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 4>others or four of you and you're so you're gonna

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 4>go off and live your unbelievable life of your dreams

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 4>on the forty.

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Thousand dollars each that you got out of the insurance company.

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:31.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what in the hell?

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, scumbags aren't much for long term planning in

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 1>my experience.

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 2>But yeah.

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Now, the way this is worded in LA magazine is

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that these subjects reportedly swindled insurance companies out of one

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty and thirty nine dollars before being apprehended.

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Wow. So evidently their claims were paid.

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 1>And then it got kicked up to the fraud department

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.160
<v Speaker 1>at the insurance companies.

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I guess I don't know.

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 4>So you're telling me if you had looked at that

0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 4>video and didn't know the story, If you heard the

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 4>story a bear broke into a car and rampage around,

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 4>ruin it, which is not impossible, happens in cabins all

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 4>the time. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, would you have immediately said,

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 4>wait a second if you hadn't known it was a

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 4>guy in a bear costume, do you think.

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Hang on, I'm watching the Oh, the moment I'll make

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>sure you see this during the commercials, But the moment

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.359
<v Speaker 1>he sits down and turns it also clearly shows that

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 1>it's a bear suit loose bear suit because of the

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.159
<v Speaker 1>way that the as you like you're sitting but you turn,

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the way the fabric creases is so obviously somebody wearing

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>it low rent bear.

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Costume, a loaded medium runt. They were not a particularly

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.040
<v Speaker 2>good letter costume. Is the problem.

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well he doesn't fill it out because he's.

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 2>That you needed a fat or dude.

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, that is just so funny way and when

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.919
<v Speaker 1>he sits and turns, oh, that's beautiful. We don't post

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 1>this video at Armstrong Engeddi dot com so you can

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you can watch it and enjoy with your friends and family.

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 4>And keeping with your axiom about people and their intelligence

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 4>and crime.

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Ah. Yes, my old.

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Buddy Drew, the career FBI agent who once said to me, Joe,

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>if you want proof that you're not smart enough to

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>pull off a life of crime, it's that you're considering

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>a life in crime, right, And like.

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>You said, they're not usually in the long term planning.

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 4>But I've been thinking since I was a kid, when

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 4>I would ever hear about various robbery stuff like that,

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 4>I thought, Okay, unless you keep committing these crimes, which

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 4>you'll eventually get caught. You're not set for life because

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 4>you got a thousand or ten thousand or fifty thousand dollars.

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 4>You're not set for life. What are you gonna do now,

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.559
<v Speaker 4>you idiot? You know you're set for a little while.

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 4>Then you go and come up with your next kper.

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 4>I guess that's got to be the thinking. I don't

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 4>live and work among those people, so I don't know.

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 4>But and or they're just junkies that are so desperate

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 4>to score they will do anything. I've known a lot

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 4>of people who live one weekend at a time. I mean,

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 4>all you got to do is have a fun weekend.

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 4>This you don't even think past Saturday night.

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, Nancy Pelosi gets four pinocchios from the Washington Post.

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Then at the bottom of the hour, we will dive

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 1>back into the cabinet appointments President former future president Trump

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>has offered up and some of the controversies around it.

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.319
<v Speaker 1>I suspect I will offend everyone. But if you want panderin,

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.959
<v Speaker 1>go elsewhere. I just I can't do it. Not gonna

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>do it.

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 4>You see, kids, they went out and bought a bear costume.

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.199
<v Speaker 4>You have to spend money to make money. It's an investment.

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 4>You'd put it down on your sheet as an investment

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 4>in the corporation.

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Katie, I need your opinion on this. As always, whenever

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the show gets into aesthetics, I would like, you know,

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:55.599
<v Speaker 1>the womanly perspective for ages. As a kid, I dreamed,

0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>dreamed of having the full gorilla costume dream for Halloween.

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a beautiful dream and it has to do with

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>my great affection for like the nineteen thirties comedies and

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>like Abbot and Castello, the Marx Brothers, Three Stooges and

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. A guy in a gorilla costume is

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>just funny. Winter Home Run, I'm starting to feel like

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe bear costume is even more. I just is there

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>more opportunity.

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 4>For humor more? I think bear costume is funnier. Yeah,

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 4>A really good bear costume really good because you're always

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 4>on your hind legs walking around like a human.

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>That's great, right, And you know, I could go to

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Halloween and Judy could be like a pot of honey

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>or something like that.

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that would be kind of cute.

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Judy could be a singer that you're following around, or

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>she could be a woman with a Kayak for folks

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you know familiar with that meme.

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 2>I vote bear suit. Yeah, okay, let the gorilla dream go.

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I vote suit. You know what, You're right.

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 1>That is one of the main parts of maturing in

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.599
<v Speaker 1>life is you've got to figure out which dreams to

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>let go. There are going to be some tears tonight,

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's time to move on.

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 2>You'll be okay.

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Joe says he's going to offend everyone in your opinions

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 4>about Matt Gaets and other Trump picks. So that's fantastic

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 4>for me. Straight business model.

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 5>The way Divide administration announced this week that will find

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 5>oil and gas companies for emitting methane. And now New

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 5>Jersey is scrambling to come up with a new smell.

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.560
<v Speaker 4>New Jersey is stinky in places New Yorkers like. Making

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 4>fun of New Jersey means nothing to the rest of

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 4>the country, really.

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Correct, correct, If you have not tooled along the turnpike,

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:58.199
<v Speaker 1>it means nothing to you. And yet is it enough

0:10:58.240 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>part of the culture that people chuckle.

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, only from watching sitcoms as a kid,

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 4>where they'd make fun of New Jersey meant nothing to me.

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah.

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Having spent a great deal of time in New Jersey.

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you that it is stinky and urban in

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of places, and absolutely gorgeous and rural in

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of places too. But anyway, it's enough New

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Jersey talk. There's part of me that doesn't want to

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.559
<v Speaker 1>bother with this next story.

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.480
<v Speaker 2>But Nancy Pelosi.

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 1>And your little dog too, Yeah, no kidding, just got

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 1>fact checked by the Washington Post for pinotios, as I

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>prefer to pronounce it. She was talking to the cackling,

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>horrible hens of the View, which really, I'm willing to

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 1>do a carve out on the First Amendment if we

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>can get the View off the air. I am willing

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to risk my most dearest, my closely held principle.

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, so she's on the View the other day.

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, actually there are a couple of things she said.

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.199
<v Speaker 1>But she told The New York Times during a recent

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 1>interview quote, I don't think we were clear enough by

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 1>saying fewer people came in under President Biden than under

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:14.559
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump.

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 2>It's clarity the message.

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>And if that's what Ernie's talking about, and that was

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Joe Manchin's talking about, we weren't clearing a message as.

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 2>To what things are, then I agree with that.

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>So she's saying they lost the election because they weren't

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 1>clear enough about immigration, that fewer people and I quote

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 1>came in under Biden then came in.

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 4>Under Trump, and then she started shrieking, a melting, a melting.

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>The Washington Post published a fact check on Wednesday and

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 1>noted it was a documented fact and I quote that

0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 1>at least four times as many migrants. When did we

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>start saying migrants, folks? Why do we let them change

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the language?

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Anyway?

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>At least four times as many illegal immigrants entered the

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 1>United States under Biden than under Trump. Well, she was

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.599
<v Speaker 1>quite fewer, more than four times, as Manny.

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Too.

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 4>In her defense, I would say, uh, most people don't

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.559
<v Speaker 4>read the fact check column in the Washington Post. A

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 4>lot more people God help us watch the view or

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 4>read the New York Times or hear the quote from

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:26.080
<v Speaker 4>the New York Times or whatever.

0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 4>So you know a lot of politicians have figured out

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 4>say whatever you want to say.

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.959
<v Speaker 1>A spokeshole for the soulless lying Old Hag said that

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Wousey was refording to deportations during the interview, not illegal

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.679
<v Speaker 1>immigrants coming into the country, as she unequivocally stated, but

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 1>she meant deportations.

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness.

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 4>Sold RFK juniors up for HHS secretary. I was just

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 4>looking up at Fox News and I assume this is

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.960
<v Speaker 4>what they're talking about. They got a stat up there,

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 4>according to the CDC, forty percent of kids have at

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.040
<v Speaker 4>least one chronic condition.

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Now it is shocking, it is shy.

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 4>So here's where RFK Junior gets some purchase and probably

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 4>why so many of the MAGA crowd or just people

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 4>in general are willing to listen to him.

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Joe, and I've been saying this for years.

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 4>Why isn't it like the biggest story in America that

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 4>everybody with kids has like at least one kid that

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 4>has anxiety or ADHD or is on the autism spectrum

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 4>or something like every family.

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I know, Why isn't that a bigger crisis. Something's causing

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that And or is obese. Yeah, new stats out on

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>obesit yesterday that were horrific. But that was like nobody

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 1>when I was a kid, and you always get the

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 1>pushback of well they just didn't diagnose it, which is

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 1>true a little, but not near enough to cover everything

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>that's going on now. Yeah, So That's where RFK Junior

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 1>gets a lot of attention because he at least raises

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>it to the you know, four a long fire level

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 1>that it should be at. I don't know if his

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 1>you know prescriptions are anywhere close to correct, but something's

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 1>causing it, and I don't know if it's microplastics like

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 1>he talks about all the time, or elastic in your

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 1>underwear as I hear, or all kinds of different things

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 1>right right, And we're getting very, very close to the

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 1>very thing I wanted to talk about next hour, So

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I won't weigh in here. I'm sorry, not next hour,

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 1>next segment in which I will offend everybody, but I

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about Trump's various appointments and the discussion

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 1>around them. Speaking of dietary stuff, though big news study

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 1>has come out, take it as seriously as you like.

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 2>It's from the University of Chicago.

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Intermittent fasting is not the health hack many people hoped

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>it would make.

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 4>It's the greatest thing I've ever done and I will

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 4>never stop it. Why Because it's the only diet that's

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 4>ever worked for me.

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Bingo Gringo. They said it's actually pretty effective for losing weight.

0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 1>It's the only girl ever worked in my life. And

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 1>it's so simple. I'm a very simple person. So I

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 1>don't start eating till two.

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 4>I quit it seven I've lost weight and kept it

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 4>off for three years.

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Then you eat like a malnourished lion.

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 4>Then, unfortunately, I have an incredibly awful diet. If I

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 4>if I ate better food during that period of time,

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 4>I would be quite healthy.

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 2>But I do not. Yeah, actually, science agrees with you completely.

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a pretty effective way to lose weight for a

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of folks for a limited time. But you know

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 1>that's if you get the weight off. You got the

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>weight off. But there is like everything these days online.

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.560
<v Speaker 1>A cult grew around it that it could lower your

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>inflammation levels, lengthen your life span, blah blah.

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah.

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Some evidence suggests fasting can make it harder to build

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and retain muscle.

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 4>But I'm in the best shape I've been in my

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 4>entire life right now. That's all I can say by

0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:03.080
<v Speaker 4>anecdotal evidence. One man says, I sure eat crap during

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 4>that period of time. If I could straighten that out, man,

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 4>would I feel good? Two o'clock comes and I eat

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 4>garbage for five hours which is horrible. Joe offends everyone.

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 4>That's our new segment coming up.

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Next, Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.159
<v Speaker 1>Trump is really filling out his administration at a rapid

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 1>pace now. He made seven of these announcements yesterday alone,

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the last of which happened last night right.

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Here in Florida. Regarding North Dakota Governor Doug Bergham, I

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>won't tell you the name of is the exact name.

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 2>I think he's an incredible person.

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 5>Might be something like Burgham Burgham.

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 2>He's from North Dakota. He's going to be announced tomorrow

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.000
<v Speaker 2>for a very big position. He's going to head the

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Department of Interior, and he's going to be fantastic. That's

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 2>a Trump doing a joke. I think it's interesting the way.

0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 4>I think it's interesting the way Fox treats all of

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:59.119
<v Speaker 4>the nominees with roughly the same weight as if the

0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 4>rest of the country. He is not saying holy crap

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.919
<v Speaker 4>to Matt Gates, Tulci Gabbard to a certain extent, the

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.119
<v Speaker 4>Defense Secretary, and certainly RFK Junior. But on a lot

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 4>of their news shows they just announced Monnie also Menjie.

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 2>He mentioned RFK.

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 4>Junior for AHHS secretary and Doug Burgham to run Interior

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 4>and other news.

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Whoa, whoa, whoa, Wait a second, this is a big story.

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, I feel very lucky liberated to not have

0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>to I don't worry about that sort of stuff. I mean,

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.720
<v Speaker 1>they obviously don't want to ruffle any white house feathers.

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's no white house feathers. Give a damn what I say.

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's fun.

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 4>One thing before it just starts talking to you should

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.880
<v Speaker 4>know about the AHHS. Thing is we talked to who

0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 4>was the secretary of HHS.

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 1>That we had on I couldn't remember, but I just

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.679
<v Speaker 1>told this story to some friends last night because we

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.919
<v Speaker 1>had them. I remember my opening, Joe, We'll go ahead.

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I was just gonna say. I said, yeah,

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.400
<v Speaker 1>we were really hoping for the Secretary of Defense, but

0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll talk to you.

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.159
<v Speaker 2>And he said, my budget's a lot bigger.

0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:05.159
<v Speaker 4>Which it is, two trillion dollar budget for HHS that

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 4>RFK Junior would be running if he gets a jump

0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 4>two trillion dollar budget.

0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Medicare and medicaid.

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>That's why it's an enormous department with enormous responsibilities for

0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.680
<v Speaker 1>health and food and drugs and all sorts of stuff.

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:21.400
<v Speaker 2>So I want to talk about.

0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>The nominations in general, and some of the more controversial ones,

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 1>and some of the conversation that's going out going on

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 1>out there, including Donald J. Trump pushing the Senate had

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 1>better be ready to just go ahead and do recess

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>appointments for me.

0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.360
<v Speaker 2>So, yes, the.

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:46.160
<v Speaker 1>President gets to appoint his cabinet, and the Senate advises

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:50.800
<v Speaker 1>and consents and in short approves his nominees. Given a

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.040
<v Speaker 1>great deal of deference to the president because he got

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.200
<v Speaker 1>elected to head up the executive branch, and he gets

0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 1>to choose who he wants to help him within reason,

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and if especially senators of his own party say yeah, yeah,

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I kind of see what you're going with with a

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Matt Gates or something. But he's a scumbag and he's

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>dangerous for the country. And sorry, but I'll bet you

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.480
<v Speaker 1>got somebody else back there you could, you could nominate.

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you do that. That's exactly what they're gonna do,

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's exactly what they should do.

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 2>It's irresponsibility.

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Now we could get into the hole as Trump sincerely

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 1>nominating gets or is this three to five dimensional chess,

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>depending on who's describing it. I was trying to understand

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 1>what five dimensional chests might be. I mean, you got

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:41.800
<v Speaker 1>back for it up down through time, yes, and then

0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 1>and I don't throw a wormhole and you end up on.

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Saturday and all quantum mechanics.

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh lord, well, I'm I'm a wasted don't include me

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>in the conversation.

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 2>But that's it's absolutely appropriate. And nobody knows that yet either.

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 2>What's that? Nobody knows that yet.

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Whether it was a sincere nomination or a sacrificial lamb

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:05.919
<v Speaker 4>or whatever everybody's guessing.

0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I could turn out to be wrong, but I think

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the Gates thing will will end before it begins. He

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 1>will either voluntarily withdraw his name at Trump's behest, or

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration will just get winned. He's gonna get

0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:25.160
<v Speaker 1>four votes, I mean total, and Trumpell withdraw it. It's

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:28.199
<v Speaker 1>a terrible nomination. And Gates is an idiot. Oh, he's

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 1>probably not an idiot, but he's morally reprehensible.

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 2>He was barely a lawyer.

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he did go to law school and pass

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:34.679
<v Speaker 4>the bar, but he was a lawyer for like a

0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:38.440
<v Speaker 4>year and did almost nothing at this firm. And then

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:43.960
<v Speaker 4>his rich family, well connected dad was in government, already

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:46.399
<v Speaker 4>started him on his path to being a congress person.

0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:51.400
<v Speaker 4>And so, yeah, I don't know how much law experience

0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 4>you need to have to be attorney general, but it

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:54.760
<v Speaker 4>seems like it'd.

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Be pretty good to have a fair amount.

0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:59.880
<v Speaker 1>And then the other thing that I've heard that really bob,

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and there are some people taking this seriously, is what

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump said. And this is from the moment he came

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.119
<v Speaker 1>down the escalator. What I've been saying a lot of

0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>good ideas. He doesn't get the importance of adhering to

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the Constitution.

0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Neither did Biden.

0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:22.400
<v Speaker 1>For what it's worth, Biden knowingly constantly crapped on the Constitution,

0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:26.120
<v Speaker 1>discore political points like the it's a metaphor.

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 2>To score points like on the student loan forgiveness that.

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 1>He knew from moment one the Supreme Court would have

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:36.640
<v Speaker 1>to smack down. But he and this is disgusting, even

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 1>more disgusting than my metaphors to score political points, forced

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 1>the courts to knock down his utterly unconstitutional policies, and

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 1>then bad mouthed to courts, thereby undermining America's faith in

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 1>what is a brilliant judicial system, for all its flaws.

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Utterly unforgivable. Okay, so it's absolutely both sides. But Trump,

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:06.560
<v Speaker 1>do you know what recess appointments are. It's mostly a

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:12.879
<v Speaker 1>historical you know, what's the word artifact, anomaly, throwback, an achronism.

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:18.480
<v Speaker 1>That's that an acronism back when the Senate was only

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:21.440
<v Speaker 1>in session like half the year and it took three

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 1>weeks on horseback to get from you know, Georgia to

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:29.359
<v Speaker 1>d C to cast a vote. If the Secretary of

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Defense died or something, and we're at war with the

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Indians or Britain or both, or France or whatever, the

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:40.400
<v Speaker 1>president could make a temporary recess appointment, and traditionally those

0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 1>people have served like up to two years. But that

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:48.400
<v Speaker 1>was an an achronism of a vanished age, and it

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 1>gets around the constitutional check and or balance that says, look,

0:23:54.480 --> 0:24:01.639
<v Speaker 1>the Senate has to approve these important appointments. And a

0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:06.639
<v Speaker 1>lot of Ultramaga type people are saying the president won big,

0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:10.679
<v Speaker 1>he won a mandate, he gets who he wants, and

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.800
<v Speaker 1>if the Senate doesn't like it, they can pound sand

0:24:14.800 --> 0:24:18.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, First of all, do you understand, as Jack

0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:21.960
<v Speaker 1>often points out, if you establish this precedent, what you

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 1>have done the next time a Democrat wins, and a

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:29.159
<v Speaker 1>democrat is going to win down the road, I mean,

0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>would you like to fill in the blank or I can,

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:34.520
<v Speaker 1>or I would hope most of our folks listening are

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.919
<v Speaker 1>understand the system well enough to understand. You let some

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 1>lunatic democrat, you know, appoint Rachel or what was the

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:52.879
<v Speaker 1>Dylan mulvaney secretary of Education, and yeah, for instance, and

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you know whatever Hollywood to George Clooney's the secretary of Defense,

0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and it just no, no, by God odd cherish the

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:03.119
<v Speaker 1>checks and balances?

0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Are they inconvenient to your guy? Sometimes? Yeah?

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in the same way, you know, being honest and principle,

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:14.400
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of an inconvenience when you see a guy

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 1>drop one hundred dollar bill. You know what, you could

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:19.640
<v Speaker 1>have one hundred dollars if it wasn't for your stinking mortals.

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 1>But listen, it's an inconvenience. It's a it's a hill

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump has to climb to get his nominees through. And

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:34.200
<v Speaker 1>is it possible that the swamp can slow down Trump's

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 1>righteous efforts to clean up the swamp by rejecting some

0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:42.399
<v Speaker 1>of his most righteous swamp cleaners.

0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Yep, that's true.

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:47.679
<v Speaker 1>That's not a good enough excuse to chuck the constitution.

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 4>Please, I haven't spent a fair amount of time last

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 4>night in social media and going from super maga to

0:25:56.800 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 4>super maga person who was so excited about Matt Gates

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 4>being the Attorney General. My question would be, and maybe

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 4>you can text if you're that sort of person, because

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:11.160
<v Speaker 4>I was sincerely asking, is it because you don't believe

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:13.680
<v Speaker 4>that he's the scumbag that he's being portrayed to be,

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:14.879
<v Speaker 4>or you don't care.

0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you don't care.

0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:17.919
<v Speaker 4>You think if he'd take a wrecking ball to the

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Justice Department, his personal life doesn't matter to you.

0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Or do you think it's a deep state.

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:29.119
<v Speaker 4>Fake news attempt to tear him down, these stories about

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:32.640
<v Speaker 4>the young girls and the way too much sex and

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 4>drugs and all that sort of stuff.

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:37.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'd be curious to hear. I am interested. I

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:38.200
<v Speaker 2>don't actually know the answer.

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.679
<v Speaker 4>I just don't understand because I saw an awful lot

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:45.680
<v Speaker 4>of you know, Christian Cross's prayer included thank God for

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 4>Matt Gates.

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 2>He's a freaking scumbag. He's a bad guy.

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 4>You don't want him around your family or your church,

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:53.920
<v Speaker 4>or your wife or your daughter.

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Or anybody. Tell your sons and your granddad.

0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 4>Now if you hear them away from my dog is

0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:02.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't care about his personal life. I just want

0:27:02.200 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 4>the Justice Department to, you know, have an outsider comman.

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, at least that's an argument.

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 1>But I've got a big fat on the other hand,

0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:12.040
<v Speaker 1>okay for you, and you're gonna you're gonna like it.

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.479
<v Speaker 2>If you hated the far previous stuff, you're gonna like it.

0:27:15.240 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>But after a quick word from our friends that simply

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 1>save home security. All of us love our families, we

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>want to protect our homes. There's no better time to act.

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Even thinking, wow, this simply Safe sounds pretty cool. Right

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:28.159

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:36.200
<v Speaker 1>security to trust.

<v Speaker 2>They're amazing.

0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the big game changer is the active guard outdoor protection,

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:44.200
<v Speaker 4>preventing crime before it even happens. If someone's lurking around

0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 4>acting suspiciously, there are agents watching them, seeing them in

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:50.239
<v Speaker 4>real time, can talk to them directly and set off

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 4>your spotlights even call the police before they've had a

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:54.240
<v Speaker 4>chance to break in.

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they've been working on this technology like crazy, and

0:27:57.320 --> 0:28:00.479
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing. It uses AI like we were saying, and

0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 1>just protects your home before it's broken into. It's amazing.

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:07.000
<v Speaker 1>No long term contracts, no cancelation fees, and it's around

0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:08.640

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Jose Joe's dropping a two kill a ton truth bomb.

0:28:33.080 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Here it comes.

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, brace yourselves. Here's the deal.

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:43.160
<v Speaker 1>And we're not going to agree on Matt Gates if

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 1>you love the guy, We're just never going to. But

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you this, those of you who are

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 1>saying there's going to be huge pushback on any Trump nominee,

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that's actually going to effect change true one hundred percent tury.

0:28:59.720 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah that.

0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:07.160
<v Speaker 1>And am I willing to accept a little loose canonism,

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 1>like a term I just made up being a loose cannon.

0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like RFK Junior. There are times I thought

0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>he's come off as a nut job, but some of

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:24.360
<v Speaker 1>his core messages about big pharma, about big food, about

0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 1>what our kids eat and the way our kids eat,

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 1>he's right about that stuff. I'm looking forward to the

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 1>hearings on RFK Junior because he's an interesting case for me.

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Pete Hagsath, Department of Defense.

0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:45.880
<v Speaker 1>His orientation isn't lobbyists and the military industrial complex. His

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 1>orientation is our heroes and our success as a military,

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 1>pairing it down, making it twenty first century, you know,

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 1>fast moving, light on our feet, embracing technological change. I

0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:01.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know that he's the right guy for the job,

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, they're incredibly powerful forces that don't want any

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 1>of that, and I'm intrigued by his choice. So yeah,

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Trump got a mandate to shake things up. But the

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:15.480
<v Speaker 1>way I look at it, it's like a Venn diagram.

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump chose him, you know, and then you got a

0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 1>circle that will shake things up, and then there's a

0:30:24.920 --> 0:30:28.880
<v Speaker 1>circle of is not a reprehensible human being or a

0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:33.960
<v Speaker 1>crack pot? And sorry if he's a Trump choice and

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:37.840
<v Speaker 1>he would shake up DC. But he's a crackpot or

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.800
<v Speaker 1>a reprehensible human being. No, he doesn't have my support.

0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:43.520
<v Speaker 1>And I thank God for the Constitution.

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:44.600
<v Speaker 2>And I want to tell you what.

0:30:45.120 --> 0:30:46.760
<v Speaker 1>We can find people who are going to do the

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>first couple of things who aren't the second couple.

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Of guys or women.

0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:51.880
<v Speaker 1>It can be done.

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 4>There's gonna be a lot of reporting around all of

0:30:54.480 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 4>these big candidates, particularly Gates, RFK Junior and Tulsea Gabbard.

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:03.960
<v Speaker 4>All your big uh anti Donald publications are going to

0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:05.320
<v Speaker 4>be digging into their lives a lot.

0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh the final thing, A lot of people point to

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 1>George W. Busher did a recess appointment that was back

0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 1>when pre Harry Reid there was a filipbuster against appointments,

0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and they just wouldn't vote.

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 2>They refuse to.

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Vote on his guy that doesn't exist anymore. Fifty one

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 1>gets her done.

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Fifty one gets her done. I like the way you

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 4>rhymed it. The I'm saying really good, thanks, thank you,

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 4>uh you those of you from Matt Gates. You either

0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 4>don't believe the stuff or you don't care. Text line

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 4>four one five two nine five KFTC.

0:31:37.640 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 5>He's angry.

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 2>He's angry, little elf. Mike Tyson. I thought that was

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 2>a q slab, buddy, But tomorrow you're gonna knock the

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 2>fuck out.

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Part That sounds are way more WWE than actual boxing.

0:31:59.160 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 2>So Mike Olaora out of my mouse.

0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:03.080
<v Speaker 4>So Mike Tyson slapped Jake Paul at the way in,

0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 4>and then that's Jake Paul's reaction.

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:10.400
<v Speaker 2>It's personal. Now, okay, so how do you watch this thing?

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 4>The Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight won't air like most

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:20.120
<v Speaker 4>boxing pay per views. It'll take place tonight. It's at

0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:25.520
<v Speaker 4>at and T Stadium in Texas on Netflix. If you

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 4>have Netflix, you get to watch. That's the way that

0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:33.280
<v Speaker 4>works for net flicks subscribers. The entirety of the event

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 4>will be free. If you don't have Netflix, then you

0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 4>will need one to watch the fight. It's just whether

0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:41.760
<v Speaker 4>you have Netflix or not. Now we were just discussing. Now,

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:44.600
<v Speaker 4>Usually like this sort of thing, there's like all kinds

0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 4>of these preliminaries. They try to drag it out to

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:48.480
<v Speaker 4>get in as many commercials as possible.

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:49.680
<v Speaker 2>But Netflix doesn't have.

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:51.720
<v Speaker 4>Commercials like that, so there's no reason to drag it

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 4>out to make more money, right, don't you think it's

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:56.720
<v Speaker 4>all about subscriptions?

0:32:56.840 --> 0:32:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, or so you'd think they would.

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:01.720
<v Speaker 1>It would be in their interest to have a good,

0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 1>punchy no pun intended event. So in the future the

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:06.520
<v Speaker 1>next one, people say, yeah, that last one was great.

0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 4>I would assume they're gonna do a lot of promotions

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 4>for other shows that they have on or coming up,

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 4>like you know, internal Netflix stuff, like to remind you

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:16.680
<v Speaker 4>the comedy special with Nate Bargatzi. He's got a new

0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:18.880
<v Speaker 4>one coming out Friday night on Netflix. I gotta believe

0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.160
<v Speaker 4>there's gonna be a lot of that sort of stuff. Yeah,

0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 4>but yeah, i'd believe him wanting more rather than wear

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:28.520
<v Speaker 4>people out and think I wish I hadn't done this.

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea.

0:33:32.040 --> 0:33:35.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so is there an undercart I mean, is like

0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:40.959
<v Speaker 1>mister Beast gonna beat up George Foreman, I don't know.

0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty of.

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:45.719
<v Speaker 1>TikTok is gonna fight Joe Fraser. Joe Fraser even with us,

0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I think he's past that is pretty funny.

0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Peterson's gonna fight mam and Ali's daughter. I'm betting

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:03.920
<v Speaker 1>on Layla. So if I as I've mentioned several times

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:04.560
<v Speaker 1>this week.

0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:07.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm speaking at my son's high school today for career Day,

0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:13.400
<v Speaker 4>and I've wrestled a little bit with how much I should,

0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:16.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, encourage people to get into basically show business,

0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:19.360
<v Speaker 4>because while one, it is very fun and can be

0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:23.120
<v Speaker 4>lucrative if you're successful at it, it, it isn't.

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 2>For most people.

0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 4>And uh, and it's a long slog and a and

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:30.880
<v Speaker 4>a in a bit of a gamble, but that aside.

0:34:30.960 --> 0:34:32.600
<v Speaker 4>I was trying to I was going put together an

0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 4>outline of what I'm going to talk about, and uh,

0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:38.120
<v Speaker 4>because I got to kill thirty minutes somehow. And my

0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:40.520
<v Speaker 4>son is really concerned about how I'm gonna dress. He said,

0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:42.280
<v Speaker 4>don't wear a suit, Dad, Please don't wear a suit.

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:44.719
<v Speaker 4>So I'm not wearing a suit.

0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I told him. I said, I'm gonna come in. I'm

0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna wear a hat backward.

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:48.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna come in with my hat on and then

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:50.279
<v Speaker 4>turn around backwards so everybody knows I'm cool.

0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:55.319
<v Speaker 1>He was really groaning over these ideas, and I've come

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:57.080
<v Speaker 1>up with a rap, so I know how I know

0:34:57.080 --> 0:34:59.400
<v Speaker 1>how kids your age, I corryt so you really like

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:01.759
<v Speaker 1>to talk, but but you want to make money, be

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:04.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of smart, to make sure you're funny, yeah, or

0:35:04.640 --> 0:35:05.359
<v Speaker 1>something like that.

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 4>So with the hat on backwards in my wrap, I

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:12.440
<v Speaker 4>think I'll really bring the high school kids to me, which,

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 4>of course it horrified my son.

0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Did he express to you why he was anti suit?

0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:21.319
<v Speaker 4>He wants to look like a cool job, not like

0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:23.320
<v Speaker 4>a you know, because when you're young, I did.

0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Were in a suit. Seems kind of stayed or something.

0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:27.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it is. I don't remember what

0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:29.359
<v Speaker 2>it was when I was I don't remember being young.

0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:31.719
<v Speaker 4>One weird thing about talking to high schoolers is as

0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:35.080
<v Speaker 4>an older parent, I graduated high school forty years ago,

0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:37.160
<v Speaker 4>so it's not like a lot of the parents who

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:40.120
<v Speaker 4>were there, who graduated high school, you know, twenty some

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:42.320
<v Speaker 4>years ago. You can kind of remember it and relate

0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:44.720
<v Speaker 4>to these people. I mean, life is so much different

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:46.719
<v Speaker 4>than when I went to high school. It's like being

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:50.840
<v Speaker 4>in a different planet. What if you were like really

0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:52.920
<v Speaker 4>tight warm up pants in a tank.

0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:56.879
<v Speaker 2>Top tank top and be a good look. I'm gonna

0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.279
<v Speaker 2>give the there's the door speech. That's my plan. I'm

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:03.600
<v Speaker 2>going to walk in. There's the door. No, there's the door.

0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:06.920
<v Speaker 1>You hear me? If you're not serious about this, there's

0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the door. Oh wait, wow, you're making my skin crawl.

0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 2>The whole class gets up. The whole class gets up

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:15.799
<v Speaker 2>and leaves. Cool.

0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:19.360
<v Speaker 4>They just say cool, we get a study hall or

0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:21.239
<v Speaker 4>a break or something. We'll go to the lunch room

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:22.080
<v Speaker 4>and have milkshakes.

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Um.

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:25.680
