1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 3: And I remember when Elon Musk coasted, and this is

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 3: well before he was a Trumper, this is three or

6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: four years he was just the richest man in the world.

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 3: And a number of the cast members I'm saying that

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: live like they wouldn't. They didn't want to deal with him.

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: They didn't exactly boycott, but they made it plain. And

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 3: I was thinking, really, you have Elon Musk on.

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: Your show for a week. You could talk to.

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 3: One of the most interesting, brilliant people the world has

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 3: ever produced, even about this issue that bothers you so

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: much that he's so rich and lots of people aren't.

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: But no, you don't want to even deal with him.

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: That's what I hate about.

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: The last.

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: That's what I hate about the left.

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: From Bill Maher on Friday Night, He, like a lot

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: of older liberals, horrified by the way his party looks

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: at the world and thinks, yeah, that's why we lost.

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: Most people don't feel this way about things. So there

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: you go. Well, well and just.

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: A breathtaking arrogance of it. I have nothing to learn

25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: listening to anyone else, including Elon Musk, one of the

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: most astounding entrepreneurs ever, you know, stride the earth. I

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: know what I know, I think what I think. I

28
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: don't want to hear anybody else's opinion, and in fact,

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: their opinion is disinformation and should be shut down.

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: We should censor it.

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: I have two friends that texted me over the weekend

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: that they lost old friends when their friends found out

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: that they voted for the Republican candidate for president. Like

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: in one case, they've been friends, like best friends for

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: twenty five years, and their friends said, I'm embarrassed for you,

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm ashamed of you, and I cannot have anything to

37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: do with you anymore after being best friends for twenty

38
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: five years. How crazy is that? That really is beyond

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: rational reckoning. I mean, that's not the way a rational

40
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: human being being. No, it is not unless they believe

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: all of the madness, like you know, the crap Oprah

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: was spewing or whatever, the Nazi stuff. Yeah, yeah, well

43
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: I know in this particular case because I said, what

44
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: was their main thing? And it was because all the

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five thing. They believe the worst versions

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: that were out there. A lot of it was complete

47
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: crap about Project twenty twenty five. This person was married

48
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: to somebody who's Spanic is Hispanic and believes their marriage

49
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: is going to be annulled by the government or something.

50
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're nuts now, do you not know

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: you're nuts?

52
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Well, in the purveyors of that sort of nonsense too,

53
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: I think somebody needs to call them out for being

54
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: completely immoral desperation to get well, it's not it's greed

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: to get clicks and attention, so.

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: You throw out more and more nutty news.

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: And it exists absolutely on the right as well, the

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: whole q andon adjacent click bait, hyper paranoid media thing.

59
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: It's Oh, it's evil. It needs to be called out,

60
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: but on both sides anyway. Yeah, wow, lifelong friendships are

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: decades long friendships. You're dead to me. You voted for Trump? Uh,

62
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: the majority of America did, like most of the states,

63
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: all of the swing states. In New Jersey he almost won.

64
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: But we're insane. Nazis. Really way more black, Hispanic and

65
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Asian people voted for Trump than ever have voted for

66
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Republicans in the past.

67
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: What do you think that is they've internalized white supremacy

68
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: or the word.

69
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: Yes, groceries are too expensive, and the borders are open

70
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: ding the crime is rampant. Well, all right, he almost

71
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: starting into a tangent on a tangent on a tangent

72
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: about crime.

73
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: But don't get me started.

74
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: So Trump's transition team is up and running and going

75
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: full speed. A lot of resumes being kicked around, a

76
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: lot of consideration given to a lot of people. The

77
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: journal was trying to make kind of a big deal

78
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: of the fact that instead of big like what they

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: call him the briefing books or whatever that the president's

80
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: got in the past, Trump really prefers like a website

81
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: where he can see the picture and the resume and

82
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of clips of them doing TV interviews

83
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And there's almost there's just the

84
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: people who wrote this article. There's almost a bit of

85
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: a tone about Trump the video. He can't read a book.

86
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: He's plus you know how important looks are and all.

87
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: But honestly, you know, I've been a Trump critic, but no,

88
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: that makes perfect sense to me. Well, there's a website

89
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: instead of like a book to flips through.

90
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: I get it.

91
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: There's been some mention of the American tradition of one

92
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: president at a time and the incoming president not making

93
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: a big show of blah blah blah. I think what's

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: going on there is our current president's brain don't work,

95
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: and we're trying to send the message to America and

96
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: the world we are up and running. We got a

97
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: guy and he's he's already you know, talking to Putin,

98
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: talking to she, talking to everybody, getting people in line.

99
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that the Washington Post editorial board

100
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: wrote a piece saying Democrats are paying the price for

101
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: hiding Biden's infirmity. Raise my hand, quick, quick thing you

102
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 1: might want to mention. He's still president today. You're talking

103
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: about the Democrats are in trouble for hiding the fact

104
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: that Guiden's brain doesn't work. He's president right now and

105
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: for some these more days. How disturbing is that?

106
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? Wow?

107
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: And again the Washington Post saying Democrats fame the price

108
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: for covering that up is just too rich.

109
00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: I mean, that's come on.

110
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: Come on, where were your endless articles pointing out what

111
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: eighty five percent of America were able to figure out

112
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: on their own. Yeah, and like all of the infamous

113
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: videos of him wandering around glassy eyed or babbling incoherently

114
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: you said were misinformation or out of context or edited. No,

115
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: he's freaking senile and constitutions. All right, sir, that's that's good.

116
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: Now enjoy your jello.

117
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: Eighty five percent of America knew it.

118
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Washington Post, and you were like part of the fifteen

119
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: percent that was.

120
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: Denying it, you lion liars.

121
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: I'll read from some of that later, but I mean

122
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: they even point out when the White House made up

123
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: that term deep fakes to try to cover a couple

124
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: of things, like what oh no, No, they were cheap fake,

125
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,119
Speaker 1: cheap fakes, right, that made up the term cheap fakes

126
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: to cover up a couple of things. Wow. Yeah, Yeah.

127
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: So the transition team is up and running. There have

128
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: not been many names named except for this one. This

129
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: fella gonna be in charge of the border.

130
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 4: Well, look, I've been clear at President Trunction clear, public

131
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 4: safety threats and national security threats will be the priority

132
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: because they have to be. They propose, most dangerous country.

133
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,119
Speaker 4: So we're going to prioritize those groups, those who always

134
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: have final orders, had those that had due process, a

135
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: great tax pair of Spence and our federal judge as

136
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 4: you must go home, and they didn't. They became a

137
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: future there.

138
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: So that's Tom Holman, who is the head of the

139
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Border Guards under Trump. So his crazy revolutionary, racist, radical

140
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: position is those who've gone through the entire due process

141
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: and have a notice to deport outstanding against them, we're

142
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: going to.

143
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: What's the word deport them?

144
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Sanity, please come back to us, Sanity,

145
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: We've missed you terribly. Trump did make a curious announcement

146
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: about the transition, which we'll get to in a second afterward.

147
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: From our friends and sponsors at Prize Picks, did you

172
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the announcement that was over the weekend was kind of funny.

173
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: The President announced that and I quote, I will not

174
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: be inviting former Ambassador NICKI Haley or former Secretary of

175
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: State Mike Pompeio to join the Trump administration, which is

176
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: currently information. I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with

177
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: them previously and would like to thank them for their

178
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: service to our country. And when I heard that, I

179
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: was thinking, you know, there's like three hundred and forty

180
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: million people in America, are you going to announce all

181
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: of them that are not going to be in the administration.

182
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: I got to believe Nicki Haley thought she might be

183
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: Secretary of State or something big, not after he didn't

184
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: use her at all on the campaign trail. That was

185
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: proof that she was on his papoo.

186
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: List, the poopoo list.

187
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Now the slap at Nicky's revenge him for

188
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: her running against Trump and being critical of him. I mean,

189
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: she supported him in the general, but Trump Trump holds grudges.

190
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: The ban I'm Pompeo is really interesting to me because

191
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: he was CIA director you may recall, and then Secretary

192
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: of State through all four years. He lasted the entire term,

193
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: unlike I could go through the list right, and Pompeo

194
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: considered a run for president, but then when Trump made

195
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: noises that he was in, Pompeo immediately got out. So

196
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: why the preemptive stiff arm against Pompeo.

197
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think that one's pretty obvious.

198
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: Pompeo's a big Ukraine is vital to US interests that

199
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: they don't lose to Russia. Guy and he's not gonna

200
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: Trump's not gonna have him at a high level. I

201
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: think Trump's willing to give away quite a bit to

202
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: get this Ukraine Russia thing ended. I think it's more

203
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: than that. That absolutely could be a factor. But according

204
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: to those who study the behind the scenes Trump team,

205
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: Don Junior is wielding much greater influence than he did

206
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: the first time around, which was Don Jr. The really

207
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: good looking one with the beard. Yeah, Kim Gilfoyle, who's

208
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: never mind, never mind, never mind your little dog. Plastic

209
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: surgery sounds great on the way in, but b or

210
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: the first couple times, Yeah, golly golly gee. Anyway, but

211
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: Don Junior behind the scenes, and one of his favorite

212
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: guys is Tucker Carlson, that whole crowd, and Pompeo is

213
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: an old school hawk. He's a piece through strengths guy,

214
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: which Trump shares. But he's also a if we have

215
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: to appreciate American power around the globe, we're gonna do

216
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: it guy, which is very much the Tucker Carlson way.

217
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: And according to j D Vance's latest incarnation, JD's not

218
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: swinging that way.

219
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 2: And also.

220
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: JD's the guy for twenty eight barring other developments because

221
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: Trump is a one termer this time around, obviously, So

222
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: anybody who might challenge JD from gaining stature by holding

223
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: a cabinet position is probably not going to get the gig.

224
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: You're not going to see up and comers in the cabinet,

225
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: they think, you get to see established folks who are

226
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: clearly not going to run for president. So you think

227
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: with the plastic surgery, you get used to your new look,

228
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: and then that is how you slowly get down the

229
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: road to look in like a freak.

230
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: Yes.

231
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, people can delude themselves. We all do it all

232
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: the time because you're thinking, yeah, I'm looking pretty good.

233
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: Then you see a picture of candid picture of yourself

234
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: and you think, good lord damn.

235
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah that happens.

236
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: Or do they give you like if you get five

237
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: plastic surgeries, it's like a card at the yogurt shop.

238
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: The sixth ones free and you think, wow, I've given

239
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: me one for free. I should get the I got.

240
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: There a little dangling. Maybe we'll get this tightened up.

241
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah all right.

242
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: One more note on the one online Maga Acolyte tweeted

243
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: Sunday that the stop Pompeo movement is great, but it's

244
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: not enough right now.

245
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: We need maximum pressure to keep all.

246
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: Neocons and warhawks out of the Trump administration. And if

247
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: we had time, I would dwell on those two terms.

248
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: But Don Junior retweeted his ascent agree one.

249
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: Percent. I'm on it.

250
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: Neocons and warhawks huh okay, we can parse those terms.

251
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: Later on, Trump called Putin over the weekend, so do

252
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: not escalate. And remember we got a lot of troops

253
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: and equipment in Europe, so that was fairly strong talk.

254
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what he's gonna try to do.

255
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the warhawkish, that's gonna be something to

256
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: watch the WAPO saying, hey, Dems, why did you hide

257
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: Biden's being senile.

258
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: I do want to get to that at some point.

259
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: A lot of other stuff too. Stay here.

260
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: Thas you want to talk about today, I do want

261
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: to talk about my trip to Vegas with my son

262
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: for his birthday slash Christmas present, when we went to

263
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles concert at the Sphere, and I want to

264
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: talk about everything that is Vegas and seeing eighty year

265
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: old men playing.

266
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: Rock and roll music.

267
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: But a couple of texts we got First of all,

268
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: jd Vance will be the first Marine vice president. Wishing

269
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: the Marines a happy birthday, I said to Marine's birthday

270
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: was today. It's yesterday, the tenth. Okay, And why is

271
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: Tesla's stock up so much? Katie brought us a headline

272
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: that Tesla is now worth over a trillion dollars. Tesla

273
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: stock shot up after the election.

274
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: Tesla stock is up.

275
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: We got this text because of the anticipation of relaxation

276
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: and regulations for autonomous vehicles. One of the seriously overlooked

277
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: parts of Trump economy are often republic economies doing well

278
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: is the regulation cutback that happens under red administrations that

279
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: I don't think most journalists understand what all those regulations

280
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: due to you and your ability to start your business

281
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: or run your band or understanding whatsoever. Right, that's a

282
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: big deal anyway. So there's that, and I believe Elon

283
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: will hyper charge that too with his whole government efficiency name.

284
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: That's one of his main tasks.

285
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be fun to watch because he'll be very

286
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: open and outspoken and definitely has a large platform obviously

287
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: to talk about the difficulties of trying to reign in

288
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: wasteful government. That could be huge, and this story got

289
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of attention over the weekend and should.

290
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 5: A federal investigation at FEMA after the agency fired a supervisor.

291
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: FEMA Administrator Dan chris Well says the unnamed supervisor man

292
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 5: a survivor assistance team and told her workers not to

293
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 5: go to homes with the yard signs supporting President elect

294
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 5: Donald Trump. Chris Well is not naming the supervisor nor

295
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 5: saying when or where the incident happened, but Governor Ron

296
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 5: Desanti says it was in Florida.

297
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, in Florida.

298
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: Somebody with FEMA was directing people if you see a

299
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: Trump sign in the yard, don't help those people. Can

300
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: you freaking believe it?

301
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: It's insane?

302
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: Hey, Trump haters, I guess it doesn't matter now he's

303
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: a two term president and you know.

304
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: And that's the maximum.

305
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: But just keep doing things that hurt your side or hurt.

306
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: What you want. What the hell is wrong with you?

307
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

308
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: I remember coming across this story last week, and I

309
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: probably should have brought it up, but I thought it

310
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: has something to do with that Trump supporters are making

311
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: anti FEMA statements and we want everybody to stay safe.

312
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: So stay away from from any Trump sign houses.

313
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: But it's just, well, he current just people who live

314
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: in that particular ideological bubble who think, yes, that's something

315
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: I will say out loud in front of other people

316
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: and there will be no backlash.

317
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: Right.

318
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: Well, I was happy to see the FEMA directors horrified

319
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: and vows to get to the bottom of it. So

320
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about another concert later that I

321
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: went to. The lead people in the Eagles are seventy

322
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: seven and seventy eight years old, a youth rual rebellion,

323
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: the rock and roll music.

324
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: I love it.

325
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: But as we've talked about before, and I don't know

326
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: why this is, why can't you still sing and play

327
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: exactly the same as when you were young until you're

328
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: very old?

329
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: Why is that?

330
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: Joe Walshon and Don Henley, for instance, when they would

331
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: walk around, they're shuffling around like Joe Biden and they talked,

332
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: they well we started to banding. They sounded like old men,

333
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: but when they sang and played, they sounded like it

334
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: was nineteen seventy seven. They were seventy seven, but they

335
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: sounded like there was nineteen seventy seven when they sang

336
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: and play and was it legit or were they lip

337
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: syncing like some sort of phony.

338
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: No, no, it was legit. But I just popstars these days.

339
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm happy to see that that's true as a guy

340
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: who plays some music, that you can do it well.

341
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: But how come you can't walk or talk but you

342
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: can sing and play it? Just it doesn't make sense.

343
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: Why when I'm add I hope I can play a

344
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: slide guitar like Joe Walsh.

345
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: I can't now, so that would be weird.

346
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: But Wapo says, why were you hiding the President's brain?

347
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: Stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty.

348
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 6: A zoo in Scotland is trying to recreate a rivalry

349
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 6: online with Thailand's Moo Dang by introducing Hagis, a newborn

350
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 6: pygmy hippo. The only problem is Hagis is fugly as hell.

351
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 6: Police in South Carolina are warning residents to stay indoors

352
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 6: with doors and windows shut after forty monkeys escaped from

353
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 6: a medical research facility. Even worse, they were researching extra

354
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 6: strength viagra.

355
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: Oh boy, like hippo joke too, because that's super cute

356
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: hippo that everybody like this one's fugly?

357
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do America wants a hot hip.

358
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: Ho Oh.

359
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: So that San Francisco forty nine er who won the

360
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: magat wore the MAGA hat and photo bombed in an

361
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: interview after the game got fined a few thousand dollars. Anyway,

362
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: I didn't realize yesterday he did the YMCA dance after

363
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: a sack, and Trump has come out and praised him online.

364
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: So the great Nick Bosa.

365
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: He reacts to the fine with the YMCA. That's hilarious,

366
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: I found out.

367
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 2: Pretty funny.

368
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: Oh, it's all the politics all the time in the NFL,

369
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: to the point that I didn't watch for like a

370
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: season and a half. A guy throws on a MAGA

371
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: hat and that's just that's outrageous.

372
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: Please, they're damn helmets. Splat.

373
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: They are displaying Black Lives Matter slogans, some of them

374
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: some Marxist organization. Okay, they've kind of migrated away from

375
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: the hardcore stuff. Now it's problem like it takes all

376
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: of us. Oh okay, great, glad you got that on

377
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: your helmet. Now I see the world in a completely

378
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: different way. You've really persuaded me.

379
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 4: So.

380
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: The editorial board of the Washington Post writes a piece

381
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: opinion piece trying to protect Biden. Democrats sacrifice their credibility.

382
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: You don't say, yeah.

383
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: Others did too. But we'll get to that.

384
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: And they start with her report, which you might remember.

385
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 2: So Robert Hurr.

386
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: Did the investigation into whether or not Joe Biden should

387
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: be charged with hanging on to classified documents rememory. He

388
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: had him in his garage next to his corvette and

389
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff, And he came out and said,

390
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna charge Biden because a jury could reasonably

391
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: conclude that he's quote a sympathetic, well meaning.

392
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 2: Elderly man with a poor memory.

393
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: In other words, I can't charge the guy because his

394
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: brain doesn't work so bad. The juria will just think, well,

395
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: he couldn't do it. He couldn't do it on purpose

396
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: because his brain does mark well well. Anyway, the Washington

397
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: Post starts with that story because of the way Kamala

398
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: Harris attacked her over that a guy.

399
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: In the Justice Department working for Merrick.

400
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: Garland, the sitting Vice president, attacked him and called the

401
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: report gratuitous, inaccurate, and inappropriate. Kamala Harris went on to

402
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: say the way that the president's demeanor in that report

403
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: was characterized could not have been more wrong, and the

404
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: Washington Post says, at that moment, Kamala Harris gave up

405
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: all credibility because everybody could see with their own eyes

406
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: that Biden was a even if you don't agree with

407
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: sympathetic and will, meaning you certainly agree with elderly man

408
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: with a poor memory who you know doesn't exactly always

409
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: know what he's doing. And her has been repeatedly vindicated

410
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: during the intervening nine months since that report came out.

411
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: The interview transcripts when they came out, bolstered his conclusions.

412
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Of anything, the truth was worse than what mister her described.

413
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: It is now acknowledged almost universally that mister Biden should

414
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: not have sought a second term, but the Democratic establishment

415
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: denied the obvious and propped him up politically, even as

416
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: evidence of his decline mounted. Yeah, outside of the Washington Post,

417
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: I might point out, hey, their editorial board.

418
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: Uh yeah.

419
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: Prominent Democratic politicians changed their tune only after a disastrous

420
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: debate performance in June made it impossible to conceal Biden's

421
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: frailty from the public any longer, forced him to confront

422
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: the possibility of an electoral disaster of November. The credibility

423
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: problems that Miss Harris's repeated defense of mister Biden's sharpness

424
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: illustrated were part of the reasons for the democrats defeat,

425
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: So they just flat lay at her and the Democratic

426
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: Party's feet the decision to try to cover that up

427
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: as a big portion of.

428
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: The loss, which obviously it is. Sure.

429
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Democrats have tried to make fidelity to science, facts

430
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: and truth their distinguishing characteristic as a party. The White

431
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: House's aggressive cover up of mister Biden's decline undermined that claim. Yeah,

432
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: i'd call horsecrap on that claim, But go on, I

433
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: don't know how you can write that piece without acknowledging

434
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: that maybe we should have We were feeling the same way,

435
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: and maybe we should have written some articles like that

436
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: to wit February ninth of this year, Washington Post Editorial Board,

437
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: talking about her report and the kindly old man who

438
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: can't remember yesterday. Yet, there is nothing new about mister

439
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: Biden's memory lapses, malapropisms, and rambling, sometimes embroidered anecdotes. This

440
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: has been an aspect of his political persona since he

441
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: was a much younger man and it is plainly not

442
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: improved with age a couple of quotes from Biden. Still,

443
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: critics are right that mister Hurt did not need to

444
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: lay it on quite so thick. Another among the other

445
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: reasons that it was unfortunate is that it detracted from

446
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: a part of the report that presented mister Biden in

447
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: a favorable light, especially in contrast to his life November opponent,

448
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: former President Trump, blah blah blah. Biden's just fine. He's

449
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: always been like this. I'm summarizing it. And that's from

450
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: a news story. No, that's from the editorial board. Oh,

451
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: that's the editorial board themselves. Wow, because they wrote yesterday

452
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: mister Biden's allies concocted terms such as chief fake, cheap fakes,

453
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: his allies.

454
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 2: You mean you, because it sounds like it was you.

455
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: Mister Biden's allies concocted terms such as cheap fakes to

456
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: dismiss embarrassing video clips in which mister Biden appeared dazed, confused, tired,

457
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: and inaudible.

458
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah he did.

459
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they do concede that voter concerns about mister

460
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: Biden's agent mental acunity and are not only widespread, but

461
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: also perfectly legitimate.

462
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: I'll grant him that. But then he said, but.

463
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: It's important to consider Biden in contrast to his opponent.

464
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: If a guy is completely senile an unable to serve

465
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: even another year of his term, which I was saying

466
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: out loud for a long time, and now the entire

467
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: world degrees, saying, well, the metal acuities legitimate, But you

468
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: got to compare him to Trump. Okay, guys absolutely drooling,

469
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,239
Speaker 1: staring into space, munching on jello within a year. And

470
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: you're saying, well, it's not leave to any conclusions. All right,

471
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: Editorial board, all right, fine, different topic, but also Joe Biden.

472
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: So the Washington Examiner is reporting fifty thousand Russian and

473
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: North Korean troops have descended on the Kursk region and

474
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: are likely to attack in the coming days.

475
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: This is a pretty big story.

476
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: Depending on how it turns out, and I think they're

477
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: trying to do it in the waning days of the

478
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: Biden administration. I'm still making my way through the Bob

479
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: Woodward book Wars, which is a really interesting book, and

480
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: like all of Bob Wardwart's books, gets such unfair treatment

481
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: when they first come out with all the political shows

482
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: trying to find a quote here and there and turn

483
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: it into a he said, she said, as opposed to

484
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: what it is.

485
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: It's a TikTok recount.

486
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: Of how the whole war in Ukraine came about, what

487
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: we knew, what we didn't know, what decisions were being

488
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: made by who when it's freaking fascinating, but people are

489
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: only interested in the gossip.

490
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 2: Part of it.

491
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: It reminds me of what was that movie that the

492
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: Little Dog dies of cancer and everybody's heart is broken,

493
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: But it was pitched as a comedy Marley and they

494
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: kept Marley and me. That's right with the one of

495
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: the Wilson's and Jennifer Aniston, Right, Yeah, I like that.

496
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: But the part I wanted to mention was the disagreement

497
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: between Sullivan and Biden toward the beginning about whether or

498
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: not we should bluff about having putting American troops in Ukraine.

499
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: Joe Biden decided to take it off the table. He

500
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: made a statement out loud maybe you remember this, maybe

501
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: you don't, when he said there will not be US

502
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: troops in Ukraine. Jake Sullivan hated that from the kind

503
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: of tried and true foreign policy theory of you never

504
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: take anything off the table. Why would you take anything

505
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: off the table, which has been true for thousands of years. Yeah, Well,

506
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's argument was, and I think it makes sense,

507
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: is if I don't take it off the table, then

508
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: that's first of all, IM going to be asked about

509
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: it constantly. That'll be the only thing to's asked about.

510
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: And anything less than that will be seen as a retreat.

511
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: And there's no way we're going to put troops in Ukraine.

512
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: So anything less than that about anything we give Ukraine

513
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: or will seem like it's half measures, and I think

514
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: it'll do us more harm than good.

515
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

516
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: You can believe that or not believe that. I think

517
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: it's a really interesting conversation. There are all kinds of

518
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: think tanks. I mean, this was a huge deal behind

519
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: the scenes of whether or not to tell putin, Hey

520
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: you keep doing this and we'll put US troops there,

521
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: or that's on the at least act like that's a possibility. Yeah,

522
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: in isolation, I get that that's it's it's an opinion question,

523
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: and I understand that that's legit. I could see people

524
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: taking the other side of it. On the other hand,

525
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: you're defying thousands of years of wisdom because you couldn't.

526
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: I just don't agree that. Later saying no, we're not

527
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: putting people in as somehow a retreat, I don't.

528
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: I don't agree with that.

529
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: And secondly, when you look at the broad mosaic of

530
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: the Biden foreign policy, we're not going to.

531
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: Do anything and don't don't.

532
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: We're not going to escalate. Please don't escalate. Its every decision. Yeah,

533
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: he's been way too tepid from the beginning to the end.

534
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: And that's one thing it points out in the Woodward

535
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 1: book when they talk to Trump. Woodward talks to Trump

536
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: and Trump makes the point that when the Russians went

537
00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: in in twenty fourteen, while Obama's the president, Obama refused

538
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: to give anything that could be used to fight a war,

539
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: anything at all, And Trump said, Obama gave him blankets

540
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: and pillows. I gave him the first actual weapons and

541
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: his Woodward points out Trump was the first one to

542
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: give Ukraine any weapons, including anti tank missiles or anything

543
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: like that, where Obama was just about meals and blankets. Yeah,

544
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: and Putin was expecting more of the same from the

545
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: Biden administration.

546
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 2: Meals, blankets and that sort of stuff, But they wouldn't

547
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: have the guts to push back in any way.

548
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: And those are some major decisions that don't get enough

549
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: attention in terms of setting up the psychology for a

550
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: guy like Putin, whether or not he was gonna be

551
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: able to pull off an invasion or not. Barack Obama

552
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: said freaking blankets and pillows as pushback to an invasion.

553
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: Well, no, he would.

554
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: He would get a reset button and go over there

555
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: and talk to Putin and just persuade him with his suave,

556
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: ivy league rhetoric.

557
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: I have no idea do you where this is gonna land?

558
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: With Trump?

559
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: His whole I can end this in one day, which

560
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: I assume is like, you know, build the wall.

561
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: Mexico will pay for it.

562
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: It's a it's meant to be hyperbole, but he does

563
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: want to wrap up the war, and and he's made

564
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: a lot of noises that he's not super into Ukraine.

565
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't care if Ukraine.

566
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: Winds or not.

567
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was tempted to go with yet another

568
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: email from anti support from Ukraine folks, but A, we

569
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: don't really have time, and B I'm just tired of

570
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: the I think we're gonna I think this is going

571
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: to play out soon before Trump even gets into office, though.

572
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have a pretty good idea if

573
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: Putin goes in like it looks like he might in

574
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: the next couple of days with fifty thousand troops into Ukraine.

575
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: Hard Trump's gonna make some noises about that. I don't

576
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: We'll see. Yeah, the thea the Trump watching is so

577
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: interesting because he has certain impulses, for instance, you know,

578
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: resisting the temptation of what people call and it's a

579
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: clear shane that has no meaning forever wars or endless

580
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: wars or wars everywhere.

581
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: You're warhawk, you're a neocon.

582
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: On the other hand, to have somebody out negotiate him

583
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: and out tough guy him is abhorrent to Trump. Yeah,

584
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's how that dynamic plays out.

585
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if the best way to run foreign

586
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: policy is whether or not your president gets butt hurt

587
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: and it feels like you're punking him, but you know,

588
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: whatever it takes.

589
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 4: Well.

590
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, as I was discussing with a close relative who

591
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: will remain nameless, I would rather have a bully than

592
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: a coward.

593
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 2: In charge of foreign policy.

594
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: This could be a major deal is putin gonna send

595
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: North Korean troops into Ukraine. They're lined up on the

596
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: border and NATO has drawn a line on that, so

597
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: it could be quite a week and next hour the

598
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: North Korean troops, how are they likely to behave found

599
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: some really interesting perspective on that from North Korean military defectors.

600
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: Awesome lots of stuff all the whites to hear. We've

601
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: mentioned this already. We both know people who have had

602
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: long term good friendships end over this election, Like your

603
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: friend of decades who you're really close with, finds out

604
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: you voted Trump and they just they can't even talk

605
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: to you anymore. First of all, I'd like to know,

606
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: are there any examples of it going the other direction.

607
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: I haven't heard one.

608
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: And judging by the statistics I've seen, it's much much

609
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: much more rare going in the other direction. We just

610
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: got this text. I just left a voicemail and I

611
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: think I sounded awful. It's about my fear. Okay, I'll

612
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: skip that. My fifty three year old son on election night,

613
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: he began texting me cruel and vitriolic messages. He has

614
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: literally removed me from his life. Says he will move

615
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: out of the country and not tell me where he is,

616
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: says I've betrayed him and his brother by my vote,

617
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: and will not talk to fascists. He is typically mellow

618
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: and manages his job in single life. The last text

619
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: word to me was f off needless to say, my

620
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: heart is broken.

621
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: Wow. That is a disease.

622
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: I was talking with a woman who said she cried

623
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: for three days over her oldest best friend, saying I'm

624
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: embarrassed by you, I'm ashamed of you, and I can't

625
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: talk to you anymore.

626
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 2: When found out that she voied Republican a guy that

627
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: I talked to this weekend.

628
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: His daughter lives out of state, she said, I will

629
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: no longer come to see you.

630
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be associating with you.

631
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: And then when she said her last text to him

632
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: was goodbye, and then his first name not dad.

633
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: Wow. You people are wow. Yeah yeah yeah.

634
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: That is so unhealthy and so sad and so completely unnecessary.

635
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: I would like to have some sort.

636
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: Of mandatory national telecast where we discussed this and talk

637
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: to those people. I would probably start with Haye. The

638
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: nature politics is hyperbole. Most of this stuff is made up.

639
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's wildly exaggerated when it's true. So apparently

640
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: you've swallowed you You've believed some stuff that the people

641
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: speaking didn't believe at all.

642
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 2: They're trying to scare you into voting. Let's start there.

643
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: Secondly, let's look at the voting trends of every single

644
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: demographic in America except for college educated white women. And

645
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: they all moved in that direction, every single one of them.

646
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: They're always think about that. Yeah, got some emails on

647
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: the topic, two anonymous rights against my better judgment. I

648
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: decided to see what my college acquaintance has had to

649
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: say about the election.

650
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: On Instagram.

651
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: We have one woman offering well wishes to anyone who's grieving,

652
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: a man who posted merely a black square, and a

653
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: woman with a link to all the nearby counseling centers

654
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: and suicide hotlines.

655
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god, and.

656
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: Another who shares that quote a heart is a heavy

657
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: burden to carry. You know. I'm happy with the result,

658
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: but if it had gone the other way, it would

659
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: have changed my weekend one tiny bit, not the tiniest

660
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 1: bit emotionally, not either my friendships or relationships with family

661
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: or friends. It's because I'm well, I hate to brag,

662
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: but sane it wasn't even across my mind really got this. Uh,

663
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: we'll just say anonymous and San Jose funniest thing I've

664
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: encountered since the election. My left wing San Jose was

665
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: my Chinese dry cleaner said, why.

666
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 2: Do you not vote for Trump?

667
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: I can only understand about half of what she says,

668
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: even after fifteen years. But I said I didn't vote

669
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: for Trump. She gave me a high five. We've talked

670
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: about how much inflation has affected her business and why

671
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: she's had to charge me the new prices. It's the economy, stupid, right.

672
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: People didn't vote in favor of fascism. They voted in

673
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: favor of the border and the crime and the economy

674
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: getting better.

675
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 2: Giemoney, as I said this, John Wan, Yeah, go ahead.

676
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 4: Well.

677
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: Jonathan Turley said this right after the election, roughly ten

678
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 2: minutes ago the end.

679
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: The filibuster movement suddenly went silent in the morning. The

680
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: rights of the minority will suddenly become the cause celeb

681
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: of Washington. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt. I feel

682
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: like I traveled over the weekend. I feel like I

683
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: saw way more Maga Trump stuff than I usually do.

684
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 1: I feel like people are feeling okay about being out

685
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: and proud about it. I think Armstrong and Getty
