00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: Armrongt live from the studio c sor it's a dimly

5
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: lit room.

6
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: You put them the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty

7
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 3: Communications Compound. And today on Wednesday, we're toiling under the title.

8
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 4: Of Totus forgives, cotis gets Democrats gotus? Or we need

9
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 4: to stop paying our presidents by the word oof? Did

10
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 4: we need a two hour State of the Union address?

11
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: The wonder I'd be interested in what the thinking is

12
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: on that.

13
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 4: I would love to know. I wonder if it's like

14
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 4: how they film, you know, some movies, or they accumulate

15
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: lots and lots and lots of clips that they could

16
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 4: use to follow it up. It's like, it's what's important

17
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 4: is the next day the echo chamber of the online,

18
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 4: the clips online.

19
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I was saying yesterday that maybe Trump has

20
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: this theory as a guy who understands show business better

21
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: than you know, your average politician, that it's the it's

22
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: the clips in the echo chamber. She might as well

23
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: have as many clips out there as possible. How many

24
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: people watched the whole thing? I mean, I probably watched

25
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes of it, which is more than I usually watch.

26
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: Outside of that room. It's got to be maybe double

27
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: digits fifteen people between forty and forty five. It wouldn't

28
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: be a lot, I'll tell you that.

29
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: No, And so maybe Trump must just think it's it's

30
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: all about the echo chamber and different clips on different

31
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: topics for different needs in different states.

32
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: So, with the highlight being.

33
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: Uh, putting, the Democrats in the situation of are you

34
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: going to stand up and make it clear that you

35
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: prioritize US citizens over legal immigrants or not?

36
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: And they didn't stand. Nope, No, in an excruciatingly long

37
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: and exquisite moment of ut, do.

38
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: You think do you think if they had that back

39
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: and could all get together and discuss it, that they

40
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: would redo it and stand and then explain afterwards.

41
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: Or that's a that's a really interesting question. Probably not

42
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 4: because Trump intentionally phrased it just objectionably enough. Oh you

43
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: think trats? You put them in a box? In what way?

44
00:02:58,639 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 4: Was it objectionable enough?

45
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: Oh?

46
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: Your first duty is to American citizens and not illegal aliens?

47
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: How do you argue with that? What you can? Where's

48
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: the wiggle room on that? Oh, it's just knowing Democrats

49
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 4: in the way they think they couldn't stand for that,

50
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: which which is precisely as the potus intended proof of

51
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 4: where they stand and what their priorities are. That's so crazy.

52
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 4: It was a moment, you know, on par with who's

53
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: in favor of government healthcare for illegal immigrants? Undocumented immigrants

54
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: and all the yay who's raised their hands on the

55
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: primary debate stage back in the day.

56
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: What do you what supposed to What do you suppose

57
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: the vote is on America on that for American citizens?

58
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: Oh? Gosh, eighty eight to six with the inevitable six

59
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: having an opinion.

60
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it might be higher than that on

61
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: the if you did it for the whole country, I

62
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: think more than that percentage of the whole country would

63
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: sit just out of hate tred of Trump. But just

64
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: on the face of it, I mean, how do you

65
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: can You can have every bit of problem you want

66
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: to have with Donald Trump on the way and forced

67
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: this and that and blah blah blah blah blah, but

68
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: to say you don't prioritize American citizens over illegals is nuts.

69
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 4: If you had Barack Obama say that Democrats would approve

70
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 4: eighty percent plus of that notion. Well, yeah, we've played

71
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: the clips in a lot over the last couple of

72
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: weeks of Barack and Hillary and Bill Clinton going back

73
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: in the day of illegals, need to go back home,

74
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: get back in line, do it the right way, pay

75
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 4: a penalty, learn English exactly. So that's how far it's

76
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 4: shifted in that amount of time. But wow, I was.

77
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: I was blown away by that. So what would how

78
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 3: would Trump have handled it if they stood just turned

79
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: it into a see okay, so good, we're all in agreement.

80
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: We need to prioritize American citizens over illegal immigrants. Let's

81
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: start doing it, which should have been signed and he

82
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: might have had an ask. I'm glad to see that.

83
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: Now let's blank. Now let's just start to using e

84
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: verify in a serious way. But you know, the Republicans

85
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: are in on it too, in a way they didn't

86
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 3: some ways, at least from the camera shots I saw,

87
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 3: there wasn't a lot of looking around, like geez, should

88
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: we stand or not? They seem to be really committed

89
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: to sitting all of them in their heart, straight ahead,

90
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: scrolling through their phones.

91
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: Whatever.

92
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: Wow, the whole thing is nuts. I saw a Bill

93
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: maher with a reaction. He's a lifelong liberal that everybody

94
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: needs to go to the State of Union, and he said,

95
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 3: and when there's a when there's a Democratic president, all

96
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: the Republicans need to show. I feel the same way.

97
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 3: I think it's just ridiculous to not go. And I

98
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: will say the same thing if there's a Democratic president

99
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: next term and a whole bunch of Republicans say, I'm

100
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: not going to go.

101
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 4: Listen to those lies. That's ridiculous.

102
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: Show up to the damn State of the Union address

103
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: if you're a member of Congress and sit there and

104
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: listen to it, and then comment on it afterwards.

105
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 4: I quote Representative Angie Craig of Minnesota, I would rather

106
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 4: stick forks in my eyes than listen to that. That well,

107
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 4: it least at least she's got a colorful quote.

108
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: I would rather stick forks in my eyes than be

109
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: here tonight to listen to Donald Trump talk about.

110
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 4: The State of the Union. But this is the People's

111
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 4: House that you and I are in agreement, ma'am, honey.

112
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: I didn't watch it either I don't like my brother

113
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: stick for to my eyes and watch any State of

114
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: the Union address. We are an agreement on that, but

115
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: I'm not a member of Congress. And the whole point

116
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: is the executive branch comes in reports to the legislative branch,

117
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: so that's your job.

118
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 4: Show up.

119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm glad I don't have to watch it,

120
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 3: and I didn't.

121
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 4: I think your honey actually did show up. She was

122
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: explaining that since it is the people's house that oh

123
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 4: it feels like she ought to.

124
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: She was just expressing that if she were given in

125
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: a weird it's hard to imagine how this situation would

126
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: occur if somebody puts her into a You've got two choices.

127
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: I'm only two choices, and we're not letting you out

128
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: of this room until you make one of Okay, you

129
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: can listen to the speech, or we're gonna jam forks

130
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: into your eyeballs.

131
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: Oh boy, whoa.

132
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: Let me think that over. I see pluses and minuses.

133
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: I'll be blinded for.

134
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: Really depend on my site, and yet probably would really hurt.

135
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: How long did you say the speech is going to

136
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: be again? Yeah? Yeah? Are they clean forks? Yeah?

137
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 3: Two hours? Come on, now I'd like to see those numbers.

138
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: How many people you said? It's low double digits, so

139
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: it's like fifteen peoples wide.

140
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: Ain't nobody got time for it?

141
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 3: I agree, ain't nobody got time for that? Wasn't a

142
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: heck of a lot of stuff on her hand? A

143
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: little bit in there. I preferred diplomacy, but barely any

144
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: did he mentioned Ukraine at all?

145
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: I didn't recall it. Hear it if it happened. Yeah,

146
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: And I was pleased on a positive note that he

147
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: did not get to nasty and personal with the Supreme

148
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: Court justice. I was thinking about that. It was terrible

149
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: enough what he said last week. So again he went easy,

150
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: which was good. Somebody got in his ear, maybe Don Junior,

151
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: maybe Milania.

152
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said it was an unfortunate decision by the

153
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: Supreme Court, very unfortunate.

154
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: But then he just moved on. And so.

155
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 3: What I thought with that is, so he's aware that

156
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: what he did Friday wasn't productive or wouldn't be productive.

157
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 4: Last night, So then why is he doing it in

158
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: the first place? Utter lack of discipline.

159
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: But does he He's eighty years old, so doesn't he

160
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: at this point think you know, a whole bunch of times.

161
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: I've just like, when I'm really angry, I've said things

162
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: that turned out not to be a good idea.

163
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 4: Maybe I hold back this time. You know, You've got

164
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 4: a number of factors, and I spend a fair amount

165
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 4: of time thinking about this. I'd be happier if I didn't.

166
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 4: But you've got the combination of his just boiling boiling

167
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 4: resentments against the swamp and the Democrats and the law

168
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 4: fair and everything else. And I can't blame him at

169
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 4: all for having that level of resentment. So that fuels

170
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 4: his machine gun verbiage sometimes. Plus you mentioned his age,

171
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: he's getting into the old man loses his filter portion

172
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 4: of life.

173
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: Oh, perhaps I took in a lot of the punditry afterwards.

174
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: I took in more punditrary than of the speech. And

175
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: i'd say of the mainstream media, the left leaning mainstream media,

176
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 3: they were pretty positive that this was among Trump's better speeches,

177
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: if not his best speech that he's ever given. I

178
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: heard that on like ABC and CNN and CBS places

179
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: like that.

180
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: It was remarkably positive for a long time, I mean

181
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 4: until everybody had left. Yeah, I was watching Mark Hauprin's

182
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 4: podcast afterwards, and he thought it was the best interaction

183
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 4: of Trump reading a teleprompter an ad libbing he'd ever seen,

184
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: of the going back and forth and seamlessly regardless of

185
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 4: people's feelings about the content. I think that immigration stunt

186
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: was freaking awesome. I thought that was brilliant landed. That's

187
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: the only thing that'll be remembered from that. That and

188
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 4: the gold medal hockey team, if anything's remembered at all,

189
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: that those will be the two things a week from now,

190
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 4: let alone for history. But and here's here's a question

191
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 4: for you. Because I'm in the branding business, Jack, I'm

192
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: in the image business, the advertising business. Does Jack Hughes

193
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: get his teeth fixed? Wow? Or does he leave the

194
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: jagged gape in his mouth? That's his brand, it is,

195
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: gotta admit.

196
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: If he walks up to me with teeth, I'm not

197
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: sure I know him without the teeth.

198
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you're the guy's mouse Jack, Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah.

199
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 3: I like the goalie getting a presidential medal of whatever

200
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: it was.

201
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 4: I thought that was a little silly. He's a really

202
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: good goaltender. I'm not sure that puts him up there

203
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: with the war hero and astronauts. I don't know.

204
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: You on me the other old level for hockey once

205
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 3: every fifty years, and he was the reason. Eh, what's

206
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 3: the harmac the values above?

207
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 4: It will be fine, We'll be fine. I don't know.

208
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 4: The hockey moment was good though, I liked it. Oh,

209
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 4: it was lovely. And I tell you what those young

210
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 4: men and we're gonna grab you a couple of clips.

Speaker 4: love of the American people and tried that they could

214

Speaker 4: represent their beloved country.

215
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: According to the New York Times, they allowed themselves to

216
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: be used as political pawns, which damages the entire gold

217
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: medal win.

218
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,079

Speaker 4: standing out, You should be ashamed of yourself. To me,

231
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 4: the best part of that that we edited for time

232
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: was how long the applause went on. It went on

233
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: a long time because the Republicans were just delighting in

234
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: just the moment and keeping the Democrats sitting through the

235
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 4: roaring applause. It was all. It was something.

241
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: I solve it for you. Find the Republicans. That's of

242
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,600

287
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: If AI could take in all the information about you

288
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,360

315
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 6: incident you may have seen online In Washington Square Park

316
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 6: officers were pelted by snowballs. The police commissioner and union

317
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 6: say this was a criminal act. Mayors Iron Momdami tried

318
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 6: to diffuse the situation, saying officers deserve respect, and he

319
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 6: joked if anyone should be pelted, it's him.

320
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: Did you see that that attack on the cops with

321
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 3: the with the ice balls, if you've ever just heard

322
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: about it, been involved in snowballfy, you can form them

323
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 3: into I kind of snow ice balls that will do

324
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: serious damage. It's not as childish and fun as it

325
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 3: always looks on TV.

326
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you can pack them tight and throw them

327
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 4: hard and you know, break your bone or somebody's.

328
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: There are bloody faces in some of those cops. Yeah,

329
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: that's that's awful.

330
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 4: Well, you have a situation where, for instance, Rashida Talib

331
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 4: wore an f ice pin with the words spelled out

332
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 4: to the State of the Union address last night. That's

333
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: federal law enforcement. That absolutely contributes to people's attitudes toward

334
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 4: law enforcement. Yeah, you know, I just came across a phrase.

335
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 4: It's in my mind. Maybe i'll bring it up here.

336
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 4: I was reading a.

337
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 3: Newsletter that I read every single day from Wide World News,

338
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,239
Speaker 3: written by Mark Alpern, and he had this phrase in there.

339
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 3: He's just talking about how different people saw the speech

340
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 3: last night in different ways, and we'll play more clips

341
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: of it later, as we do with everything now. But

342
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: he said the country's divisions feel not only political but

343
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 3: almost anthropological, and I thought, wow, I have not heard

344
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 3: it put that way, but that is exactly right. It

345
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: feels like some giant like evolutionary cleave has occurred.

346
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 4: That's such an interesting way to put it. Yeah, Thomas Sowell,

347
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 4: I think, is nodding his head in agreement. The the

348
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 4: gulf between the two sorts of people read a conflict

349
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 4: of visions has become enormous, and our bonds of friendship

350
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 4: and brotherhood, to paraphrase Lincoln, have like been frayed. So

351
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 4: we don't have the Yeah, I think he's I think

352
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 4: he's crazy about some stuff. But he's my fellow American,

353
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 4: he's my fellow California and Illinois and whatever. He's a

354
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 4: member of my church, he's my brother in law, whatever.

355
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 4: So that's it's fine. It's that's much more important than

356
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: our differences. We've also lost that, so we've been able

357
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 4: to drift, like emotionally much farther apart than me we

358
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 4: ever have.

359
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the whole you know you will not date

360
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: someone who voted for the other person for president, thing

361
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: which is brand new, I think, certainly in modern history.

362
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 4: And just seems absurd to those of us who don't

363
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 4: think that way. On the other hand, I'm not a

364
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 4: twenty five year old guy, and every woman I have

365
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 4: coffee with is like a foaming mouthed f ice f Trump,

366
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 4: radical gender theoriespounding lunatic.

367
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 3: I might just think, I'm not going down that road. Again, Well,

368
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: it doesn't take two to tango. It takes one to tango.

369
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 3: If you've got one person in the pair that is

370
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 3: of the I won't tolerate anything other than my point

371
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: of view, it doesn't work.

372
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 4: Well. Yeah, in fact, I'm sorry I went too far.

373
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 4: I overproved the case. If you will become aware, as

374
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 4: a moderate to conservative male that the only acceptable stances

375
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 4: for your progressive women is to agree with them, you

376
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 4: just would never go there. You'd think, okay, fair, fair enough,

377
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 4: all right, you've you've you've made yourself sclare almost nobody.

378
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: I'm watching Senator John Fetterman's on Fox this morning in

379
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: his sweatshirt, and I know he hated the fact that

380
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: Democrats didn't show up and where some were behaving badly.

381
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: But outside of him, there's just there's just not a

382
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,239
Speaker 3: lot of voices saying, what's what's the endgame of this?

383
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 4: If we just keep.

384
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 3: Going further of now we don't show up, Now more

385
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 3: of you don't show up. So okay, we've lost this

386
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 3: common thing. We just keep losing more common things. We're

387
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 3: all just talking to you where everybody's preaching to the choir?

388
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 4: What do you see the endgame as? So this is uh,

389
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 4: you're right, yeah, that's a great rhetorical question. This this

390
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 4: is not an original thought, and it's been run up

391
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 4: the flagpole kind of once or twice. But the Unity Ticket,

392
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 4: the Marco Rubio and Josh Shapiro, the all Oh ticket,

393
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: like a moderate Republican although Mark is certainly hawkish on defense,

394
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 4: and a moderate Democrat Unity ticket. Would America respond with, oh,

395
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: thank god? There was a brief chance of that in

396
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: eight Is that when McCain and momentum, that's right, McCain

397
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 4: and uh, well they were a Lieberman right, Well, there

398
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 4: was top prior to that, McCain and Carrie running together

399
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 4: at one point. Which cycle was that?

400
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 3: And that was a behind the scenes thing that never

401
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: made it into the public, but they it was kind

402
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 3: of got discussed, and I forget which one of them

403
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: shot it down. I think Harry. But they recognized at

404
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: that point where we were, and maybe maybe we should

405
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 3: try what you're talking about, some sure unity ticket, which

406
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 3: might have been a good idea.

407
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 4: I don't know.

408
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 3: I would like to see how that would play out.

409
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 3: Would you just get destroyed by first of all, the

410
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 3: two parties have so much interest in making sure no

411
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 3: third party ever gets a sniff of anything, correct, So

412
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: that that way that would help the duopoly though, or

413
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 3: would that hurt it? I think it might help it. Boy,

414
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 3: it what an interesting thought experiment. I got to think

415
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 3: about it for a while. My mine's moving best slowly.

416
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: I was up way too late last night.

417
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 4: Speaking of electoral politics, Jack, we've buried the lead. Congratulations

418
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 4: to the winner of a landslide victory. Editorials in his

419
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 4: capital's newspaper called him, quote the greatest person in the world.

420
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 4: Well done, Kim Jong Kim Jong un, who has won

421
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: re election in North Korea. Wow.

422
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: I don't think I knew that he has the fake elections.

423
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 3: A lot of your dictators do, but I didn't know

424
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: he actually went through the whole election process.

425
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 4: It's not a super frequent thing. I think he just

426
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 4: does it when he wants to watch people dances to

427
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 4: that particular too.

428
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 3: But do they actually have polls and people go out

429
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: and vote and stuff, or does he just announce that

430
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 3: there was an election or I'm not one hundred I

431
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: don't know what the mechanics of it are.

432
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 4: They actually have an a and people go out and vote.

433
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: But this is actually some pretty amusing writing by Tim

434
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 4: Martin in The Wall Street Journal. It was a lateral

435
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 4: move for Kim Jong un, merely retaining his top spot

436
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 4: atop North Korea's ruling Workers Party, but the appointment won

437
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 4: lavish praise in the regime's largest newspaper on Wednesday. His

438
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 4: re election as party general secretary finalized this week at

439
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 4: a rare political gathering resulted from Kim. Oh. I guess

440
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 4: it was like a congress got together. It resulted from

441
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 4: Kim spear heading quote unimaginable achievements, according to the editorial,

442
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 4: in five years that would take other centuries to accomplish.

443
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 4: According to an editorial in North Korea's Rodong Sinmun, which

444
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 4: I read every day. If you don't read the Rodong Sinmun. Jack,

445
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 4: you don't know what's going on in the world. North

446
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: Korea under Kim's rule reached quote absolute military power at

447
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 4: the highest level, the editorial read. The forty two year

448
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 4: old dictator was also credited with having performed three miracles,

449
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 4: personally overseeing the rescue. Yeah, so like becoming a saint.

450
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 4: Maybe canonization it's in the air, Jack, it's in the air.

451
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 4: He personally oversee the rescue of oversaw the rescue of

452
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 4: citizens from a major flood, reviving that hard hit area,

453
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 4: completing work on a modern greenhouse farm. Dear respected Comrade

454
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 4: Kim Jong un is the greatest person in the world.

455
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 4: The editorial red actually said that by Barry Wise, it

456
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 4: probably reminds you of working at the New York Times. Wow,

457
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: the greatest person in the world.

458
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I might say, could we tone that down

459
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 3: just slightly.

460
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 4: I don't know, it seems a little showy. Tone it down.

461
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 4: Oh man, you're gonna be eaten by dogs by sunset.

462
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 4: The reinstatement of Kim as General Secretary brought bought, brought

463
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 4: boundless joy it quote guard posts, workplaces, and home windows.

464
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 4: The editorial read, our future is infinitely bright and promising.

465
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: As people fight to the death over colonels of corn

466
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 3: because they're starving all over the country.

467
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, they do mention the nation's widespread malnutrition, poverty, and

468
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 4: human rights abuses. Yes, plus and this is interesting. This

469
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 4: is interesting too. It's getting tougher and tougher to indoctrinate

470
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 4: young North Koreans because there's more and more illicit foreign

471
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 4: media filtering its way into the country.

472
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting because I was going to say, for

473
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 3: a lot of those people, like in the Congress, they

474
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 3: grew up in North Korea.

475
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 4: I don't know how.

476
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 3: How crazy they know that that is, because since they've

477
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 3: grown up there and they've been told that their whole lives,

478
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how nutty they perceive that to be.

479
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 4: Another really good question, and I, interestingly enough came across

480
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 4: something that I think tends to answer it. And this

481
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 4: gets back to a couple of things we've talked about

482
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 4: a number of times. Number One, the first thing that's

483
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 4: implanted in your head wants to stick. Somebody teaches you

484
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 4: a word is pronounced in one way, and then they

485
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 4: come back twenty minutes later and say I was I

486
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 4: was wrong. I was wrong. The word is pronounced this way,

487
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 4: you will stick to the first one for reasons of

488
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 4: neurological science that I can't comprehend. Second thing is, and

489
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: we all know this, You've got to indoctrinate the children.

490
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 4: That's why the neomarxists moved from the factory floors to

491
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 4: our nation's schools and are indoctrinating your kids into radical

492
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 4: gender theory and hating white people and the rest of it.

493
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 4: They've been horrifically successful in perverting the minds of the young,

494
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 4: which brings me to the interesting thing I read. It

495
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 4: was a North Korean defector who said it was unbelievably

496
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 4: hard to get adoration for I think it was Kim

497
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 4: Jong un out of his head. He said, even rationally,

498
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 4: I see what the West is, and I see how

499
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: horrible North Korea was, but I still have to work

500
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 4: to get it out of my brain. Yeah, I've heard that,

501
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 4: which I found so interesting.

502
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 3: I've read about that over the years with Hitler or

503
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 3: Stalin or all kinds of different people, that it's really

504
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: hard to let go of that even when you intellectually

505
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 3: know it's crazy.

506
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 4: It's like falling out of love when I mean, you

507
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 4: know she's moved on it's over, and you've got to

508
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 4: practically like powerwash your brain to get those pathways rerouted.

509
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 4: So it is with dictators and radical politics. Well, congratulations

510
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 4: to Kim being reelected. I guess Seth Meyers had a

511
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: joke about this.

512
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 7: North Korean leader Kim Jong unn was reelected yesterday as

513
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 7: the head of the ruling political party. I think because

514
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 7: he got out and really talked to the people, unlike

515
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 7: his opponent who never left his grave.

516
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 4: Wow.

517
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 3: But so when they announce in that congress he's won,

518
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: everybody he's not.

519
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 4: We're whelming victory and he is not.

520
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: And we declared him the greatest person in the world,

521
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: and everybody just cheers, and nobody even you don't even

522
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: dare look sideways at the person next to you, like,

523
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 3: can you believe this?

524
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 4: Because he ain't get fed to dogs. I read a

525
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: story the other day, one from North Korea, one from

526
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 4: the Soviet Union where the security forces were watching and

527
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 4: gathering like that and figured out who stopped clapping first. Oh,

528
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 4: and put him to death. Wow to death? Wow? Yeah woo.

529
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 4: That's rough.

530
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: So what'll play some more clips from last night's State

531
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: of the Union address about a variety of topics an

532
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 3: hour two. We've got mailbag on the way next to here. Okay,

533
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 3: I just read the whole thing about Bill Gates apologizing

534
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: to Gates Foundation employees yesterday and about the affairs.

535
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 4: We got to talk about that later. That's an interesting story.

536
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 4: But first of freedom loving quote of the day, I

537
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 4: have switched dovetailing with our discussion of North Korea to

538
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 4: this fabulous quote from Barbara Demick, who wrote Nothing to Envy,

539
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 4: Ordinary Lives in North Korea. She's got to be a

540
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 4: fascinating book, she says, and I quote North Korean defectors

541
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 4: often find it hard to settle down. It's not easy

542
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: for somebody who's escaped to totalitarian country to live in

543
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: the free world. Defectors have to rediscover who they are

544
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 4: in the world that offers endless possibilities. Choosing where to live,

545
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: what to do, even which clothes to put on in

546
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 4: the morning is tough enough for those of us accustomed

547
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: to making choices. It can be utterly paralyzing for people

548
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: who've made decisions, who've had decisions made for them by

549
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 4: the state for their entire lives. That's really something. It

550
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: really is the way you can twist human minds is amazing.

551
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 4: Mail bag Trompson note mail bag at Armstrong e Getty

552
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: dot com is the email address mail bag at Armstrong

553
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: getty dot com. Sue b Right this speech. I thought

554
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 4: this speech was great? Why are you so judgmental about it?

555
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 4: Here was wonderfully, Here's wonderful, especially pointing out the Dems

556
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 4: are crazy? What was I judgmental about? Other than the length?

557
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 4: I can't imagine if we're not worshipful enough. Apologies Bob

558
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 4: from Cammel Rights. State of the Union best show ever. Gentlemen,

559
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: we watched the entire presidential production in my lifetime. I'm

560
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 4: sixty two, probably the best over ever. I usually can't

561
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 4: stand watching these things, but Trump entertained for almost two hours.

562
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 4: The event flew by as we laughed, fell proud of

563
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 4: the Americans, and cheered as he hammered the Dems over

564
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 4: and over.

565
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the pacing, because Trump is an entertainer. The talk

566
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 3: for a while, introduce a guest, and almost all of

567
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: them are really interesting war heroes.

568
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 4: And all kinds of stuff like that. Talk for a while,

569
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 4: introduce a guest. That was a good idea, so interestingly,

570
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 4: my freedom loving quote of the day was going to

571
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 4: be from Friedrich Engels about centrally planned economies and absolute

572
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 4: proof that there's some ideas so idiotically an intellectual could

573
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 4: hold them. And on that topic, Jeff from North Carolina

574
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 4: sends along a picture from Trier, Germany. He says, I

575
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 4: was originally in Truer, Germany, Germany, came across a statue

576
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 4: of Carl Marx. At this point, I was completely unaware

577
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 4: I was in his birth town not too far away.

578
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 4: There's a gift shop with tons of Carl Marx's merchandise. Lol,

579
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 4: Carl Mark swag. Oh my gosh, what percentage of that

580
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 4: is bought ironically and what percent sincerely by college miseducated idiots.

581
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, I would absolutely buy a

582
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 3: pin or a magnet or whatever.

583
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 4: If they have, like Riley sarcastic Marx t shirts, I

584
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 4: would have to have one of those. I mean, I

585
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 4: am Michael Joe Geddy cold Warring exactly. I mean, come on,

586
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 4: I have to buy one of those shirts. Getting back

587
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 4: to the whoops, I had that out order poll Getty. Yes,

588
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 4: Cold Warrior. There, it is right on time. Trump the topic.

589
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 4: Oh Antonio writes, the truth is obvious. Trump is a

590
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 4: rich man among a sea of money whorese. Can't blame

591
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 4: a whrror. They were born that way. Have a nice day. Wow, Oh,

592
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 4: drop the mind? Not sure I followed that. Drop the keyboard.

593
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 4: That's tough to argue with. How about this from Anthony

594
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 4: about this State of the Union address. Never before has

595
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 4: such a scoundrel tried so hard to bask in the

596
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 4: achievements and heroisms of others. It wasn't a speech, it

597
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 4: was stolen valor. Okay. Wow. Then this in contrast from Aaron.

598
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 4: He sent along a video from Twitter of Rashida Talib

599
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 4: what's her name? Ilhan Omar and a couple of other

600
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 4: characters from the Democrats who were all seated together. Hilarious.

601
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 4: They placed the jihadi, the pirate, and the tranny in

602
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 4: one place so they could shout together like vitriolic savages.

603
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 4: I don't know about the term tranny. Wow. Which one's

604
00:33:54,480 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 4: the pirate? The Somali pirate? I get it? Oh, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, No, No,

605
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 4: do better? Be better? Does anybody know what she was shouting?

606
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 4: Have you heard that? Well?

607
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 3: I watched the video there shouting by I couldn't tell

608
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 3: what she was saying, though.

609
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 4: You should be ashamed you killed Americans and something else. Okay,

610
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 4: but I tell you what, it was not performative. They

611
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 4: were wild eyed with hate. Right, yeah, perhaps getting Trump

612
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 4: will be their jihat. Moving along, boy Z dog, you

613
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 4: shows that word accidentally, what z dog rights? Dear JACKI

614
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 4: and Joe am I the only one who thinks the

615
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 4: USA gold medal hockey goalie Connor Hellibuck should be having

616
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 4: as many progenies as possible. With the USA Olympic women's

617
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 4: gold medal hockey team starting in twenty forty six, the

618
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 4: US teams would be unstoppable. Thank you for your attention

619
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 4: to this matter. Well, I don't think we have forced

620
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 4: Olympic breeding programs in this Chinese dog, but like China,
