WEBVTT - The Raccoon Didn't Sleep Well & Needed A Little Bump! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:17.239 and Jetty and he Armstrong and Eddy. 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.639 Was it was it two years ago or last year 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.040 that our clip of the year was Elon Musk saying 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:31.520 things are getting weird and they're getting weird fast. 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:33.400 I think that was thinking those two years ago it 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:37.159 was getting weird. I think getting weird fast. Wow. So 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:38.400 that's been going on for a while. 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.680 We got it like a little handful of AHI Internet 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:43.680 stuff for you here. 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:50.080 That's all, you know, just new world. Where's this taking us? 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.840 Ranges from the intriguing to the inspiring to the horrifying, honestly, 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.560 and here's the important part. It's all speeding down the track, 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.800 completely out of control, and hey with a nobody's really 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:02.520 got a grasp on it. 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:06.000 With a little added dose of you can't stop it. Huh, 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.880 there's no stopping it. We'll start here. 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.880 I guess this is a really interesting story that I 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.760 wanted to share with all of you in our audience. 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.200 It involves the use of AI, and it's a very 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:17.720 unusual use of AI. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.400 So in the case of Christopher Pelke. 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:22.679 He was an Army veteran who was killed in a 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.319 road rage incident in Arizona four years ago. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:26.880 Last week there was a. 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.440 Sentencing hearing for Gabriel for Cassidas, the man convicted of 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.160 killing him in that road rage incident. 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:33.560 Here is the twist. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.720 Pelki's sister came up with the idea of using an 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.560 AI generated video during the hearing to simulate what her 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.479 late brother might have said if he were to address 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.640 his killer in a victim impact statement. This is part 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.800 of the AI video showing a digital recreation of Pelki 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.280 speaking words that his family wrote. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.080 Check it out to Gabriel hor Casidas, the man who 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.240 shot me. Wow, it is a shame way and under 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.960 each other that day, in those circumstances, in another life, 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.960 we probably could have been friends. I believe in forgiveness 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.080 and in God who forgives. I always have and I 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:11.560 still do. 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:13.160 Wow. 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.400 The implications around that, I mean, in just all kinds 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:23.680 of different ways for memorial services, funerals. I wonder if 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:24.840 that's going to become a thing. 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:32.440 Yes, wow, right, I'm sorry. I was already writing mine 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:37.800 in my head as soon as you said memorial services. Yeah, 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.360 that's an intriguing thought I'm scrolling through. Was it actually 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.359 was that actually permitted in the hearing? 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.480 Imagine the power. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.200 And I don't know, legally speaking or just morally speaking 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.800 on the universe to have a killer sit there and 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:00.680 listen to the person and they killed. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.720 Say, hey, wish she hadn't done that. We could have 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:05.320 been friends. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:11.960 Yeah, yeah, wow, Okay, I'm just I'm looking into whether 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.120 the judge permitted it and thinking about it. 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:16.320 Yeah. 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.880 And actually the story which we can post at Armstrong 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.720 and getty dot com of his sister and how she 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.760 went around and talked to so many friends and acquaintances 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:29.280 and then people who had worked with them and then 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.640 compile the video. It's really quite touching and interesting. But 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.000 it was four and a half minutes long. So that's 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:42.120 a combination of confusing and inspiring. Now this story, Katie. 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.480 Yeah, this trend is gross. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.040 Young women are that you know, they're dressed in skimpy 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.080 outfits and they're dancing around. 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.040 They have only fans accounts. 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.280 And they're posting things like does my down syndrome scare 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.640 you off? Or is my down syndrome the reason I'll 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.320 never be someone's first choice? And they're highly sexualized videos. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.520 But the thing going on here is they're using an 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.480 AI filter on their faces to make it look like 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.920 they have down syndrome. Because this is feeding some internet 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.800 cank and people are getting called out on it left 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.320 and right on TikTok, Instagram, all over the place. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.520 This is what it looks like when your soul is dead, 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:29.800 right well right, diseased society, diseased, broken society. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.600 I don't know, you know, it's a small percentage of people, sure, yeah, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:33.880 but the. 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.320 Videos are raunchy, and you know they're all over only 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.839 fans because apparently there's some fetish out there. 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.159 Right right, Yes, now, I agree completely Jack. 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.680 It's not like everybody's doing this or it's some sort 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.680 of national craze obviously, but it's just. 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.719 Gonna catch on. I mean, I don't think it's right. 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.599 You know, you're either this person or not. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.760 And call me paranoid or nuts or whatever if you like, 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:02.760 But the depth of that sort of depravity, to me, 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:11.040 you don't get there without the society at large being 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:15.320 at least halfway there, correct, I mean, if we were 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:20.080 in anything like a society of responsibility and morality or whatever. 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:21.599 And I don't delude myself. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.960 There's been immorality and murder and debauchery and horror for 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.280 the entirety of human history. The fifties was not all 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.560 picket fences and chevies with fins and people trying their 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.200 hardest and loving America. There was plenty of scumbaggery and 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.719 the rest of it. I'm not a fool or a child. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.839 On the other hand, I mean, it's like to think. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:42.720 That deep. 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.440 Feels like society at large has got to be kind 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.840 of deep already, down into the pits of debauchery or 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:51.680 decades or whatever you want to call it. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.560 That's an interesting thing you just said, and I always 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:54.840 think about that too. Is just the. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:05.840 You're right, but there's a certain benefit to pretending is 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.440 the wrong word because pretending is well, maybe pretending is 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.200 the right word. There's a certain benefit to pretending this 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.600 is our culture, this is our standard, this is how 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.719 we're presenting ourselves, and it kind of makes people a 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.520 little bit more try to live up to that standard. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.360 Even if people aren't well. 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:27.440 Principles or norms aren't descriptions of how everybody acts. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.599 There what pople strive for goals exactly. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.280 Yeah, And I feel like so now it's seen as 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:42.600 like really uncool to present a goal of like a decent, hardworking, moral, 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.200 committed family or whatever, because all people aren't like that. 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.279 So you're just presenting a lie as opposed to making 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.560 that kind of the goal everybody should shoot for. And 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.039 let's see how many of us get there. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.640 Here's the interesting question to me, because I've thought about 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.640 this stuff a lot for a very long time. Is 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:07.240 that just kind of the decadence of an affluent board society? 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.200 Or if you look. 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:13.360 At what was the former KGB guy whose interview in 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:18.080 the eighties is so famous as he's describing uri something 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.800 or other, he's describing the psyops operations that Soviet Union 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.880 would do to the United States and various other societies. 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.280 And the point of it is to sow the seeds 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:36.040 of discontent and divorce you from your principles and convince 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.240 people that there is no truth, there is no goodness, 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.280 there is no patriotism, it's stupid, there is. 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.600 No American dream. And I just wonder how much. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.560 Of it is us actually falling for that sort of thing. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.000 I mean, because like the neo Marxists on the campus, 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.200 they want to at the heart of what they're doing. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.440 They want to tear down Western civilization in the name 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.800 of a brave new Marxist future, whether they call it 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:05.120 Marxism or not, it helps explain the bizarro. And it 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:09.440 would be hilarious if it weren't so sick. Alliance between 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:14.080 Islamists who want to tear down Western civilization in the 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.800 name of Sharia law and these these like you know, 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:24.720 boarding school educated college students who want to tear down 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.760 civilization because they feel like a radical and it's exciting, 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.200 and they towed around signs like Queers for Palestine. 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.400 I mean that is on one level hilarious. 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.800 The idea that the Rainbow Coalition is going to join 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.679 with the Alaxa Martyrs Brigade and take down Western civilization. 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.880 I mean I can barely get through that sentence without laughing. Seriously, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:53.640 transgenders for you know, Sharia law, I mean, good god, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.320 you people. But that's what it's all about. It's about 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:58.679 tearing down Western civilization. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.360 I just so's it's a little bit like the whole 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.839 did you know, did Trump cause this or did the 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.679 society demand a Trump? And I think it's way more 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.840 the latter than the former. We you know, we somehow 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.120 and so like this sort of stuff is that way too. 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:19.760 We've had a cultural degradation over decades to where we 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:20.280 got to. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.880 Embarrassed or for whatever reason, it's not. 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.680 Cool to present like like you'd use the example like 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.680 the fifties family. Sure, okay, you know to say it's 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.840 a lie, so it should be mocked. I don't know 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:38.880 how we got there. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:44.960 Dedicating your life to family, community, and God is absolutely 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:46.440 mockable in a lot of circles. 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.960 Absolutely, yeah. And so I've talked about this before. I 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:49.480 really believe this. 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.160 I don't think I've ever heard anybody else say this. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.240 Maybe I should like try to get a PhD And 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:54.320 write a paper or something like that. 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.800 I don't went online. You might as well. Nobody learns 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.000 anything at college's anyway. 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.840 I don't think they call but the cultural demanded the 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.320 big change that happened in the early eighties when I 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.320 was becoming of age person Stern and Letterman they were 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.560 the they were the no more of I mean, it's 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.240 like the difference between Johnny Carson and David Letterman, the 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.880 the you know, kind of looking at the ideal of 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:22.960 the fifties family or whatever, and and and what now 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.720 seems corny was something to aspire to Letterman. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.199 I love Letterman, but. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:33.600 He became a mock everything. Everything's mockable. Stern was the 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.400 same way, and that's when that's when the culture was 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.440 really demanding and no more that we mock everything. Everything 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:44.800 should be laughed at, especially like mom's, dad's kids, love respect, 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.600 Any sort of celibacy or anything like that, all mockable, 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.880 just a joke. People who don't do drugs, joke, joke, 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:58.400 embarrassing those people. I mean that that shift happened around then, 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.400 and we've just continued down that road. 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:01.600 Yeah. 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.160 Yeah, that reminds me of one of my favorite themes, 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:08.720 the difference between skepticism and cynicism. A skeptic looks at 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.839 all the problems around and says, how do we solve this? 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.679 A cynic says it's all crap and it isn't worth solving. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.400 And again, I think Stern Letterman were a reflection of 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:22.840 a degrading society that's wanted that kind of entertainment because 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:23.959 it reflected our mood. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.320 What caused that's to happen, I don't know. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.120 It just might be the natural flow of you know, 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:30.559 affluent societies. 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:32.480 You just get more decadent. 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.719 And then he says, by way of transition, you got 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.079 the neo Marxists who want to empty all the prisons 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.400 and declare that the only reason there's crime is because 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.120 of white supremacy or something. And crime runs rampant on 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.600 the streets, especially in blue states. That's why you need 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:49.560 simply Save home security. The combination of technology and value 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.319 is amazing. Simply say, Active Guard outdoor protection helps prevent 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.720 break ins before they happen with AI powered cameras backed 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.800 by live professional monitoring agents monitoring your property in detecting 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.160 any suspicious activity. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:03.920 I think it's a big deal that they've got a 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.520 sixty day satisfaction guarantee or your money back. Why not 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.720 try simply Safe, no long term contracts and again sixty 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.600 day satisfaction guarantee or your money back. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.000 And instead of the junkie old expensive old systems.

But that's a direction we gone for quite 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:05.360 a while now, and I think now with a I WHOA, 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:07.120 I don't know. 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.120 My snark has been used entirely as a weapon for 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:14.480 goodness and decency.

But I will fight 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.240 on regardless of rewards and accolades. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.400 Maybe I'll write a dissertation nobody will read about that. 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.839 Nobody reads anybody's dissertationed. Welcome to the club. 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:34.880 That's a good point reason I stop here. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.360 You are, you are suspended with a warrant for your arrest, 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:40.880 and the record. 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:45.920 Has her Mes pipe. That's right, her Mes pipe. 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.040 He's playing with a meth pipe right now. There's no 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:50.640 trying to smoke it. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:14:00.840 There's no no all right, had enough fun engage troubled times. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.679 If what do you think this is funny? I have 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.559 a band called Meth Pipe Raccoons. We started practicing six 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:11.760 months ago. Now this happens. I know, now you look 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.480 like idiots. You're living in odd times. 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.160 If a raccoon trying to smoke a junkies meth pipe 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.120 and the cops can't stop laughing, is the funny, funniest 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:20.760 thing that's happened. 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.920 But it is very, very funny, And if you just 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:23.560 wanted to hear. 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.160 It again, if you've seen the video, it almost seems 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.480 like it's gotta be ai. It's a raccoon sitting in 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.880 the front seat of a car smoking meth. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:32.480 Out of a pipe. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.520 That's what the raccoon didn't sleep well last night. It 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.880 needed a little bump. What are you gonna do? So 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.480 moving along, I'm ready to announce a new legal doctrine. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.720 My youngest Delanney, my daughter, just got back from her 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.160 first year of law school. She just finished her second 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:53.600 semester finals and is getting over that trauma. As it is, 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.280 it is something undergrad is pretty fake these days, and 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.800 a lot of graduate degrees are pretty faked these days. 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.080 You go to a good law school, it's not fake. 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.280 You work like a fiend. Anyway. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.800 I would like to announce a new legal doctrine. The 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:13.359 everybody knows that doctrine. Here's the case before US America's 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.680 number two burger chain, this would be Burger King Monarchy, 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:22.760 now must face court overclaims its menu photos exaggerate the 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.560 size of its hamburgers. A federal judge in Miami is 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.920 ruled a Burger King must face a lawsuit alleging its 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.400 ads seriously exaggerated the size of a whopper its signature sandwich. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:36.560 Just like the founding fathers planned it out exactly. 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.120 The suit brought by thirteen nineteen customers across thirteen states, 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.080 claims blah blah blah. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.880 Here's what's gre king, idiots, you signed onto this class 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:47.760 action lawsuit hoping to get some money out of a 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.080 big corporation at. 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.880 Burger As a picture, they will too. But here's where 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.080 my new legal doctrine comes into play. You ask one 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.240 hundred people on the street, a, uh, did you know 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.360 that fast food burghers aren't as big and delicious as 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.600 they look at pictures? And if more than ninety percent 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.840 of them say, yeah, of course I knew that the 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.440 case is tossed out on its ear. 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.560 Did you know that that stripper doesn't actually love you? 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:19.480 Yeah, of course, and everyone knows it. It's the everybody 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:20.600 knows that defense. 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.880 Did you know that the rock band actually said the 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.400 same thing at the concert last night in a different town. 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.280 Did you realize they said last night that nobody rocks 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:30.560 like Cincinnati? 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.480 Yes, of course I do, because they said they said 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.800 nobody rocks like Sacramento one hundred percent defense. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.440 Right, Well, you're running a poorly run tour schedule if 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.200 you're going from Cincinnati to Sacramento. 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.600 But anyway, this is good news. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:51.640 Amidst the madness, Thirty five House Democrats joined Republicans against 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.880 a major climate change policy. 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.200 You know, it's funny if you have a. 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:01.080 Policy, for instance, California is idiotic, pie in the sky, 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:07.160 unrealistic ban on gas powered vehicles that alleges it will 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.720 help with climate change, but there's zero chance it ever. 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.680 Would you still get to call it et climate change policy? 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.840 Isn't that funny? Yeah, it's like you know the old 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.080 Sesame Street to gag. It's an old gag. 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.720 Actually, why are you waving that banana around to keep 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:23.560 elephants away. 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.040 There are no elephants around here. It's working. 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:30.080 So you can claim waving a bananas an anti elephant policy, 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.119 and the New York Times will print that with a 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:32.800 straight face. 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:38.680 I guess anyway, a weight loss policy of eating milkshakes, Yeah, 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.200 there you go. It's a great example. 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.879 So they talked to Luke Corrio, as a Democrat in 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.840 Orange County, California. You joined thirty four other Democrats to 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:51.040 help Republicans repeal the state's landmark requirements that because of 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.760 certain federal laws, was kind of extended to across the country. 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:56.000 We don't have time to explain, but that all new 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.800 vehicles sold in California be electric or otherwise non polluting 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.760 by twenty thirty five, with in ten years. Freaking ridiculous, 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:06.800 But dozens of Democrats said, yeah, yeah, working people are 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.240 telling us we're killing you with these laws. So as 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.800 that the party, we need to stop, and a lot 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:13.600 of them are. 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:17.000 Are strong and getty. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.199 You've said that this weekend is going to be a 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.840 friendly visit, but do you expect that it will just 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:22.240 be a. 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.439 Formality to break the ice, or are they going to 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.760 get into substantive negotiations. 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:30.680 So yes, I believe it's substantive. Yes, I think people 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.000 like to say, yes, we're having a meeting to meet. Well, 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:34.840 we're meeting, so what are we going to do? Talk 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:39.120 about meeting again? So I think it's going to be substantive. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:42.560 I think we're going to say that it's good, very substantive. 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.159 Now China wants to do something, and look they have 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.680 to at this point. You know, essentially they made a 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.959 trillion dollars a year and now they have absolutely, you know, 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:57.240 no business because if the tariffs have no business, and 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:58.960 they want to have business, and we want them to 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.680 have business, we want them to do well, we want 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:02.680 them to do very well. 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:04.720 So I think it's going to be very sebstinate. 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:16.520 I listen to smart people, conservative economists, not you know, 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:22.119 MSNBC hosts, conservative economists pointing out to me and economics 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.600 is not my world, but pointing out to me why 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.520 a lot of what Trump says doesn't make any sense 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:29.720 on the whole. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.600 Is contradictory, self contradictory, right. 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:38.760 And I haven't heard a lot of decent pushback on That's. 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.880 The only thing that makes sense. As I've said before, 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:41.840 and I will stand by this. I've heard, I heard 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:47.480 nothing to make me believe this less. This is Trump's 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:53.679 signature strategic chaos. He is pushing for better, fairer trade 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.840 deals and has no intention of long term use of 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.639 high tariffs. The way he has described it, I love tariff's. 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:05.280 Tariff's the most beautiful word ever. That was all pre 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:06.840 positioning for negotiation. 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:12.880 That that's that could be, that could absolutely be. And 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.359 he's either that or he's lost his mind. And I 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.359 don't think he has, and I don't think Scott Bessant 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:23.320 has no bessen is clearly the guy save in the day, 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.560 and the more I read and the more I listen. 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:29.240 He's the guy that, like uh, Wall Street. 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:30.800 Thinks, okay, we got up, we got we got a 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.760 guy who actually understands what's going in is like winking 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.160 and nodding toward us that it's gonna be okay. That's 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.360 keeping the bottom from falling out. But well, anyway, we'll 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.920 see how everything goes with the meeting with China this weekend. 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.679 Oh, speaking of people who may or may not have 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:50.680 lost their mind, most of us, you know, unhit people 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:53.200 know him as Kanye West. Perhaps you know him as ye, 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:57.720 he's totally lost his freaking mind. As I said earlier, 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.240 he puts the hit back in Hitler. He's got a 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.160 new Hitler oriented single. 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.000 Well, he's got an a show and the songs are 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:14.360 like Hitler, Diddy, Weinstein, World War three, something about the Jews. 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.240 I mean, it's all super controversy. I listened to the 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.480 World War three song of Hitler. I listened to the 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.560 World War three song yesterday. It's only like a minute 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.640 and a half long. He can really throw together a song. 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.479 I mean it was cool. Oh yeah, the words were weird. 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:36.480 Yeah, unbelievably creative guy. Yeah, although he is now profoundly 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:38.720 mentally ill. So that's a problem. So we'll play some 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:41.159 clips in a minute. Speaking of clips, just indulge me 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:43.040 on this. Would you, Michael play forty for me? The 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:44.240 Senator Josh Cawley. 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:46.879 Here's the thing that I think is so hilarious is 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:48.800 that Joe Biden and Buddha Jets and all the rest, 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:50.520 they now act like they have no idea how the 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:53.160 country got into this state. I mean, my gosh, inflation's 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.320 really high. Gee, how did that happen? I don't know. 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.359
