Nothing. 176 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: He's one of the most consistent human beings I've ever observed. 177 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: What is up with Trump? 178 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: Well, George Bush made the same mistakes, so did Barack Obama. 179 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: Sending Hillary Clinton there with the reset button. Oh, it's 180 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: just the evil Bush administration. You're a nice guy. We 181 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: can reset relationships. I don't know why these people don't 182 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 3: understand what he is, but maybe Trump does now and 183 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 3: what that means I don't know. 184 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: Well, And that's one of Putin's greatest skills too, is 185 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: to flatter you into thinking that you're buds and oh, finally, 186 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: finally a real leader of leader. I can talk to 187 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: one who understands the world. He he's a genius of that. 188 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: Putin is an evil genius. 189 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: Well, what's his firing on civilians all weekend long in 190 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 3: Ukraine and blowing up buses and schools and actual hospitals, 191 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 3: not fake Hamas hospitals and everything else. 192 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 2: What's what's his game? 193 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: Demoralize the Ukrainians? I guess, although, as a couple of 194 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: different wars have shown us, in particular World War Two, 195 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: this sort of bombing of civilian populations does not reduce 196 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: their resolve. 197 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: It increases it, It hardens it. 198 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: Whether it's the Battle of Britain and the blitz in 199 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: London or the bombing of Dresden. The German people got 200 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: more resolute because of that, we found out, so Germany goes. 201 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: Nobody knows Germany's missiles that they've been supplying Ukraine travel 202 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: over three hundred miles, which is well beyond Moscow. And 203 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: as I said, he announced yesterday no more limitations on 204 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: them where you can shoot those things, and they're going 205 00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: to send a whole bunch more of them. 206 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 3: So this could be a major turning point in this 207 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 3: this conflict. Where is Trump? That's well, you know, I 208 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 3: don't forget, which analystized reading yesterday the balls and Trump's court, 209 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 3: it absolutely is. Is he going to say, which they 210 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 3: hinted at last week, that's it, you guys don't want peace, 211 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: I'm out no more, and we back off and just 212 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 3: get out of it, which would be a win for 213 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 3: Russia or huge US. Or does he take this personally, 214 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: which I'm hoping he does personally, because that's the angle 215 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 3: I'm coming from. I hope he takes it personally, that 216 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: that Russia's treating him like a punk, putin specifically treating 217 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 3: him like a punk. 218 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: I find it kind of scary that he's got a 219 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: quote unquote ticket personally, but I think you're one hundred 220 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: percent right. We'll see that there's no way to run 221 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: America's foreign policy. 222 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: But so we got some headlines on the way, we 223 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: got some mail bag, we got some other news of 224 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 3: the day, and there's lots of it because we are 225 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 3: off for four entire days. 226 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 2: Yes, and it was fantastic, mostly clarious.

We have 314 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: not talked about this at length. It's about the television show, 315 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: the Netflix show Adolescence, and the headline from the Hill 316 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: is toxic online content is poisoning boys minds.

Trump delayed his 331 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: unexpected threat to impose a fifty percent tariff on the 332 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: European Union, pushing this decision back by a month after 333 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: announcing it Friday, and so the stock market went back 334 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: up again. Blah blah blahs were not going to hammer 335 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: Europe with tariffs. But I read an explanation of it. 336 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: It is so frustrating dealing with the EU because and 337 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: if you're old enough to remember this, this was the 338 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: criticism from the start. 339 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: It's kind of a unit, the EU. 340 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: It's kind of one thing, but it's actually a bunch 341 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: of different countries with a bunch of different priorities and languages, 342 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: and some of. 343 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: Them don't like each other very much. 344 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: And so you're trying to negotiate quote unquote with the EU, 345 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: but their negotiators always have to say, I gotta go 346 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: back because Germany and Frans don't agree on this, so 347 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: I'll get back to you. And negotiating with him is 348 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: just it's incredibly frustrating. 349 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 3: Another headline we have to get to. Not important, but 350 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 3: very fun. If you have a marriage where your wife 351 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 3: physically shoves you around, don't have it caught on video. 352 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 3: Why was French President Macron shoved in the face by 353 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: his wife before they got off on the plane yesterday. 354 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 3: Love that story, and we'll get to that among other 355 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 3: things on the. 356 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: Way Armstrong and Getty. 357 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: We do have a lot to catch up on after 358 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 3: being off for four self indulgent days, including where we 359 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: are on the Big Beautiful Bill, including on where we 360 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 3: are in the Big Beautiful cover up, as that continues 361 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 3: to be a story of hiding Joe Biden throughout his 362 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 3: presidency and the Jake Tapper book and all that sort 363 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 3: of stuff. 364 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 2: There are some new wrinkles there. 365 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: It's funny, mediocre minds think alike. I have been surprised 366 00:17:53,520 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: and gratified at the continued energy around that story. People 367 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: are not content to let it lie and forget about it, 368 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: because I think the more you hear, the more you realize, 369 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, we have a serious sickness in our system, 370 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: our media specifically anyway. 371 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 3: So it's graduation season, and particularly around colleges, it's the 372 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 3: time of the year where self important liberals get invited 373 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 3: to major universities to give speeches, and then the media 374 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 3: covers them like a news event because they're saying the 375 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 3: sort of thing that most of the media agrees with. 376 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: That's what happens. 377 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: Well described there are you know, people who lean right 378 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 3: that go to colleges that lean right. The few that are, 379 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 3: but they never make get a new news coverage, so 380 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 3: you don't hear about them, including the President for instance. 381 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 3: But here Joe mentioned this last week. I've seen this 382 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 3: starting to burble up and get more attention. Where was 383 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: which university? Was he speaking at. 384 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: Wake Forest Wake Force in South Carolina, Carolina? 385 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 3: I thought Weak Force was South Carolina and not unless 386 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: it's moved, Okay, it doesn't really matter. It's you know, 387 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 3: it's it's your your, it's your major figure of the 388 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 3: left giving a lefty speech. 389 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 2: But he went over the top. 390 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 3: And one of the reasons it's so remarkable is he's 391 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 3: on one of the most important news programs in the world, 392 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 3: Sixty Minutes, which allegedly is trying to be you know, 393 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 3: a nonpartisan, hit it down the middle sort of coverage. 394 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: Or at the very least fair, just be fair. And 395 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: a guy with this point of view can't be doing that. 396 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: This is Scott Pelley speaking to college graduates. 397 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 5: Power can rewrite history with grotesque false narratives. They can 398 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 5: make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change the 399 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 5: death of n of the words we use to describe reality. 400 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 5: Diversity is now described as illegal, equity is to be shunned, 401 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 5: Inclusion is. 402 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 2: A dirty word. This is an old playbook, my friends. 403 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 2: There's nothing new in this. We have another clip that 404 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 2: I'm tempted to play. 405 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: It's all about the fear, be very afraid, We're all 406 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: in grave danger. Goes on and on, But that one 407 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: really caught my ear because he claimed that the center 408 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: and the right are trying to change the definitions of words, 409 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: or say that they're no longer acceptable. Diversity, equity, and inclusion, 410 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: which we all know exactly what they mean, and we 411 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: all know they're wonderful. Those sickos on the right are 412 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: trying to change what they mean, which is just unbelievable. Diversity, equity, 413 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: and inclusion coming out of the mouths of a leftists 414 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 1: mean nothing like you think they mean. 415 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 2: It is a tool of capturing institutions, right man. 416 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: The left is so good at this game, and they 417 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 3: get to pull it off with the help of the 418 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 3: compliant media. It's like what I was listening to an 419 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 3: NPR today. They were discussing how Trump is trying to 420 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 3: change the way we teach history in America. And all 421 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 3: the things he's attacking. Well, you put it in there. 422 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 3: What do the allages within the last ten years, what 423 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 3: they teach in schools is not the same as what 424 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 3: they taught in schools when I was a kid. 425 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 2: You put stuff in there that a lot of us 426 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: don't like. 427 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 3: When Trump tries to take it out, that's not rewriting history. 428 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 3: You rewrote history. He's trying to write it back to 429 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 3: what it was before. UH sixty minutes anchor Scott Pelly 430 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 3: ripped for angry unhinged commencement speech criticizing Trump. Now that's 431 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 3: the New York Post's headline on that their version. 432 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 2: Of it, but angry and unhinged is not far off. 433 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 3: He said that the UH we should all be worried 434 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 3: about the insidious sphere that has infiltrated schools, businesses, and 435 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 3: homes across the nation, leaving America in a state of peril. 436 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 3: The country needs you. The country that has given you 437 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 3: so much is calling you. The class of twenty twenty five. 438 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 3: Country needs you, and it needs you today the morning 439 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 3: our sacred rule of law. This morning, our sacred rule 440 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 3: of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities 441 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 3: are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and 442 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 3: insidious fear is reaching throughout the schools and into our 443 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 3: private thoughts. 444 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: All right, boy, that is just absolutely classic. You spend 445 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: all of your time and your career convincing people they 446 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: need to be terrified when there's like two thirds of 447 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: the country that's not at all, I mean, from mildly 448 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: concerned to very interested. 449 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 2: But no, we're not. 450 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: Being torn apart by insidious fear at all, Scott. 451 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 3: And the part right before that little clip about power 452 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 3: that we just played you the fear to speak in America. 453 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: If our government is, in Lincoln's phrase, of the people, 454 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 3: by the people, for the people, then. 455 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 2: Why are we afraid to speak? What the effort you 456 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 2: talk about? Don't know? 457 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: I assume he's referencing that Columbia student that got snatched 458 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 3: up on the campus and that you. 459 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: Were literally speaking about how you're afraid to speak. Do 460 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: you see the irony there, Scott? Do I see the 461 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: irony there? 462 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 2: Oh? 463 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 3: Now, the New York Post says the speech was received 464 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 3: with scattered, scant applause. 465 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 2: That's the New York Post version. I don't know. I 466 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 2: haven't actually listened. They might say that, and that might 467 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: be true. 468 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 3: Or it may be true, and it might be because 469 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 3: everybody's barely paying attention and they just want to get 470 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 3: out of there on. 471 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 2: A hot day. 472 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 3: How long is this going to last? As opposed to 473 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 3: not enjoying what he had to say, but that that is, 474 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 3: that is that is just craziness. It is just craziness. 475 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the It reminds me so much of 476 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 2: when Komy. 477 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: Braefed the president, so then he could liake that leak 478 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: that the president has. 479 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 2: Been briefed on this Stele dossier. 480 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: Well, so Scott Pelley and his brethren preached being terrified 481 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: and in fear all the time, and then he goes 482 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: to the graduation ceremony and breathlessly reports and. 483 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 2: Everybody's really afraid. There's fear, in citious fear going on. 484 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder where that in citious fear came from. 485 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: It's the roughly third of the country that listens to 486 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: you and beliefs your crap. Don't terrify them. Then report 487 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: that they're terrified and act as if somebody else did it. 488 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 3: Well, and as he stands up in front of a 489 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 3: bunch of university kids and said, now is the moment 490 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 3: your nation is calling on you with all the fear 491 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 3: to speak out. Yeah, the fear to speak out for 492 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 3: the past quite a while has been from anybody to 493 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 3: the right on any college campus because you'll be a 494 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 3: physically attacked and the university will do nothing about it. 495 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: As long as you as long as you speak progressive stuff, 496 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 3: you're safe.

I appreciate what we 671 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: do also, Yes, well done. Moving along the frequent correspondent 672 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: honorary co host of the show, at least during mailbag, 673 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: JT and livermore similar to how only Nixon could go 674 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: to China. Our country will never address our debt and 675 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: deficit problems until the left is willing to legitimately participate 676 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: and lead the way. Only the left can go to 677 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: fiscal sanity. The right share as hell isn't, which we'll 678 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: talk about more later. 679 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 2: But the reason is simple. 680 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: It's just too easy for the left to demagogue every 681 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: effort by Republicans to reign in spending. For decades, social 682 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: security was the third rail upon politics. Remember not too 683 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: many years ago, the GOP threw in the towel and 684 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: yelled vociferously and vehemently against accusations by the left that 685 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: the GOP were going to cut entitlements. I remember that 686 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: during the State of the Union, you drew great attention 687 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,439 Speaker 1: to that turning point in American history at the time. 688 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, perspective, as Kevin. 689 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 3: McCarthy said, whoaha, whoa, whoah, how dare you claim we're 690 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 3: going to cut entitlements? 691 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 2: Whoa Yeah. 692 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: More recently, with Doge flagging billions of dollars of waste 693 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: fraud and abuse, the left took the side of waste 694 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. Any effort by Trump and the GOP 695 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: to cut the waste frauden abuse of being met with 696 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: in Medicare louder voices about how healthcare is going to 697 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,280 Speaker 1: be taken away from millions of poor Americans. By contrast, 698 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 1: when a Democrat was willing to reform welfare, it was done. 699 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:51,760 Speaker 3: That is probably true the Nixon China references. Nixon, because 700 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 3: he had built decades of credibility as an anti communist, 701 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 3: could go to China and you didn't have to worry nobody. 702 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 2: He had to worry that he was, you know, soft 703 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 2: on communism. 704 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 3: If the Democrats stood up and said we are spending 705 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 3: too much, that would get everybody's attention. 706 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: Demagoguing cuts to entitlements or even legitimate cuts to waste, fraud, 707 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: and abuse that nobody could defend is just too powerful, 708 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: too easy, and too effective for the right to overcome. 709 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about the excellent point, big beautiful build. 710 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 3: It's on its way to the Senate. Coming up a 711 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 3: little bit later. The horrendous, hateful, horror. 712 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 2: Oh my god, there's the cheese rolling video again. How 713 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 2: did that guy not break his neck? 714 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 3: It's just luck, It's just look, you can't land on 715 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 3: your neck that many times. 716 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 2: He's just not be paralyzed. They carried him off he's 717 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 2: got the cheese in his hands, but they carried him off. 718 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: Normally this might not make their grade. But this note 719 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: from Dennis and Lincoln has to do with eating chicken, 720 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: which we were just discussing. 721 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 2: June issue of. 722 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: The Atlantic has a very interesting article titled How the 723 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,800 Speaker 1: Chicken Sandwich Conquered America I thought you would enjoy. For example, 724 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 1: in the last five years, chicken sandwich consumption increased by 725 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: twenty percent, while burger consumption dropped by three percent. 726 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 2: Kidding or indicative. 727 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: Over that same period, twenty eight hundred fast food or 728 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: fast casual spots devoted to chicken opened, twelve hundred burger 729 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: joints closed. Behold the humble Chicken. 730 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 3: I was at Kentucky Fried Chicken on Saturday. Long story, 731 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 3: won't get into it. I didn't eat My son ate. 732 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 3: He ordered chicken tenders, water, no sides, twenty eight dollars. 733 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 3: Twenty eight dollars the Kentucky for chick for the tenders. 734 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 3: I said, are you sure that's right? He said, yeah, 735 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 3: it's expensive to eat here. The guy buying the counter 736 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 3: said he's empty.
