1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty. 4 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by a billionaire a 5 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos, just successfully launched its first orbital rocket into space. 6 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: It was a mission to prove its new Glenn rocket 7 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 2: could reach orbit. Blue Origin hopes to guide the rocket's 8 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: first stage booster safely back to Earth to be refurbished 9 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 2: and used once again, driving down the costs for future launches. 10 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: That is awesome that the technological advances that are being 11 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: made in rocketry and all this sort of stuff coming 12 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: from private sector. The two richest guys in the world 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: are doing the best stuff out there, and they've got 14 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: their egos and financeel incentives to get better and better. 15 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: It's fantastic ahead of Amazon, that's right. I also, I 16 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: think it's just enthusiasm for it. I think exploring the 17 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: universe is an incredibly attractive proposition for these guys, and 18 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad they're into it. Jack one report on the 19 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: Blue Origin rocket though it's going to get back in 20 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: two days, but then we'll be stolen off the launchpad 21 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: by the junkie, the reference to Amazon, and they're back 22 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: back to you. We aren't going to do politics really 23 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: this segment. We're going to do other news. But Joe 24 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Biden last night. The main nut of his speech, the 25 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: important part that will be remembered, I think, is him 26 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: warning about the oligarchy of the rich that are taking 27 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: over this country and blah blah blah tech industrial complex. 28 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: You got the two richest men in the world, Jeff 29 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: Bezos and Elon Musk, doing this whole thing with the rockets, 30 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: which is fantastic, your billionaire on your side. His goal 31 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: was not outer space, rocket technology, anything that could benefit mankind. 32 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: It was getting Marxist DA's into big cities so crime 33 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: can runt rampant. 34 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: You write a short defeting Western defeating Western civilization and 35 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 3: reinstituting Marxism wherever he could. 36 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: There's a real freaking hero, mister person that makes me 37 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: angry anyway, Oh, I can't stand it. This is not politics. 38 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: It does mention a Biden though Hunter Biden two hundred 39 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: of his art works destroyed in the fires. I don't 40 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 1: know if you. Oh, what a loss to the world 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: of ours, he says, valued under it, he says, crank 42 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: out like Tenna Day. Somebody who had two hundred of 43 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: his paintings. Oh, it's the guy who would that guy 44 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: who had loaned him all the money, the weird looking 45 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: guy that loaned hunder all the money. They met at 46 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: a party. Remember that whole dale paid off his taxes. 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: That guy's house burnt down. He lived in the Pacific Palisades, 48 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: and he had two hundred of Hunter's paintings. Again, you 49 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: bought Hunter's paintings, why just because you loved his art? 50 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: Any who? 51 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: Well, and he had him at praised at like half 52 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: a million each or something ridiculous. 53 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, millions of dollars. He says, Can you do that? 54 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: If I have a fire, can I say, oh, my 55 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: string art, my string art worth millions of dollars. I 56 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: was going to sell it, and I never got around 57 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: to it. But I was making birdhouses worth two hundred 58 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars each. You can try, yeah, please. 59 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 3: Speaking of leadership, this is getting so little attention because 60 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 3: of our domestic politics in the US. But South Korea 61 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 3: finally arrested their president, which is not gonna a thousand 62 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: police officers whoa I. 63 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: Didn't hear that. Yeah. 64 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: So, as we mentioned to you last week, I think 65 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: was they went to arrest the guy for his declaring 66 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 3: martial law and the rest of it, and of course 67 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 3: the president and his folks are saying this is unconstitutional. 68 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: The court was not did not have the jurisdiction, blah 69 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 3: blah blah. What I know about South Korean jurisprudence will not. 70 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: Take long delayout. Okay, who knows which side is right? 71 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: But so they went to arrest the guy, and he 72 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: had one hundred of security personnel and like city buses 73 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: ringing his presidential compound like in a siege, Like he 74 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: built himself a castle, and. 75 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: He's like, come and get me. You never get me alive. 76 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 3: But they didn't fight, right right, They after hours of negotiation, 77 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: the authorities backed off. 78 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: That's the key to these things throughout history, going back 79 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: as old as time Shakespeare. It's all about will your 80 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: guys fire on countrymen to protect you or not? And 81 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. That's what the 82 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: book I'm reading about Paris Napoleon the Third he told 83 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: his guys, when everybody was coming after him, fire on him. 84 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: And they're like, nah, we ain't going to shoot a 85 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,799 Speaker 1: bunch of other frenchmen. You gotta go, and he left. 86 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: That's what happened with this guy in South Korea. 87 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: So the second attempt to arrest the president unfolded differently, 88 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 3: unlike the rushed initial try. Special investigators spent days planning 89 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 3: with police. 90 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: Youw and that's the president. 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: His security forces out numbered them last time, but when 92 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: just three investigators could deliver the arrest warrant, but before 93 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 3: dawn on Wednesday, some eleven hundred police and investigators turned up, 94 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: nearly triple the number of UN security personnel. So it's 95 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 3: just physical bulk, and we outnumber you, and we will 96 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,559 Speaker 3: whoop up on you. No secret service bodyguards actively blocked 97 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 3: the arrest. No physical confrontations occurred. Instead, dozens of Yun's 98 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: ruling party lawmakers and officials blocked the entrance. Thousands of 99 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 3: protesters protested as protesters will. After about six hours, he 100 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: finally acquiesced if you're super committed to the guy, you 101 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: might take on those odds. I mean, we've seen that before, 102 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 3: people going down to the last to fight for their person, 103 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: but not in this case. They weren't like, I'm not 104 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 3: going to die for you, dude, well right, and they're 105 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 3: making the point, and it's worth mentioning. South Korea one 106 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 3: of our closest allies in the region, a really important 107 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: bulwark against China and totalitarianism. Perhaps you've heard of their 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 3: northern neighbor, fat head Kim Jong lun. 109 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: There is a real country. 110 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 3: I was going to say, they have a functioning democracy 111 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: just since the eighties, so it's still a little new 112 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 3: and shaky. But he you and his people slammed the 113 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: arrest warrant is lacking legal merit. They will fight it, 114 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 3: et cetera. Let's just hope they can. They can shake 115 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 3: this out because I mean, this is used that everybody. 116 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 3: Every time the Trump, you know, is rude to a waiter, 117 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 3: everybody calls it a constitutional crisis. That in South Korea 118 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: is a constitutional crisis. 119 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: On what an underreported crazy story that is? I know it? 120 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, speaking of Trump, one more real quick and 121 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 3: then Jack, I'm sure you have more to talk about. 122 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 3: Did you hear Milania Trump's documentary deal with Amazon? 123 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: I did not? You give Jeff Bezos. 124 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: Beware the tech kids USh real complex. Anyway, Former and 125 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: future First Lady Milania Trump inked an eye popping forty 126 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 3: million dollar deal with Amazon to license a documentary on 127 00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 3: her life, which included in the contract apparently cameos from 128 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: Donald J and the towering young Baron Trump. The documentary 129 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: is going to be directed by Brett Rattner, who you 130 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 3: might know from directing Rush Hour, among other things, set 131 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: to be released later this year, with one source close 132 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: to the agreement suggestion you could spawn multiple projects. Unlike 133 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 3: the Miserable Megan Markele podcast, for instance, or the Barack 134 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 3: and Michelle Obama projects. This one is thought to be 135 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: probably pretty profitable. But forty million bucks. Wow, well, else 136 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: you need. 137 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: Some money, Holly.

The Wall Street Journal with the piece the 174 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: other day that got my attention, The bomb is back. 175 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: At the end of the Cold War, global powers reached 176 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: the consensus that the world would be better off with 177 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: fewer nuclear weapons. That era, according to the Wall Street Journal, 178 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: is now over. Treaties are collapsing, nuclear powers are strengthening 179 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: their arsenals, the risk is growing that nuclear weapons will 180 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: spread more widely, and the use of tactical nukes on 181 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: battlefields is no longer unimaginably and being regularly contemplated. The 182 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: latest estimate is that China has about six hundred INTERCONTINENTA 183 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: ballistic missiles and its arsenal, all of which can reach 184 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: the US mainland, and they're building more as fast as 185 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: they can. So the bomb is back. The fear of 186 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: the bomb is not back, though, for whatever reason, younger 187 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: people didn't grow up with this as a reality, so 188 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: there's no concern. It's concerned that this could actually happen, 189 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: It can actually happen, almost certainly will happen someday, but 190 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: who knows what. Yeah, it was funny. 191 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 3: I had muscle memory in reading that that peace, which 192 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 3: I saw as well. In that, I thought, oh, sweet 193 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: God and nuclear arms race. Then I remembered, Hey, I've 194 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: spent my whole life under that to that shadow. Wait, 195 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: I remember how this goes. You go about your business, 196 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 3: you try to think about something else. I mean, if 197 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 3: you want to talk about it and how it's dangerous 198 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: and awful and the various ways nuclear holocaust might unfold. 199 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: It's absolutely a valid discussion. The only thing you can 200 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: do is vote for people who take this seriously and 201 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: realize it could actually happen. Oh yeah, as opposed to 202 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: people who never talk about it and talk about wind 203 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: farms and crap like that. I almost dropped an S 204 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: bomb go ahead, things that aren't going to destroy mankind. 205 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 3: So finally, and we can expand on this later on 206 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 3: when we have time. I came across a piece written 207 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: by Christian Schneider which dovetailed quite beautifully in a number 208 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 3: of things I've seen recently, including Joe Biden's utterly life 209 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 3: draining speech last night which I took one for the 210 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 3: team and attempted to watch for a lot. 211 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: I did not watch it. That's a first review I've 212 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: heard using the term life draining. It was. 213 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 3: It was seriously, yeah, I'm less alive. I will live 214 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 3: a shorter period of time than I would have had 215 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 3: I passed on the speech entirely. But we can hit 216 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 3: you with some quote unquote highlights of that. But the 217 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 3: point is, and there are signs of this everywhere. Haakim 218 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 3: Jeffries the other day the Republicans are trying to pass 219 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 3: this law that says no dudes in girls sports, no 220 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: dudes in women's sports, no dudes in locker rooms, okay, 221 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 3: which seventy percent of America agrees with strongly. Hakim Jeffries 222 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: the other day said Republicans are trying to pass the 223 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 3: child Predator Availability bill or child old predator. What was 224 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: the word he use, you know, a betting bill, And 225 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 3: everybody's like, what the hell are you talking about? 226 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: Well, I stand by my words. 227 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: So just completely out of step with America. You have 228 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: Wisconsin Democratic Chair Bed Wickler, who's currently running to lead 229 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 3: the Democratic National Committee. He issued a statement on x 230 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: previewing his tenure, we unite our coalition by making sure 231 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 3: everyone's at the table. LGBTQ minus plus of a black, Latino, Native, ethnic, interfaith, youth, disability, 232 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 3: just dripping in wokism, a bunch of other examples everything, 233 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 3: Joe Biden saying the Democratic Party has no idea why 234 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,599 Speaker 3: they lost, which is great. 235 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: News for conservatives. Yeah, fantastic, glad to hear that. Double 236 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: down go further. Make those your lead issues. Oh yeah, 237 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: DEI is the most important thing you can do. Preach it, 238 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: Preach it all the time, and there's no such thing 239 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: as a woman or man. Keep doing it right, love it. 240 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: You get to choose more on the way, stay tuned, 241 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: Armstrong and. 242 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 4: Yetty Well, I'm sure they're hoping for a deal of 243 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 4: some sort or figuring out somethings. They don't have to 244 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 4: shut down, but that's one of their options. And obviously 245 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 4: this whole thing is about leverage and negotiations and the 246 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 4: deal and which of the many things being floated will 247 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 4: be used. There's a lot of things that could happen here. 248 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 4: But the first thing is what the Supreme Court says, 249 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 4: and if they declare the ban constitutional based on national 250 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 4: security grounds, someone has to do something either Apple or 251 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 4: Google or byte dance. 252 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: Maybe one of the I'm sorry, I just jump in. 253 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: I wish people would refer to the ban on Chinese 254 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 3: ownership of TikTok. 255 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: There's a ban on TikTok. Yeah, I was about to say. 256 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: One of the reasons this thing gets complicated is people's 257 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: minds go lots of different directions. And the free speech direction, 258 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party spying on you, stealing information direction, 259 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: the kids wasting time on social media apps direction, or 260 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: you know, just a whole bunch of different and they 261 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: aren't all part of the legal part, but some of 262 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: them are still very, very very important to this point. 263 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: This guy Cal Newport, who I've never read any of 264 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: his stuff. He's written a couple of books. He's an 265 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: anti social media crusader, computer science professor, got a couple 266 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: of books out, Deep Work and Digital Minimalism. Anyway, he 267 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: detailed his experience of joining TikTok in an essay for 268 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: The New Yorker, and this is what he wrote A 269 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: decade ago. I viewed social media as Mannichan. These platforms 270 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: could distract and mislead their users, but they could also 271 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: topple dictators and enable free expression. But much of the 272 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: content on TikTok and on comparable services like Instagram, reels 273 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: and YouTube shorts borders on nihilism. It seems to revel 274 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: in meaninglessness, sometimes even poking fun at the idea that 275 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: a video should be useful. The most popular platforms are 276 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: saying the quiet power out loud that there is no 277 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: deeply meaningful justification for their digital wares, and their users 278 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: seem to understand and accept this new agreement. I found 279 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: that fascinating. There's some sort of I should ask my 280 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: kids about this. There's some sort of like unspoken or 281 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: maybe maybe set out loud agreement among young people. Yeah, 282 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: this is all about the meaninglessness of life. I get it, 283 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: They get it. We all get it. We're all we're 284 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: all participating in just this is all just a waste 285 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: of time. We're perfectly fine with amusing ourselves to death 286 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: because it's all pointless. Is that actually what's happening? 287 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 3: There is a vein of that running through society in 288 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 3: the West. 289 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: There's absolutely no doubt. 290 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: It's reinforced by you know, low birth rates, people not coupling, 291 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: people keeping to themselves. 292 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: It's not a healthy trend. I'll have to think about 293 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: this today. The nihilistic angle to all this in that 294 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: it's just everything is pointless, nothing matters, So why not 295 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: sit here? Who I don't care if the Chinese are stealing, 296 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: nothing matters, Just gonna sit here and scroll through videos 297 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: until it's time to go to bed. 298 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 3: If I am nineteen years old in a college dorm 299 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 3: and stoned, that conversation will take place, and it's okay. 300 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 3: But if you have a person or a generation of 301 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 3: people who don't grow out of that notion and don't 302 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 3: understand a you only get one chance at life, so 303 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 3: by God fill it, live a good one, live an 304 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 3: interesting one. And and you know, when you're old and 305 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 3: you don't have enough money to eat nor medicate yourself, 306 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: you're gonna wish you hadn't sat around scrolling through TikTok. 307 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 3: Those are indisputable truths. And I think, are we getting 308 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 3: shouted down? Are we sure of that this stuff hasn't 309 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: been around long enough? We don't know that there aren't 310 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 3: going to be fifty year olds perfectly happy with the 311 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 3: fact that they spent decades scrolling through TikTok. I would 312 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 3: assume if you're hungry, you'll you'll care, but because they 313 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: live in a socialist society where it doesn't matter, is 314 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 3: that what you're. 315 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: Handing at or yeah, yeah, you'll be, you'll be, You'll 316 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: have some place to live and have some food. I 317 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: don't know if that's true. I hope you're right, but 318 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that we're not going to have people 319 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: that are, you know, decades from now, sixty and seventy, 320 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: who are fine with continuing to just scroll through videos. 321 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 3: Well, if socialism continues to grow, you're right, But I 322 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 3: know people right now who've done well in life and 323 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 3: are looking at old age, and people who have not 324 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 3: done well at life looking at old age, and they 325 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 3: have a very different future from each other. 326 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: I found that fascinating. Much of the content revels in 327 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: its meaninglessness, sometimes even poking fun at the idea that 328 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: a video should be useful. The most popular platforms are 329 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: saying the quiet part out loud that there is no deep, 330 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: deeply meaningful justification for their digital wares, and their users 331 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: seem to understand and accept that agreement. That is troubling. 332 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 1: Yeah it is, I get it. A lot of video well, yeah, 333 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not bullish on humanity. We'll do 334 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: some of the highlights which are worth discussing of Joe 335 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: Biden's speech last night, because he said some crazys they do. 336 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: Highlights are strong and getty. 337 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 5: I want to warrn a country some things that give 338 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 5: me a great concern. This is a dangerous concert, and 339 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 5: that's a dangerous conversation of power in the hands of 340 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 5: very few, ultrawealthy people, the dangerous consequences if their abusive 341 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 5: power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape 342 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 5: in America of extreme wealth, power and influence. That literally 343 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 5: threads our entire democracy are basic rights and freedoms and 344 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 5: a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. 345 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: Okay, man, I don't feel like I'm threatened by an 346 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,959 Speaker 1: oligarchy of the private right. It's one thing know how 347 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: to manage that. It's one thing for MSNBC to act 348 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: like it's a big problem that Elon Musk is at 349 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: mar A Lago so much, But for the sitting President 350 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: of the United States to go on TV in his 351 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: final address and act like this is a major threat. 352 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: We're living under an oligarchy where people can't get ahead anymore. 353 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: First of all, how did you combine those two things. 354 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: So because the Elon Musk's at mar A Lago, and 355 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: once the cut the size of government, people can no 356 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: longer become wealthy. And on what are you even talking about? 357 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: I know, it was just bizarre. 358 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 3: I watched a fair amount of the speech last night 359 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 3: with my jaw agape, not from sinility, but from being astounded. 360 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 3: Yet that was a complete disconnect. And obviously the hypocrisy 361 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 3: is almost hilarious. The tech leaders they could not put 362 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 3: in their pockets during the Biden years. They browbeat into 363 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 3: censoring free speech for them to make sure they could 364 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 3: subjugate the American people into utterly ridiculous and scientifically unsupportable 365 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 3: COVID measures. So, yeah, tech guys can be harnessed for evil. 366 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: We noticed, yeah, on the heels of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan 367 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: interview in which he said Biden people were screaming at 368 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: him when he attempted to put up facts about side 369 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: effects from the vaccine screamed up by the Biden administration. 370 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: So you are giving us a lecture about oligarchs and 371 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: social media and that sort of thing. Also, britt Beher 372 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: pointing out last night the Democrats raised and spent two 373 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: to one dollars on this presidential election two to one 374 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: over the republicantic get dark money out of politics? What again? 375 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? You know, as this is. 376 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 3: His valedictories on the way out. If I thought Joe 377 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 3: Biden had any beliefs, I could believe that maybe he 378 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 3: was like, yeah, we need to get the Democrat money 379 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 3: out of politics too. 380 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: But I don't think he has any actual beliefs. 381 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 3: So I'm just not interested. And so I guess we're 382 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 3: running some of the notable moment. And I refuse to 383 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 3: use the term highlights from the speech just as a 384 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 3: measure of how inept and out of touch Biden and 385 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 3: company are. I don't think any of this is very significant. Honestly, 386 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 3: it's just struck me as sad and pathetic. 387 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: It would have been twenty years ago, as I said earlier, 388 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: I think a president coming out and saying, look, we're 389 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: close to an oligarchy would have been holy crap, this 390 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: needs a national discussion. But now we're into the era 391 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: of people just say crap all the time. 392 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 3: Though, yeah, yeah, I should have taken a picture a photograph. 393 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 3: I saw a graph on I think it was a 394 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 3: special report with Brett beer last night may not have 395 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 3: been about the approval ratings that Biden is leaving office with, 396 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 3: and they are south of every single president from the 397 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 3: polling era except Dick Nixon, and not by much. Nixon. 398 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 3: Does Nixon beat Biden to the bottom and give it 399 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 3: to he is vastly less popular than the guy right 400 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 3: ahead of him that I think may have been George H. W. 401 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: Bush. And as I said last week, I think because 402 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: some people's numbers go up, Harry Truman left with low 403 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: numbers and has gone up throughout history. I think Biden's 404 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: going to go down in retro. I would agree. 405 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, If you're a fan of a horse crap, 406 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 3: you'll enjoy the next clip thirty one Michael. 407 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 5: I'm meekly concerned about the potential rise of a tech 408 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 5: industrial complex. I could pose real dangers for our country 409 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 5: as well. Americans are being buried under an avalanche of 410 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 5: misinformation and disinformation, enabling an abuse the power. The free 411 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 5: press is crumbling. There's a disappearance social media is giving 412 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 5: up on fact checking. The truth is smothered by lies 413 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 5: told for power and for profit. We must hold the 414 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 5: social platform and accountable to protect our children. 415 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: This drives families. I know, I know it made me saying, 416 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: how do you have the ancient shriveled testicles to say 417 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: that on national television? Oh? I know, I would. I'd 418 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: like to know what he knows and what he doesn't 419 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: at his age. I mean, the combination of being bubbled 420 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: the way you are as a president and the fact 421 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: that he's dementia ridden. Does he for instance, his polsters 422 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: would not tell him what his polls look like, which 423 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: is a shocking example of cocooning old Grandpa. Yeah, the 424 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: reason he was going wrong claiming he was winning is 425 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: because that's what people were telling him. Why wouldn't he 426 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: think that? Does he know that Zuckerberg spilled the beans 427 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: on Friday and said the Biden administration was screaming at 428 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: us when we had tried to print anything that went 429 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: against their narrative. So now Joe Biden's gonna come on 430 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: TV a couple of nights later and warn us about 431 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: social media and its ills and how it could mislead 432 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: people in misinformation. Are you kidding me? You wouldn't allow 433 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: actual facts to come out if they didn't match up 434 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: with your version of the truth. You're talking about them 435 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: trying to grab power. I mean that to do that, 436 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: But again I don't think he knows what he's doing. 437 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: I don't think he knows any of this. Either he 438 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: doesn't know or he doesn't know that. 439 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 3: We know that ninety eight percent of fact checking is 440 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 3: simply expressing an opinion, and the last thing it is 441 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 3: is fact checking. 442 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: For instance, and. 443 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 3: The guy who brought us the hunter Biden's laptop is 444 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 3: Russian disinformation and a hundred other lie. 445 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going to pardon the boy. Among other things. 446 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: The idea that you would stand up as some sort 447 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 3: of Jesus of accurate, truthful information and guide us to 448 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 3: the promised Land is well, it's not even funny, it's 449 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 3: just disgusting. 450 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: Your administration called it that time, the biggest social media 451 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: influencer in the world and screamed at them when they 452 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: checked fact if you didn't like the fact, and then 453 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: last night on TV you said they're giving up on 454 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: fact checking. I don't even I don't even where you 455 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: go with this conversation. 456 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was slurry, was mumbly, it was full of 457 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 3: hypocrisy fiction and also, and this kind of pleased me 458 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 3: in a perverse way, full of repeating affection for the 459 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 3: very policies and beliefs that got the Democrats whacked at 460 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 3: the polls. Not hard enough in my opinion, but just 461 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 3: another example of Biden, Harrison company have no idea why 462 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 3: they lost. 463 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if this clip includes the thing I'm 464 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: mostly going to rant about, but it's a good ending. 465 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: Here's how Joe Biden ended in something he said towards 466 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: the end that just drove me nuts. 467 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 5: Thirty four, Michael, after fifty years of public service, here 468 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 5: we go. 469 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: I gave you my word. 470 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,479 Speaker 5: I still believe in the idea for which the nicest 471 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,719 Speaker 5: stands nation were. The strands of institutions and the character 472 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 5: of our people matter and must endure. Now it's your 473 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 5: turn to stanguard. May you all be the keeper of 474 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 5: the flame. May you keep the face I love America? 475 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: You love it too. 476 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 5: God bless you all, make God protect her to Sawty. 477 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: Thank you for this great honor. I thought it was 478 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: a little over the top for him to say, now 479 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: it's your turn to stand guard. As he has been 480 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: the brave man out there keeping America going this last 481 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: half century, and now that he's stepping down, he's laying 482 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: the challenge on us to pick up the mantle of 483 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: the freedom and democracy and all that is good and 484 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: right and honest and march forward. But Joe's heard this 485 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: rent a thousand times. It drives me nuts when these 486 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: guys brag about their life dedicated to public service. Dude, 487 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: you have four houses, you spend most of your time 488 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: living on the beach, You have expensive cars, You and 489 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: your whole family are gazillionaires.

Give me a world in which you didn't 491 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: get into public service, where you would have and your 492 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: family would have ended up as wealthy as you did. 493 00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: Give me a break public service of LLC's laundering your money. 494 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: Oh my god, after fifty years of public me serving 495 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: the public, That's what I was doing.

Yeah? 499 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't fault the guy for taking a shot 500 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 3: at some sort of eloquence that somebody might write down 501 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 3: on his way out. I mean, because he's leaving office 502 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 3: in days and the earth within months. Judging by the Lugger, 503 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 3: this mortal coil soon oh yeah, yeah, But the idea 504 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 3: that the guy who called very minor post COVID electoral 505 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 3: reform in Georgia, Jim Crow on steroids, would lecture me 506 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 3: on how much he loves America and how it's my 507 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 3: turn to stand guard. He's not even worth anger. It's 508 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 3: just pathetic. 509 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 1: Go away. I have a niece who is a actually 510 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: in public service. She's working, she's actually got a high 511 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: paying job now, but she did quite a few years 512 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: with a high degree from a high college and very talented, 513 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: no pay, no glory, helping homeless people sort of think 514 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: that's public service. There are lots of people that do that. 515 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: Lots of you do that. That is, you decided you'd 516 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: rather try to help mankind than go after money. That's 517 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: not what Joe Biden did. Okay, look at his homes. 518 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: Look at him laying there on the beach with his 519 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: eyes closed in front of one of his many homes, 520 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: and the way his son traveled around the world and 521 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: got rich public service. Give me a freaking break. Yeah, 522 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: that is what hilarious? How do you say that? Given 523 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: I would think he'd have more self awareness than that. 524 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: Everybody knows how rich I am now and how rich 525 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: my son is and the lifestyle we've got in the 526 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: LL season. My brother got wealthy. I mean, good lord, 527 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: I probably better leave out the whole public service thing. 528 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got to remind yourself, though, the percentage of 529 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 3: Americans who've never heard on honest accounting of all of 530 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 3: those things you mentioned because of where they get their news. 531 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 3: You mentioned that on NPR and the mainstream media, the 532 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 3: only critical notes sounded about the hostage deal that Israel 533 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 3: and Homastus reached, which will soon fall apart, by the way, 534 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 3: the only notes of skepticism or criticism, or that Benjamin Yahoo, 535 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 3: the war criminal monster, resisted it for so long and 536 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 3: is such a bad guy. I mean, if you took 537 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 3: in those news sources, you would think you were well informed, 538 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 3: but you'd be sadly, sadly misinformed, which again gets back 539 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 3: to Joe Biden worrying about misinformation and its unholy cousin disinformation. 540 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: Please, social media companies are gonna stop fact checking. We 541 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: needn't hold them accountable. Oh my god, you threatened Mark 542 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: Zuckerberg to ruin his business if he didn't print exactly 543 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: what you wanted. Are you kidding? 544 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 3: Don't let anybody say there might be side effects to 545 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 3: the vaccines. Don't let anybody suggest our active duty troops 546 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: don't need the shot. Ban them from your platform, or 547 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 3: we will punish you severely. We will make your life hell. 548 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 3: But misinformation and disinformation shouldn't be allowed. 549 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: Oh my, they've abandon fact checking. Well, he's a scene 550 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: eye old man. Yes he is. 551 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 3: Yes, he's allegedly Kamala Harris's butt hurt that he's going 552 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 3: around saying that he could have beaten Trump because she 553 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 3: finds it hurtful in a suggestion that she is somehow 554 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 3: lesser than him. I just hope they can mend those 555 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 3: fences before he goes to the Great White House in 556 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 3: the sky. 557 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: And the biggest story yet to be written. And maybe 558 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: they you've been predicting that maybe the noon on Monday, 559 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: people start getting book deals and that sort of thing. 560 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: I can't wait. How bad he was he behind the scenes, 561 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: How many new people knew for how long? How many 562 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: people were slapping their heads thinking, Oh my god, I 563 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: can't believe this guy's running agin Oh my god, I 564 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: can't believe this guy thinks he's gonna be president again. 565 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure the details are going to be really 566 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 3: interesting and incredibly troubling. But I don't need much more 567 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 3: than and this has been established. 568 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: I mean, just like not even disputed. 569 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 3: His polsters were not allowed to tell him what the 570 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 3: polls said by his inner circle, his inner circle to say. 571 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: Don't give him any bad news. I mean, that is bizarre. 572 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: It's pretty weird. They wanted to keep their jobs because 573 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: if he wins, they stay employed. That's the problem you 574 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: have with administrations because if they lose, you're out of work. 575 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: You're you're out of work. You have to tell your family. Well, 576 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna put out some resumes. We might 577 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,959 Speaker 1: be moving soon. Yeah, So I guess that's what you do. 578 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: It's not very patriotic. You have any thoughts on any 579 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: of this? Text line four one five two nine five 580 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: KFTC Armstrong ANDETI. 581 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 6: The Southwest Airlines pilot was pulled from the flight deck 582 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 6: of a commercial flight and jailed for driving under the influence. 583 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 6: David Alsup allegedly smelled of alcohol when police in Savannah, 584 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 6: Georgia removed him from the plane shortly before scheduled take 585 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 6: off at six h five a m.

Holy crap. 589 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,959 Speaker 3: It's interesting that Nora O'Donnell there said that he was 590 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 3: arrested for drunken driving just because obviously he'd driven, I 591 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 3: guess to the or just sitting behind the wheel of 592 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 3: the jet, which was the drunken driving getting to the 593 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 3: air corner, sitting there canause most of those guys taken over. 594 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: Unless that's his home on base, I don't know. That 595 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I suppose the fact that he was drunk 596 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: sitting in the cockpit about the pilot the plane at 597 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: six oh five am.
