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 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty, 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: I know he Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: The administration says they've reached the framework of an agreement 5 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: that covers fatanol in tariffs and includes a pledge by 6 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 2: China to resume buying American agriculture like soybeans, and to 7 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 2: loosen restrictions on their sale of rare earth minerals critical 8 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 2: for making smartphones and cars. 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a theory about the whole rare earth 10 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 3: minerals thing and what might be we might be doing 11 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 3: in Venezuela. But I'll talk about my wild conspiracy theory later. 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna double down on the soybeans. But you do you. 13 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: Trump is in Asia and he's visiting in all the 14 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: countries you visit over there, ending with China, which is 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 3: of course the biggest relationship for Planet Earth, the relationship 16 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 3: between China and the United States. Here's a little more 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: from Jackie Heinrich, who did Trump called a bad reporter 18 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 3: the other day, didn't like her for some reason. 19 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: Said you're bad at your job because she asks actually 20 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: difficult questions on Fox News. Yeah, anyway, here's her report 21 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: on what happened yesterday. 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're Japan, you're pretty happy with how things 23 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 4: have gone so far. At Japan's first female Prime Minister, 24 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 4: Sanai Takayishi, who just came into office a week ago, 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 4: does not have a long standing relationship with President Trump, 26 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 4: and she was navigating this deal that was arranged by 27 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 4: her predecessor to spend five hundred and fifty billion dollars 28 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 4: in the US that is about a tenth of Japan's economy, 29 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 4: all that on projects chosen by Washington in order to 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 4: avert tariffs that were higher than fifteen percent for a 31 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 4: period of time. It was unclear whether she would uphold 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 4: this deal as it was written by her predecessor, but 33 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 4: she is, of course Shinzo AB's protege, and she sought 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 4: to use that connection to establish a strong relationship with 35 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 4: President Trump. She gifted him one of Abbe's golf clubs 36 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: that he used when they played together in twenty seventeen, 37 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 4: and that set the tone. Things really took off from there. 38 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 3: So that was pretty clever of her, Although world leaders 39 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: do that sort of thing all the time, give each 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 3: other gifts, little tokens of a we're friends. 41 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no chance they're going to invest ten percent 42 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: of their GDP in the United States based on this agreement. 43 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: She's just given Trump the look at the deal I made. 44 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: But they'll drag their feet. It's like slave reparations. They'll 45 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: form commissions about how to do it and when to 46 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: do it till la coows come home. Yeah. 47 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 3: I heard some reporting yesterday on South Korea's pledges have 48 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 3: not come true. 49 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: No, no, and they're not going to Well that's underreported. 50 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: So tell me about Trump's entrance before we play these clips, 51 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: because I did not see it. 52 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: I was spectacular. So you've got the on an aircraft carry. 53 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: You got the big deck that they can lower so 54 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: the fighter jets and whatever else can come down into 55 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: the lower parts of the ship. And forgive me navy 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: guys for using silly villion speech, but I don't know 57 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: the proper terms. So they can bring them down for repair, storage, 58 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: badweather or whatever. Well something or other elevator, but anyway, 59 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: So the elevator starts to come down to the lower 60 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: deck where all the troops are assembled, and there's Donald J. 61 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: Freakin Trump with his hand on a big missile and 62 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: the crowded guys just goes crazy, and Lee Greenwood is 63 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: blasting and ladies and gentlemen. The President of the United 64 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: States of America, Donald J. Trump, and he gets a 65 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: huge crowd at a I gotta watch that. 66 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: You don't hang around DAYA the fighter jet and the 67 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 3: missiles with the sky in the background. Please, he doesn't 68 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: hang around Dana White and those WWE events without learning 69 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: a little something about showmanship. Now you come into an arena, right, 70 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: that is something I guess that gets repped. Here's a 71 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 3: couple of clips of Trump yesterday. 72 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 5: This woman is a winner. So you know we've become 73 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 5: great toast friends. And all of a sudden because their 74 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,559 Speaker 5: stock market today at our stock market today. 75 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: Hit an all time high. 76 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 5: That means we're doing something right. But the cherished alliance 77 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 5: between the United States and Japan is one of the 78 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 5: most remarkable relationships in the entire world. 79 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 3: You made a good point earlier because I'm about to 80 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 3: talk about the whole spheres of influence thing, and China's 81 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: going to get that part of the world, and we're 82 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 3: going to get this part of the world, and that 83 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 3: might just be the direction history is going our relationship 84 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: with China certainly doesn't fit in with that, I mean 85 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: with it with Japan. 86 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and all the other Asian countries. Trump went to, 87 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean the president of the United States going to Malaysia, 88 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: going to Korea, going to Japan, saying, hey, we're great buddies, 89 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: we're great trading partners, and we're going to stay that way. 90 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: In fact, let's solidify that relationship. Unless that's some sort 91 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: of weird pressure technique on China, and then he's going 92 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: to say never mind and striking the great bargain that's 93 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: being rumored about the spheres of influence thing. It's just know, 94 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: it's a real counter to that idea. 95 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 3: Well, and Japan and China are historic enemies in a 96 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: way that few countries are. 97 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: No, there are no countries we hate as much as 98 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: Japan and China hate each other. For good reason. 99 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 5: Trump goes on, I'm delighted to report that I've just 100 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 5: approved the first batch of missiles. 101 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: You saw a couple of them coming. 102 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 5: Down with me. 103 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: I hugged them. We need them. They're the best in 104 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: the world. 105 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 5: Nobody has them like we have them. They all want 106 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 5: our missiles. 107 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: That's the problem. Everybody wants them. 108 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 5: But it's the first batch of missiles to be delivered 109 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 5: to the Japanese Self Defense Forces for Japan's at thirty 110 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 5: fives and they're coming this week, so they're ahead of schedules. 111 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, we are not abandoning Asia, not even close. 112 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 3: So this is what The New York Times wrote about 113 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 3: Trump's meeting with President sheiv China, which happens on when 114 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: China's leader Xijingping sits down with President Trump to address 115 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 3: their worsening trade tensions, he will also be pursuing another 116 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: longer goal, persuading the American president to soften US support 117 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 3: for Taiwan. Trump has said he wants to focus on 118 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 3: trade when he meets Xi, even if the Chinese leader 119 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: presses him on Taiwan, the Democratic League governed island that 120 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 3: does one hundred miles off China's coast and Beijing claims 121 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 3: belongs to China. But the diplomatic maneuvering raises a crucial 122 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: question how negotiable is our support for Taiwan, especially given 123 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,679 Speaker 3: mister trump sometimes dismissive comments about the island. Trump has 124 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 3: reportedly said, if they decide to take Taiwan, they're. 125 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: Gonna get Taiwan. Nobody's gonna be able to stop them. 126 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 3: Chinese officials, analyst said, may seek this in other meetings 127 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: to draw mister Trump out on the issue, to have 128 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: him clarify his position on Taiwanji probably wants Trump to 129 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 3: state that the United States does not support independence for Taiwan. 130 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 3: Saying that would echo what previous US administrations have said. 131 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: That's what we always say, It's what Obama said, as 132 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: what Biden said with Bush ed we've been saying it 133 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: for many, many, many years, that we don't advocate for 134 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 3: independence of Taiwan, while at the same time sort of 135 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: insinuating that if you try to take Taiwan, we're willing 136 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: to go to war with you over it anyway. 137 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 1: Right, it's really silly diplomatic speak. 138 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 3: A clear statement of that by a US president would 139 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: be welcomed by Beijing, which for his years has accused 140 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: Washington of encouraging Taiwan toward independence. Earlier this year, the 141 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: State Department altered a web page about Taiwan, removing the 142 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 3: phrase we do not support Taiwan independence, drawing loud complaints 143 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 3: from China that was. 144 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: So odd, they are freaking independent. Well, I don't have 145 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: your political system. They don't follow your laws. They are independent. 146 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: Well, and we have war games all the time, and 147 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: so does Taiwan about keeping them independent. In Japan participants, 148 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: in Australia participates. Yeah, so all the diplomatic languages. 149 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: Well, how about that that we took one phrase off 150 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: of a website and China, who probably has some guy 151 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: whose job it is to monitor that website, Notice the 152 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,239 Speaker 1: phrase is missing. The phrase is missing, and then throws 153 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: a big fit about the fact that we took that 154 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: one phrase off the website. Right, man, how about that 155 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: sort of thing. They've so hacked into all our systems, 156 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: they've probably get an alert whenever anything like that happens. Yeah, 157 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: I know, I know to Does it have to do 158 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: with Asian saving face or something? I don't get their 159 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: obsession with that. Who's that for? We do not advocate 160 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: for Taiwanese independence? 161 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 4: What is that? 162 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: Just like me saying I do not advocate for the 163 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: state of Indiana. But it's there, It's already there. 164 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: So I didn't realize until sixty minutes brought it up 165 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: the other night about Venezuela one. They've got the world's 166 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 3: largest oil reserves and they have a lot of the 167 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 3: rare earth stuff that China has the world market cornered on. 168 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 3: Is there any chance that some of this sending aircraft 169 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: carriers and marines and everything to Venezuela is a signal 170 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 3: to she that We're going to get our rare earth 171 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: stuff one way or another. 172 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: So don't think that we're completely beholden to you and 173 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: you can just rake us over the coals on any 174 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: deal you might want to get something for this, because 175 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: we have other options and I'm willing to do it right. 176 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: We just signed a giant deal with the Australians too, 177 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: and there's been enormous piles of investment on rare earth 178 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: development in the US and amongst our ally. So yeah, 179 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: I think that's a great point and exactly what he's doing. 180 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 3: And President she probably thinks I could see Trump taking Venezuela. 181 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: He probably believes that's on the table as a passive. Yeah, 182 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: some sort of regime change is a lot more likely 183 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: with our backing, But that's a tough nut to crack too. 184 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: The I would love to see it, I just don't 185 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: know how it would happen. Yeah, the other thing I 186 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: wanted to mention, what's the other thing, I want to 187 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: mention is real quickly whill you're thinking about that. The 188 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: problem is there's been zero sign of any cracks in 189 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: support from Maduro among the military. And unless you have that, 190 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: and maybe maybe our spooks have, uh you know, information 191 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: that I don't certainly. But if you don't have that, 192 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: you're really you're up against it. You're going to be 193 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: fighting a war for a long time. Oh. 194 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 3: I know the other thing I wanted to bring up. 195 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: I remember listening to a National Review podcast year or 196 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 3: so ago, and all of the hosts on there, they're 197 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 3: asked the question. And the National Review is a right 198 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 3: wing publication, conservative publication, whatever you want to call Some 199 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 3: people get really worked up about these terms. 200 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 5: But. 201 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: Republican public caad and pretty hawkish usually. And the question was, 202 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 3: if China decides to move on Taiwan, will we go 203 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 3: to war to stop that from happening? And every single 204 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 3: person on the panel said no, no, we're not going 205 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 3: to get involved in a ward to stop Taiwan from 206 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 3: being taken. And that changed my mind on it, because 207 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: I thought we were thoroughly committed as a country to 208 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 3: know that ain't going to happen. But between like that 209 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 3: point of view from some of the biggest Republican thinkers 210 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: in America, and Trump supposedly saying. 211 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: If China wants Taiwan, they're going to get Taiwan. Nobody 212 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: can stop them, which I think he's probably realistically true. 213 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: He got the one of the biggest military powers on 214 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: the planet an island one hundred miles from its shore. 215 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: If it really wants to take it, how's the rest 216 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: of the world going to stop them? Well, we both 217 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: read of pieces about simulations, computer simulations of how the 218 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: battles would unfold and that sort of thing. That our 219 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: military is run and the best we can do is 220 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: slow them down a bit and assemble a giant, multinational 221 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: force and hope it gets there in time. Because this 222 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: sinus backyard, it's that a front yard, all right. And 223 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: our appetite for having soldiers die in great numbers is 224 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: not the same as China's. If they lost five thousand 225 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: guys in the pursuit of Taiwan, that'd be nothing. 226 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 3: If they lost fifty thousand guys, President, she wouldn't blink 227 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: an eye. We lose five thousand guys defending it, that'd 228 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 3: be the biggest crisis in forever. 229 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed. Yeah, yes, I'll be interesting to see how 230 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: that plays out or if Trump gives any English. According 231 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: to The New York Times, she's going to try to 232 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: make Taiwan a topic. Trump's going to try to make 233 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: it not a topic. So we'll see how that plays out. Yeah, 234 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: interesting stuff. May you live in interesting times? Spicy times, 235 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah. 236 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 3: Did I need to watch all six hundred and nine 237 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 3: pitches last night? Probably not, But I. 238 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: Enjoyed so many pitches, so many pitches, nineteen pitchers, that's crazy. 239 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: We got more on the way. Stay here. 240 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 6: Insight on when music will well. Sean Diddy Combs could 241 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 6: be out of prison. He's serving a fifty month prison 242 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 6: sentence for interstate prostitution. Federal inmate records now reveal he's 243 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 6: set to be released on May eighth, twenty twenty eight. 244 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 6: Combs has been detained since his arrest in September of 245 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 6: last year. His attorneys say they expect to appeal his sentence. 246 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: Well, so get out in two and a half years. 247 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 3: And I'm glad the rumor didn't come true that Trump 248 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,719 Speaker 3: was going to commute his sentence last week. Remember that 249 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: rumor was floating around from TMZ. 250 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, why stop it? So I love Matt Tayebe. 251 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan, even when I disagree with him. 252 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: His writing is terrific and he is definitely a man 253 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: of the left. He's a liberal as opposed to a progressive, 254 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: and he's like Bill Maher who understands that conservatism is 255 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: not going to be ruined by the commis. It's going 256 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: to be you know, center leftism in America, and so 257 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: he's he's like a real battler against it, which is 258 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: kind of cool. He wrote this great piece the other day, 259 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: and I want to get to a response to it. 260 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: But he's talking about how the upper class lefties are 261 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: going for philosophies that are just suicidal, and to quote him, 262 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: and that will force actual working class Americans to vote 263 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: them out and vote against them out of self preservation. 264 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: That the limousine, prep school, elite university, angry lefty crowd 265 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: is the last thing the actual working class in America needs. 266 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: It's great piece. It's long, as always. Matt is a 267 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: man of many words, not few, But he got a 268 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: response to that, Calumn, are you a card carrying exceptionalist, Matt, 269 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: that you believe this capitalist whorehouse of a country to 270 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: be the most benign system for its citizens. Do you 271 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: really believe the vitriol you pour on Marxism and its 272 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: tenets and how terrible its effects have been in the world, 273 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: never mind that it has never once been implemented anywhere. Oh, 274 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: that old argument, we haven't really tried real communism. Do 275 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: you believe America has been a great force for good 276 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: in the world? If Soware and Tayibe, man of the left, says, 277 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: let's see defeating the Nazis in Imperial Japan, accepting more 278 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: refugees from Nazi Germany than any other country, inventing polio vaccines, chemotherapy, 279 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: the Internet, nuclear power, cars, airplanes, movies, radio, electric light, 280 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: frozen food, the photograph, both the telephone, cell phones, rock 281 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: and roll, jazz and hip hop TV, The Transistor of 282 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: the pill, basketball and volleyball, Star Trek and Star Wars. 283 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: Four hundred and twenty five Nobel Laureates, Free speech, free press, 284 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: freedom of religion, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Moby Did 285 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: The Invisible Man, Fear Loathing in Las Vegas, The Panama 286 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: Canal Transit, oceanic communication, the poems of Frost, Poe MacLeish, 287 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: and Emily Dickinson, personal computers, the assembly Line, landing on 288 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: the Moon, rebuilding Europe.

I'm not sure 294 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 3: that my argument for why America's good would include Emily 295 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 3: Dickinson's poems. I think it's more about it keeping the 296 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 3: because you're a cad, keeping the world order what it 297 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 3: has been since the end of World War Two, because 298 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 3: somebody has to be the world's policeman, biggest, biggest bully 299 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 3: on the block whatever to keep the world order going. 300 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: So billions of people could get lifted out of poverty 301 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: because of the functioning of free markets.

I immediately. 329 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 3: Put my hand over my watch in my wallet when 330 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 3: anybody ever starts talking about health stuff, because there's just 331 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 3: a lot of you know, very few people ever want 332 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 3: to come out and just say, well, you got to 333 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 3: eat less and exercise more would be the main way 334 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 3: to lose weight, as opposed to. 335 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: I've got a new way that nobody's ever thought of before. 336 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: You eat only things that match this paint chip that flows. 337 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: It's called beige eating. Only eat things that are beige 338 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: at the monochromatic time. 339 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 3: But this guy, I thought that was interesting. Of course, 340 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 3: your mileage may vary. It happens a little earlier for 341 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 3: some people, a little later like my dad for some people, 342 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 3: but in general, at seventy five you just go off 343 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 3: a cliff, and he wants to extend. 344 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: That out a little further. 345 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 3: Not your lifespan, but the years that you can actually 346 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 3: do stuff and enjoy yourself. 347 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, I'll hold my takeaway from that segment back. 348 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to see everybody's thunder. 349 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 3: Here's Norah O'Donnell from sixty minutes talking to the doctor. 350 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 8: And so is your goal to minimize or essentially erase 351 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 8: that marginal decade the. 352 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 7: Marginal decade's not going anywhere. We will all have a 353 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 7: final decade of life. My goal is to make the 354 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 7: marginal decade as enjoyable as possible. The way I explain 355 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 7: it to my patients is that last ten to fifteen 356 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 7: of your years, if you don't do anything about it, 357 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 7: you will fall to a level of about fifty percent 358 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 7: of your total capacity cognitively, physically. 359 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 8: And when people hear that, you're like, I don't want 360 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 8: to be that. That's not how I want to spend 361 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 8: the last decade of my life. 362 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 7: A lot of people respond that way as though they're 363 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 7: hearing this for the first time, although if you ask them, 364 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 7: haven't you seen people in this state, they'll say, well, yeah, 365 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 7: I guess I. 366 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: Have, likely their own relatives, sure, their run parents. Even well, 367 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: I am fairly functional on my best day, So you know, 368 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: fifty percent of that oo that's getting down there? Yeah, hey, iikes. 369 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 3: That is a funny aspect of human beings that even 370 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 3: though we most of us experience it with family members 371 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 3: or whatever, we feel like it's not going to happen 372 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 3: to us or something. 373 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: It's yes, yeah, I don't. I don't have that old 374 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: guy attitude. I'm not going to be somewhat stooped over 375 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: and complain about arth. 376 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 3: Right, or we're and this is a slightly different topic, 377 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 3: but not completely. I was talking to a guy last 378 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 3: night who's a friend of mine, and he's dealing with his. 379 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: Mom's final years and how they're going to. 380 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 3: Deal with it, and just that stat that I always 381 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 3: think about, where like ninety eight percent of people say 382 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 3: they want to die at home, ninety eight percent of 383 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 3: people don't die at home, right, And. 384 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, for a variety of reasons. But anyway, let's hear 385 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: a little more of this before we discuss go on. 386 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 7: I think this is the neglected part of medical testing 387 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 7: is how fit are you? 388 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: How strong are you? 389 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 7: All right? 390 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: How well do you move and up overhead? 391 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 7: And in many ways these tests are even more predictive 392 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 7: of how long you're going to live than what I might. 393 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: Get out of your blood work. 394 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 8: How do we know that? 395 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 7: The data are pretty clear when you look at things 396 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 7: like cardio respiratory fitness, when you look at muscle mass, 397 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 7: when you look at strength, they have a much higher 398 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 7: association than things like even cholesterol and blood pressure. 399 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 8: You think anyone whether they're forty five or sixty five 400 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 8: should be training like athletes, not for the Olympics, but 401 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 8: essentially for advanced age. 402 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely, life is a sport ain thing of that idea. 403 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: I didn't hear anything that he said that contradicted things 404 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: that I've learned through the years about how to age well, 405 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: having to do with strength and flexibility and various measures. 406 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: The guy just struck me as a really high end, 407 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: extremely thorough personal trainer with a medical background. You hear 408 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: a lot of faux medical crap, and that seemed to 409 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: be just I mean, essentially, he's going to turn you 410 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: into an Olympic athlete. Some of the exercise regimens and 411 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: tests they were gonna do it all. How could they 412 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: not help you live longer? It looked like an enormous 413 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: amount of work. Yeah. 414 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 3: One of the reviews of one of his books, his 415 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 3: work has exploded in popularity amid the longevity boom, but 416 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: he stresses evidence over hype, urging people to train seriously 417 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 3: for vibrant old age rather than chasing quick fixes, which 418 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 3: was what I was talking about earlier. The crawl like 419 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 3: a dog exercise or whatever, the new things. 420 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know a couple of people who fly 421 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: to like South American capitals to get various infusions. You 422 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: know people who do that, Yes, infusions of what one 423 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: guy in particular, I can't remember exactly, the blood of 424 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: a thirteen year old, blood of a tamon serum, the 425 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: plasma of the jaguar. I don't know exactly. Do you 426 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: know people who fly to other countries, Yes, to get infusions. 427 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: The guy is super into the anti aging thing, like 428 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: you know less about doctor Atilla, who again struck me 429 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: as a lot more legit than ninety percent of what 430 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: I hear about this stuff. But yeah, he's super into it. 431 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: He believes that. He's a very smart guy. He's been 432 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: very successful, although you know, one sort of success doesn't 433 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: necessarily translate to good judgment in another way. But he's 434 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: a lovely guy. 435 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,239 Speaker 3: But if you got a lot of money, what are 436 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 3: you going to spend your money on that's better than 437 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 3: trying to have more enjoyable years of your life? And well, 438 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 3: you know, if there's a five percent chance that works, 439 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: if you've got a lot of money, it makes more 440 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: sense to do that than without cow which we were 441 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 3: talking about early exactly, you were talking about this four 442 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty six thousand dollars chair and a what 443 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 3: was the name of that? Again, you can take the 444 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 3: boy out of the working class, but you can't take 445 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 3: the work. And oh here it is a Jeanreer type 446 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 3: sofa for a million dollars. It makes sense to me 447 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 3: completely that we are designed to continue to work our 448 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 3: minds and bodies, and then as soon as we stop, 449 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 3: they just decide, well, I guess, I guess we're. 450 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: Done, right, right, I think it just it helps to 451 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: remind yourself over and over again. You are an animal. 452 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: You are a biological being, no different than beavers. Beavers 453 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: don't have long, happy retirements. Look at my teeth where 454 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: they sit. Are those dentures beaver dentures? They look totally natural. 455 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: They don't look at you. I brought down a sapling yesterday. 456 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: Good man, you gotta stay in jap No. But the 457 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: invention of a I have reproduced. I have raised my 458 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: young I have functioned as the village elder, and now 459 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm just I play golf and I watch movies. That 460 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: doesn't exist in the animal world. We invented that, right, 461 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: So you got to think about, all right, what is 462 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 1: every other beast doing? Well, it's alive, it stays active. 463 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: You've got to stay active. I believe that absolutely. 464 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 3: I don't want to be annoying works out guy. So 465 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 3: I probably shouldn't say this very I done, But I 466 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 3: go to the gym every single day, and I feel better. 467 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 3: I feel better now than I felt when I was forty. 468 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 3: I'm twenty years older than that. 469 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm way more uh in every way, feel better from 470 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: uh exercising regularly. I hope I can keep it up. 471 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: I probably can't. Like I said earlier, I'm doing it 472 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: only out of vanity. It can't hurt. No, it can't hurt. 473 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: I'm just worried about when, you know, like I said, 474 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: I finally get a mate. 475 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 3: I'll just I'll become a you know, Jim Schmim. Huh, 476 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 3: Let's watch TV and that's all the way over. On 477 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 3: the other side, I'm gonna immediately go from going to 478 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 3: the gym every day to watching TV eating bowls of pudding. 479 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 3: That's the transition will be very seamless. 480 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: Riding around the grocery store on a rascal right exactly, 481 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: didn't I used to see you at the gym? Maybe 482 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: at it all by way? Wow? Wow, No, I'm from 483 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: predicting my future.

Freemid locks it 532 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: up in the eighteenth Yeah. 533 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 3: One of the reasons the announcers didn't get immediately excited 534 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 3: like you usually hear when there's a big hit, because 535 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 3: there's been like five. 536 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: It's like that that got caught at the wall because 537 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: everybody is waiting for that game to end. It's deep, 538 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: it's deep, and they catch it with six inches to go, 539 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: so they waited to see what it actually left. Freaking show. 540 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 3: Heyo, Tony got them based nine times. He spends more 541 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 3: time trying to fix his hair just the way he 542 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: wants it than most athletes. 543 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: You see, I've noticed it's very boyish and uh teen treay. Yeah, 544 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: he gets it just right. Maybe that's the key to 545 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: his success. Well, it doesn't hurt, and he's nine times 546 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: and he's the starting pitcher tonight. Yeah, it's just incredible. 547 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to wheel himunta on a wheelchair. He's 548 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: so tired unbelievable anyway, so wanted to get to this 549 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: squeeze it in almost forgot great reporting by Steve Williams. 550 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: He posted it at RedState dot com. We can't get 551 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: to the whole thing, so we'll post it at Armstrong 552 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: and Getty dot com under hot links. LA's latest housing scandal, 553 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: the homeless industrial Complex unbelievable, he writes. The recent federal 554 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: arrests tied to a senior housing project have exposed a 555 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: pattern in a series of earlier transactions quietly approved by 556 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: the City of La. Key to this scheme is the 557 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two purchase of four Extended Stay America hotels 558 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: from Blackstone, the world's largest private equity firm. These acquisitions, 559 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: totally more than one hundred and eighty million dollars were 560 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: financed through Project Home key Gavin Newsom's California Pandemic here 561 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: a program to convert hotels into homeless housing, but analysis 562 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: shows the city was not addressing homelessness. They sit almost empty. Instead, 563 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: it created a real estate windfall for politically connected developers 564 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: and what of Wall Street's most powerful landlords. The four 565 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: Extended State properties were sold for staggering amounts far far 566 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: above market value. Wow. Each was bought from Blackstone, which 567 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: it acquired the Extended State America brand in twenty twenty 568 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: one through adventure Blah blah blah. Less than a year later, 569 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: Blackstone was cashing out of its LA holdings, not to 570 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: private investors, but to city hall, flush with emergency homeless funds. 571 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: According to records, each purchase included architectural fees, zoning, CEQA reviews, 572 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: environmental assessments, and a two percent administrative fee, all build 573 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: to taxpayers, totally more than four point two million dollars 574 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: in added costs besides the incredibly bloated prices. Three years later, 575 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: most of these hotels remain largely empty. They're part of 576 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: a growing portfolio of home key funded properties that have 577 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: failed to house significant numbers of homeless residents despite costing 578 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: taxpayers billions. Then he writes sound familiar because it is. 579 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: Back in August, I reported how Torrance officials stopped La 580 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: County from spending thirty million dollars on a hotel valued 581 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: at just ten million dollars, a near copy of the 582 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: scheme the City of La ran three years earlier. The 583 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: steps were nearly identical. Find a hotel inflate its value, 584 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: declare an emergency purchase using homelessness funds, moved taxpayer money 585 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: quickly before anyone asks questions. But the problem was the 586 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: City of Torrance is run by Republicans, and suspecting that 587 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: the county's price was inflated, the city commission an independent 588 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: third party appraisal which confirmed that the true value was 589 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: not thirty million dollars, it was ten million dollars. Under 590 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: public scrutiny, the deal collapsed with the Republican led city 591 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: government preventing another multi multimillion dollar misuse of public funds. 592 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: And he goes into describing of how it's all built 593 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: on secrecy. Secrecy, everything moves quickly, the figures are never 594 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: known to the public. Project home Key was designed for speed, 595 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: not scrutiny. Cities are allowed to bypass competitive bidding and 596 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: public hearings if they labeled their purchases emergency acquisitions. 597 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 3: God, how did the Bernie crowd get away with the 598 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 3: tax the rich rich not paying their for fair share 599 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 3: all the time without ever getting into this stuff. 600 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: This is where the money is, Bernie AOC. You want 601 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: more money for all the stuff you care about? This 602 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: is where it is, right right, absolutely true. And you 603 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: know what really pisses me off is that the media, 604 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: they have completely lost their taste for finding and disclosing 605 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: government waste or lavish programs like this because they're all 606 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: generated by the left, and so they think, well, homelessness 607 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: is a terrible problem. I don't want to be seen 608 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: as criticized them. I mean, they may have overpaid a little, 609 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: but it was an emergency, after all, after all, architect fees, 610 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: It's already existed for a very long time. I'm sure 611 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: it's fine. 612 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 7: Well. 613 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: And hack Law, which is the acronym for the uh 614 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, acts as 615 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: broker administrator, handles all the transactions internally, then builds the 616 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: city for staffing and overhead millions and millions of dollars. 617 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: You know, this reminds me of how much time I got, Michael, 618 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: depends on how you kept Now we got three minutes, okay, 619 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: So similar to this. 620 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 3: I heard this story twice over the weekend, just coincidentally, 621 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 3: from people that work in schools in California. How much 622 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 3: food they're wasting at their school. Somebody brought it up, 623 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 3: and then another person because. 624 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: During the pandemic somebody was able to jam through the no, no, 625 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: everybody should get breakfast and lunch. It used to be 626 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: just like need based, and then somebody decided the crisis 627 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: now everybody. And so it continued after the pandemic's over, 628 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: as these programs always do. And these teachers, who I 629 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: assume are probably lefties, were horrified by how much food 630 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: they're throwing away every day. They said, like half the kids. 631 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 3: Bring their own lunch, or don't eat lunch or breakfast 632 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 3: or show up. They eat breakfast at home. 633 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: And they make all of these meals for every single 634 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: kid in the school, breakfast and lunch, and most of 635 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: them they throw away. And I wanted to say to them, 636 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: but I didn't want to jump into the story. The 637 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: spending is the point. It's not about anybody getting any food. 638 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: It's about spending money. And it's the same with this 639 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 1: homeless thing. When will liberals understand the spending is the point, 640 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: not fixing your causes that you care about. You know 641 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,439 Speaker 1: Steve Williams who wrote this article, you read his mind 642 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: or vice versa. He writes every wasted dollars one that 643 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 1: could have gone toward mental health treatment, addiction recovery, job, training, 644 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: new housing construction. Instead, those dollars slowed to brokers, bureaucrats 645 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: and Blackstones balance sheet. And then then he points out 646 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: to your point. When the leaders of Torrance rejected these 647 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,760 Speaker 1: thirty million dollar extended state proposal, they were immediately hammered 648 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: with accusations being anti homeless, right, or insensitive to the 649 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 1: almlessness problem? Mean conservatives?
