WEBVTT - I've Seen A Beaver Smokin' Marijuana 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty. 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:21.760 Arm Strong and Jettati and no He Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.800 The President did tell reporters about a major development out 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.000 of the Middle East, the Hoothy's agreeing. 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:30.480 To stop targeting US vessels. 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.360 The Iran backed militia had snarled global trade by attacking 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:36.440 ships in the Red Sea for more than a year, 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.080 saying it was in protest of the war in Gaza. 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.800 The President announcing in exchange, He'll suspend the US strikes 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:43.680 against the Houthies. 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:50.479 We will stop the bombings, and they have capitulated, but 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.800 more importantly they we will take their word. 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:57.120 But the Houthy's vout is still targeted. Is real overnight 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:00.560 bond and airporting Yemen after a Hoothy strike, you're tel. 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.200 Aviv, Okay. So that's kind of interesting. What I really 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.480 wanted to play is the way this played out there. 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.760 So this is Trump sitting in the Oval Office with 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.319 the Canadian Prime Minister sitting there wishing the whole thing 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.040 was over. Trump was taking questions about the Hoofy thing 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.760 because the story had just broken and this is the 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:16.240 way it went. 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.520 We had some very good news last night. The Hooties 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.520 have announced that they are not or they've announced to 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.679 us at least, that they don't want to fight anymore. 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.200 They just don't want to fight, and we will honor that, 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:35.839 and we will we will stop the bombings and they 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:42.080 have capitulated. But more importantly they we will take their word. 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.759 They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore. 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.040 And that's what the purpose of what we were doing. 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.720 So that's an interesting way to announce that, I thought. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.840 And then this question from a reporter. 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:54.600 He talks a thing more about. 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.480 The deal if you fetch. 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:57.640 No, it's not a deal. 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:01.120 They've said, please don't bomb us anymore, and we're not 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:02.800 going to attack your ships. 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:04.080 Wait did you hear about that? 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.920 It doesn't matter where I hear the very good source. 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.760 I could, very very good source. Would you say, Marco, 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.320 I would say pretty good, right, j D A very 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:12.880 good source. 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.920 Trump He's a he's unique. Yeah, I'd say, yeah. The 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.320 Huthis are going to continue to lob ordnance at Israel. 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.280 By the way, in Israeli ships. 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:30.079 I wonder what we told him, like, probably something along 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.040 the lines of look you can shoot at Israel. 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.920 That's what you do. I get it. You can't be 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:40.280 stopping shipping. We can't put up with that. Yeah, we 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.040 got fifty thousand more of those missiles we've sent your way, 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.640 So up to you. I'll bet, I'll bet that's close 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:52.600 to what we said. Yeah, essentially, Yeah, And I was 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.280 just reading. I hope it holds. I think if I'm 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.040 a HOUTHI. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.000 I agree with Trump because I don't think he's gonna 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:02.560 let that go on. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:07.120 You're not going to interrupt international shipping anymore. That's over now. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.240 I just read a piece where this frees us up 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.480 for the whole attack in Iran, which is still coming. 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:12.200 One of these days. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.560 One of these days, we're all going to wake up 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.959 in Israel with our help, is going to attack Iran 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:17.959 and it's going to be the biggest military thing we've 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:19.480 done in this country in a quarter century. 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:24.720 That's gonna happen one of these days. Right. Meanwhile, Israel 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.000 has the green light to lob ordinance back of the 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.960 hoothies if they want, with our support and the you know, encouragement. 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.200 So a different topic. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.280 I wanted to get to this. This is the most 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.119 interesting thing I came across yesterday. I sent it to Joe. 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.400 I found it so interesting. So I don't have a 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.560 full handed grasp on woke right in what's going on there. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.920 It's a little slippery for me, so I don't want 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:54.560 to like get into that argument completely. But James Lindsay, 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.440 who we like on this show, he gave a little 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.600 speech yesterday and a bunch of people were tweeting part 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.280 of it, saying this. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:05.640 About our kids out there today. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.240 Conservative parents all over the country, who, by the grace 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.840 of God didn't lose their daughters to trans because of 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.880 the woke left, are now seeing their sons lured toward 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.000 Nazism by. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:19.479 The woke right. 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.160 You can leave woke right out of it if that 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.920 term bothers you, and the justifications are just as bad 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:30.840 in resentment and on the other side. And Jordan Peterson, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.680 who either you know or don't, his response to that 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.120 was beware of any of these movements that are motivated 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.120 by resentment, And that really struck me as like a 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:45.039 measuring stick for all this stuff going forward. If the 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.960 motivation of the movement as you're so resentful of the 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.080 way you're being attacked, as opposed to a more. Even 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.080 if you are being attacked as opposed to a more 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.839 positive here's what we can accomplish, spin that tends to 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.320 drive you to do bad things. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:05.479 Right, right if your motivation is the grievance as opposed 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:10.840 to a goal an ideal. Yeah, there's subtlety in this, 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:12.040 Yeah there is. 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.800 But I do think that we're maybe in the midst 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.160 of this, and it is a problem. The idea that 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.440 your daughters in high school and college they were They're 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.040 coming at them hard with the whole hayar trans and 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.560 men are evil and all the different things, and it's 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.560 so popular in college, and it worked on a lot 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:30.520 of people, unfortunately. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:31.920 But now the. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.560 Guys who have been attacked I kind of see this 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.159 in my own kids and they're friends. Guys who have 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.560 been attacked for so long as being you know, toxic 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.520 masculinity and all these different sort of stuff have built 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.320 up a pretty big head esteem of resentment themselves. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.359 And are well earned, well earned. 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:56.320 But resentment politics or resentment movements aren't good for society, 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.240 and I don't know how we get ourselves. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.200 They're not good for you as an individual either, No, 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:00.840 absolutely not. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.680 I don't know how we get ourselves out of this, 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.200 but it is something to be on the watch for. 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.120 I know I'm going to It really struck a chord 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.040 with me because, like I said, I see this in 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.680 my kids and some of their friends, and how resentful 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.760 they are and a lot of that stuff that gets 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.320 pushed toward them. Yeah, which makes you susceptible to a 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.440 you know, some crazy ideas. 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.760 Right, It's happened over and over in history. We don't 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.719 need to point out the most obvious examples of it, 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:31.160 but yeah, and to watch the other side, whatever that 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.760 other side is, break the laws of God and man 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.240 and decency over and over again, and then be told 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:44.360 we don't break the laws of God, men decency. And 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:49.680 you're being told by your gurus, your recruiters that well, 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.679 you're just gonna lose. Then you're gonna lose and lose 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.680 like the oldsters do. Like the oldsters did, they got 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.160 their institutions taken over you. You're gonna cling to your 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:03.240 marquis of Queensberry rules, to your classical liberal principles. You're 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:08.160 gonna lose. So hey, we're dropping the gloves and we're 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.920 gonna fight dirty, and all these old principles are out 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.360 the window. We're gonna beat the other side, you know, 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.440 the problem being the old, old old saying, be careful 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.960 when ye fight monsters, that ye do not become a 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.720 monster yourself, right, And it ends up definitely a race 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:30.120 to the bottom. Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, it's easy to understand. 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.840 And my god, if I were a college student right 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:43.720 now enduring what even moderately left to conservative young men, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.880 particularly white young men, are having to put up with, 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.480 I could see myself being an angry militant. I really could, right. 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.200 And then there's plenty of people out there who make 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.080 a lot of money by the way, or power and 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.800 or money off of convincing you you need to go 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.960 scorched earth again to the other side after all these 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:06.000 years of them saying bad things about you, And I 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:12.680 am concerned about that as the future. I don't know 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:13.760 if there's any stopping this. 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:21.239 There's perhaps tapping the brake and steering it a little 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.440 bit and just persisting in the message of again, you 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.480 don't want to become the very sort of monster that 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.920 you're decrying, because you will become that monster. You will 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.400 lose all sense of proportion, you will lose all sense 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.120 of decency, and you will not in any way accomplish 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.440 anything except defeat your enemies. But it'll be a new 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:44.240 horror and you will then be absolutely deserving of the decapitation, 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:49.000 not literally obviously that comes your way. That's the problem 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.640 with giving in to that temptation. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.320 Yeah, I'm somewhat concerned that I or we are being 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.640 so cloaked in this conversation that some of you aren't 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:57.240 following it. 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:58.040 I don't, I just don't. 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.360 I just don't want to use specific examples of people 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:05.280 or things because they're so hot in some cases. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.000 Yeah, and frankly I don't. I don't need the headache 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:13.680 of dealing with it, right, I just h Yeah, it's 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.440 it's inviting, you know, it's kicking hornets nests. There's no 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.599 point we can we can accomplish what we're trying to 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:19.600 accomplish a different way. 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:20.920 But we got to find a way to keep our 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:25.199 young males from being as you know, red faced screaming 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:30.000 on the streets with just vile hatred against the left, 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.360 as the crazy woke left has been at you know, 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.560 our young men for the past quite a few years. Right. 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.959 Yeah, you know it's funny. I just retweeted something that 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:45.760 was that's the wrong one. Uh. A member of the 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:50.640 so called uh alt right? Uh what do we just 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:51.120 call them? A? 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:51.400 Uh? 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.880 Well right? Whatever? You know? They the name morphs every 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.959 so often and it doesn't really matter. But has this 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.199 meme going uh? And it's from the Lord of the 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.000 Rings and instead of the Ring of power, somebody's grasping 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:11.160 the ring of winning. And the conservative says, cast it 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:18.880 into the fire, destroy it. The wolkrit says no, the 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:23.120 point of retweeting, well, James lindsay you got to Lindsey says, uh, 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:29.480 weird self own lmao. The entire point of the movie 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.560 and the Ring is that no human being can be 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.600 trusted with that sort of power because it will pervert 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.440 you and turn you into a monster. Did you watch 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.160 the movie? Do you get that? That's not a cool 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:46.199 statement of defiance. That's a statement that I am so wildly, 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:51.200 blindly lacking in wisdom. I've completely missed the point. 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:56.000 Yeah, but if you're if you're a young male that 0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:00.440 feels like the world's against you and you're on employed 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.359 or underemployed. 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:07.040 Can't get laid constantly berated by people for being born 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.560 a bad person? Yeah? 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:13.000 Right, it's a lot easier to be viciously angry at 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.439 that crowd than to have any sort of positive outlook 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.920 on trying to overcome it. I mean, I certainly understand 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.000 that it's human nature, agree completely, but we. 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.719 Got understanding something is not the same as condoning it. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.080 I think it's important we do both. Yeah, it's like 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:34.880 I have worked very, very hard to actually understand the 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:40.600 process by which in the mindset in which confused adolescent 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:45.800 girls get swayed to the whole. I'm gender queer, I'm bisexual, 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.000 I'm transgender. Even when they're pre sexual, they're like pre 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:55.040 adolescent to adolescent to teenagers. Not just I just don't 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.240 want to condemn it. I want to understand it because 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.360 that's the only way to fight it effectively. So, yeah, 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:05.720 we have to understand that urge and which one is it. 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.760 Sympathize or empathize with it. Sympathize with it, I get it. 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.000 That doesn't mean I approve of it. But if you 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.240 don't get it, you're not gonna be able to help 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.160 people with it. I don't know if that made any sense. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:18.760 If it did, and you have any comment, our text 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.960 line is four one five, two nine five KFTC. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.520 Reason I stop here you are, you are suspended with 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.400 a warrant for your arrest. And the raccoon her meth pipe. 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.439 That's right, her mes pipe. He's playing with a meth 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.440 pipe right now. There's no trying to smoke it. Hurry, 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:48.600 there's no one. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.800 All right, all right, enough fun in games. So who 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:52.520 grabbed that video? Is that yours? Katie? 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:52.760 So? 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:54.080 Do I understand it right? 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:58.280 That the the the creeps who are driving on meth 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.000 when they get pulled by the cops are laughing about 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:03.920 the fact that there's a raccoon trying to smoke the 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:04.360 meth pipe. 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.400 Or is that the cops laughing? That was the cop 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:13.199 laughing meth pipe raccoon wait back to his room only 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.960 to smoke some more ja hugs. Yeah. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.959 He pulled the woman over for a traffic violation, told 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.400 her she had a warrant, gets her out of the 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.160 car and looks in and there's a raccoon with a 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:23.840 meth pipe. 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:29.520 That's pretty funny. You don't often see well, a raccoon 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:30.240 with a meth pipe. 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.840 If you haven't seen the picture, it looks exactly like 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.200 if you told AI create a picture of me a 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.400 raccoon sitting in the front seat of a car smoking myth. 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.360 It's it's exactly what it looks like now. I once 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:46.120 came across a b of us smoking marijuana and wants 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.480 us on a possum snorting blow. But I've never seen 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.200 raccoon with a methpipe. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.000 These are odd times, Chick. This has got to be 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.560 the reckoning or was something. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:06.640 Checked the Book of Revelations? Is uh raccoon mentioned in there? 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:11.040 And obliquely very end times ish? Yeah, we're talking about 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:16.720 this briefly earlier. I feel like there is a generalized 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:25.760 anxiety slash anger that's like infected everything dealing with it 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:33.440 in my personal life, societally in the United States, college campuses, globally, 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:39.600 UH incumbents, the standard political parties being tossed, extremist ideologies 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:45.760 being embraced, like all over, birth rates plunging. I think 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.840 it's a symptom of the same thing. I just don't 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.680 know what the thing is. Is it we've gone away 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.480 from God. I'm not a very religious guy, but is 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.240 it something like that? I don't know. 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:06.000 And COVID exacerbations, yes, yeah, yeah, I think there's something there. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:11.040 There should be more like bigger picture than just individual 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.520 countries or whatever, just like a global what's going on here? 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:20.640 Everybody's everybody's depressed, angry, doesn't think their government works, stopped 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:21.720 having kids. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:26.080 What the hell right used to be? You know, for generations, 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.160 raccoons had get up when the sun went down, they'd 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.840 rifle through your trash. They'd take what they needed, they'd 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.080 go back to their kids. Now you got them wasted 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:38.840 high on people's front seats, right, Seane, what's the point right, 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:49.320 living in their stone raccoon camps stealing people's bicycles? All right? 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.240 That was half incredibly serious and half ridiculous. I just see, 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.000 I got a laugh to keep from crying, like poor 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.760 Abe Lincoln. Huh, So we're not for laughter? 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:00.880 I think I would go mad as a guy who 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.040 drives a Tesla cyber truck. I like the videos of 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.520 raccoons trying to get into cyber trucks because they think 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:06.520 they're trash dumpsters. 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.440 Now that's a subgenre. I find those entertaining because they 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.240 look like trash dumpsters. Oh, you want to talk about 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.560 the inexplicable. We probably don't have time for this, but 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.480 I've given up caring. Uh, how do you like this headline. 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:25.880 They spend hours decorating their fridge shelves. It's the new 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.520 online trend of refrigerator decorating. 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.760 Well, you don't have kids, you gotta low you gotta 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:33.040 kill a lot of time doing something. 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.120 It started with emptying the contents of a refrigerator, followed 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:41.200 by a deep clean than the staging. Mustard, soy, sauce, 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:45.480 and other condiments were artfully repackaged in stylish containers. Baby 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.040 carrots were submerged in water, arranged in a decorative container, 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.680 and given pride of place on the top shelf. Small 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.560 pumpkins were scattered here and there. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:55.360 How am I so busy? And there are people with 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.640 time to do this? It's called fridge scaping, jack, That's 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.280 what I heard. Doesn't that make you just want to 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:02.440 effing punch somebody? 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.239 It sure does mean folks, I don't know about you. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.879 I don't know why I want to slap somebody hard. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:14.240 Fridge scaping now, Oh oh's right. That took the wind 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.240 out of me. We got to take a break just 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:17.960 to catch our winds. We'll be back with more. 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:24.080 Armstrong and Geeddy Motown legend Smoky Robinson facing allegations of 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.920 sexual misconduct for women coming forward to final a fifty 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.960 million dollar lossuit against him. The complaint accusing the eighty 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.080 five year old singer of alleged sexual battery, false imprisonment, 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:34.600 and a hostile work environment. 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.280 Robinson and his representatives have yet to comment. 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:41.960 Smokey Robinson tears of a clown. I've got sunshine on 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:46.760 a cloudy day. That Smokey Robinson, eighty. 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:50.719 Five years old, false imprisonment in the sexual battery and all. 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:58.520 That's very troubling. Yeah, I'd say my girl was the temptations, 0:17:58.680 --> 0:17:58.920 wasn't it? 0:17:59.440 --> 0:17:59.680 He was? 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:04.160 Wasn't that? Okay? I don't think many classics though many. 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.560 The point remains, so many what else? Has he got? 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:08.359 Tears? 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:14.120 Mcclown, what else? Many other hits think would leap to mind? 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:23.160 And yeah, wonderful anyway, So, uh, great piece just came across. 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.760 John Fund, whose name may be familiar, is a national 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:32.920 affairs columnists for the National Review, longtime conservative commentator. And 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.399 Wendall Cox, who's a think tank guy. Uh, free enterprise, 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:40.359 that sort of thing. And the headline is California's toy 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:45.520 train hobbyists won't give up. It's about the sad and 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:50.160 horrifying high speed rail project in California. And it's funny 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:55.320 because at this point I'm torn between continuing to fight 0:18:55.680 --> 0:19:00.679 the unholy beast that is this theft from the taxpayers 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:09.240 and a feeling like it's such an old topic and 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:13.439 everything's been said, there's no point, and yet it continues. 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:14.000 Yeah. 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:15.119 The lesson is. 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.240 There are plenty of people in and out of government 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.840 that will continue something as long as you know money 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:27.240 is changing hands. The goal disappeared years ago, and we 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:31.280 should all be more aware of that. Yeah, are there 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:35.200 people that still pretend they're ever going to have a 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.159 bullet train? I mean, I'm they are pretending, but I 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:38.800 don't think anybody who actually believes it. 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:40.159 They just know this. 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:42.440 No, this is a never ending money spicgott. If I 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:44.159 can keep it going for like three more years, I 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.119 can pay off my house and put my kids to college. 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.160 Yeah, essentially, and reward our cronies and win the next 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.760 couple of elections. Yeah exactly. I'll just give you a 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:54.960 bit of it. And twenty oh eight they got there, 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.680 not even fifty three percent of California voters to approve 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.200 a ten stupid dollars voters. I'm looking at you geez 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.800 you SAPs. Well, they got they got to had they 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.040 were had they were they were conned, they got less 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.760 than for fifty three percent of California voters to approve 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.320 a ten billion dollar bond issue to jump start the project, 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:17.680 which fromoters claimed would cost thirty three billion dollars, with 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.399 service LA to San Francisco starting in twenty twenty. That's 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:25.200 five years ago, folcus. And you know, the fastest trains 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.280 two hundred miles per hour finish the trip and no 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.240 more than two hours forty minutes tickets affordable. A full 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:32.960 seventeen years later, the project looks more like a con 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:38.359 artists stream than a futuristic transportation service. Boy, that is 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:42.640 a good sentence. Yeah. Last Sunday, even the New York 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.600 Times ran a lengthy piece about it, titled A Scenic 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:49.080 Tale of Red Tape, tracking the slowest high speed train 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:53.080 in the country. Construction is inching long on a third 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.560 of the route, a mere stub between the non metropolis 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:58.200 of Merced and Baker's feet. 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.119 The fact that there is somebody right now as we speak, 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:09.920 with a shovel working on something in theory to continue 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:14.280 this nonsense is really amazing. But yet dollars and trade hands. 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:18.240 Earlier today, I retweeted I think it was Bill Malugin 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:25.200 of Fox News who retweeted and commented sarcastically on the 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:32.160 high speed ripoff authority, saying, California high speed Rail, real progress, 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:37.200 real jobs, real results, fifty plus major structures complete, fifteen 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.960 thousand plus good paying jobs created, and the largest clean 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:45.760 energy transportation project in the nation. Here it is California 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.399 is proving that we can still build big things in America. 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:56.000 Hashtag build California, and Bill tweeted, not one piece of 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.960 track has been laid, not one, and I had an 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:06.160 on self declownment reaches new heights. So anyway, the project 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.159 is now projected to cost at least one hundred and 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.080 twenty eight billion dollars, and it'll be far far more. 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.560 Man's progressives, I realize, are in progressive probably listening to us. 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:17.760 But hey, progressives, why doesn't this make you mad? 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:20.760 Doesn't this make you mad that this money isn't going 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:24.640 to I don't know, transsurgeries are illegal something or other. 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:27.760 Don't you have other causes you care more about that? Well, 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.359 you could actually do something with you didn't exactly steal 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:34.040 man their argument, but yes, I see your point completely. 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:39.760 Government waste SAPs money from the programs you support. So 0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:42.639 it'll cost two hundred billion if it ever exists, and 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.400 it will never exist. But officials no longer even bother 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:48.719 predicting when San Francisco and LA will be linked? Did 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:52.159 you know that? Friends? They won't even throw out a 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:57.240 fake number anymore. Meanwhile, the California High Speed Ripoff Authority 0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:00.560 is virtually out of money. The funding shortfaut is nearly 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:04.240 one hundred billion. It was supposed to cost was it 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:07.919 supposed to cost? Total thirteen billion? I can't remember. 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.119 Thirty No, thirty three, thirty three billion, and then the 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:14.639
