1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and no Key Armstrong and Jetty. 4 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 3: We look at the kinds of things that have been happening, 5 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,159 Speaker 3: starting on the first day of this year, with a 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 3: terrorist attack in New Orleans, school shootings in Minneapolis, a 7 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 3: politicians being gunned down in their front doors, the Charlie 8 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 3: Kirk shooting. The pace of this, which used to be 9 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 3: something that was every month or every other month, is 10 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 3: now every week or every other week. Something is definitely 11 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 3: wrong with the idea that our public discourse has now 12 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 3: become a discourse that has spoken in violent acts as 13 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 3: opposed to discussions. 14 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 4: That's John Miller on CNN former FBI. I think that's 15 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 4: what he was. You know, I didn't know that the 16 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 4: pace had picked up. Really, it seemed pretty awful to 17 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 4: me for quite a while, and then you know, you 18 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 4: get just lost in the blur of news and you 19 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 4: can't remember what happened when. Yeah, that little laundry list 20 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 4: there was pretty troubling. But I assume he's looking at 21 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 4: the actual stats. If the pace has picked up, a 22 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 4: violence of like big public violence, terrorist attacks, school shootings, 23 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 4: political violence, and ain't good. 24 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. 25 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 4: Well, everybody can feel that the overall temperature is just higher. 26 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no denying that the tenor of the vast 27 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 5: majority of conversations is much much more vicious and angry 28 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 5: than generally, you know, not too long ago. 29 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: I was seeing about this the other day. 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 4: How it we know people are speeding more. Yeah, and 31 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 4: just like in I see more people driving ridiculously fast 32 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 4: in town than I've ever seen in my life. 33 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, like, what are you doing? Right? So that's probably 34 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: part of it, right, are just we're hot running hot? Yeah? 35 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, just there's well, I don't know, this is like 36 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 5: a book length topic, but there is a lack of 37 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 5: a feeling of shared responsibility and kinship with your fellow man, 38 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 5: being fellow citizens, being part of the same community, as 39 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 5: accountable to each other. 40 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: And you probably know where I was going with this 41 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 4: when I started into this. But what caused it? 42 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: Is it? 43 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 4: Mostly people always say social media. I don't know if 44 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 4: social media is the right term, but is it just 45 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 4: the online thing that's a chunk of everything that is online. 46 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: It's a chunk of it the way it feeds you 47 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: stuff to make you feel crazier. Everybody that I know, 48 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: I know a. 49 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 4: Few people that are like off the rails. The couple 50 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 4: of people I know that are off the rails are 51 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 4: one hundred percent off the rails because of Twitter and 52 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 4: Facebook and whatever things they're. 53 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: On, right, one hundred percent. 54 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 5: Right, Well, and those conversations tend to be angry, and 55 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 5: you know, fantasize about violence or eliminating the enemy and 56 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 5: that sort of thing in a way that leaks into 57 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 5: real life as we've just seen recently the other thing. 58 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 5: And I used to hesitate to say this, And whether 59 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 5: it's just agent I don't give a crap anymore, or 60 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 5: I just think it really needs to be said. No 61 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 5: matter what you think of quote unquote diversity or rampant immigration. 62 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 5: We've gone from a country that had a vast level 63 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 5: of an extremely high level of agreement on basic cultural 64 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 5: concepts to a country in which we have a bunch 65 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 5: of different subgroups who say openly I don't agree with 66 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 5: your concept, your culture, idea of politics, or the family, 67 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 5: or religion, or law or violence or women or one 68 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 5: hundred different things. We now live in a much much 69 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 5: more much less homogeneous society than we used to. 70 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: That's a huge part of it. Yeah, it's funny. 71 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 4: I was having a conversation about the social compact with 72 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 4: my kids the other day. In the various ways it 73 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: displays itself, just like you know, holding the door open 74 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: for somebody, or somebody saying how you doing, you say, 75 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 4: I'm fine. There's like no meaning there really other than 76 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 4: we're we're both distributing that we're part of, you know, 77 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 4: polite society. Yeah, and playing by the rules. That's kind 78 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 4: of what we're saying, right doing. 79 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 5: And it extends to not cutting in line. Yeah, one 80 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 5: hundred different examples. 81 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, I wonder how much of it is 82 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 4: the online thing, and that isn't going away. Just the 83 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 4: fact that the temperature is higher. The temperature is higher 84 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 4: all the way around. It's just higher. It's hotter in sports, 85 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 4: it's hotter in politics, it's hotter on your se the streets, 86 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 4: it's hotter in schools. 87 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: It's just higher everywhere. 88 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, angsty, Well, if there's anything to do about that. 89 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 4: Cash Pattel, the guy who runs the FBI, is before Congress, 90 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 4: right answer answering questions. One interesting thing that's come out 91 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 4: He said they believe there were at least twenty people 92 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 4: on that discord at the time playing video games. Discord 93 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 4: is a talk to each other app, website, whatever the 94 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 4: hell it is. My kids use it sometimes you were headphones, 95 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 4: you know, talk to each other while you're playing video games, 96 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,559 Speaker 4: he says. Cash Patel said there at least twenty people 97 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 4: on there when he talked about the killer talked about 98 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 4: taking out Charlie Cook and admitting that he did it. 99 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 4: Kirk Kirk, damn it twenty people? So in avance of 100 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 4: the killing, you know, I didn't nail that or was 101 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 4: it when he confessed, I don't know which. Okay, I 102 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 4: have to nail that down, handsOn. If you can nail 103 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 4: that down, that'd be interesting because we are trying to 104 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 4: figure out, obviously if there was some sort of group 105 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: that had a pretty good idea that this guy was 106 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 4: gonna assassinate Charlie Kirk, because that would be a big 107 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 4: story obviously. Okay, So there's that, and we'll bring you 108 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 4: the update on that is as soon as we get it. 109 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: So Bill Maher he's better known as. 110 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 4: A commentator in political pundit now than he is as 111 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 4: a stand up comedian. Certainly he's an old guy. It's 112 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 4: like seventy five years old. 113 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: Ors on them. 114 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 4: He's got this show where he just interviews famous people 115 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: alone in his basement while he smokes pot and drinks, 116 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 4: and it's better than it sounds. It's very entertaining. I mean, 117 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 4: the one he did with Billy Joel the other day, 118 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 4: or he does politicians, or the more he drinks, the 119 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 4: worst it cands true true you get toward or higher 120 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 4: he get. The higher he gets smoking pot, he just laughs. 121 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 4: He giggles for a long time. It's like, Okay, you're high. 122 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 4: I'm not don Unless you've ever been to a party sober, 123 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 4: it's like, okay, I got to get out of here. 124 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: People are killing me. Sometimes it's that. 125 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 4: But anyway, he had had Charlie Kirk on just a 126 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 4: couple of months ago and they had a long, great 127 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 4: conversation which he references here because he was taping one 128 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 4: with Billy Corgan, who was a singer with a group 129 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 4: you might not even remember, Smashing Pumpkins. 130 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: He was. 131 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 4: He was taping it the day that he got news 132 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 4: that Charlie Kirk had been shot. And what he has 133 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 4: to say about political violence and everything like that. I 134 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 4: think is pretty interesting here. 135 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 6: It is the irony as a lot of people in 136 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 6: my position is still a liberal, just a traditional liberal, 137 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 6: not won't go along with their like a lot of 138 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 6: the stuff that's just crazy out there too far, which 139 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 6: gets Trump elected. 140 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. 141 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 6: As I always say to my woke friends, we voted 142 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 6: for the same person. You're just why she lost. 143 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: Oh God, took me a second. Sorry, i'd absorbed that. 144 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 6: Okay. You know, they're the people who don't want to talk. 145 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 6: It's my main issue with them. They and Charlie Kirk 146 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 6: was a guy who like he was always talking, and 147 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 6: I talked to him here. You know, the right wingers 148 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 6: say what you want about them, but they talk to you. 149 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 6: They're not into this leftist think that the left really 150 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 6: has much more of a I don't talk to you. 151 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 6: I don't want to deal with you.

He's a human being, he's not 157 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 6: a monster. 158 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: And a husband and a father.

But regardless of that, 336 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 4: it sounds pretty damn plausible to me, and it's in 337 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,239 Speaker 4: a it's a real problem we have as a guy 338 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 4: who got whooping cough. 339 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: That's why it's on my mind. 340 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 4: There is a decline in people having their kids vaccinated, 341 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 4: no doubt, but it's small so far, but it's there. 342 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: You add that to adults. 343 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 4: Who got their shots decades ago and of now they've 344 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 4: now worn off, which none of us think about. 345 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: That's what the NBC. 346 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 4: Story talks about, right, we all think I got the 347 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 4: shot for whooping cough when might That's what my mom 348 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 4: told me when I got whooping cough. She said, well, 349 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 4: I got you the shot when you were a baby. 350 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: Mom. I'm sixty, but I, like, I never thought about it. 351 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: I wasn't walking. 352 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 4: Around thinking, man, I'm really I'm I'm rotten dirty here 353 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 4: on whooping cough and tetanus and all kinds of different things. 354 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: But I'm willing to take my chances. I wasn't thinking 355 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: about it at all, and neither are you. Neither is 356 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: anybody else. 357 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 4: But the percentage you need to get to mean we 358 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 4: all remember this a little bit from COVID, right, is 359 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 4: this thing called herd immunity. If you get to like 360 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,959 Speaker 4: ninety five percent of people not being able to get 361 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 4: to a disease, it can't spread runs out of vectors, 362 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 4: It just just mathematically can't spread it. And we've been 363 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 4: at that number or higher for all these different diseases 364 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 4: for decades now, So it didn't matter that so many 365 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 4: adults their immunity had worn off on all these different things. Well, 366 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 4: now the kid number have dropped, even though it's small, 367 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 4: it's gone from like nobody to five percent of kids 368 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 4: who weren't getting inoculated depending on where you live. It's 369 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 4: crossed the line. And that's how I ended up with 370 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 4: whooping cough and lots of people. And you're seeing more 371 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 4: tuberculosis and a bunch of these different things, and that 372 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 4: might be a serious problem for the country. I don't 373 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 4: know what we do about this, other than I wonder 374 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 4: if adults are going to start getting measles shots and 375 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 4: whooping cough shots and all these different well filget boosters 376 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 4: that in the past hadn't been deemed necessary because there's 377 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 4: nobody to give it to you, all right, Nobody ever 378 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 4: told me ever that I should get a booster of 379 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 4: my t DAP shot that you get your kids. 380 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 5: Right, right, And you didn't mention immigration, but that's a 381 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 5: factor too. You let millions of people and NBC in 382 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 5: your country unvaccinated. 383 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, NBC. NBC isn't going to mention that. 384 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 4: So a chunk of that percentage is the biggest migration 385 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 4: in world history that happened over the last presidential term. 386 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 4: We won't mention the mummy who was president. Yeah, that 387 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 4: plays a role obviously. What's it like to be one of. 388 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 5: Those people like at NBC News who want to are 389 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 5: they willfully ignoring immigration? Have they not heard it? 390 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: Are they? 391 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 5: I'm picturing them saying, you know, it's probably not a 392 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 5: major factor, and we don't want to like give people 393 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 5: an excuse for racism, so we'll leave that out. 394 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: Are they just that ignorant? I don't know. 395 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 4: It's more interesting and true, which should be your number 396 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 4: one goal when writing any piece. That we've crossed the 397 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 4: five percent who are out there able to spread it well, 398 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 4: the ninety five percent people that are immune for her immunity. 399 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 4: We've crossed that line because of three things. Fewer kids, 400 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 4: an aging population where their shots are wearing off, and 401 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 4: rampant immigration. But those three factors is what got us here. 402 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you report the whole thing? 403 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? 404 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 5: I would love to know. Seriously, it's not that hard, 405 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 5: so don't be surprised. I guess if doctors starts saying, 406 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 5: you know, you need to get your measle mump's rubella 407 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 5: or tetanus, diphtheria, whatever the official name is of whooping cough, 408 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 5: something starts with the PTEs. 409 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: I believe it's the P and T dep. You don't 410 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: want to know, and you sure don't want your baby 411 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: to have it. No, no, no, no, no no. 412 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 4: It's worst thing. Worst disease I've ever had was whooping golf. 413 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 4: And if a kid had it, yeah, I'd be horrifying. 414 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 4: There's COVID all over the place right now. I know, 415 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 4: I know people with COVID now that I knew three 416 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 4: years ago, and it's a different beast. Now, it's a 417 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 4: different beast. People aren't getting the job. I'm not either, 418 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 4: and it spreads like you can't stop the spread of 419 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 4: it at this point. 420 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 5: Speaking of the mainstream media, I sat on this for 421 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 5: a few days and just never got to the articles, 422 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 5: so I now have getten away from them. But there 423 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 5: were pieces in both the New York Times and I 424 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 5: think it was Washington Post about how people were just 425 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 5: outraged that they and their kids didn't have access to 426 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 5: the COVID vaccine and their kids sometimes like, wait, what 427 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 5: what is the matter with you cultists? 428 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: Seriously? Is it like in your head? I don't know, if. 429 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 5: You're old, got comorbidities, tough respiratory or cardiac situation. You know, 430 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 5: you're probably fine getting it. I'm not with the crowd 431 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 5: that thinks that, like I was. Did RFK Junior himself 432 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 5: say that the vaccine killed more people in the disease. 433 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 5: That's a bizarre and ridiculous thing to say. 434 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 4: I think he did say that years ago. He has 435 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 4: walked it back, and he did say at one point. 436 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 5: But anyway, but if you're like anxious for your kids 437 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 5: to get a COVID vaccine. 438 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: You're a cultist. 439 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 5: Unless there's a special circumstance, then we're not talking about you. 440 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 4: Some of the testimony I think it's today actually was 441 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 4: going to be and they were using their sarcastic tone 442 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 4: on NPR somebody I don't even remember who it is. 443 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 4: We'll be making the claim that COVID wasn't as deadly 444 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 4: as officials had said. It absolutely wasn't as deadly as 445 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 4: officials said. They acted like your kid was at risk 446 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 4: all the time. And I don't think a single healthy 447 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 4: child in America died, not one in the whole country. 448 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, how many people do that? Yeah? I know, 449 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: very frustrating. 450 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 4: One other story that I can fit into the time 451 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 4: we got I thought this an interesting piece in the 452 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal kind of want it to be true, 453 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 4: kind of don't want it to be true. 454 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: It's the idea that this. 455 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 4: Referendum we're gonna have November fourth in California for redistricting 456 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 4: is going to doom Gavin Newsom. It's an opinion piece 457 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 4: in the Wall Street Journal, and they just think it's 458 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 4: gonna take him down. He's putting all his eggs in 459 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 4: that basket, seems to be fighting hard. He putting out 460 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 4: lots of videos, giving speeches and everything like that. 461 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: It's polling horribly. And I assume you all know this story. 462 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 4: It's a well, it's an attempt for Gavin Newsom to 463 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 4: look like the person who's the resistance to Trump so 464 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 4: he can become the Democratic nominee for press. But he 465 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 4: wants to do in California what they're doing in Texas 466 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 4: with the redistricting to get more Democrats. But if they 467 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 4: already have except they already did it years ago, but 468 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 4: they're going to try to squeeze a few more Democrats 469 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,719 Speaker 4: out of the state. It's polling horribly, this ballot measure 470 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 4: to redistrict in the middle like this, and even sixty 471 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 4: percent of Democrats don't like it. So just people just 472 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 4: don't like it. It looks undemocratic, blah blah blah. And 473 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 4: this piece in the World Street Journal thinks it will 474 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 4: doom him that when it goes down big and he 475 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 4: is really you know, put a lot of oop behind it. Yeah, 476 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 4: it's gonna tank him with donors and just in the 477 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 4: eyes of the the experts who are talking him up. 478 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. 479 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 4: I don't know if I agree with that or not. 480 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 4: And again I don't know if I want it to 481 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 4: be true or not. 482 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, I would certainly like to see him brought down 483 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 5: and humiliated, but by other things. 484 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: Right, I it's funny. 485 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 4: I had never considered him the considered the idea of 486 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 4: him winning the presidency. I've considered he could get the nomination. 487 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 4: I think if he became president, I would become so 488 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 4: despondent I could no longer participate in the in the country. 489 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: I would just I. 490 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 4: Would be I would so I would have to give 491 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 4: up my idea that we can govern ourselves, total loss 492 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 4: of will to live. I would become like Michael Malice, 493 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 4: where I no longer believe in democracy. I just don't 494 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 4: think people pay enough attention or smart enough because if 495 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 4: Gavin newsm gets elected, that means nobody looked into California 496 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 4: and what it's like. 497 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's easy to spin the scenario where that happens. 498 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 5: So it is of sure, yeah, yeah, I mean number one, 499 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 5: and everybody knows this right, A very small percentage of 500 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 5: the electorate nominates the candidates. It's the hardest core of 501 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 5: you know whatever. Thirty percent of the population is a 502 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 5: declared Democrat at this point. 503 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 4: I actually think that works against it because since he's 504 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 4: trying to moderate getting the nomination, you'd need to be 505 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 4: all free transition surgeries for illegal children. 506 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 5: Right, Well, he has no beliefs, so he'll be able 507 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 5: to swing back to the left during the primaries. But 508 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 5: but then something happens with the Republican nominee, whether a 509 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 5: narrative is built that just sways enough people, a giant scandal, 510 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 5: a shocking health problem, Joe Biden, just something clears the 511 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 5: way because it's a binary choice. 512 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 4: Sure, I tell you what though, and that i'd be 513 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 4: depressing the comelopolics. 514 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 1: Pauluck Ellipse should have taught the parties. 515 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 5: Look, we've got to have a you know, the little 516 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 5: glass box with the hammer break in emergency, we've got 517 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 5: to at least have a protocol for we've got to 518 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 5: jettison the candidate. We got to put in the backup QB, 519 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 5: because otherwise, you know that scenario plays out. Kevin Newsom 520 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 5: is the president of the US, having earned it by 521 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 5: driving one of the greatest chunks of geography on Earth 522 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 5: straight into the sore and virtually every way economically, educationally, socially, 523 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 5: people leaving for the first time in its history, right right, seriously, 524 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 5: one of the great places on Earth. 525 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: And oh what a nightmare that would be. I don't 526 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: know how he laughed. I laughed. 527 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 5: I wouldn't know whether to, you know, take to the 528 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 5: ramparts or stand on my head and poop poop woulden nickels? Well, 529 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 5: you know, whatever you paid, you'd be overpaid. 530 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 4: I feel like if you stood upright and poop wood 531 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 4: and nickels would be quite a trick. 532 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: Just stand on your head. That does not an act. 533 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: Anybody wants to see. 534 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 4: If you could play the harmonica standing on your head 535 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 4: and poop and would that show you close after a. 536 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: Day, I'll give you five dollars for that. Yeah, anyway, 537 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: be the whole. 538 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 4: Glass box breaking case of emergency. Where does that come from? 539 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 4: Fire alarms? Back in the day, fire alarms used to 540 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 4: be that way. That's right, Yeah, is that recall? They're 541 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 4: not that way anymore, not generally. No break, You just ask, 542 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 4: what's your chance of cutting yourself horribly? 543 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 5: Now I'm bleeding and I'm in a f buildings burning down, 544 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 5: you baby, be careful and break the glass. 545 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: Okay, ay, right, So what time is it? Oh, we 546 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: probably got to take a break. 547 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 4: So they dropped the terrorism charge against uh Mangioni, the 548 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 4: horrifying murderer. Yeah, maybe you can explain why that is 549 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 4: briefly beutilighted. So it'll be a talking point today, among 550 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 4: other things, on the way. 551 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 8: The Trump administration is signaling it's close to a deal 552 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 8: with China over TikTok. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson saying the 553 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 8: US and China have reached the quote framework for a 554 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 8: deal TikTok own her bike Dance has until Wednesday's deadline 555 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 8: to sell to a US approved buyer or risk TikTok 556 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 8: being blocked in the US President Trump and China's president 557 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 8: she could announce a deal when they speak together on Friday. 558 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 4: So the the version I heard of it is, they 559 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 4: have to rewrite the algorithm. Well, if they rewrite the algorithm, 560 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 4: it's a different it's not TikTok, right, I mean call TikTok, 561 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 4: but it's not the TikTok people love so much. 562 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 5: Right, They're going to rewrite the algorithm and then sell 563 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 5: it to a US owner. 564 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I heard. 565 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 4: It was even one of Trump's dudes explaining how it works. 566 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 5: Well, that reminds me of what I learned just a 567 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 5: few years ago that like big box hardware stores have 568 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 5: a different version of the product than you would get 569 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 5: directly from the manufacture. They give they offer a less expensive, 570 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 5: probably less great option to lower the price point for 571 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 5: the big box stores and this will be cut rate TikTok. 572 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, so I don't I don't quite understand that. 573 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: But no, me neither. So that's that story. 574 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 4: And we're not on TikTok because it to Chinese spy 575 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 4: app and when the deal gets done, we'll talk about it. 576 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 5: Then. 577 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: Don't trust China, that's right. 578 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 4: Also, quickly, why did they drop the terrorism charges against 579 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 4: Luigi Mangioni, the scumbag murderer. 580 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 5: It's because what he did in shooting the poorer healthcare 581 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 5: executive does not really fit the New York State definition terrorism, 582 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 5: which is tailored to mostly shooting multiple victims over a 583 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 5: clearly political end. It's just too cloudy. It'd be too 584 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 5: easy to lawyer him out of it. So they're just 585 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 5: going with he's cold blooded murderer. 586 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 4: Okay, fine with me, as long as he does never 587 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 4: get out. I don't care what the charges are, doesn't 588 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 4: make a difference me. And if you support him, you're sick. 589 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: You are. 590 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 4: And there's lots of people outside that courtroom with pro 591 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 4: hymn signs today, which is pretty twisted because that's a 592 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 4: level of political violence. Also, does this need set up 593 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 4: what we're about to hear? I don't want to give 594 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 4: anything away. It doesn't Michael, Okay. 595 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: Here we go. 596 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 9: I heard wheel and I got pulled. The alligator had 597 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 9: him by his AirTag and drags him and I just 598 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 9: puned and punched and punched, and I punched him in 599 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 9: the eye enough that he kind of let go, like 600 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 9: he unclamped a little and I pulled out, but his 601 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 9: teeth were like here and just drug down my arm. 602 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: Be careful with you dogs. 603 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 9: You know, these alligators are no joke. I mean fifteen 604 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 9: feet he came out to get them. 605 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 4: That's a woman who punched an alligator in the eye 606 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 4: to get it to release her dog who is being eaten. 607 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: Well, all's well, that ends well. 608 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 5: I guess do we know where that was, Michael I 609 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 5: was in Florida, Hummer, the infamous sewerer Gators of Manhattan. 610 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm glad it ended well. 611 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 5: But as a guy who spends a fair amount of 612 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 5: time in the Southeast, the conventional wisdom is, if gator 613 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 5: gets hold of Fluffy, say goodbye to Fluffy. I would, 614 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 5: Otherwise you're gonna get dragged into the water and drowned. 615 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna be like that woman.

I'm just saying me, Yeah, this 628 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 4: is true for me, doesn't need to be true for 629 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 4: anybody else. Before I had kids, I would have said 630 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 4: I would fight an alligator to save my dog. 631 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 5: Having kids, no, I would put my kids, but not 632 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 5: the dog. And again with some famil with alligators. I 633 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 5: will tell you there are two ways people get killed 634 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 5: by gaters. Mostly Number one, some oldster is gardening two 635 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 5: clays close and slips into a lake, and the gators 636 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 5: happens to be right there and says, well, I'll be 637 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 5: damned a meal and it's just damned unfortunate. But the 638 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 5: second thing that happens a lot is the gator gets 639 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 5: Fluffy and Grandma decides she's gonna save Fluffy. 640 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: Goodbye, Fluffy, goodbye. 641 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 5: Don't walk dogs, little dogs, especially close to lakes. And Katie, 642 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 5: you know the test for whether there's a gator in 643 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 5: a lake in like Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Right, huh uh. 644 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: Go to the edge of the lake and put your 645 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: finger in the lake. Pull it out. If your finger 646 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: is wet, there's an effing gator in there. 647 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,240 Speaker 4: Now. When I was in the Everglades, there are gators 648 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 4: all over the place, like right by the bike path 649 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 4: because they had gotten me before, i'd have been able 650 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 4: to get away. 651 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 5: Right by the bike path. No, because you look enormous 652 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 5: to them. Okay anyway, So ends Gator Talk Tomorrow Tigers 653 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty
