Speaker 1: Look, you got a bigger weekend plan than I. Jeez,

8
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: if I listed my weekend it would be hilarious. Then

9
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drop him off at this thing, and then

10
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,120

Speaker 1: it best. Everybody is working for the weekend. Actually, I'm

12
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: gonna have three teenage boys Saturday night. Sam's doing a sleepover,

13
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: so that'll be it'll be fun. I don't know what

14
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: that's gonna be. It's loud. Loud, is what I'm just

15
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be challenging, would be my guess. It's going

16
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: to be challenging. I wouldn't be worried about that at all.

17
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: But his brother has got this horrible OCD situation where

18
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: he is horrified by this event of other people being

19
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: in our home, and it's just gonna be I don't know.

20
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: I haven't exactly figured out how I'm gonna make it work.

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: I met if you had a hotel room and run

22
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: back and forth or something. But anyway, how y'all do

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. And today we are under the

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: tutelage of our general manager.

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: Donald J.

26
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: Trump, who will be president Monday again. So that amazing,

27
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: It's crazy, it's insane. Why is he the general manager

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: today Monday? Obviously he will be well when we return

29
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: to work on Monday. He will be the president of

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: the United States, not untill noon.

31
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: But to what, We're all going to bed with visions

32
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: of millennious sugar plums dancing in our heads.

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: I was just a good Oh, she's famous for her

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: sugar plums. Monday at noon, the feels like is eight degrees.

35
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: So at noon when Trump becomes president, all those people

36
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: standing outside. I was at the inauguration for Trump last

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: time around, and I'm glad I'm not this time because

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to stand there in eight eight is cold.

39
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: Holy cow, that's brutal.

40
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: That'll suppress the size of the crowd, and Sean Spice

41
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: will have to come up and make clear that it

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: was actually fifty million people. I'll bet it's gonna be

43
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: a really big crowd. I'm expecting it to be enormous.

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's anybody who's going to show up

46
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: in feels like eight and stomp their feet and try

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: to stay warm, it's the good, honest folks of the

48
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: the heartland of the country.

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: People do it for freaking football games.

50
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: If you do it for a football game, you do

51
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: it for your you know, your your guy becoming president.

52
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: I assume I got a project for you.

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: I want you to start thinking on it now because

54
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: then you won't have to do it till later. I'm

55
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I want you to do this. I want you to

56
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: use your brain and rhetorical skills. Okay, I want you

57
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: to make the argument. I know you don't agree with this,

58
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: so you got to think about how the other people

59
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: think about this.

60
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: But it's driving me nuts.

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: The coverage of the billionaires being there, the three mech

62
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: richest men in the world will be sitting together at

63
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: the inauguration. Joe Biden the other night talking about an oligarchy.

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: Are we already make the argument for me? Because I

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: don't understand it at all. I want to hear you,

66
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: with your skills, make the argument for why I should

67
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: be even the slightest worried about billionaires and their wealth

68
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: and their power or anything like that. Okay, yeah, this

69
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: is I don't understand the arguments at all.

70
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: I have zero fear of this.

71
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean zero of my things I'm concerned about with

72
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: this country. How rich Elon is or Bezos is not

73
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: on my list. Yeah, I'm going to have to labor

74
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: long and hard, but I will. I will squeeze myself

75
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: inside of AOC's tight white dress and you know, metaphorically

76
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: speak mentally speaking, and try to craft that argument for you. Well,

77
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: if it'd be more comfortable, you can get into the

78
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: sensible fitting pants and probably very comfortable shoes of Bernie

79
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: Sanders and do it that way and.

80
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: His delightful homemade the mittens. Here's the other thing. So

81
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: we came up with this plan the other day.

82
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: The current confirmation hearing going on right now, Christyome of

83
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: South Dakota to be DHS secretary. We think all the

84
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Democrats should sit there with a dog in their lap,

85
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: a puppy petting a puppy's head. You're gonna shoot this dog,

86
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: Madame Governor. Yeah, well what if it barked, Oh, then

87
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: you'd better shoot it or something.

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: Huh. And And I've seen her sity, don't trust me.

89
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: Please sit she's in the room. I've seen her sitting there.

90
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: They made a mistake also, they should have had somebody

91
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: in a dog costume sitting right behind her, right over

92
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: her left shoulder, the full dog mascot costume.

93
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: I hate it, but I love it.

94
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: Now?

95
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: How far is why you go? Can it? Can it

96
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: be a dog custome with like fake blood on it?

97
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: All?

98
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: Is that too far?

99
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: I'm just picturing a congressman saying, oh, my dog just

100
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: wet the floor?

101
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: How should I handle this? Christie right?

102
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Any suggests as I shoot it? Is that what we do?

103
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: That's how we jick boom? Oh, here you go.

104
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: Just have the dog have excess for eyes sitting in

105
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: the front of.

106
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 3: You.

107
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: Think it's gonna come up in the hearing? Will somebody

108
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: bring it up? The dog? Shoot? Yes, you guaranteed? Yes,

109
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: I don't.

110
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't really have any idea of her level of

111
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: confidence or anything like that.

112
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: Zero.

113
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: I've never looked into her background or anything. She's governor

114
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: of a very very tiny steak. That doesn't mean she's

115
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: not qualified, But don't know anything about man that is

116
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: a big job. I was just listening to a run through.

117
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: That's the obviously the border, which is a huge thing.

118
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: And Trump's prop promising this deportation that everybody wants and

119
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: that will be a major thing to deal with the

120
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: secret services under the Department of Homeland Security. And they

121
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: had a rough, rough year, and so she got to

122
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: get a handle. It be torn down and rebuilt practically,

123
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: and in fact, insiders have said that very thing. It's

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: just so rotten it read it needs a rebuild, which

125
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: is a hell of a you know, fixing the airplane

126
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: while you're flying at a situation. Yeah, And then also

127
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: all kinds of different things with you know, the terrorist

128
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: attack and you had in New Orleans or the person

129
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: blowing up the tesla or whatever. It's going on, various

130
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: terrorist concerns, and that's all falls under that umbrella.

131
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: Plus disobedient dogs coast to.

132
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: Coast, right, And wonder if that's what she finds relaxing,

133
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: like if she's stressed.

134
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: Oh, no, that's too much. Somebody brings me amedient.

135
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: Dog, but that's too much. No, you cross the line there.

136
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: You're all having fun, and then you had to turn

137
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: it sick.

138
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: Did she shoot a dog or just a goat?

139
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: All?

140
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: Shot a goat. What was the cricket the dog?

141
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, which again if you don't remember, briefly, for rural people,

142
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: it's as common as anything could be for that situation

143
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: to occur. Yeah, if you have a completely out of

144
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: control farm dog, you don't take it to the pet

145
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: smart for you know, fifteen weeks of obedience training and

146
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. And maybe you should drop us

147
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: a node email mail strung email Joe at I ain't

148
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: reading it. We should start the show officially before we

149
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: get into trouble. TikTok the band happens on Sunday, but

150
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court ruling is supposed to come out any minute,

151
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: and we'll jump on that when it happens and see

152
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: what they think about that. The most interesting thing I've

153
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: come across in that discussion later in the show, cool

154
00:07:53,720 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party officials in their own words about talk

155
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: and what a great.

156
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: Tool it is for them. Wow, I want to hear that.

157
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.

158
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,800

00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: that can run over linebackers, that's awesome. I'm so oh

179
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,439

Speaker 2: of the week coming up.

184
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: Wow, that is a lot of information that we have

185
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: coming here with here's our text line four one, five,

186
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: two nine five KFTC committee that had to allow the

187
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: peace deal to go through in Israel has voted and

188
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: said yes, now it goes to the full vote, whatever

190
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: may be returned starting on Sunday, including some Americans, which

191
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: will be a good look for Trump coming into office.

192
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: Will America, because of the discomfort of our media, continue

193
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: to ignore the fact that our countrymen have been abused, tortured, beaten, raped, starved.

194
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: I yeah, yeah, sorry to turn it dark, but I

195
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: just I'm continually amazed at how the ideology of certain

196
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: newsrooms colors their coverage and interpretation of what should be

197
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: fairly straightforward.

198
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: That's the wacky thing about ideology.

199
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: Anyway, we have a great freedom loving quote of the

200
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: day coming up, plus mailbag, But right now it's time

201
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,320

00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:30,720

Speaker 1: The week and.

204
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: Working together, give me a joke. Whips of the week.

205
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: A ceasefire deal between Israel and Thomas.

206
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: Cooks credit for this mister President, you or is that

207
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 3: a joke, a security achievement carried out by al Ca Sombria?

208
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: Or remain a source of pride for our people and

209
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: our resistance, though will be passed down from generation to

210
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: generation after it struck a fatal blow to the.

211
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 4: Former Fox News anchor Pete Hagsas in the Hot Seaton.

212
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: I don't want women. I don't want moms. What's wrong

213
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: with a mom? By the way, you know what that

214
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: SuDS to me?

215
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: That you will apply with such an order you will

216
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: shoot protesters in the in the leg.

217
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: Senator, I was falsely charged.

218
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: I'm fully investigated and completely cleared. How many Senators have

219
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 4: showed up drunk to vote at night?

220
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: Have any of you guys asked him to step down

221
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: and resign for their job? That it's time to give

222
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: someone with dust on his boots the helm? Awesome? I

223
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: get bilingual protesters.

224
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 3: I think it's an injury.

225
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: Cool? What will be worried about?

226
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: Please?

227
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: You're right now? Are the child?

228
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 2: Listen? I watch I have Do not call me a child.

229
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 2: I have no child. It's like a hurricane.

230
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: Just was shooting like a blow towards like a blow

231
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: towards mother nature.

232
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: Owned us.

233
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 4: We are screaming to be properly funded to make sure

234
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 4: that our firefighters can do their jobs.

235
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 2: Did they fail you? Yes? Looking back, would you have

236
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: taken our trapwass you know? I am going to focus today,

237
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: but on what we know. Does the buck stop with you?

238
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, your governor of California, everybody that will

239
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 1: be the mayor of California.

240
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: We're all better off. We're all better off.

241
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 3: We're all better off, and we're working together.

242
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: This is what you're voted for. And if that surprises

243
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: you, you weren't paying any attention.

244
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: An oligarch is taking shape in America of extreme wealth,

245
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: power and influence that literally threads our entire democracy.

246
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: They push us super hard to take down things that

247
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: we're honestly, we're true. Now, I don't fully understand Chinese

248
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: culture at all.

249
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: Free the waiting.

250
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: Man.

251
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: No, I dak white because it's West Philly and it

252
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: tastes great good see sir, shape buddy, clients, I would feel.

253
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: By the way, outside of here, did you hear any

254
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: coverage of Mark Zuckerberg, third richest man in the world,

255
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: saying the Biden administration pressured us to take down true things.

256
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: I didn't hear it anywhere. Oh wow, I'm taking a

257
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: lot of news. I didn't hear anybody talking about it.

258
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I came across it. The Free press

259
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: was talking about it, I think on the conservative side

260
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: of things.

261
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 2: Free Beacon talked about it.

262
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: But no, no, And you know, it's incredible not to

263
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: interrupt your rant with my rant, but the fact that

264
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: members working members of the media would be like, yeah, yeah,

265
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: the first Amendment. I've heard of that. Anyway, I got

266
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: stuff to do and not have any interest in defending it. Seriously,

267
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: getting back to the theme of ideology makes you do

268
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: the equivalent of putting your hand on a hot stove burner.

269
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's crazy how.

270
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: That influences people to do things that are indefensible, insane.

271
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: So when Trump stands up and says there are the

272
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: enemies of the people, the press back there in the

273
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: back of the room.

274
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: I hate when he does that.

275
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he should do that, but that's an

276
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: outrage and the democracy is nearly over when he does that.

277
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: The Biden administration calling up one of the biggest media

278
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: mouthpieces in the world and screaming at them and threatening

279
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: their very livelihoods if they don't telling them what they

280
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: can and cannot print. And that's just not he doesn't

281
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: he make the news. I didn't hear about that. Unfrigginunbelievable.

282
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: That's why we come in everything and do what we do.

283
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: I guess here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

284
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: I love this sit along by alert listener Joe. Thanks Joe.

285
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: He's quoting the Federalists number seventy. There was a concept

286
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: of multiple executives, not a president a president, but two

287
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: or three I guess, kind of co presidents of council,

288
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: if you will. And in Federalist seventy they wrote, one

289
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: of the weightiest objections to the plurality in the executive

290
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: is that it tends to conceal, false and destroy responsibility.

291
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: And Joe writes, in the modern age of bureaucracy, exemplified

292
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: by the ongoing California fire crisis, the ability to identify

293
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: who is responsible is made incredibly vague. KJP gets to

294
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: direct questions to another suboffice of the executive to avoid answering.

295
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom says, the buck will not say. The buck

296
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: stops with them. We have built an absurd bureaucracy that

297
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: has so many officers doing multiple jobs. Who is responsible

298
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: for managing disasters in this country? It's supposed to be

299
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: the president, governor's mayors, but they will never admit to it.

300
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: That's an excellent point, Joe, and well said, mail Bag.

301
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: Wood Wood.

302
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: You may drop us a line anytime, mail Bag at

303
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty dot com. Let's see Michael missus Katie's

304
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: meme of the day in sand along his own Michael

305
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,359
Speaker 1: in Washington. It is a brightly colored, beautaflate painted rainbow

306
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: fire hydrant, and the caption is there's no water, but

307
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: look how pretty it is. Beautiful, beautiful, devastating. Dave writes, Hey, guys,

308
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: speaking of the hot cabinet picks, could Pam or Christi

309
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: be the new Ginger or Mary Anne? Oh see, that's

310
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: the sort of sexist tribe we don't need on this show. Dave,

311
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: do better, be better. That's a tough Marianne. Clearly, by

312
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: the way, all night long, Let's see where were we?

313
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: Eh?

314
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:44,760

Speaker 2: Katie and Joe are right.

318

Speaker 1: You're from an isolated tribe that throws spears at airplanes

319
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,760

Speaker 2: I like that. That's funny. I would never forget it.

337
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: No, that's fantastic, right, yeah, And we got this text

338
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: here at the radio station. I got awarded a ticket

339
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: for the inauguration. I know you went four years ago,

340
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: actually eight years ago for Trump's first term. I was

341
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: wondering if you could talk about the sequit, what it

342
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: was like to be there. I'm very excited to experience this.

343
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: I got my ticket from Adam Shipp of all people interesting.

344
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: I'll also be attending Trump's victory parade at the Capitol

345
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: one Center. It's gonna be real cold, but you know,

346
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Eight degrees That feels like

347
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: at noon And you got to get there pretty dang

348
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: early to deal with the lines and the security and

349
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: everything like that.

350
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: And imagine this. What do you mean by that, like

351
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: an hour early, three hours early?

352
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know where they're going to be sitting,

353
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 1: so it depends on that. I was up close with

354
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: like a lot of the you know, congress people's families

355
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: and stuff like that.

356
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 2: All right, I got there several hours.

357
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: Before the things started, and the thing is very long,

358
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: but man, you got you gotta you got it. It's

359
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: an all day sucker, no doubt. But I really cool experience.

360
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: From my standpoint, I just thought it was freaking amazing.

361
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to do it every year. I remember

362
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: when I was walking in, I ran into David Drucker,

363
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: who we used to have on the air all the time.

364
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: He's now at the Dispatch, was writing for the Washington

365
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: Examiner at the time. I ran into him coming out.

366
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: I said, hey, why are you going that way? He said,

367
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: I leave on inauguration Day. It's my least favorite day

368
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: of any four years in DC. But he lived there

369
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: because it's just such a crush of people. But I

370
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: assume you're there for the festivity of Hey, Trump's president now,

371
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: and you're excited about that.

372
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: The inauguration will be fun, and then.

373
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Afterwards there will be hundreds of thousands of people that

374
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: almost all of them agreeing with you politically, packing the bars,

375
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: restaurants and coffee shops, and that'll be a festive time.

376
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: It's like being at a ballgame and all you know

377
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: in your home and your a home game, and everybody's

378
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: rooting for your team.

379
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: That's what it's That's what it'll feel like.

380
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, like in a giant college town or yeah, one

381
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: hundred and ten thousand fans and everybody else wishes they

382
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: had a ticket. Yeah, yeah, did they have porta pottis there?

383
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: As an older man asking for a friend, I remember

384
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: lots and lots of porta potties yes. Can you imagine

385
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: it's whatever, what's what's the actual temperature going to be?

386
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: Do you remember it's obviously.

387
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: Very cold twenty one with someone case, it's twenty one

388
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: degrees and you're a gal and you really need to

389
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: relieve yourself. Can you imagine sitting down on a twenty

390
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: one degree porta potty toilet seat, a karamba? Many you can't.

391
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: I know, people who live and work there get jaded

392
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: to the whole thing. But if you're a regular person,

393
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: you're freaking watching a next president of the United States.

394
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: We've only had forty seven, and you're looking around and

395
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: you can see the you know, the Lincoln Monument down there,

396
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: and the Lincoln Memorial in the Washington Monument and all

397
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. I mean, it's historic, and the

398
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: capital behind the person. It's it's you feel like you're

399
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: part of history.

400
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah.

401
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: And I think even if people don't intellectualize it, I

402
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: think they feel in their bones the fact that this

403
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: mighty a nation engages in a peaceful transfer of power

404
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: every four years is a miracle. It's if you were

405
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: to tell the rulers or the common people of old,

406
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: they would be astonished. Katie before we move on. You

407
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: wanted to rule in on sitting on a porta potti

408
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: seat when it's twenty degrees outside.

409
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 2: Sounds like hell?

410
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: What you would be You would be concerned for the

411
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: health of your cheeks. Absolutely, frostfit and cheeks is no joke.

412
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: Oh you could be thinking, I'll never I'll never be

413
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: able to have children. Now, good lifelong damager. Yes, exactly, Well,

414
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: you certainly wouldn't want to wear a song on the

415
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: beach if you had like toilet seat shapes cars on

416
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: your cheeks from the frost fight.

417
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: Man, so different topic.

418
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: Uh, I have God, says the entire audience in unison.

419
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: I wanted Joe to make an argument for why I

420
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: should be worried about the billionaires and being at the

421
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: inauguration and being too close to Trump and whatever. This

422
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: oligarchy that Biden warned us about the other night. Bernie

423
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: talked about this lesson yesterday with the Treasury Secretary or

424
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: some one of your confirmation hearings.

425
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: There's Bernie Sanders. We don't talk about this enough.

426
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 3: And that is when you got three people on top

427
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: wealth than the bottom half of American society one hundred

428
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: and seventy million people, you know what, that's oligocky. When

429
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 3: you have massive concentration of ownership in our economy, fewer

430
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: and fewer corporations owning and controlling the economy, that's oligocky.

431
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 3: When you have more and more billion ares, whether it's

432
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: Musk owning Twitter or Murdoch owning Fox, or other billion

433
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: ass owning newspapers, that's oligocky as I standards.

434
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: She didn't want to say bezos in the Washington Post

435
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: because they're on your.

436
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 2: Side, right Ryan, Yeah, the who's another conservative Murdoch? Yeah,

437
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: that's it? So well in what way?

438
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: Well, what's the argument for there shouldn't be billionaires? They've

439
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: got too much money? This is an oligarchy. I will

440
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: tell you this a couple of things. Number One, if

441
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: you are, if you hope to be a serious person,

442
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: a person who of you it is said, I don't

443
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: always agree with him or her, but their point of

444
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: view is always worth taking in. You need to be

445
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: able to steal man the other side's argument, the opposite

446
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: of a straw man, where you construct a ridiculous parody

447
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: of their argument that knock it down and feel all manly.

448
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: You see it all the time, and it works. You've

449
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 2: got to he dismissed it.

450
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, after a rough day, nothing I

451
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: like better than beating the hell out of a straw man.

452
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: But you know, you've got to construct a very strong argument,

453
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: as they would make it. I've got to admit, I'm

454
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: finding this argument, this assignment, very, very difficult, because I

455
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: find the argument's weak. What I would say is similar

456
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: to Bernie. You have that much concentrated wealth and power

457
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: in a few people with a direct connection line to

458
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: the presidency and the entire executive branch, they will become

459
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: a star chamber of the ultra wealthy, directing US policy

460
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: to their whims.

461
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I did a good job. Evidently you

462
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: know my argument. How would you stop?

463
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: How would you first of all, how would you stop

464
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: the possibility of that? How would you limit the possibility

465
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: of that anyway within the Bill of Rights? Oh no, no,

466
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: it can't be done. There are a couple of like,

467
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: really good counter arguments against that.

468
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: Even if you.

469
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: Admit that it's true. One, what are you gonna do

470
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: about it? If your net worth is more than fifty

471
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: million dollars? You don't get to petition the government for

472
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: a redress of grievances.

473
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: Right, or you're not allowed to talk to your senator

474
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 2: or the president.

475
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: And speaking of visiting Washington, DC, if you ever strode

476
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: along K Street and seen all the beautiful, shiny buildings

477
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: that are full of lobbyists, that sort of thing is

478
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: already happening in spades every single day. Obviously because of

479
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: our bent, it's just so much easier to take the

480
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: other side of this. They're statistically first of all, just

481
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: start here. There are more billionaires that donate to Democrats

482
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: than there are donate to Republicans. That's just an unknown fact.

483
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: So and Bernie's against that. In his defense, he is

484
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: utterly misguided. But Bernie Sanders is sincere true. Bernie is

485
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: a socialist. He doesn't think billionaires should exist. That is

486
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: a nut job attitude. But Biden is fine with the

487
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: Democrat billionaires. He isn't like conservative billionaires. Oh yeah, complete

488
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: four one billionaires switch teams, because a lot of times

489
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: billionaires are just going with whichever direction see Zuckerberg, maybe

490
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: whichever direction. Okay, they're in power, let's make them happy,

491
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: which you know is not a bad business model. But

492
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: first of all, it's a lot like we mock if

493
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be one hundred degrees, everybody gets all

494
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: excited as.

495
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: Opposed to ninety eight. It's just a round number.

496
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why somebody whose net worth is nine

497
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: hundred million is to do what you want to do.

498
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: But once you hit a billion, you're all of a

499
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: sudden suspect I got a kill you. You've got a

500
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: billion dollars.

501
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: I mean that just seems like so if you got five.

502
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: Guys in the front row that each have three hundred

503
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: million dollars, don't need to think about them.

504
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: It's two billionaires over there. Just that's just silly. Yeah, yeah,

505
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: you know, I think this is this is.

506
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: My final word on this, and it's a very handy

507
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: thing to keep in your intellectual back pocket to bust

508
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: out in case of emergency. And that is Jefferson's famous declaration,

509
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: not of independence, but that he would rather attend to

510
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: the problems of too much liberty than too little. And

511
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: there are so many things like the billionaire argument, because

512
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's reasonable to say, look, you got

513
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: people with incredible wealth and power. They can direct the

514
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: government in ways not foreseen by the constitution. It's absolutely true.

515
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: But the cure would be worse than the disease. It's

516
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: it's a you know, to unfortunately bring up Christinome again.

517
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: My dog Baxter, God bless him, still hanging on. He's

518
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: He's a fabulous dog. He's very bright, he's very willful.

519
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: He is like a disobedient child. He will get away

520
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: with what he can. And you know, when I'm in

521
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: the room, he's good. But at the minute I walk

522
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,959
Speaker 1: out of the room, he's like eight, the bus is gone. Anyway,

523
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: I could certainly eliminate a lot of those problems by

524
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: shooting my dog like I'm Christino. It would absolutely, one

525
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent cure those problems.

526
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: Billionaires, I'm follow you.

527
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: No, no, no, what am I Luigi the psychopathic lunatic?

528
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: No I am not.

529
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 3: No.

530
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is, gosh, it would be nice to

531
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: not have those problems. But if the cure violates your

532
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: fundamental beliefs, then you got to find another way. You've

533
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: either got to live with it or be more clever

534
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: about curing it. And one of the great sick tendencies

535
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: of the left, especially but not exclusively the left, especially

536
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: if you want to look at history, but one of

537
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: their sick tendencies is to say this is a problem,

538
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: and this is a solution to that problem. Therefore we

539
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: must do it. And the idea that we don't get

540
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: to do that, we need to just put up with

541
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: it or help a little bit. We don't to give

542
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: ourselves the power to cure that quote unquote problem would

543
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: make us monsters. I'm not sure a lot of the

544
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: media even has an argument. They just think that because

545
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: I've seen a fair amount of news coverage where it's

546
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: just Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, will all three

547
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: be attending the inauguration on Monday. There are the three

548
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: richest men in the world, and they plan to sit

549
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: together and they kind of look at you like, huh,

550
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: isn't that scary? But with no follow up is why

551
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: it would be in any way? I don't right, it's

552
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: just appealing to like not spelled out prejudices. It's like

553
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: if you're in a group of racists and somebody brings

554
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: up a black man, for instance, and somebody says something

555
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: disparaging about them. Nobody says, all right, now, let's have

556
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: a discussion of the positive and negative aspects of that

557
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: person's character.

558
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: And whether that was deserved or not.

559
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: No, they'll just snicker because they're racists, and that's the

560
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: way it is. It's just a tribal signaling thing. I

561
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: think they're way wrong on this. I think most people

562
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: admire billionaires, wish they could be a billionaire.

563
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: Think it's cool. Imagine what it'd be like to be

564
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: a billionaire.

565
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: I know there is a crowd college students or whatever

566
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: college professors who are just the term billionaire. The idea

567
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: of a billionaire makes them sick. But I think that's

568
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: like a tiny percentage of the country, don't you.

569
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: I would agree, I do. I think most people are

570
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 2: bothered by it.

571
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: The politics of envy is incredibly powerful too. But yeah,

572
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: I think, and this is crazy. Maybe you want to

573
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: jot this down. If a billionaire does something good, why

574
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: don't you say that's good? And if they do something bad,

575
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: say that's bad. And I don't like it.

576
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: We'll go from there, all right.

577
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: They're elon trying to rein in the shocking, sprawling, idiotic

578
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: growth of the federal bureaucracies.

579
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: That's great. Yeah, and care what his net worth is?

580
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: I think it should be pointed out more that the one, two,

581
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: and three richest people in the world are all Americans

582
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: who made their goal of it from scratch in the

583
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: United States of America. Because you can wow, great point.

584
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 1: We have got Katie's headlines on the way stay here now.

585
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: A lot of days we.

586
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: Come in hot, really good stuff first hour, then fizzle

587
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: out the next three hours, just fairly hanging on.

588
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: But today we have good stuff coming up.

589
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I am so excited to get to the Chinese

590
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: Communist Party in their own words talking about how important

591
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: TikTok is.

592
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 2: This is by a thousand miles.

593
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: The most significant relevant thing you will hear about the

594
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: TikTok discussion, which has mostly been useless in the era

595
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: of to end or inaccurate plus ripped out of I mean,

596
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: it's like too good to be real.

597
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: It's like from a suspense movie.

598
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: A woman making a nine to one one call and

599
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: the clever operator how do I don't want to give

600
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: away too much, enabled her to describe what was going

601
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: on in front of the bad guy without the bad

602
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: guy knowing. They conducted a two way ruse, this clever

603
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: nine to one one operator and the victim compelling stuff

604
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: next hour. The Supreme Court is supposed to rule on

605
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: the TikTok thing today, So maybe that'll happen while we're

606
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: on the air and we can misinterpret it and rail certainly.

607
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 2: Also, Trump just got off the phone with She.

608
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was one of your headlines,

609
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: but Trump talked to She this morning, I guess, and

610
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: I imagine we'll get details on what their conversation was about.

611
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 2: That's what she said.

612
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the league story

613
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: with Katie Green.

614
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 4: Katie, I'm starting with CNN as rarely security Cabinet approves

615
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 4: ceasefire and hostage deal.

616
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, belatedly puts and now let's hope a few

617
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: belieguered souls are released before it all falls apart, because

618
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: it will.

619
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: From the Washington Post.

620
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 4: Trump selections for top jobs advanced despite initial controversy.

621
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's always it's always like this. It's mostly

622
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: made up. Mostly, it's mostly made up. The controversy an

623
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: attempt to get clicks, or they overvalue how interesting these.

624
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:38,440
