Okay, I want you 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.400 to make the argument. I know you don't agree with this, 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.239 so you got to think about how the other people 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:10.880 think about this. 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.560 But it's driving me nuts. 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.280 The coverage of the billionaires being there, the three mech 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.120 richest men in the world will be sitting together at 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:24.320 the inauguration. Joe Biden the other night talking about an oligarchy. 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.959 Are we already make the argument for me? Because I 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.079 don't understand it at all. I want to hear you, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.080 with your skills, make the argument for why I should 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.600 be even the slightest worried about billionaires and their wealth 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:40.000 and their power or anything like that. Okay, yeah, this 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.240 is I don't understand the arguments at all. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.200 I have zero fear of this. 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.720 I mean zero of my things I'm concerned about with 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.120 this country.

I will squeeze myself 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:04.720 inside of AOC's tight white dress and you know, metaphorically 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.600 speak mentally speaking, and try to craft that argument for you. Well, 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.440 if it'd be more comfortable, you can get into the 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.400 sensible fitting pants and probably very comfortable shoes of Bernie 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.280 Sanders and do it that way and. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:20.560 His delightful homemade the mittens.

I watch I have Do not call me a child. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.719 I have no child. It's like a hurricane. 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.240 Just was shooting like a blow towards like a blow 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.320 towards mother nature. 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:06.560 Owned us. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:11.079 We are screaming to be properly funded to make sure 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:12.960 that our firefighters can do their jobs. 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:18.439 Did they fail you? Yes? Looking back, would you have 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:23.120 taken our trapwass you know? I am going to focus today, 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.280 but on what we know. Does the buck stop with you? 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.480 I mean, hey, your governor of California, everybody that will 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:31.599 be the mayor of California. 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:33.960 We're all better off. We're all better off. 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.480 We're all better off, and we're working together. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.440 This is what you're voted for. And if that surprises 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:40.840 you, you weren't paying any attention. 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.240 An oligarch is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.920 power and influence that literally threads our entire democracy. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.120 They push us super hard to take down things that 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:58.080 we're honestly, we're true. Now, I don't fully understand Chinese 0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:59.560 culture at all. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.000 Free the waiting. 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:04.120 Man. 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.240 No, I dak white because it's West Philly and it 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:11.040 tastes great good see sir, shape buddy, clients, I would feel. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.400 By the way, outside of here, did you hear any 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:21.040 coverage of Mark Zuckerberg, third richest man in the world, 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.440 saying the Biden administration pressured us to take down true things. 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:30.599 I didn't hear it anywhere. Oh wow, I'm taking a 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.679 lot of news. I didn't hear anybody talking about it. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.440 I'm pretty sure I came across it. The Free press 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.360 was talking about it, I think on the conservative side 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:40.640 of things. 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:41.680 Free Beacon talked about it. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:45.120 But no, no, And you know, it's incredible not to 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.760 interrupt your rant with my rant, but the fact that 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.199 members working members of the media would be like, yeah, yeah, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.360 the first Amendment. I've heard of that. Anyway, I got 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:58.120 stuff to do and not have any interest in defending it. Seriously, 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:02.160 getting back to the theme of ideology makes you do 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.960 the equivalent of putting your hand on a hot stove burner. 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.199 I mean, it's just it's crazy how. 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.720 That influences people to do things that are indefensible, insane. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:13.800 So when Trump stands up and says there are the 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.040 enemies of the people, the press back there in the 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:16.600 back of the room. 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:17.520 I hate when he does that. 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.360 I don't think he should do that, but that's an 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.200 outrage and the democracy is nearly over when he does that. 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.960 The Biden administration calling up one of the biggest media 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.400 mouthpieces in the world and screaming at them and threatening 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.080 their very livelihoods if they don't telling them what they 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.800 can and cannot print. And that's just not he doesn't 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:40.160 he make the news. I didn't hear about that. Unfrigginunbelievable. 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.200 That's why we come in everything and do what we do. 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.760 I guess here's your freedom loving quote of the day. 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.240 I love this sit along by alert listener Joe. Thanks Joe. 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:53.440 He's quoting the Federalists number seventy. There was a concept 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:58.600 of multiple executives, not a president a president, but two 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.760 or three I guess, kind of co presidents of council, 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:06.880 if you will. And in Federalist seventy they wrote, one 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.560 of the weightiest objections to the plurality in the executive 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.960 is that it tends to conceal, false and destroy responsibility. 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.200 And Joe writes, in the modern age of bureaucracy, exemplified 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.760 by the ongoing California fire crisis, the ability to identify 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.920 who is responsible is made incredibly vague. KJP gets to 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.440 direct questions to another suboffice of the executive to avoid answering. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.360 Gavin Newsom says, the buck will not say. The buck 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.200 stops with them. We have built an absurd bureaucracy that 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.080 has so many officers doing multiple jobs. Who is responsible 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.200 for managing disasters in this country? It's supposed to be 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.880 the president, governor's mayors, but they will never admit to it. 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.400 That's an excellent point, Joe, and well said, mail Bag. 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:51.560 Wood Wood. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.960 You may drop us a line anytime, mail Bag at 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:58.400 Armstrong and Getty dot com. Let's see Michael missus Katie's 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.680 meme of the day in sand along his own Michael 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:05.359 in Washington. It is a brightly colored, beautaflate painted rainbow 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:09.320 fire hydrant, and the caption is there's no water, but 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:19.080 look how pretty it is. Beautiful, beautiful, devastating. Dave writes, Hey, guys, 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.760 speaking of the hot cabinet picks, could Pam or Christi 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:25.120 be the new Ginger or Mary Anne? Oh see, that's 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.320 the sort of sexist tribe we don't need on this show. Dave, 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:32.880 do better, be better. That's a tough Marianne. Clearly, by 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.680 the way, all night long, Let's see where were we? 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:37.800 Eh? 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:44.760 Zabo Rights, semi frequent correspondent, Zabo Jack, you've never tasted 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.440 strawberry ice cream?

And it's like a Polarid 0:16:54.800 --> 0:17:00.120 camera is stolen your soul throw the spears at airplane. 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.080 That's pretty funny. 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:06.639 And we don't have time for uh Augie who actually 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.720 saw you in the parking lot of the radio ranch. 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.960 He was at the ranch to do some technical work 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.520 and was going to ask you to see your pie 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:14.119 eating fork. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.520 She always have it threat happily showed it to you. 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.200 Biden just did a bunch of more pardons and commutations 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:21.879 we should tell you about on the way out. 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:23.840 The door Artrong and getty. 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.560 Childish joke on the One More Thing podcast the other 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.080 day featuring a common expression. Somebody texted me. Friend of 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.960 mine texted me, actually this morning, if I owned a 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:40.440 doggy daycare, I'd call it these Months. That's a pretty 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:40.840 good name. 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.360 I like that. That's funny. I would never forget it. 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.880 No, that's fantastic, right, yeah, And we got this text 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.600 here at the radio station. I got awarded a ticket 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.480 for the inauguration. I know you went four years ago, 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.240 actually eight years ago for Trump's first term. I was 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.560 wondering if you could talk about the sequit, what it 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.080 was like to be there. I'm very excited to experience this. 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.600 I got my ticket from Adam Shipp of all people interesting. 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.640 I'll also be attending Trump's victory parade at the Capitol 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:15.240 one Center. It's gonna be real cold, but you know, 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.439 what are you gonna do? Eight degrees That feels like 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.040 at noon And you got to get there pretty dang 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.280 early to deal with the lines and the security and 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:23.840 everything like that. 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:25.720 And imagine this. What do you mean by that, like 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:27.520 an hour early, three hours early? 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.600 Well, I don't know where they're going to be sitting, 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.959 so it depends on that.

I remember 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:53.760 when I was walking in, I ran into David Drucker, 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:55.240 who we used to have on the air all the time. 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.720 He's now at the Dispatch, was writing for the Washington 0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.920 Examiner at the time. I ran into him coming out. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:01.720 I said, hey, why are you going that way? He said, 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.920 I leave on inauguration Day. It's my least favorite day 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.880 of any four years in DC. But he lived there 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.520 because it's just such a crush of people.
