1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty. 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Yetta and he. 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 3: Arms Strong and Yetty before Yes, you have no memory 5 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 3: of it, which is understandable because we were wasted. 6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 4: Okay, I light a cigarette and I'm smoking it and 7 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 4: you stop and you come over to me and you 8 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 4: grab it and you crinkle it and you go, these 9 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 4: things will kill you. 10 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: And you threw it. 11 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 4: And then I and I go, uh, I go, dude, 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 4: I go, I'm not. 13 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: Rich, You're rich.

Yeah, and see it. 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 4: And then ten minutes later you come back with a 19 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 4: fresh pack of parliaments and you hand them to me 20 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 4: and you go here, and I go, that was really sweet. 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: You want me to die? Guttfeld on Jimmy Fallons Show. 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,639 Speaker 1: That is a great comedy bit at the expensive Fallon. 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: So stories we've got to talk about today. We got 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: to talk about Trump's plan to allow four to one 25 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: k plans to use crypto or have crypto in them, 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: which is kind of interesting, and then factors into another 27 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: crypto story that I want to get to. 28 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: Also, one of Biden's top aides, who I've hated forever, 29 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: Anita Dunne, testified yesterday about Biden's cognitive decline in ways 30 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: that we've not heard before. It's pretty interesting stuff. 31 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: Interesting. Which of those folks take the fifth and which 32 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: don't because several of them have not. 33 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, why would you take the fifth? 34 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: One is aiding and betting a mummy a crime? I mean, 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: what are you protecting yourself against? Exactly? I don't know. 36 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: I had another good tease I wanted to do. Oh 37 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: so the whole putin Trump Zelensky summit thing. I heard 38 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: the funniest commentary from the London Telegraph on that yesterday. 39 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: I heard the guy say, I believe he was talking 40 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: about this possible somebody. He said, I believe the nothing 41 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: chefs are getting there. Nothing Spatul is out and getting 42 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: the grilled but nothing grill hot so they can serve 43 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: their nothing burger Delightsul's done. And then one more tease 44 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: if I might, And I'm not sure when we'll get 45 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: to this, but make sure I do. 46 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: Somebody. Uh Jack did a fabulous job the other day, 47 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: ate it, and I betted by myself in highlighting how 48 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: badly and without context the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 49 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: have been taught for years and years and years, specifically 50 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: leaving out the millions and millions and millions of people, 51 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: including hundreds of thousands a month, that the Japanese war 52 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: machine was killing as we dropped those bombs. Those bombs 53 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: stopped many, many, many times more killing than they caused. 54 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: But that's left out of the progressive experiment because I'm 55 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: sorry the progressive description progressive history, because they've taken over 56 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: our institutions of learning over the last fifty years or so. Anyway, 57 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: in that same way, one of my favorite incidents in 58 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: fairly modern American history, the so called Scopes Monkey trial, 59 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: very different perspective on that. You remember that was the 60 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: Tennessee teacher who was prosecuted for teaching the theory of evolution. 61 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: I don't know enough about that story. I should do 62 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: a deep dive on that sometime I read a book 63 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: or watch a documentary or something. 64 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: Oh, stay tuned, I'll bore you to tears. So anyway 65 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: that's coming up, stay with us. Totally different topic, the 66 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: whole hilarious kind of jerrymander thing that's been going on. Specifically, 67 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: Texas announces it's going to midway between the censuses redistrict, 68 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: therefore creating more Republican seats and fewer Democratic seats. You've 69 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: probably been following the story Democrats walked out in Texas. 70 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: They went to the most gerrymandered state in America, Illinois, 71 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: to protest it. Blah blah blah. Even if Texas goes 72 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: through with the plan, they'll still be way over gerrymandered 73 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: by a couple of Democratic states, and everybody's doing it. 74 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: And it's just another example of for better or worse, 75 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: Democrats abandoning certain norms for a long time, Republicans shouting 76 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: that you must not abandon these norms and losing, and 77 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: the Republicans finally saying, to hell with the norms, We're 78 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: gonna fight fire with fire. I might like that and 79 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: think is about damn time. Or you might think, well, 80 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: this is really unfortunate and now where we have no norms, 81 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: whatever point of view, you have, the idea that the 82 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: Republicans are leading the way towards some sort of new 83 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: gerrymandering craze is just silly. It's changed a little bit. Anyway, 84 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: I would love to see something done about it. Here's 85 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: the interesting person. 86 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: There are other examples of norms going away where maybe 87 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: the Republicans started it, But either way, we keep doing this. 88 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: It's a race to the bottom on all of our norms. Yeah, 89 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 2: I would say, and it's troubling and it won't end well, 90 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 2: but I don't know what to do about it. So anyway, 91 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: I thought this was super interesting. 92 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: The always insightful Kim Strassel of The Wall Street Journal, 93 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: pointing out, here's the Democrats, furious that Republicans might do 94 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: what Democrats do, erupted in feigned outrage, condemning a partisan, 95 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: craven political power grab attempted by the President of the 96 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: United States lords of Massachusetts Governor Or A. Heally. If 97 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: left at that, Kim rights, Republicans would probably have contained 98 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: their cynical jeremandering ambitions to Texas and maybe even suffered 99 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: voter blowback for the partisan move. The left's mistake was 100 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: to take the dare and escalate. Gaviy Newsome and other 101 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: Democratic governors fanned out to declare that they had no 102 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: choice but to redraw their own lines, and Kim points out, 103 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: it's a mystery what Democrats thought they'd accomplished beyond provoking 104 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: Republicans to escalate further. And the problem is and the 105 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: irony is delicious, and this makes me a bad person, 106 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: if you needed any further proof of that. In the 107 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: nationwide redistricting race, Democrats don't have much running room. They've 108 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: already redistricted the dickens out of their states. They're so 109 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: jerry mandered already beyond where the Republicans are right now. 110 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: They have no headroom. 111 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 2: Right and the worst. 112 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: Thinking you can do is get into a redistrict acting war, 113 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: because the Republicans have been much more restrained, not restrained, 114 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: but more restrained. 115 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: Like I said yesterday, Colbert pointed that out to the 116 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: governor of Illinois on his show the other night, which 117 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: I appreciate even for Colbert. As Mark Alpern wrote yesterday, 118 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: the media continues to make heroes out of the Democrats 119 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: who are talking about redistricting Texas. I'll continue to say 120 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: Mark Alprin said, if you're outraged about what Texas is doing, 121 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: you should have been outraged about what Illinois did, Outraged 122 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: about what New York did outraged about what California did 123 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: a long time ago. There's no mention of that in 124 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 2: like the NPR coverage, the CBS evening news coverage at all, 125 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: not at all. Do they not know that's possible? They 126 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: don't know. 127 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: Is it ignorance or bias? I don't know, I do 128 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: not know, probably both. So a couple more factoids. Consider 129 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: New Jersey, where Democrats controlled nine of twelve congressional seats 130 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: despite forty five percent of House votes going to Republicans. 131 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: In Illinois, it's fourteen of seventeen seats, though Democrats one 132 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: only fifty three percent of the vote, fourteen out of 133 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: seventeen when they barely win half of the total votes. Oregon, 134 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: Democrats own five of the six seats despite a GOP 135 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: vote of forty two percent. Or Miss Haley's Massachusetts, where 136 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: Democrats control all nine congressional seats. 137 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: It's so easy to do. I mean, surely you all 138 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: understand this. You take a chunk of Oregon, for instance, 139 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 2: and you draw a district that has a little bit 140 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: of Portland which has a very dense population, and a 141 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: whole bunch of rural which has a very light population. 142 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: To make sure that there are more blues in that 143 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 2: segment than there are reds. And then you've dominated that 144 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: whole chunk of red that will have a blue House member. 145 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: And then you call you. 146 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: Flushed away those red votes, those Republican votes. 147 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 2: You carve up Portland or Eugene, whatever liberal dense areas 148 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 2: you want to, and just put enough blues spread into 149 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: the red districts to dominate them. And that that's what 150 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 2: they did in calip That's what they've done in Illinois. 151 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: It's awful. It shouldn't happen anywhere. It shouldn't happen in 152 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: Texas and the reverse. But I don't know if we're 153 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: ever going to be able to stop it. 154 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: So final note, here's a bit of math provided by 155 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee that shows how effective the 156 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: party's been at jerrymandering. Starting with Democratic state legislative majorities. 157 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. States with Democratic state legislative majorities currently control 158 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: the lines for about thirty five GOP seats, So the 159 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: Democrats could mess with about thirty five GOP seats. That's 160 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: all that's left after their aggressive maps. By contrast, Republican 161 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: state legislative majorities control the lines for fifty five Democratic seats. 162 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,359 Speaker 1: The difference is the GOP advantage in the war, Democrats 163 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: have escalated whoops, so fifty five to twenty five. As 164 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: the race to the bottom continues. 165 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: It's very frustrating. I don't know if there's any fixing this. 166 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 2: And again, there was an Ego poll the other day 167 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: six percent approval for jerrymandering. People don't like it in 168 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: general for obvious reasons. But it's one of those things 169 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 2: that I don't know if we have a well I 170 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 2: suppose we do have a democratic way to fix it, 171 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: but boy, you'd have to have a really informed population 172 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: paying attention and people running for office that yeah, I 173 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 2: just don't see it happen. 174 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: Well, it would have to be passed in the House 175 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: of Representatives, unless the Supreme Court could because the Supreme 176 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: Court has ruled on redistricting and jerry mandering before, but unfortunately, 177 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: the most important ruling was so completely muddled nobody has 178 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: any idea what it means to this very day. But 179 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: the problem is, and if you gave me and a 180 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: handful of people I chose, a couple of weeks, we 181 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: could come up with a pretty damned rock solid constitutional fair, 182 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: sane set of standards for the setting of congressional districts. 183 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm confident we could. But then it would go to 184 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: the House of Representative to be voted on, which is 185 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: hilarious where all the jerrymander does safe district people reside 186 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: and they'd be like, what, this may be the single 187 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: last thing in the universe that we would vote in 188 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: favor of. 189 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: Have you seen the video of the flight where the 190 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: phone chargers started smoking in the I have ah that 191 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 2: would freak me out. 192 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: I would think it was a transatlantic Atlantic flight too, 193 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: so you would be, uh, thank you, this is very bad. 194 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would be preparing myself mentally for 195 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: it to be over.

Right, 240 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: So there's that good news. I guess we now know 241 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 2: who's throwing marital aids on the floor of w NBA courts. 242 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: Turns out it's a crypto group. There was one in 243 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: getting tension for their cryptocurrency. An anonymous spokesman for the 244 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: group that reportedly goes by at daldo d A L 245 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: d O on social media that some crypto creators who 246 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 2: had a meme coin called I don't use this word, 247 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: don't don't bother green d word coin is the name 248 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: of their goodness point. Their crypto coin, and so they're 249 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: throwing green d words on the court. 250 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: That whole crypto coin and yeah, I know, Trump did it, 251 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: the whole meme coin thing, where you just run it 252 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: up the flagpoles, people speculate, try to get in and 253 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: out and make a profit before it inevitably crashes, and 254 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: it will the people who launched it make money, and 255 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: then it crashes and a bunch of people lose their 256 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: money and then it's never spoken of again. 257 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: This is one of those. Okay, so that combined with 258 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: this story. Trump order clear an order from yesterday that 259 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: he signed clears the way for crypto and private equity 260 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 2: and four one ks. I didn't actually know that my 261 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: four one k couldn't include crypto. I hadn't really looked 262 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: at it, but I guess, yeah, I guess that's not 263 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 2: an option. But we'll be in the future if this 264 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: goes through. And of course there's all kinds of concern 265 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 2: that his family is now involved in crypto and it's 266 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: got something to do with that, or sometimes crypto goes south, 267 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 2: as Joe just explaining, people lose their money. Well, that's 268 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 2: your choice. Don't put your four one k in crypto 269 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 2: if you think it's too dangerous. 270 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: But if then you have no money as an ulster, 271 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna come yelling that you need more benefits, right right. 272 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: Thus is the problem, Thus the problem with socialism. If 273 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 2: we're gonna bail out people who put all their four 274 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,239 Speaker 2: o one kne crypto and don't have anything left. 275 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: Then yeah, you know, not every slope is slippery, jack, 276 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: but the slope of socialism slipperer. 277 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 2: Than wells not very slippery. Yeah, you can slide down 278 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: the slope of socialism. I don't care if you're four 279 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 2: hundred pounds. It's there for you. Oh, it's there for 280 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 2: everyone when you hit bottom. 281 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: By gosh, I haven't figured out how the end this, 282 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: but anyway, Ah, So that's enough of that. 283 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 2: Is Trump going to meet with Putin in like just 284 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: a couple of days, as is being claimed by some 285 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: or not? God would that God if he comes out 286 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: of a meeting, if he meets with Putin and then 287 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: comes out and says, we had a fantastic talk, We've 288 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: discussed many things, and acts like, I don't know what 289 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: to think about that. 290 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. If the whole thing is fraught with bad will, 291 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: bad faith, dishonesty, manipulation, cruelty and debt. 292 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: Well, which is fine if Putin tries that. And Trump 293 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 2: has reached the end of the road of credibility, but 294 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if he has. 295 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: I hope so. 296 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty, we have a lot to get to today. 297 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 2: There are way too many things going on. As Joe 298 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: started the show with, the two wars were sort of 299 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 2: involved with have had a major inflection point in the 300 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 2: last twenty four hours. So more on that later. 301 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: So one of the big stupid stories of recent days 302 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: has been the fake reversy over Sydney Sweeney's jeans commercial 303 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: for American Eagle Outfitters, the white supremacist jeans Jack is wearing. 304 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 2: That might be my new favorite pair of jeans, Like 305 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 2: I really like them, partially because they promote eugenics. 306 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, well don't we all. So that was one of 307 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: the key words that was discussed as the fake progressive 308 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: outrage was mostly laughed at by America, which I think 309 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: is the important part of the story. Honestly true, the 310 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: reaction wasn't Corporation's running recover and taking the genes off 311 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: the market and jailing Sydney Sweeney. The reaction was from 312 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: practically everybody everybody but the mainstream media. The reaction was 313 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: shut up. 314 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 2: You're right, that is a big deal anyway. 315 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: So, in a somewhat related topic, are you familiar with 316 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: the Scopes monkey trial? 317 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 2: What had that monkey done? 318 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: You don't even want to know. 319 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 2: So, the trial for the crime of throwing your feces. 320 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: How do you plead so? Back in July of nineteen 321 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: twenty five, a high school teacher name of John Scopes 322 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: was put on trial in Tennessee, Dayton, Tennessee, specifically for 323 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: teaching Darwin's theory of evolution, which was a crime under 324 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: state law. It was a crime to teach evolution one 325 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: hundred years ago, correct, Yes, yeah, almost exactly one hundred 326 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: years ago. I've read a tremendous amount about the Scopes 327 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: monkey trial, partly because my hero hl Menken, a contemporary journalist, 328 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: wrote brilliant column after column about it. He was in Dayton, Tennessee, 329 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: Oh Okay for the lead up to the trial and 330 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: the trial, and he wrote with humor and compassion and 331 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: eloquence about both sides, about the two opposing attorneys, the 332 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: famous Clarence Darrow and the famous WILLIAMS. Jennings, Bryan William 333 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: Jennings Bryan, and it immediately became a symbol of the 334 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: epic battle science and rationality versus religion and superstition. 335 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 2: Will you, gentlemen, you no, I will not yield to 336 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 2: this monkey court or whatever this thing. 337 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: This is not a monkey court. So where's the clip 338 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: from the trial? 339 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: So William Jennings Bryan and went on to be a 340 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: three to or had already been a three time presidential candidate. Yeah, 341 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: was one of the lawyers. Yeah I didn't know that. 342 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. 343 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: It was the two most famous lawyers in America going 344 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: at each other, and Daryl ran rings around Brian. 345 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 2: But because he said at the end, if it does 346 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: not fit you to quit, and they had a glove 347 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 2: and the monkey couldn't put it on. 348 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: If the monkey doesn't show, you must have quit. Anyway. 349 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: So and again read H. L. Menken's columns about the 350 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: absolutely brilliant But to get back to the modern day thread, 351 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 1: this author points out that, writing recently in The New 352 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: York Times, historian Michael Kaysen or Kazen called the trial 353 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: quote a momentous clash between modern science and traditional Christianity, 354 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: and he gives a couple more examples of how it's 355 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: always characterized like that. Well, here's where I bring it home. 356 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: Liberal commentators always failed to mention an inconvenient fact about 357 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: the actual textbook at the center of the tribe that 358 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: mister Scopes was teaching from, a fact that helps explain 359 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: why Tennesseeans found it so morally offensive. It presented a 360 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: defense of eugenics wrapped in pseudoscience and Darwinian biology. William 361 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: Hunter's A Civic Biology, which was published in nineteen fourteen, 362 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: the best selling text in its field at that point, 363 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: argued unapologetically for eugenics as the obvious social implication of 364 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: Darwinian evolution, referring to families that produced feeble minded and 365 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: criminal persons. Hunter rendered this judgment in the school textbook. 366 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: Just as certain animals or plants become parasitic on other 367 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: plants or animals, these families have become parasitic on society, 368 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: largely for them. The poor house in the asylum exists. 369 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: If such people were lower animals, we would probably kill 370 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: them off to prevent them from spreading. 371 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: So I'm trying to wrap my head around this as 372 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: I'm we're. 373 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: Just beginning the description of what was in the text. 374 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: World as I'm learning this, so I'm guessing that for 375 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: a lot of people at that time, the term evolution 376 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 2: included that. 377 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: They were closely tied. 378 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: In your mind, it would be if somebody's teaching evolution, 379 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 2: who was teaching that poor stupid people should be you 380 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: should not be allowed to breed? 381 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and in fact he hints that they should 382 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: be killed off in a high school textbook. 383 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 2: Wow. 384 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: So yes, if it's at the point that it's in 385 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: a high school textbook, it's safe to say that the 386 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: trend of progressives tying eugenics to the theory of evolution 387 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: was very, very common. 388 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really interesting. 389 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: Moving along a civic biology. In fact, the name of 390 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: the book reinforced a host of illiberal impulses, racism, white supremacy, 391 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: and contempt for the poor and those with disabilities. The 392 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: end goal Hunter wrote was to prevent the perpetuation of 393 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: those who take from society but give nothing in return, 394 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: a notion I am sympathetic to, but not when it 395 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: comes to killing off poor people. That means asylum's restrictive 396 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: marriage laws and the forced sterilization of undesirables. 397 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: Well, the problem with that whole take from society and 398 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: don't produce anything. It's not genetic that you do that, 399 00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 2: it's cultural. 400 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: Mostly progressives believed it was geneticent. 401 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 2: That's wild. 402 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. Darwin himself had speculated about the desirability of eugenics 403 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: based social engineering. Quote. Thus the weak members of civilized 404 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: societies propagate their kind, he complained in The Descent of 405 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: Man in a preview of the movie Idiocracy. No one 406 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will 407 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race 408 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: of man. And I could go more into degenerates, imbeciles, 409 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: the feeble minded, etc. But by the nineteen twenties, when 410 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: the Scopes Monkey Trial took place, all those people were 411 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: targeted by academics, politicians, activists, and scientists. Indeed, the eugenic 412 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: idea seized the imagination and the medical and scientific communities. 413 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: In the early twentieth century. Premier scientific organizations who might 414 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: even be lecturing us today on certain topics, like the 415 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: American Museum of Natural History and institutions such as Harvard 416 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: and Princeton, promoted sterilization laws and preached the eugenics gospel 417 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: through lectures, conferences, and research papers. And progressives led the 418 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: drive for eugenic policies on all fronts, and the Democratic Party, 419 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: the party of segregation in the Jim Crow South, became 420 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: their chief political sponsor. By the end of the twenties, 421 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: thirty three states passed eugenics laws and carried out thousands 422 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: of forced sterilizations. Tennessee was among those states that would 423 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: not pass a compulsory sterilization law. They found it repugnant 424 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: and unchristian. Thirty three states decided, yep, eugenics is a 425 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: way to go. We need to reproduce the successful people 426 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: and sterilize the people that aren't. That's wild. And then 427 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: a great quote Dennis Sewell, who is the author of 428 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: a book called The Political Gene that I know nothing about, 429 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: but he acknowledges that the rural folk of Tennessee may 430 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: not have had a sophisticated grasp of Darwinian evolution quote, 431 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: but they knew the progress is. Progressives who preached Darwinism 432 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: in the cities despised country people, sure, and poor people, 433 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: I would add, calling them imbeciles and defectives, and would 434 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: sterilize them if they got half a chance. 435 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: Well, okay, well this changed. This is what I was 436 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: talking about the other day. I get so frustrated with 437 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 2: why do we even read history? Narratives catch on, they 438 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 2: obliterate the reality sometimes and last forever. 439 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: Right, right. And then the pattern of resistance to eugenics 440 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: at the time was plain. It came from religious communities Protestant, Catholic, 441 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: and Jewish, deeply attached to the authority of the Bible. 442 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: It is, of course true that the Bible Belt states 443 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: such as Tennessee approved of segregation in other racist policies. 444 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: They are not pure hearted, wonderful people. Nevertheless, those who 445 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: opposed the eugenics agenda of the social Darwinists believe that 446 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: the Bible was the word of God, that men and 447 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: women were created by him and carried his divine image, 448 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: and that they shouldn't let progressives put people to death 449 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: or force sterilization upon them. That was as much as 450 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: perhaps just a rejection of the theory of evolution because 451 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: of creationism, etcetera. I don't want to get into that argument, 452 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: but it was horror at the progressive eugenics policies that 453 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: motivated a good deal of the resistance. Yeah, I know, 454 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: I know. The more you learn about history, the more 455 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: you realize you've been misinformed and lied to. 456 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 2: Wow. So the anniversary, the one hundred year anniversary was 457 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 2: last month that I'm just learning this now. 458 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I've been reading and thinking about this trial. 459 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: I don't know why. I just I've always liked really 460 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 1: good legal arguments. I've been fascinating for it by decades 461 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: or by it for decades. And yeah, I'd not really 462 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: heard this argument laid out in this way. But it's 463 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: it's absolutely ironclad. It's absolutely true. I've dug into it. 464 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 2: I remember the bab Boon took the fifth. 465 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: Well, well it's smart. No matter what level primate you are, 466 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: don't talk to the cops without a jeez. So, by 467 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: the way, it's worth mentioning that Supreme Court Justice Oliver 468 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: Wendel Holmes, hero of progressivism and horrible Supreme Court justice, 469 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: in nineteen twenty seven wrote in the majority the infamous 470 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: majority opinion Buck v. Bell, which upheld the forced sterilization 471 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: of one Carrie Buck quote, three generations of imbeciles are enough. 472 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: The eugenics movement was in high gear. 473 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: Three generations of imbeciles is enough. Wow, So we need 474 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 2: to sterilize these people? That is absolutely amazing. So no 475 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 2: wonder people were so upset about the trial and then 476 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 2: the outcome of it. You had a belief that the 477 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 2: government was going to come into your house and sterilize you. Well, right, 478 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 2: and much like the DEI Woke movement. 479 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: I always call it neomarxism because that's what it is, 480 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: even though it dupes people into thinking they're making a 481 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: moral argument. But that's the problem with if you allow 482 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: DEI into your company, or just have one struggle session 483 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: where white people are informed that they are the cause 484 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: of pain and misery around the world and should shut 485 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: up and sit down. If you allow that stuff in, 486 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: you're allowing the whole package in. And to some extent, 487 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: at least the people at Tennessee thought no, no, no. 488 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: The Darwin part is just part of it. They didn't 489 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: want to let it. 490 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: In, right. That is really interesting. I'm gonna have to 491 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 2: spend more time on that story. I just saw that 492 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 2: one of the three NFL games last night. I didn't 493 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 2: watch any of them this preseason kicks off Raiders and 494 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 2: Seahawks ended in a tie. Will see tend a preseason game, 495 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: God bless you, and it ends in a tie. Who 496 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 2: that is a nothing burger with nothing cheese, isn't it. 497 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well yeah, and I don't know preseason football, 498 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: it's it's just a scrimmage. 499 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: How amaze that people actually show up. You gotta really 500 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: really enjoy football. Yeah, And or you can't afford regular 501 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 2: season tickets, so you want to see fifty guys that 502 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 2: aren't going to make the team bashing each other. 503 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: I guess whatever do you do? 504 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 2: You You wouldn't like what I do with my time either. 505 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: You know what, fool your kids and thinking it's a 506 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: regular season game. Everybody has a big time. You save 507 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: some money. I'm in favor of this. 508 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: Fool your kids line to them, tell them to the playoffs. 509 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 2: What a lie is a strong word. 510 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: Then during the ragular, during the regular seaton, you got 511 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: to tell all these players are hurt. That's right, they're 512 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: not on the field exactly. 513 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll work. Uh, we got more on the waist 514 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 2: to hear. They're expecting it. 515 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 7: Then you was coming. The market was down, but not 516 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 7: as much as it could have been. The grand experiment 517 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 7: has begun times the like of which is no I've 518 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 7: been seen for a century now in place, and really 519 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 7: we just wait and say. 520 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: Nip a global trade world. Well, a global trade war 521 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 2: the likes of which we haven't seen in a century, 522 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: and the world was so much different one hundred years ago. 523 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 2: I don't even think that's worth mentioning. I mean, everything's 524 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 2: different in terms of the ability to trade and the 525 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 2: sorts of things we trade. So who knows the grand 526 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 2: experiment has begun? 527 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: Why is my tariff news being delivered by a member 528 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: of the Royal Shakespeare Troop. I don't know. 529 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 2: Like a card experiment has begun. I like it. It 530 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: gives it a little jazz. 531 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: Is it up a little bit? 532 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 2: Got a few news items to hit, which we can 533 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: ponder at length or not at all, depending on how 534 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: much Joe wants to talk about him. I'm the first 535 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 2: one to mention the E word today. Epstein Mark Alpern, 536 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 2: who has some of the best sources in all of reportings, 537 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: says that Trump is apparently seriously pondering a Maxwell pardon Halprinrice, 538 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 2: the implications of which, if done, are not something even 539 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: the small artist person in the world could game out. 540 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 2: Who knows how that would play out. I don't know 541 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 2: why he would pardon Maxwell or what he thinks he 542 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 2: would get out of that, but. 543 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: Wow, this is a great sign that the Trump administration, 544 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: like the last one, might be too online. Uh, I 545 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: don't think the rest of us are thinking about that much. 546 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 2: No, And yeah, the hardcore of the hardcore of MAGA 547 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 2: are really into it. But man, you're gonna lose more 548 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 2: than you gain, I think. 549 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: But well, unless she's pardoned because she has given up 550 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: some enormous trove of very important information, all it will 551 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: be is turning loose a child exploiter. That that would 552 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: be a horrible tactical move. 553 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 2: Another Trump's story, he's apparently warming to the idea of 554 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 2: letting TikTok go dark, at least briefly. Charles C. W. 555 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 2: Cook points out in The National Review that that would 556 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 2: be executing a law that Congress passed and the Supreme 557 00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 2: Court upheld nine nothing. Yes, that TikTok is supposed to 558 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: go dark. It's supposed to mean we outlawed it in 559 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 2: the United States. Congress did, and when it was challenged 560 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court nine nothing said yeah, they can do this. 561 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 2: And the for whatever reason, nobody's forced action on this. 562 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 2: How would you force action if the president doesn't want 563 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 2: to execute it. The executive has just. 564 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: Sue sue based on the non execution of the law 565 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: showing that it had damaged to you somehow. 566 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 2: Or you'd have to go down the impeachment road, which 567 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 2: nobody's going to impeach over this. I don't think. By 568 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 2: the way, every commentator in the world agrees that if 569 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 2: the Dems take the House back next year, they will 570 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: impeach Trump again. I don't know if I can live 571 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 2: through another impeachment. I might have to either go down 572 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 2: to the rope store, which coincidentally, as Norm MacDonald said, 573 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 2: is right next to the rickety stool store, and or 574 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 2: take a sabbatical or something. But I don't know if 575 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 2: I could live through another half ad impeachment. 576 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just my mood, but I think that would 577 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: be uh cynical, good time. Maybe the grand standing, the stupidity, 578 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: the lying. 579 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: I suppose it depends on what they're impeaching him over. 580 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 2: But it's a guarantee they will if they take the House, 581 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 2: and historically they will based on history. 582 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: Sure. 583 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 2: And that's breaking news. President Trump has secretly signed a 584 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 2: directive to the Pentagon to begin to begin using military 585 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 2: force against certain Latin American drug cartels that his administration 586 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 2: has deemed terrorist organizations. That's the New York Times reporting 587 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 2: moments ago military force against Latin American drug cartels. 588 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: In what context, in what geography? 589 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 2: I don't know. 590 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: What does that mean? 591 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 2: Put a fifty million dollar bounty on the head of 592 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 2: old Maduro? Is that who it was? 593 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, yesterday Madureau head of the Kami Venezuela.

Well, the Nogallas, Texas Police Department 598 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: can take them on. I mean, that's absurd. 599 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,919 Speaker 2: So you're gonna send the Marines into one of those 600 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 2: South American countries and deal with them there? 601 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it. Well, no, no, probably not. I'm 602 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: just which was what I was driving at with my 603 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 1: in what geography question? Do we only use the military 604 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: if they're on American soil? Do we declare a five 605 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: mile safety zone of five miles into Mexico? Do we 606 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: spend do we send a sealed team six like they're 607 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 1: going after Osama bin Laden wherever we damn well please 608 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: and knock out whoever we damn well please?
