WEBVTT - They Both Have A Little Muffin 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.240 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:24.320 Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. Other side. 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.960 Ivan Paul's impact on wildlife, killing thousands of birds who 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.319 fly anywhere near the plant's intense heat, has shown in 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:32.480 this government video. 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.960 When they see the birds actually going up in flame. 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.199 They created a name for that. They call them streamers. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:44.199 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell was that? Exactly? 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.400 William Laugeness Fox News last night with special report on 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:51.400 the massive Ivan Paul solar plants, closing more on the 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.080 important facts. But yes, so this thing and loginess explains this, 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:56.320 So forgive the redundancy. 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.200 But instead of like being. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.560 A solar just a giant solar field with solar panels. 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.160 The idea of this, somebody came up with this idea is. 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:08.759 It's a zillion mirrors that all focus the sun's rays 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:13.800 on these towers that get crazy super heated to drive 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:18.360 steam turnbines. The problem being that superheat literally causes birds 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:19.960 that fly by to burst into flames. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:20.919 Screamers. 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:26.880 They call them screamers, right or yeah, whatever, he said, yeah, so, 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.440 But the point is not birds bursting into flame, although frankly, 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.600 for kind of a side feature that's pretty good. 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.880 The main point is the squandern can take your kids 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:41.279 and watch some Wow. 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.760 If you want your kids to be serial killers, yes, yes, 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:50.240 desensitize them to quick and horrible death. All right, here 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.520 we go start with Ady William Ladgeness on a story 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.080 that we'll gall ye as a taxpayer, this. 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:58.960 Would become the biggest soil plant. 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.240 In the world, not in China, not in India, but 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:03.240 in California. 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.000 The ivan Pa solar plant went live eleven years ago. 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.000 It was supposed to produce clean power for at least 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.520 thirty years. Instead of solar panels, it uses giant mirrors 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.640 to concentrate the sun's energy on these towers, which boil water, 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.680 generating steam, creating electricity. 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.600 It's going to put about one thousand people to work 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.000 building a state of the art. 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.560 Facility, right all right, so just a quick review. 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.360 Stead of the art supplying green power for at least 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.520 thirty years, they're shutting it down after eleven sous. As 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.440 a rule of thumb, perhaps we go with green energy programs. 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.400 Cut the estimates by two thirds, and you're probably closer 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.560 to the truth Roland William Lejay. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.480 As part of his climate agenda, President Obama gave ivan 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.560 PA one point six billion dollars in federal loans, a 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.680 five hundred and thirty five million dollar grant, a thirty 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:01.200 percent tax credit worth about six ndred million, and an 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.560 accelerated depreciation schedule that allowed investors to write off their 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.080 capital investment in just five years. 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:12.400 The fact of the matter is American taxpayers wind up 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.320 holding the bill, whether it's a Celinda, whether it's this 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:16.679 project care. 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.400 So putting aside the loans, at least a billion dollars 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.760 in freebies from Obama to his cronies roll on. 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:29.000 In addition to taxpayer losses, California's rate payers were forced 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.960 to buy ivan PAW power at five times at the 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.400 market rate to help meet the state's renewable energy mandate. 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.080 These are expensive subsidies and they not only are they 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.200 do they cost the taxayers, but they just distort the market. 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.720 So I don't understand that part the taxpayers buying it 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.440 at five times the going rate was. 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.560 That California has rules about the amount the percentage of 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.560 power that has to be a green energy produced, and 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.520 Ivan Paul was going to be part of that. The problem, though, 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.800 is that it costs five times the normal rate to 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.280 provide electricity from that sort of system. 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:05.400 But because it was. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.720 Decreed that to fight climate change, never mind Indian China, 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.280 nothing to see here, keep moving, everybody, Uh, California would 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.839 make enormous sacrifices to affect climate. 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.799 Change even though they haven't changed anything. 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:23.480 An IODA just resulted in enormously high bills for ratepayers. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:24.919 One more clip. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.240 Ivan Pau is likely to shut down at the end 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.680 of the year. Its owners say that plants simply could 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.520 not compete on price with wind, natural gas, or traditional 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.240 solar panels. Now neither the Energy Department nor the plant's 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.760 operator would tell us exactly how much taxpayers lost, but 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.400 experts say it is likely to exceed one billion. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:49.159 Dollars end the green energy scam. I like the environment 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:53.479 as much as anybody, and the green energy scam. 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.000 So I want to hear this clip again with the screamers. 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:56.839 Is that what they wear here? 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.000 Let's players again other side Ivan paus impact on why 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.240 by killing thousands of birds who fly anywhere near the 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.600 plant's intense heat has shown in this government video. 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.080 When they see the birds actually going up in flame. 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.320 They created a name for that. They call them streamers. 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:14.239 Wow. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:19.160 Yeah, it's streamers because yeah, they because they burst into 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.680 flame and have a trail of smoke behind them as 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.039 they fall dead to the earth. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.119 That could be either way. And you set me on fire, 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.839 I'm gonna scream. Oh I'm not saying screamers is a 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.480 bad name, just that's not that the one they went with. 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.880 Oh my god, oh jeez, oh wow. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.560 Whether it's frightening us with things that you shouldn't be 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.719 frightened of, like Elon Musk, We've got a system. They'll 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.000 hold it. They'll make sure he doesn't do anything crazy 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.200 or promising us things that can't possibly be delivered. 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:53.720 I wish I had this quote in front of me. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:59.279 It's a great quote from Thomas Soul who said, essentially, 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:06.240 the fact that so many politicians are just shameless liars 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:12.560 is partly on us, because if we as voters demand 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:18.640 things from government they can't possibly deliver, we're demanding they 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:19.440 lie to us. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.200 That's a trick. He's got a point. This is a 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:26.960 great example of that. Before we take a break, here's 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.480 my favorite New York Post headline of the day always 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.520 good and this is a handy with RFK Junior just 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.840 being confirmed and committee. Now he's going to the big 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:40.359 vote where it looks like he's gonna get through. New 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:45.360 York Post headline. New study finds an entire spoonful of 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:50.800 microplastics in people's brains and three times as much in 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:57.400 people who have dementia. A spoonful of plastic, it's not microplastic. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.200 If you have a spoonfuls getting mack grow. I think 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.880 it totals up. I understand. What the h that's a 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.680 big chunk of plastic though a spoonful. 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:12.720 Yeah, I'm a skeptic about everything, but I absolutely believe 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.800 that some of the you know, the the matter that 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.000 is in our environment introduced by the post industrial world 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.440 is absolutely affected our body chemistry. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.280 But so how are we getting microplastics in the ocean 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.080 and in our brains. That's like when I drink out 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.360 of a plastic bottle, some of the plastic scrapes off 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.560 or whatever and gets in my body and doesn't come 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.760 out million different ways. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.800 It's in the air all around us as trillions of 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.400 tons of plastic are produced and used and destroyed all 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:46.520 around the world, attires rolling on the asphalt, cast off 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.960 tiny little bits of themselves up into the atmosphere. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.840 There's a million different sources of it. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.200 From what I understand, I don't have an authoritative like 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:54.960 piece of journalism in front of me, but having read 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.520 a fair amount about it, it's ubiquitous. 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.680 It's everywhere. Boy, if they ever nail this down as 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.320 being the reason for autism and demension, anxiety and all 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:08.880 the different things going on, how would we untangle the 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.440 modern world from plastic? I mean, just like where I'm 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.640 standing right now here in the radio studio, my phone, 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.520 my coffee thing, my water bottle, this iPad, the stand 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:23.600 of the iPad is own, the cord, my book, my glasses. Yeah, 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.920 just it's everywhere all the time. Like I said, it's 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.920 stunning how ubiquitous plastic is. Yeah, they were looking at 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.840 the clock. I mean everything right. 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:39.000 They would probably we would have to come up with 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:45.280 methods of manufacture that turned loose far fewer fragments up 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.400 into the air. But again, and this is troubling, we 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.920 would be up against the I don't give an f 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.880 policies of some of the biggest countries on Earth, Russia, China, India, 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.600 they don't care. They would say, look, we're too poor. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.120 We got to keep developing. We can't afford to to 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:05.120 do that. But yeah, as suspects go in the great 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:09.480 crime of some of the modern ailments, microplastics are right 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.120 up there. And I'm no paranoiac, you know me. I 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.720 just I think it's absolutely worth chasing down. And I 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.240 think RFK Junior is half a crackpot. 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.439 But if he gets like. 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.120 Super enthusiastic about hey, the government ought to study that, 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:26.600 go get. 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:33.200 Them the whole plastic thing. Yeah, yeah, the microplastics, that's troubling. 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.280 I've read coverage from all sorts of different points of 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:40.200 view about it. It is absolutely not Gretaituneberg and Chapel 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.120 Roan and a bunch of lefty hippie dippies. Now, it's 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.280 that some of the most serious scientists in the world 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.440 are well, you're just an example here at this point, 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:50.840 you've become a parody of yourself. 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.439 Sorry. For some reason, the idea of a whole spoonful 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.960 in my brain bothers me. We got more on the way. 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.400 Say here, when they see the birds actually going up 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.080 and flame, they created a name for that. They call 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:09.000 them screamers. 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:12.240 If they attempted to shoot at take shots at. 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.240 Aggressively approach troops are borbitual agentes. We're not going to 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:17.720 stand for it. 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:22.000 Ever, it's not a question of that's right, that's what 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:23.600 We've already took shots at. 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:24.080 Borg til. 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.920 It's going to increase as we take their livelihood the way, 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.960 as we take their money. Way they can't pay off 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.000 federal officials, it's increase. They're not gonna way, They're not 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:36.160 gonna wait quietly. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:41.800 No way, somehow. A memo from the leaders of Mexican 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.760 drug cartels down to their people lower down in the organization. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:50.959 They're big, multi gazillion dollar organizations, these cartels mm hmm, 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.480 with a hierarchy like any business anyway. A memo was 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.160 obtained by the US government the US Border Patrol showing 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.800 that the car cartels have decided to use kamikazi drones 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.520 and other explosives in a bid to thwart the crack 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.959 down at the border. The alert, which cites social media 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.880 posts and other sources, cautions federal agents to remain cognizant 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.000 of their surroundings at all times. Blah blah blah, as 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:21.360 you probably should always do. If the Mexican cartels try 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.200 to bring it against our military at the border. That 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.480 is going to turn ugly fast, right. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.280 And I love the point to Pete Hesath's made right there. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.600 Maybe it was Tom Holman that if we threaten their 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:37.160 livelihood and their revenue that they used to pay off officials, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.720 they're going to react very, very badly to it. It's 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.600 about to get really spicy on the border. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:47.080 Yeah. I saw a report on Fox that Hegxeth was 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.719 meeting with lots of the border patrol people and then 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.200 he sent the leaders out to just talk to the 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.680 rank and file people and say, tell me anything you 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.600 want to tell me about what's actually going on. And 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.800 then he also said, if you're shot at, you shoot 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:03.000 back rules of engagement of change from the previous administration. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.559 If you're if they're shooting at you, you shoot back 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:10.680 at them. So which is obviously is gotta happen. But 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.480 right man, things could turn crazy fast. I think the 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:18.480 fact that that's a wow is the wow. How the 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.040 hell did we get so far down the road? 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.199 Anyway, that's a perfect setup to what I wanted to 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:23.360 talk about, At least briefly. 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:28.280 There was a real gambling in Casa Blanco moment yesterday. 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.640 I think it was Trump threatened those tariffs on Mexico 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.840 and Canada, and Canada is a different case in Mexico, 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.840 but if they didn't do something about, you know, the 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.040 fentanyl coming across the border and immigration and the rest 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:40.559 of that stuff. 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.680 And indeed there's been progress on that front. But the 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.920 White House fact sheet that announced the tariffs on Mexico 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:53.719 mentioned part in part quote, the Mexican drug trafficking organizations 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.360 have an intolerable alliance with the government of Mexico, and 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:02.520 this created a furious reaction in Old Mexico, said President 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.560 Claudia Shinebaum. And I've ruined myself. I don't know why 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.280 it popped into my head. Shine Bomb you crazy diamond 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.080 the Great Pink Floyd song. So now every time I 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.920 hear her name, I think shine bomb you crazy? Anyway, 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:21.000 President Shinebaum posted on x breathlessly the Mexican the we 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:25.640 categorically reject the White House's slenderous claims that the Mexican 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.440 government has alliances with criminal organizations, and Mexican governors chimed 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.840 in with a joint statement quote, we energetically condemn the 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.559 accusations that suggest there is a link between our governments 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:41.240 and narco trafficking cartels, and outraged headlines filled the newspapers. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.920 Well Rich Lowry at the National Review Rights. 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.160 The White House line is strong stuff, but it hits 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.840 on a fundamental problem. And it's not like the government 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.120 and the cartels went aboard the USS Missouri and signed 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.280 some sort of treaty together. But the Mexican government has 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.920 fought a bloody years long war against the cartels. 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:02.200 That it lost. 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.079 Then it reached a corrupt modus vivendi with the organization 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:09.800 way to go forward and increase their cooperation. The Mexican 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.800 government hates being called on this, but it is true, 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.000 and it's a real shift after the Biden administration whitewashed 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.800 this for four years. If the Mexicans feel defensive about 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.400 Trump's accusation, rits Lowry, that's because they have so much 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:25.720 to feel defensive about. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.600 As the hardcore conservative New York Times. 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.840 Has written of the cartels quote, they pay off the police, 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.640 manipulate mayors, co opt senior officials, and dominate broad swathes 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:43.320 of the country. And he mentions that Steinbaum has made 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.480 much of Mexico's sovereignty. In her response, to Trump that 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.360 you dare not, you know, fight cartels on our land. 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.640 We have sovereignty, blah blah blah. But they have an 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.400 ongoing affront against their sovereignty. That's the cartels. Josh Travino 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.440 of the Texas Public Policy Foundation has long been drawing 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.200 attention to the issue and has edited an exhaustive, unsparing 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.920 report on the relationship between the narcos and the state, 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.560 which I will be reading later today. There is solid 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:13.640 evidence that Omlo, the last Mexican president, his top aids 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.840 ushered in millions of dollars worth of presidential campaign contributions 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.800 from cartel sources. They kept the boss his hands clean, 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:24.760 but we all know how that works. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.880 Much because a couple of Mexican presidents ago, I don't 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.800 remember which one it was, it became there was proof 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:36.000 shortly after he left that he was getting money from 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:36.680 the cartels. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:41.440 Mm hm oh yeah, pretty compelling. Here's pro publica. By 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.680 some estimates, criminal gangs dominate more than a quarter of 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.480 the national territory, operating openly, imposing the will on local 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.440 governments and often forcing the state and federal authorities to 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.920 keep their distance. The violence is hovered near historical levels. Well, 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.640 the gang's extortion rackets and other criminal enterprises have been 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.720 testicized into every layer of the eccoont To me, this is. 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.160 Why you got to hold on to rule of law, 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.480 law and order civilization, because I mean, you end up 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.120 in a state like that, it's tough tough to turn 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:09.720 that around. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:14.400 Clawing it back would be a fifteen year all outrill 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:15.560 gorilla war with it. 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.920 And we take a lot of really brave people and look, 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.680 you do, what would you do? You're a medium level 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:26.600 official anywhere and you get the silver or lead speech, right, 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.520 I mean, come on, what are you gonna do. You're 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.840 gonna go ahead of here's bank account numbers. When you 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.960 know the whole government, the entire country's corrupt. You're gonna 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.400 be the one person stands up to the cartels. Right. 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.000 I'm a small town mayor and my state governor is 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.840 on the cartel's payroll. Yeah, exactly. And I realized this 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:44.640 is the point that shouldn't need to be made. But 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.400 my god, the insanity of it. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:48.360 We had. 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.080 We have a hundreds of miles long border with such 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.359 a country that we left wide open for their cartels 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:56.480 to just come on in. 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:03.160 It's it's enough to make you pretty angry a little 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.480 more about all the microplastics in our brain from this 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.560 study that came out. I don't think this is conspiracy 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.480 crazy stuff. I think this is real anyway. More on 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.159 the Way to Stay with Us, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.879 Kamala Harris remains the front runner for the twenty twenty 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:23.720 eight nomination. I know that's some accolade. That's like being 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.520 first in line at a James Carville kissing booth. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:37.600 What is it? We have a breaking, unimportant news. Donald 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.640 Trump is going to attend the Super Bowl. He will 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.800 be the first sitting president to ever attend a Super 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:48.280 Bowl m in Louisiana, in New Orleans this Sunday. Is 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:52.400 this Sunday? Next Sunday, This Sunday, Yes for Chiefs Eagles. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.560 So God, can you imagine what the security's got to 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:55.119 be around that? 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.280 And I've got to believe the NFL's freaking out a 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.600 little bit because I don't know how well their security 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:05.560 you will mesh with the Secret Service security protocols and 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:06.440 needs in the rest of it. 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:11.200 Well, given the Secret Service failure where he almost died, 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.440 and then the fact that there was an al Qaeda 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.080 inspired terrorist attack in New Orleans just a couple of 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.639 weeks ago. Can't even imagine what the security is going 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.879 to be like around that, both for good reasons to 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:30.040 protect the president and reasons of not wanting to have 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.600 egg on their faces. Again, I'm sure they're going to 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.399 go you know, way way, way way down the line 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.399 of predective. Of God, what a mess is if it 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:39.679 wasn't going to be hard enough to get in and 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.600 out of the stadium already, But anyway, Trump's going to. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.399 Be thinking of the fans. Yeah, They'll be standing in 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:44.960 line for eleven hours to get in. 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.480 There have been three vice presidents sitting vice presidents attend 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:56.280 to Super Bowl, Spiro Agnew m al Gore and hw Bush. 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.560 There's never been a sitting US president. I think because 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:03.240 of the security reasons, because it'd be such a giant asshole. Probably, 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.000 I suspect so, yeah, because otherwise, why would you pass 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:10.040 up on the number one watched TV event of the 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.080 year to get your face out there and wait to people? 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.520 Right now, Trump is doing the interview pregame. Oh, I 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.960 didn't hear that he's doing the bet. Biden skipped several 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.040 years in a row because he was too senile to 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:21.960 have a conversation. 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.600 So it's a Fox Super Bowl. Who will be interviewing? 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:30.520 Is it brettbeaar Right? Oh wow, Well that's cool. As 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:32.679 we've said year after year, it's not really what I 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.840 want to do on Super Bowl someday is watch a 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:35.679 political interview. 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:39.399 But right right, it's good to have a president who's 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.080 able to string a sentence. 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:43.879 Together though, and apparently the topic of the conversation. So 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.440 the all the players, both teams arrived in the Louisiana 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.760 yesterday New Orleans, and then they do the media days 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:50.520 where they answer a whole bunch of dumb questions all 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.240 week long, which has got to be really, really tiring. 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:55.760 I can't even imagine going in there and sitting there 0:19:55.760 --> 0:20:00.199 for hours asking you answering stupid questions when when you 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.040 know you get the biggest game in your life coming up. 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:06.359 Freull And frequently it's not like the hardcore NFL press there, 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.840 it's like USA today, who wants to ask you about. 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.640 Travis Kelcey talking yesterday about how you just can't answer 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.800 any more questions about proposing to Taylor, just can't talk 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.000 about that anymore. Patrick Mahomes asked about and somebody brought 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.000 a picture to remind him his dad bod, which is 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.320 famous from a couple of years ago. He is a 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.119 rather average ish looking dude with his shirt off, and 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:29.920 he said, I have a dad bod because I'm a dad. 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:31.160 I have a couple of little kids. 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:31.280 Well. 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.560 One interesting things about the Kansas City Chiefs, which is 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:34.959 I think should be a reason to root for them 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.080 and not hate them. Is there two biggest stars, Patrick 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.720 Mahomes and Travis Kelcey both have a little muffin when 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:44.000 they stand up. You can see a little hanging out 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.399 over their pants. You don't usually see that with NFL 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:50.040 players other than lineman usually, you know, you're what do 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.120 they call them skill players? They don't have that little 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.000 muffin over the side, but Travis Kelsey does. Lineman, it 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.320 looked like they could give birth to an elephant. And 0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:59.719 what did we learn earlier? The Eagles have the biggest 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:04.400 law in the history of the NFL, averaging six average 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:10.760 twenty eight averaging thirty six six. What is it, Katie? 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:16.120 You were very close. It's three thirty eight. Whow average 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:20.040 way six three forty roughly for the average of those 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:21.800 guy five guys in front and then they do this 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:23.879 play called the tush push. If you don't know it, 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.679 it's just they got giant asses, and if they decide 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.720 to move forward one yard, it really ain't many teams 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:31.800 that can stop them from going forward one year. And 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:34.000 if you're behind them, I could just walk behind them, 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.880 those giant asses pushing everybody more than I even moved 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:38.399 the ball that far. So we'll see how that went. 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:45.920 I think it's interesting that linemen when they retire lose weight. 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.200 Oh yeah, they're supposed to a lot of athletes. Most athletes, 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.760 you retire, obviously you gain weight, but they lose weight. 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:56.520 They're pounding on extra pounds to try to be as 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.640 heavy as possible, just a matter of physics. And then 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:01.879 you lose weight when you retire. Wow, that can't be 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:02.359 good for you. 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:05.920 It's better than holding the keeping the weight on though 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:09.479
