1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio and the

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong, Shoety arm Strong and

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: For some people here, the war has already begun. The

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: lifetime shelling in the east, where Ukrainian soldiers opposed Russian

6
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: backed separatists, has increased, with two Ukrainian soldiers killed. Saturday,

7
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: Separatist leaders ordered an evacuation with a dubious warning that Ukraine,

8
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: surrounded by one hundred and ninety thousand Russian soldiers, plans

9
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: to attack. We are taking enough food for one day,

10
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: she says. We don't know when we'll be back.

11
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: Three years ago today the war started. Russian invaded Ukraine. Evil,

12
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: absolutely evil, the worst major invasion of another country since

13
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: World War Two. Here's a little more on three years

14
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: ago today.

15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: It appears the Russians have targeted Ukraine's military infrastructure in

16
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: the capital Kiev. Ballistic missiles struck targets and the outskirts

17
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: of the city. Wasn't constant bombardment, but a boom every

18
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: so often. Ukraine's border guards said. Russian troops attacked from

19
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: the north and crossed from Belarus with artillery, tanks and

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: small arms. The Ukrainian military reported casualties, the first of

21
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: what could be many in a conflict widely expected to

22
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: be bloody.

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 1: We'll get into a little of the did Russia start

24
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: it or did Ukraine start? A talk that you knew

25
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: was going to happen over the weekend since Trump said

26
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: Ukraine started it, and I knew every Republican that went

27
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: on every Sunday talk show was going to be forced

28
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: to answer for that, which is in this case not

29
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't think unfair. But here's a little Ian panel

30
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: on ABC some of the back and forth between Zelenski

31
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: and Trump and where we are now and the trying

32
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: to negotiate an end of this war.

33
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 4: Three years later, President Zelenski, under political attack, engaged in

34
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 4: a bitter war of words with President Trump, who called

35
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 4: him a dictator for not holding elections. It comes as

36
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 4: the White House presses Zelenski to accept a deal that

37
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 4: would require Ukraine to give billions back to the US

38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 4: for the military aid already sent to Ukraine. Zelenski insisting

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 4: that money was a grant, not alone, but that he's

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 4: ready to work with America on joint investments.

41
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: A little more on the trying to get the money

42
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: back angle of this in a second, but more from Ian.

43
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 4: You're under pressure from Moscow to step aside and Washington

44
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: to hold elections. Would you be willing to give up

45
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 4: the presidency if it meant peace for Ukraine? The Ukrainian

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 4: leader telling me he's ready to resign if it means peace,

47
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: and he altered to stand down if it meant membership

48
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 4: of NATO, saying I'll do it immediately without a long

49
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: conversation about it.

50
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: I gotta believe President Zelensky's head is space and he's

51
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: having lots of meetings huddled together with his best advisors

52
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: to try to figure out how to handle this current

53
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: situation that landed at his feet three years into this awful,

54
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: awful war.

55
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 5: Right right, this, this is, of all of the Trump's

56
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 5: Trump Administration's early actions, the one that bothers me the

57
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 5: most for a number of reasons, including that you know

58
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 5: he started it, he's a dictator. Both of those are

59
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 5: demonstrably false, and so how your putin's an actual dictator?

60
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: How about this angle? Let's play this one and then

61
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: you can respond to this.

62
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 6: Okay, sure, going.

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 7: To get our money back because it's not fair. It's

64
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 7: just not fair. And we will see. But I think

65
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 7: we're pretty close to a deal. And we better be

66
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 7: close to a deal because that has been a horrible situation.

67
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: That didn't include money. But the details. But yes, Donald

68
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: Trump saying we need to the half the money I

69
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: guess we're hoping to get from the rare earth minerals

70
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: that they've got in Ukraine to pay us back for

71
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: the money that we have loaned them. As you heard,

72
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: Zelensky thought it took it more as a grant than

73
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: a loone, the helping them defend themselves against Russia.

74
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 5: I think he took it that way because it's never

75
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 5: been alone. It was never called alone, it was never

76
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 5: set up as alone. There were never any terms of repayment.

77
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 5: The idea that it was alone is silly. It wasn't.

78
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 6: It was aid.

79
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's going to happen. What's that the

80
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: US get in half of the rare Earth.

81
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 5: There will probably be a deal struck, but it's going

82
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 5: to be very different than the one initially offered to Ukraine.

83
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 5: I was going to talk about how Trump, I mean,

84
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 5: everybody understands he promises ridiculously, you know, optimistic stuff. It's

85
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 5: a directional indicator, as they say these days. When he

86
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 5: says I could settle it in twenty four hours, he

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 5: means I'm going to try very hard to settle it,

88
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: unlike the administration, which was terrible and wasn't really trying

89
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: to achieve victory or peaceful settlement.

90
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 6: They were just kind of going along. So I get

91
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 6: directionally why it was a good idea.

92
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 5: But on the one hand, you have Zelenski saying we're

93
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 5: not taking the extraction of our minerals because we accepted

94
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 5: foreign aid that wasn't alone, and now we have to

95
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 5: give it away. And as he said, I'm not gonna

96
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 5: sign a deal where ten generations later Ukrainians are still

97
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 5: paying for it.

98
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 6: And the second thing is Vladimir.

99
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 5: Putin and his people have come to the bargaining table

100
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 5: and made it pretty damn clear. Yeah, we appreciate your

101
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 5: peace making efforts, but we're doing pretty well on the battlefield.

102
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 5: We're gonna keep killing Ukrainians fast as we can. We're

103
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 5: gonna see if we can grab a few more inches

104
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 5: of land, no matter how many thousands of Russian lives

105
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 5: it takes.

106
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 6: And thanks for the offer, but we're good.

107
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: So are you surprised that Putin isn't more interested in

108
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: trying to end this thing, given the fact that he's

109
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: lost eight hundred thousand soldiers like half a million dead.

110
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 6: I don't think his patience is infinite.

111
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 5: But as you've vindicated, this has been Russian history over

112
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 5: and over again. We will kill as many young men

113
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 5: as it takes to gain whatever the Czar, the Kremlin,

114
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 5: Vladimir Putin decides they want to take. And as they

115
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: are on a little bit of the front foot on

116
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 5: the battlefield, they got mercenaries and North Koreans and more

117
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 5: young men they're conscripting. No, they're gonna keep grinding away

118
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 5: for a little while longer at least well.

119
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: Plus, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes,

120
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: but in front of the scenes, if I'm Putin, I

121
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: would think it looks like Zalnsy's getting leaned on more

122
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: than I am.

123
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 6: Yes.

124
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Trump is being much harder on Zelensky, at least

125
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 5: publicly than Putin, which is troubling to me.

126
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: It gets complicated even on the Republican side of the

127
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: aisle with some of this stuff, because not all Republicans,

128
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: at various levels of leadership agree with Trump's tactics or

129
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: some of the things he's said. But Pete Haggzeth, who

130
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: is the Secretary of Defense, was on Fox News Sunday

131
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: yesterday and asked the question that I knew everybody'd be asked.

132
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 8: I don't need to get into the characterization of we

133
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 8: know who invaded who, So standing here and saying you're good,

134
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 8: you're bad, You're a dictator, You're not a dictator.

135
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: You invaded, you didn't.

136
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 9: It's not useful, it's not productive. And so President Trump

137
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 9: isn't getting drawn into that in unnecessary.

138
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 8: Ways, and as a result, we're closer to peace today.

139
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 6: Than ever before.

140
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: But fair to say Russia attacked unprovoked into Ukraine three

141
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: years ago tomorrow, fair to say it's a very complicated situation. Yeah,

142
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: so the second deaf can't just come out and say

143
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: Russia attacked Ukraine.

144
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 5: Sorry, you guys pro Trump or your anti Trump, We're

145
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 5: pro the United States of America. You want to talk

146
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 5: about a complicated situation. Pete Heggzeth having to go on

147
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 5: shows after the President says something is ridiculous as Ziln

148
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 5: as you know, Ukraine started the war, and he's trying

149
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 5: to dance around it.

150
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 6: Well.

151
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: Also on Fox, this isn't you know ABC News with

152
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: David Muir Muir This is on Fox. Maria bartar Romo

153
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: asked Walls, who's the National Security Advisor? Is that what

154
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: he is? Anyway, same question.

155
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 6: Can you acknowledge that Russia is the aggressor here?

156
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 8: Well, you know what, who would you rather have him

157
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 8: go toe to toe with the likes of Vladimir Putin,

158
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 8: Kim Jong un, she or who anyone else? Joe Biden

159
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 8: or Donald Trump. He's the deal maker in chief, He's

160
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 8: the commander in chief, and it's only because of his

161
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 8: strength that were even in this position. And President Trump's

162
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 8: own words have been that Russia invaded a neighbor under Bush,

163
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 8: under Obama, under Biden, but not him. It didn't happen

164
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 8: his first term, and he's going to bring it to

165
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 8: an end his second term.

166
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: So that's the position. A lot of his cabinet people

167
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: are in and trying to defend the whole Ukraine started

168
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: this thing and then slightly or.

169
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 6: Difflec obviously changed the top.

170
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, slightly different topic, but again getting to

171
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: the there's a bit of a fisure in the at least,

172
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: I guess with Fox and Trump, and I know a

173
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: lot of you think Fox is evil for calling the

174
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: election for Arizona in twenty twenty and all that sort

175
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: of stuff, so you But anyway, brit Hume today talking

176
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: about the German elections and the fact that the AfD,

177
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: that's what they call the ultra right wing party, that

178
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: did better than it's ever done before. I'll read this

179
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: quote from brit Hume. Despite what you've heard from Elon

180
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Musk and jd Vance, the AfD is an anti American

181
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: pro Russian party. Some eighty percent of German voters, including

182
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: the twenty nine percent who chose Fred Mertz, don't support

183
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: the AfD. The pro American mister Mertz could could use

184
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: us support. But so that's the Seniors commentator on Fox saying, hey,

185
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: that right party is anti US, pro Russia right.

186
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 5: And this returns to a theme I'm always harping on

187
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 5: that the polite, moderate conservative Germans were unwilling to say,

188
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 5: we have a bit of an immigration challenge and it's

189
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 5: tearing a part of our country and huge percentages of

190
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 5: Germans hate it. They were too polite and restrained to

191
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 5: say that they didn't want to stir up trouble, and

192
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 5: so these people whose lives in towns are just being

193
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 5: thrown as completely changed forever by this rampant immigration, are saying, Okay,

194
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 5: is anybody reflecting my concerns? The AfD is okay, there

195
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 5: are a bunch of lunatics, but at least they're reflecting

196
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 5: my concerns. This is the problem you run into, and

197
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 5: the so called moderate parties are being too politically correct

198
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 5: to reflect the reality of their voters, which is one

199
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 5: of the things Jade Vance was talking about that I

200
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: thought was great.

201
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but as uh as we pointed out, he gets

202
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: it's complicated for Fox to cover it. It's complicated for

203
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: us to cover it. Just on the whole, I believe

204
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: Ukraine is the victim. Putin is one of the most

205
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: evil people on planet Earth, et cetera, et cetera. Are

206
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: we going to normalize relations with Russia? Oh, by the way,

207
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: another thing I wanted to throw in. So some people

208
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: claim the behind the stream strategy scene strategy that the

209
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: seven dimensional Chess is Trump trying to break Russia away

210
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: from China, and that our biggest threat on the world

211
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: stage is Russian China together, which is bad definitely very

212
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: very bad from us, and that if he could, you know,

213
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: kind of be friendly with Russia, maybe they'd get away

214
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: from China. She called Putin today on the three year anniversary,

215
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: to congratulate him on the peace talks, and blah blah blah,

216
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: which most people are seeing is just a message to

217
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: the world, Hey, you ain't separating us. We're together, Russian

218
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: China are in this together. We are taking on the

219
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: rest of you all.

220
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and again we'd rather have you understand what's going

221
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 5: on than pander to you. So I will say this,

222
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 5: the idea that Trump in the really three years or

223
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 5: so he has left of productive presidency, because that that

224
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 5: final year is very lame ducky for a variety of reasons.

225
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 5: But the idea that in the three years he has left,

226
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 5: Trump could do enough for Putin that it would pry

227
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 5: Putin away from Shijin Ping, who is really kind of

228
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 5: the electrical outlet that's letting Russia run right now. The

229
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 5: idea that he could pry him away is a fantasy.

230
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 5: It won't happen. It can't happens. It's almost silly. I

231
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 5: wish it weren't, because Jack, what you said is one

232
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 5: hundred percent correct. Russia and China together is awful.

233
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out

234
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: over the coming days, weeks, months before we take a break.

235
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: You gotta quit prediction. You think Putin's just going to continue,

236
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: so there will be no peace deal?

237
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 6: Uh, not for months?

238
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: Not for months. Yeah, biggest drone attack on Kiev by

239
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: far last night.

240
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 5: If the a three unquote peace deal, You've got to

241
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 5: look at Russia's history of breaking every deal they make, right,

242
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 5: every freaking deals they may.

243
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Well, that's why Macrone's meeting with Trump right now at

244
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: the White House and mcron and fred Martz, is it

245
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: France and Germany or.

246
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 6: Hope Macrone put on a nice clean pair of panties.

247
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: Have agreed to put tens of thousands of peacekeepers that'd

248
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: be soldiers in Ukraine to try to, you know, as

249
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: a guarantee that Russia won't reinvade. Obviously that would be

250
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: attacking NATO troops. And then you got Article five in

251
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: that whole thing. But hopefully we don't get there any

252
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: time soon. You got to comment on any of this

253
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: text line four nine five KFTC.

254
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 6: I went to.

255
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 10: Career day for my daughter's school. So I was hoping

256
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 10: to sit at a table alone. They put me at

257
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 10: a table with a surgeon, which I think they did

258
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 10: it on purpose, almost to show the kids here's the

259
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 10: difference between reading. They asked him how long did you

260
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 10: go to school to be a surge? And you know,

261
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 10: he's like fifty four years or whatever it's like. And

262
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 10: they asked me, They're like, how long to be a comedian.

263
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 10: I was like, you're good now, so look, finish elementary school,

264
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 10: make your parents happy.

265
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 6: But then I'd get out.

266
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: And get after it. Nate Bargati had career day with

267
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: his daughter. I wouldn't like that either. Don't sit me

268
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: with the surgeon. The hell hain't cool. I had that

269
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: problem at the career day at my son's high school.

270
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: What a couple of months ago I did that. Some

271
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: of the people that like could really accomplished things that

272
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: tear actual pages from rock and roll history. It's like

273
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: being told, yeah, Jimmy Hendrix is going to open for you.

274
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 6: What no, No, don't put me next to the surgeon.

275
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: A couple of business notes for you. First business, Hooters

276
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: has declared they're going to file for bankruptcy. I'm kind

277
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: of shocked still works or is a thing or is

278
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: it barely working? They should put a Hooters in the coals,

279
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: see if that would work. Maybe have a in the

280
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: corner of the coals. You could have a Hooters. See

281
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: if they like you got a Starbucks in the target. Yeah,

282
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: have a Hooters and a Coles. They can both go

283
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: out of business together. And then the other business news

284
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: is the New York Yankees have announced they will allow

285
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: facial hair for the first time in their famous history,

286
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: raise their wielding fascists. They've had a bunch of very

287
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: famous players come there that were bearded or mustachioed and

288
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: they had to cut their beard and no more. I

289
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: guess they're getting with the times, realizing almost all the

290
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: good players have beards.

291
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 10: So.

292
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,359
Speaker 6: Literally nobody cares.

293
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: I kind of liked it for some reason. I don't know.

294
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means about me, but I

295
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: kind of liked theriar.

296
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 6: We have rules.

297
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: We we're a class organization here, and gonna have a

298
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: bunch of hoodlums with facial air.

299
00:15:54,040 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 5: Hoodlums with facial air keep trying have those damn big

300
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 5: ear gauges where your ear loaves are all stretched out.

301
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 6: That'd be my only rule.

302
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen anybody when they've got them out?

303
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 6: Yes?

304
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: God, it's hard to not vomit. Yes, Kate's rough. Yes, Katie,

305
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: are you ready for a confession?

306
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 6: Ok?

307
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: You gauges?

308
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 11: I did, and my dad one year at Christmas went,

309
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 11: the only thing that I want is for you to

310
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 11: take those out of your ears, And so I did.

311
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: And then did you have to get an operation or anything?

312
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: I called them?

313
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 11: I actually call them b whole ears because they're like

314
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 11: still kind of stretched out.

315
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: Okay, no, that they did. They retract like a rubber

316
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: band over time. Yeah, they went back. Oh I didn't

317
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: know that.

318
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 11: But I can't wear certain kinds of ear rings because

319
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 11: it's still a little stretched.

320
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: So who were you angry at at the time when

321
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: you got your ear gauges?

322
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 11: The guy I was dating had gated gauged ears and

323
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 11: it was dumb.

324
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 6: There you go, dumb date men.

325
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 11: That's that's the end of the story, right there, You

326
00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 11: guys lead to all the problems.

327
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 6: Wait till you're twenty four.

328
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: At least, Joe's gonna help us drink liberal tears? Coming

329
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: up next? Is that where we're doing?

330
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 2: Uh?

331
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 5: Oh, now I have no time, but yes, roughly speaking, yes,

332
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 5: armstrong and getty and this adi.

333
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: You know what it means, because.

334
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 6: That's heard somebody to say earlier.

335
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: Today they have substitute in these acronyms for the N word.

336
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 9: My message to young men is, don't allow this broken

337
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 9: culture to send you a message that you're a bad

338
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 9: person because you're a man, because you like to tell

339
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 9: a joke, because you like to have a beer with

340
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 9: your friends, or because you're competitive. O. Our message, the

341
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 9: cultural message, and I think the presidents in mine is

342
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 9: the exact opposite. But our cultural message is I think

343
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 9: that it wants to turn everybody into whether male or female,

344
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 9: into androgynous idiots who think the same, talk this same,

345
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 9: and act the same. We actually think God made male

346
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 9: and female for a purpose, and we want you guys

347
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 9: to thrive as young men and as young women, and

348
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 9: we're going to help with our public policy to make

349
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 9: it possible to do that.

350
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 5: Just a little contrast there of James Cliburn, who got

351
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 5: the Mummy Joe Biden elected by backing in South Carolina

352
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 5: back in the day, saying that to even use the

353
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 5: term DEI is to drop an N bomb. If you're

354
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 5: saying it's bad. If you're saying it's good, you get

355
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 5: to and then JD. Van saying, hey, men don't be

356
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 5: ashamed of being men. Go ahead and be a man.

357
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 5: We were talking earlier about how a number of states,

358
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 5: including Maine, are fighting to keep boys playing in girls'

359
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 5: sports because they really like to see boys win all

360
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 5: the girls medals.

361
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: I guess even though the New York Times has pulling

362
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: out today that eighty percent of Americans don't agree with that.

363
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm tempted to play Trump's screed about the main governor, well,

364
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 5: go ahead nineteen Michael Ena.

365
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 7: Maine yesterday, right, the governor of May.

366
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: She's fighting to keep men.

367
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 7: In women's sports. You ever see what happens to a

368
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 7: woman when a woman boxes a man who transitioned to womanhood.

369
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 7: Did you ever see what happens? It's not pretty, it's

370
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 7: not pretty.

371
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: Let her do that fight.

372
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 7: Let them all do that fight, because I think that's

373
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 7: about a ninety ten issue, and I can't figure out

374
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 7: who the ten percent are.

375
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: Don't nobody can?

376
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, he's damn near right. It's certainly an eighty

377
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 5: twelve issue. And then the inevitable, you know, four to

378
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 5: eight percent who'd no opinion.

379
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 6: I don't know. Wait wait, wait, wait.

380
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 5: We're talking about a young man donning a skirt saying

381
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 5: I'm now a girl and beating the hell out of

382
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 5: girls on a sports field. Are you in favor of

383
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 5: that or against it? I don't know, no opinion.

384
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: Not sure.

385
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 5: How about a man who just like physically beats a

386
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 5: woman down on a sports field in favor against him?

387
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 6: Maybe? Not not sure? You people, please don't vote.

388
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 5: Branda Devine, who is so nasty but funny in The

389
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 5: New York Post, writing about a couple of different topics,

390
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 5: including the fact that Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, who is

391
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 5: a prominent.

392
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 6: Democrat and is a decent weather van.

393
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 5: For which way the Democratic Party is going because they

394
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 5: are leaderless rudderless philosophy lists about half.

395
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 6: A Democrat say the woke thing killed us, and I

396
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 6: think it's sick anyway, and the other half are like,

397
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 6: we're not woken enough. That's our problem anyway.

398
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 5: Tony Evers just backed legislation that redefines mothers as and

399
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 5: I quote inseminated persons. Wow, happy in seminated person's day

400
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 5: or some flowers, Hey, inseminated person. I was just calling

401
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 5: because we haven't talked for a while, and I miss you.

402
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 6: How are you? And Dad? Good? God? Seriously, I mean

403
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 6: it's not.

404
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: Like just wrong, it's perverse, it's bizarre, it's radical, and

405
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: it's like ninety ten.

406
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 6: And yet go.

407
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 5: To your local school and see if they're teaching about

408
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 5: the genderbread person. Anyway, as a proud mother of two,

409
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 5: writes Congresswoman Amanda Nednuski of Kenosha, Wisconsin, as a proud

410
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 5: mother of two, it is absolutely insulting that the governor

411
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 5: and his budget would reduce me in millions of other

412
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 5: mothers across Wisconsin to inseminated persons. Yeah, I would agree,

413
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 5: and for some reason, and I'm just going to throw

414
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 5: this in not because zapropos.

415
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 6: I think it actually distracts from a really important argument.

416
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 5: But Miranda Devine also writes about how in deep blue Connecticut,

417
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 5: because they have well you know what, I guess this

418
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 5: is related cal Unicornians, Illinoisans New Yorkers will recognize this

419
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 5: attitude of we've got to turn everybody loose from the

420
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 5: prisons if we possibly can, because we've overincarcerated people disproportionately,

421
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 5: people of color, blah blah blah, and enforcing laws racist.

422
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 5: We should let the crime run wild in the streets,

423
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 5: so all of our products are locked up behind glass.

424
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 6: Connecticuts.

425
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 5: Democrat appointed socially worker social worker Heavy Psychiatric Security Review

426
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 5: Board approved.

427
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: The early release the early release from.

428
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 5: A secure metal hospital a cannibal X murderer who ate

429
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 5: his victim's brain and eyeball with chopsticks and washed it

430
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 5: down with a glass of sucke. Forty eight year old's

431
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 5: Tyreese Smith who killed an eight angel Tun Gonzalez It's

432
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 5: probably ana Hell was deemed not guilty by reason of insanity,

433
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 5: but they said, yeah, he's more or less fixed, so

434
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 5: we're gonna turn him loose. The board concluding the Smiths

435
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 5: was not experiencing cravings to eat human flesh anymore, and

436
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 5: that he had agreed to reach out to the hospital

437
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 5: if he felt like killing anybody and eating them.

438
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: Wonder what that feels like when you're overwhelmed with the

439
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: desire to kill somebody to eat them.

440
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 5: I have a number of verges, some of which I

441
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 5: worked at. Well, that's not one of them.

442
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: You know what sounds good today, gym in accounting, Hey,

443
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: ain't sounds delicious.

444
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 5: I'd first have to hack him to death with an

445
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 5: axe and then consume his brain. But let's see, I've

446
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 5: got the staff meeting at ten thirty. Oh, I'm booked

447
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 5: for lunch. Gotta wait till this evening.

448
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

449
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, And actually, one of the Republicans apparently there are

450
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 5: a few in Connecticut asked, is this Smith guy likely

451
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 5: to reoffend if he fails to take his medicand medications?

452
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 5: And they said yeah, he was more than likely to

453
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 5: do so, but that he'd pledged to take his medication

454
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 5: and again reach out to the hospital if he was,

455
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 5: you know, seized by the desire to pick up his

456
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 5: act and do again what he did.

457
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: Like, you can't count on the pledges of a maniac.

458
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean, what is there to believe in?

459
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 5: So that is you know, granted that is a semi

460
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 5: nut picking, Yeah, I suppose, But when you've got that

461
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 5: alongside what appears to be the only unifying message at

462
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 5: this point, which is Elon is a dick and f Trump.

463
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 5: This is why it makes me nuts when Trump does

464
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 5: crazy stuff that's not necessary or says crazy stuff that's

465
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 5: not necessary. I mean, we're head by five and a

466
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 5: half touchdowns in the fourth quarter, Just don't throw.

467
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 6: Any deep pass. How we throw a deep pass? Oh no, no, no,

468
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 6: So we'll see how it goes.

469
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: But James Carbal, the Democratic strategists, he's ancient at this point,

470
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: and I think kind of out of touch with where

471
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: things have gone. But he says, hey, Democrats, play powsome.

472
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: Things are going to fall apart soon around all of

473
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: this stuff that Trump's doing. Just play powsome, stay away

474
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: from all this crap. But I ain't gonna listen to him.

475
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: I think he's right. If I'm a Democrat, that's what

476
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: I would want to do. I don't know if he's

477
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: right that the whole Trump thing's going to fall apart,

478
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: but I do think he's right that playing possum is

479
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: a better strategy than doubling down on some of this nonsense.

480
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 6: Right right in.

481
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 5: No other conservative authority than Jake Tapper had HAKEM.

482
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 6: Jeffries on the other day.

483
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 5: And you know, Jeffries is as close to a leader

484
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 5: as I think Democrats have. He's the House Minority leader.

485
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 5: He's a very very bright young man. I mean, he's

486
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 5: utterly dishonest and progressive in a way that makes me

487
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 5: but he's a very smart guy. And he went on

488
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 5: CNN to Jake Tapper's show as saying that, hey.

489
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 6: We're regrouping, We're on our way up.

490
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 5: The Republicans are going to collapse, and even Tapper said,

491
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 5: you know, congressional Republicans are pulling it about forty percent

492
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 5: and Democrats are twenty percent.

493
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 6: So that's an issue for you. We just need to

494
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 6: not screw it up.

495
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: So I left town Thursday and I did a little

496
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: birthday thing I want to talk about next to all

497
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: these art museums I went to in Los Angeles. But

498
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: because I was out of town, I missed the USA

499
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: Canada hockey match on ESPN on Wednesday night, which set

500
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: records for ESPN's most watched something or other they've ever

501
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: had in their history on ESPN. Who won? I don't

502
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: know anything.

503
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 6: The Knuckers won in overtime.

504
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 5: Overtime crazy, Oh yeah, sounds exciting and mincingly little Justin

505
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 5: Trudeau tweeted, you can't have our country and you can't

506
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 5: take our game.

507
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: Wow overtime And do they do the shootout in that?

508
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: Is that the way they did how they do over there?

509
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 6: No?

510
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 5: No, they play for a while first and they actually

511
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 5: scored a goal, which is the sort of you know,

512
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 5: provocative attack that often inspires an invasion.

513
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: So it causes bellay or something.

514
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 6: Exactly the annexation.

515
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: Huh. I continue to stand with Hitler when I say, oh, Man,

516
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: that modern art is crap. Oh he would have said shite,

517
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: But I'd say he's right about this, as I saw

518
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of modern art in some of the best

519
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: museums in the world over the weekend. I want to

520
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: tell you about some of the things I saw, among

521
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: other things on the way stay here. So I went

522
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: to downtown Los Angeles. I stayed in downtown Los Angeles

523
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: for my birthday on Friday. I'd never stayed downtown before.

524
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: And if you don't know, a Los Angeles is very

525
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: spread out, so they're downtown. Isn't like New York or

526
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: Chicago where there's like gazillions of people walking around and

527
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: everything like that and doing their thing, so many people

528
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: working all all are flung areas. It's not like that

529
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: at all. But I went to a bunch of museums

530
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. First I went to I

531
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: went to Rodeo Drive on Thursday afternoon. I was gonna

532
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: do some shopping for my birthday, which I thought better

533
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: of after I saw some of the prices on these things,

534
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: I was kind of interested in what a freak show

535
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: that is? What a freak show. It's just you should

536
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: go if you ever have the opportunity, just to like

537
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: walk the streets and look at the people and see

538
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: that this exists. The thing you think is only on

539
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: TV actually exists. Women with faces so distorted by boatox

540
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: and operationals and they hardly look like human beings wearing

541
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: the craziest clothes you can possibly imagine, struggling to get

542
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: an in and out of Lamborghini's because they're an inch

543
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: off the ground and they you know, I'm fifty years

544
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: old and I've had a lot of botox and everything, and.

545
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 5: I'm I'm wearing twenty five thousand dollars worth a clothes.

546
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: Right and I'm trying to get out of this Lamborghini

547
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: and it's just it's and then they're everywhere. It's really something.

548
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: And then who buys all that stuff? Who buys these

549
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars jackets and eleven thousand dollars purses? Are

550
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: there enough people? There must be, or the stores wouldn't

551
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: be there. But there are obviously enough people to buy

552
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: those things to keep the places open, the lights on.

553
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 5: A lot of things that used to be signs of

554
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 5: wealth now are accessible to a lot of people, or

555
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 5: knockoffs are, and so people who are looking for status,

556
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 5: is a rich person have to really go to extremes.

557
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 6: To prove that they're better.

558
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: Right, That is part of it. So it's getting late

559
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: that things are closing down, and I'm hungry, and so

560
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: then I just go on my little app on my phone.

561
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: Restaurant open near me, and right over there was Spago,

562
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: which if you're old enough you know the name, because

563
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: it was like the most famous restaurant in the world

564
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: for I don't know a decade or so. It's where

565
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: all the stars went and you had to get a

566
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: reservation two years out and all that sort of stuff.

567
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: So unless you were somebody, yeah, well you don't have

568
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: to be somebody anymore because I just I just walked

569
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: over and walked in. But you know, I was hoping

570
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: to see Cindy Lauper and the stars of Knots Landing,

571
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: but they weren't there because it's not the eighties or

572
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: the nineties. And I had their famous salmon pizza and

573
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: looked all the pictures on the wall and had a

574
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: wonderful time. Yes, Katie, I saw the picture of.

575
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 11: The salmon pizza and I was I was very confused.

576
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 11: I what did that entail.

577
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: It's a pizza crust with cream cheese with salmon on top,

578
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: and then some sort of fish egg thingy on top

579
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: of that, which I tried to pretend wasn't there because

580
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: it kind of grosses me out.

581
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 6: But it was delicious.

582
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: I think the pizza thing is what threw me.

583
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 11: So it's kind of like a locks bagel sort of pizza.

584
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: I guess this is what the stars of the eighties

585
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: and the early nineties wanted to eat, because it's their

586
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: signature thing. I saw that picture and I went, what

587
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: the hell right? I like to hit all the trendy

588
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: spots forty years after they.

589
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 5: Were That's good. It looks fairly appetizing. I really like fish.

590
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 1: It was great anyway. So the on Friday, I went

591
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: to a whole bunch of museums. I went to a

592
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: Catholic Mass at the big Giant Cathedral they have downtown

593
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm not Catholic, but big Giant Cathedral they have Downtown,

594
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: LA which they rebuilt after the worst earthquake they had

595
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: back in the day. Stunning church, absolutely stunning. It's where

596
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: they have like if police die or firefighters die or whatever,

597
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: that's where they have the funerals. It's the go to

598
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: politicians blah blah blah sort of church, and just absolutely stunning.

599
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't tend to like modern architecture, but really like that.

600
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: But going to the museum, so much of it was

601
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: modern art, which I just, I honestly think is dumb.

602
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: I mean not just I don't have an appreciation for

603
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: it or something like that. I actually think it's dumb.

604
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: I think you're being hoodwinked. I think it's a ruse.

605
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: I think you think you're supposed to go along with

606
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: it for some reason. It's just so dumb. Well, it's

607
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: like the banana tape to the wall from a couple

608
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, you know, it's that sort of thing.

609
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: And there's just a lot of it that's like that.

610
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: So they had this new special display in one of

611
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: your fancy museums, The working Man or something like that

612
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: was the title. If you have to do a whole

613
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: bunch of writing, in my opinion, to explain your art,

614
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: then the writing, what is the art. Then do you

615
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: need a whole bunch of writing to enjoy most of

616
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: the great pieces throughout history. No, you just look at

617
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: him and they are what they are, and it's amazing

618
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: that somebody painted that or sculpted that or whatever. But

619
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: if you have to explain to me what the banana

620
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: tape to the wall means, I feel like, Okay, so

621
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: the art is in your description. They had a pair

622
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: of multiple pairs of work boots and a long description

623
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,000

Speaker 1: a lot of classical music, stuff like that, it's my

664
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,520

Speaker 1: believe this is crap and you're being fooled, and it's

666
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,080
