WEBVTT - In Short: A-Holes! 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:11.119 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty arm Strong and Jack, 0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:17.200 Katie and He Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.360 A senior White House official tells me that Maduro's quote 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:30.640 overt arrogance, including his rejection of multiple offers to surrender 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.960 and his public dancing, helped persuade some of the president's 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.199 team that Maduro would not leave. 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:40.280 On his own his public dancing. I got to mention 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.159 that to my wife. Next time we're read of gathering 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.960 where there's dancing, honey, probably better not look what happened 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:45.920 to Maduro? All right? 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.479 So Maduro put out a video of himself dancing at 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:52.159 a party doing the Trump dance, like, oh yeah, you 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:53.000 think I'm worried? 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:59.400 Well, and Trump and Cump had offered him amnesty in 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.480 a life of riches and just get the hell out 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.360 of Venezuela. You gotta go. He said, no, no, I'm not. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.200 And two weeks later he's on the helicopter whoops. One 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:09.240 thing I don't get, and we'll I have to talk 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:10.840 about it later because you got a different thing to do. 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.720 But one thing I don't get is how how in 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.000 the hell do all. 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:19.360 Those helicopters and everything show up and the rangers break 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.640 in and all that different sort of stuff, and they're 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:23.800 still in their bedroom. 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.679 I don't get that sound sleepers. God, I would say 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.880 they got the good soundproofing in the walls. They got 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.160 the paid extra for the windows with the you know, 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:34.640 the sound pack. 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.120 We were listening. We had listening devices in there. And 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.400 so I saw the thing yesterday with Secretary of War 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:44.720 what's his name, Hegzeth saying the wife said twice, I 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.120 think I hear planes? Do you hear planes? Said twice 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.160 in the last three minutes between the. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:55.440 Doctor's layne, that's fine, apparently, wow wow. 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:55.840 Oh. 0:01:55.920 --> 0:02:00.640 And I saw one video online where you could see 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:05.480 fire coming from a building toward the US forces, like 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.440 it might have been machine gun or small arms of 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.520 some sort, but it was tracer so you could see it. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:15.079 And the response was instantaneous with what sort of missiles 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.960 of black Hawk fires and that building went kerk blewie. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.880 Here's a hint, US comes to town. Don't fire back. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.880 It's gonna end really bad for you. Just lay down 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.640 your arms, put your hands in the air. Were nice folks, 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.480 We're not going to kill you, all right, don't shoot 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.760 back anyway. Having said that, yeah, for ALLBA, we're as 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.760 bad as Putin or whatever crowd. 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.600 If we were put the guy would be dead. We 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.440 would have killed him a long time ago. You think 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.480 we would have arrested him, read him his Miranda rights 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.600 there in his bedroom, and put him on a plane 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.600 and you know, taken him to the United States for 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:50.440 a fair trial. 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.680 Does that sound like Putin? Right? And as if Putin 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.440 looks for an excuse to violate international norms, shut up. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.680 Speaking of which, there are a number of Demcrats moderate 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:05.480 saying Democrats who behind the scenes are saying, hey, why 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.840 are you telling us all to be against taking Maduro out? 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:13.160 He's a monster. They're bravely saying it behind the scenes. 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.680 But at least you know there's some sanity still alive 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:20.079 in that party. And to that end, you know, he 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.240 was a kleptocrat and his regime is still in place largely. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.880 And I've got some really good stuff on why the 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:31.680 CIA advised Trump, Look, don't decapitate the entire regime. The 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:36.040 opposition does not have the mechanics, if you will, of 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:41.240 governance in place. You've got to maintain order and have 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.960 an orderly transition is gonna take a while. But if 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.200 we throw it all up in the air, that's when 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.040 you end up with a more Iraqish situation, even though 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.560 there are real differences between the two places. But the 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.240 mechanisms of governance are important. If it all goes to hell, 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.920 then you have chaos. And so the CIA judge, No, 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.640 you keep them a door loyalists in place, and we 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.640 squeeze them, and we squeeze them and we squeeze them. 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.800 That's the way to get this done. Yeah, Otherwise you 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.360 end up with like well we had in Bagdad. We 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:08.840 rolled in there, we kick everybody out, and all of 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.120 a sudden, everybody's just raiding banks and there's garbage everywhere, 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.520 and just I mean it was complete anarchy. Yeah, he's 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:19.159 your favorite AI tool to look into. De bathification two 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.040 a's de bathification wasn't a good IDEA nice job down 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.040 Rumsfeldt anyway, So back to the nature of the madoration. 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.960 She had an uber driver over the Christmas that apparently 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:33.239 believed in de bathification. If you know what I'm talking, Oh, no, 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.600 unpleasant anyway, Where do I start? How about this? From 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:42.800 Beloved to Listener Jason, do we start with this or 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:47.480 end with this? Let's end with this, So no, let's 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.760 start with it. When I moved to Venezuela in nineteen 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.680 ninety four, the inflation exploded and made it very difficult 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.560 to buy foods, so we and several of the youth 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.359 we were with, would forage for bananas and mangoes to 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:06.080 add to our saltine porridge saltene porridge. Then President Caldera 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:11.680 ignited constitutional rights. I think he means ignored, implemented price 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.280 controls and oversaw. Annual inflation of seventy plus percent. Was 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.920 under this free regime that the population was inspired to 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.720 elect the communist Chevez. In other words, they elected a 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.800 guy who turned out to be a kleptocrat himself as 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.599 the winter storms of After the winter storms of ninety 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.680 nine two thousand, Chevez confiscated the new build hotels along 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.400 the Caribbean to how's the poor who'd lost to ranchitos 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.560 on the hills. He also confiscated oil developments private land. 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:39.160 In the media, these confiscations drove international investors out. When 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.400 I spoke with the people living in the commandeered hotels, 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.479 they thought Chevez was right to take claim over the 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.600 investment properties. Since he was helping the people international money 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:48.600 and investment dried up. 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.360 That sounds like the sort of things that Momdani would 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.640 like to do. Oh yeah, oh yeah, works over and 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.440 over again. Fast forward to twenty twenty six. Chevez is 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.359 gone now Maduro is also. But Machado is just a socialist. 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.560 The people look to the government to protect and provide 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.040 for them. She's not a freedom candidate. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.240 She's a socialist, just not the dictator type yet, although 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:11.200 con she was like ran the police that are enforcement force, 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.240 not law enforcement, but dictatorship enforcement. I think we're in 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.120 for a long series of disappointments before we see a 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.880 free Venezuela because they don't want it. They want softer socialism. 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.480 Those that wanted real freedom left when Chavez ruled. Then 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.800 another way, you've emigrated once Maduro punished them for speaking out. 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.880 There's Venezuelan here in Idaho who has tried in his 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.640 who was tried in essential as a trader to the 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.400 homeland as a sentence over his head for life imprisonment 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.720 because he spoke out for freedom. It's ugly. I've got 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.040 a dozen personal stories that showed that this is far 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:47.680 from zold kttptt OvR. There's an unfortunate word in here. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.680 Keep trying to polish the turd of Venezuelan reform. It's Jason. 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:52.360 Thanks Jason. 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.040 You know on the inflation, I was just reading in 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.320 the Wall Street Journal. At its worst, inflation in Venezuela 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:01.560 was one hundred and thirty thousand percent. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.800 I'm not sure I comprehend by Hey, no, I don't. 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.880 I can't even imagine the math on that one hundred 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:13.480 and thirty thousand percent inflation doing the math. So today 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.840 a big mac is seven dollars. Next year it will 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:22.560 be fifty thousand dollars or more. Yeah, here's another point 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.640 of view. This is by Nelson Marino. He writes, I 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.280 was an active participant through Venezuela's twenty twenty four presidential cycle, 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:36.920 which was won by mis Machado's appointed successor, and then 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.480 Maduro just stole the election. But he served as an 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.760 electoral coordinator, he writes, in the twenty eighth July twenty 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.400 eight elections and fighting to prevent Madua from illegally seizing power. 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.840 On July thirtieth, after he claimed victory, I was detained 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.840 and charged with four offenses resisting authority, obstruction of public roads, 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.880 incitement to hatred and terrorism. Sounds like some of those 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:01.280 charges that like Europe and Britain and Australia are leveling 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.240 on people for tweeting the wrong thing. But anyway, my 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.360 stay in the torture center known as Torracone or Tokorone 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:12.320 in Aragua State lasted two months, eighteen days and fifteen hours. 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.240 Inside I lived through the greatest horror I can imagine. 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.760 We were tortured. We had no access to clean drinking 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.080 water and no proper food. Medical care was deficient or delayed, 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.040 and our rights as citizens were trampled by the regimes lackeys. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.920 In Tokarone, there were more than one thousand people of 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.559 all cultures, nationalities and ages, including miners. There were people 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.640 from age seventeen years to eighty detained. At no point 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.360 was due process respected. We never brought were brought before 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.480 a judge. We had no rights, only what they called 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.760 privileges and then he talks into Every two weeks, family 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.040 members were allowed to bring a five liter bottle of 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.360 drinking water, some packs of crackers and one chocolate bar. 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.280 That's all. We were a humiliated forced to beg for 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.360 a bite of food or sip of water. Six people 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:58.200 lived in a single cell, no hygiene, no recreations, rotten, green, 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.160 foul smelling, full of fly worms. Food. 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.679 Uh now, to mention starvation and denial of water is 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.640 underappreciated on its own as a torture mechanism. 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.439 Oh yeah, yeah. The guards that took our own in 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.800 the regime they worked for are malevolent because they enjoyed 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.600 every act of torture they inflicted. This was a place 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.800 where abuse exceeded all logical limits of human cruelty. We 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.559 were beaten with batons, stripped naked, forced into scorching pavement, electrocuted, 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.839 deprived of food and sleep, denied urgent medical care. They 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.079 woke us up by throwing buckets of cold water or 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.800 urine on us. Oh my god, and you're starving. At 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.800 times they banged on the cell bars in the middle 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.199 of the night to startle us awake. Every day they 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.320 told us we were guilty, that we were terrorist, murders 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.360 and anti patriotic simply for opposing Nicholas Maduro's dictatorship. And 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.840 it goes on and on. God, it's wild. You could. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.880 That's exactly the same thing that has happened in so 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:59.280 many different socialist communist regimes throughout history, exactly the same thing. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:04.080 A couple of punchlines for you here, great story in 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.120 the New York Post and Michael get sixty three and 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.719 sixty four ready for me. Cops forced to separate pro 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:13.760 Maduro protesters from joyous Venezuelans in a wild New York 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:18.559 City scene. The NYPD was forced yesterday to separate clueless 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:23.520 lefty US protesters who wanted Nicholas Maduro freed from Venezuelans 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.959 and Cubans who were cheering the socialist dictator's capture as 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:32.120 both sides clashed outside court. Several hundred demonstrators were waiving 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:37.959 pre printed signs almost immediately after the abduction, reading free 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:43.960 President Maduro in no word for Venezuelan oil. Meanwhile, the 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:49.080 Venezuelans and Cubans were chanting and crying with joy that 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:50.720 he'd finally been removed. 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.320 Blah blah blah blah bah. Progressive groups that had once 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.920 denounced Meduros in human tactics were now saying he had 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.040 to be freed. And here's a Cuban shouting, You're an 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.760 a hole. You don't even know where Venezuela is at 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.760 One of the lefty protesters, Marius Sue immigrated from Caracas 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.000 a few years ago. Rage, they're not Venezuelan's, they're paid protesters. 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.760 They don't speak Spanish. There's another fellow who said, you're 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.400 not for my country, Go to Cuba. Eighty percent of 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.560 you people don't even understand what I'm saying. You don't 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.400 speak Spanish. Mfors. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.000 I wonder how many of those were printed by Russia 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:28.640 or China, those signs. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:35.079 Oh yeah, yeah, Well, actually one of the groups protesting, 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.599 one of the big DSA type groups protesting are directly 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.040 financially supported by the communist Chinese. Well that's that's one 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.800 of our biggest weaknesses. So China or Russia, can you know, 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:50.240 get the signs in the hands of literally useful idiots 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.000 and get him out there, and then it's so such 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:54.800 a division in our country because then you got a 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.800 whole bunch of people, you know, watching Fox News who 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.960 see that stuff and think liberals are look at the liberals, 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.000 you know, it represents a tiny number of people who 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.120 are dancing to the tune of the Russians. Might even 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.800 be being paid by the Russians, right right, or the Chinese. Sure, 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:15.640 no war for venezuela oil is a perfectly legitimate concern. 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:17.480 If you think we're gonna have boots on the ground 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.319 and it's all about oil. The up with Maduro stuff 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:25.160 is insanity. Yeah, you are a jackass. You are a 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.840 fool beyond description. All right, finally here's your dessert. You 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.520 put up with all the torture talk and polishing. You 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.000 know what's and the rest of it here is, ladies 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.840 and gentlemen. Chuck Schumer just yesterday, and then Chuck Schumer 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.520 in twenty twenty, back to back. 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.800 The American people did not sign up for this kind 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:48.080 of military adventurism. They wanted a president focused on America first, 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.120 focused on lowering the cost of living. The president brags 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:58.199 about his venezuela policy, Give us a break. He hasn't 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.720 brought an end to the Maduro regime. The Meduro regime 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.320 is more powerful today. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.000 So in twenty twenty six, Trump sucks because he got 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.800 rid of Maduro. In twenty twenty, Trump sucks because he 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:15.439 hasn't gotten rid of Maduro. Signed Chuck hilarious hypocrite Schumer. 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.480 It's just the way the game is played, which is 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.400 very makes us all very very cynical. It's a stupid 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:21.880 game out at all. 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.520 It is a stupid game, and I don't want to 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.760 play it either. More on the way, stay here. 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.200 Popular weight loss drug with Goobe is now available as 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.839 a daily pill. Drug maker Novo Nordisk says the starter 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.600 dose costs one hundred and forty nine bucks a month 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.000 for people paying cash and buying straight from the manufacturer. 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.040 That is two hundred dollars cheaper than the injectable version, 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.679 making the pill more affordable option for people whose insurance. 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:50.439 Plans don't cover the drug. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.839 Stronger doses will soon be available in pill form as well. 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.440 Yeah, so one hundred and fifty a month, which you know, 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.520 if you're super overweight, you might want to, you know, 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.560 cancel Netflix or whatever else and scrounge up the one 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.840 hundred and fifty a month. And I spend that on 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.959 ho hos every month. And if you have, yeah, think 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.480 about that. And if you have insurance, it's like twenty 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:14.360 five dollars for most people. So it has now become 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.440 everyone can get it now. I don't know if the 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:18.680 doctor lets you get a prescription. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.040 I don't know what the rules are in that do 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.840 you have to still have to be like a certain 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.240 amount of overweight before they leading let you get a prescription? 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.800 Oh boy, do you Yeah, I don't know the status 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.080 of that. Do you have to be diabetic, pre diabetic? 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.520 Just have any I mean, for instance, my doctor could argue, yeah, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.640 when his weight goes up, his blood pressure goes up, 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.360 and that's a serious condition, sleep apnea, which has all 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.760 kinds of horrible things that it does to you. A great, 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:42.240 great point. 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.160 Yeah, So I think a lot, a lot, a lot 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:45.800 of people are. 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:46.880 Going to be on these drugs. So and I've been 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.120 saying that since they were invented. Well, and if I 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.680 was an insurance executive, seriously, I'd say, anybody who freaking 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.520 wants it, give it to them. Yeah, it's going to 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.640 eliminate all sorts of expensive things we have to pay for. Hell, 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.400 come to their houses and deliver it. 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.520 As you person who has gained and lost a lot 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.560 of weight, Katie, you have an opinion on this, Well, 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.120 I was just there was an ad just released by 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.440 with GOVI that they're using it for sleep apne. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.080 Okay, well then got that. Then it's going to be 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:12.480 lots and lots of people. 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.040 So will it have any effect on the thousand pounds Sisters. 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.280 I wasn't watching this show, but it's on TLC and 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.560 apparently it had a just a bang up season last 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:24.880 year that everybody loved. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:32.680 Season two debuts tonight. Here's the promo fifteen Have you 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.040 Names stopped fighting? 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:34.320 Yet? 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:36.160 What? 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.160 Okay, you gotta stop it for their saying I'm sorry. 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.000 Name of the show needs to be mush Mouth Sisters 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.120 and their mush mouth friends. So we'll start this over again. 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.000 But one of the problems seems to be I've been 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.920 led to believe that this show is in English. 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:53.880 Are they too fat to talk? Or what is going 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.200 on here? Okay, let's let's try it again. 0:15:58.960 --> 0:15:59.880 Have you Names stop? 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.240 It feels like we're drifting apart. 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.320 Kes to be my best friend. We just assumed that 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.760 Cammy being made of bond Tammy called Amy a dead 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:17.000 beat mom. I can't handle her toxic ass no more. 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.080 We really need to kind of get it smoothed over. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.160 Families are supposed to pull together. I'm not gonna sit 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.240 here and have you feed me this blogey when I 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.200 don't like belongee. 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.960 So that's so, that is what TLC is really good at. 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:35.480 Their hook is their dwarves. They're overweight, they're you know, 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.840 they're child pageant stars, but they're really all a holes. 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.200 So it could be dwarves who are a holes. Fat 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.880 people are a holes, pageant people who are a holes 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:53.400 in short, a holes. Wow, that sounds like horrifyingly entertaining. 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.920 I don't think it's any good for your character to 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:56.640 watch that. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.680 I don't think it is either. I want to watch it, 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.320 but I'm sure that it makes me a worse person 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.000 to tune in. And by the way, that's misleaning to 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.639 a thousand pounds sisters suggests they're both a thousand pounds. 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.679 If it's a thousand pounds of sisters, that would be 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.600 more you know, honest TLC. Who can you trust if 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:20.199 you can't trust hilarious Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.160 There's been some that have been agitating in the Parliament 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.040 to nullify the laws to. 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.840 Remember Yah, stop that place. I'm sorry, we don't want 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:31.240 to come back with that. We wanted to set that 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:36.320 up and there we go, uh no where, everybody. What's 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.320 important is not solving the problem. It's as signing blame. 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.600 Who's the blame? So that the voice you just heard 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.359 an exciting preview of was and totally intentionally was Chris Minz, 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.560 who is the premier something like the governor of New 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:53.880 South Wales, which is one of the states within Australia. 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:58.520 Australia not only part of the English speaking world with 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.080 which we're pretty close, but an important, important ally in 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:07.440 the Five Eyes, the shared intelligence and a bulwark against 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.600 the Chinese and the Pacific. The Australians matter to us 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.560 as a guy who knows a guy who's very, very 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.959 involved with the Navy and has been for decades. Our 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:23.080 relationship with the Australian Navy is very important. Having said that, Australia, 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:29.280 like Britain, has gone nuts with the prosecuting, persecuting perfectly 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.920 reasonable free speech if they find that it could offend someone, 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:38.000 mostly because they're afraid of their immigrant population. Here is 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.120 Chris Min's the Premiere of New South Wales. 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:43.920 There's been some that have been agitating in the Parliament 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:48.320 to nullify the laws, to remove them off the statute books. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.880 Think about what kind of toxic message that would send 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:52.679 to the New South Wales community, and I think the 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.360 advocates for those changes need to explain what do they 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:59.200 want people to have the right to say what kind 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.240 of racist do they want to see or be able 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.160 to lawfully see on the streets of Sydney. I recognize, 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:07.880 and I'm fully sit from the beginning that we don't 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.240 have the same freedom of speech laws that they have 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.720 in the United States. And the reason for that is 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.720 that we want to hold to get up a multicultural 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.560 community and have people leave in pace free from the 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.800 kind of vilification and hatred that we do see around 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:22.200 the world. 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.080 I have several answers to that, the most simple being 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:29.680 it won't work. It will not work telling people they 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:38.080 cannot express their pain dissatisfaction on happiness, even if it's nasty, illegitimate, stupid, unhappiness. 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:41.639 Telling people you can't express what you think is wrong 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.240 is exactly the wrong way to do it. Well, I 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:46.000 read your goal. 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.119 I retweeted that clip at the beginning of vacation, and 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.440 I was happy to see the response by a lot 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:55.159 of our followers on Twitter, just as horrified as me 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:59.680 that anybody could have that attitude. It's just, you know, 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:01.760 up in the United States, and you take this whole 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.960 free speech thing for granted that apparently we shouldn't because 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:05.600 there's plenty. 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:05.879 Of people there. 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:10.880 I agree with that, dude, And as always with anything, 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.640 free speech, okay, Well, as soon as you go down 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:14.360 that road. 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.960 Who's deciding what is okay and what isn't? Who's making 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:18.640 that decision? 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.320 And why are they always right as to what is 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.320 the sort of thing that shouldn't be said as opposed 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:24.160 to this sort of thing that. 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.560 Can be said. That was the second thing I would 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:30.160 bring up to the honorable mister mens. I don't trust you, 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:35.280 in fact, I don't trust anybody to have the god 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:40.840 like king solomonesque judgment to decide what is an honest 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:48.399 and protected expression of dissatisfy, dissatisfaction or unhappiness and what 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:52.560 is not. I don't trust you to draw that line. 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.600 In fact, I don't trust anybody to draw that line. 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.680 Why because we've tried it roughly a million times as humanity, 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.000 and it always goes wrong. 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.520 Well, and then even if you got lucky and the 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:11.640 first person or or panel that you choose to make 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.040 those decisions you agree with, the next crowd is not 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:16.240 going to be somebody you'll like. 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:23.880 Well in the moment, someone could gain a significant advantage electoral, financial, whatever, 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:26.640 But you know, keeping the thumb on that scale. It's 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.359 just not hate speech exactly, but that could get the 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:33.280 other guy elected. Chris, Dude, they're going to do that 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.359 the first second they get a chance. How can you 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:40.200 be such a naive, fool or afraid of your immigrant 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:44.880 population that you believe that. How could you be that naive. 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.760 I'm just astounded by that. He could just be afraid. 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.520
