WEBVTT - I'm Not An Anti-Vaxxer. I'm An Anti-Tasker. 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 --> 0:00:17.320 Arm Strong and Getty, and he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.560 It has been stated by many that the first month 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:33.760 of our presidency, it's our presidency is the most successful 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:35.479 in the history. 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.960 Of our nation by Manada. 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:52.040 And what makes it even more impressive is that do 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:53.239 you know who number two is? 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:55.760 George Washington? How about that? 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.639 I don't know about that list, but we'll take it. 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:01.200 There you go. 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.960 It was very much like a campaign rally. It was entertaining. 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.920 This fake not so too and so toos aren't so 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.160 toos anymore. I refer to it as the so tack 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.800 the state of the ass kicking speech, as it was 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.120 a well. One of our charming correspondents described it as 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.600 a curb stomping of Democrats. I never used that term 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.960 because I find it disgusting and I don't like violence. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:30.160 But as a snapshot of the current political landscape, it 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.240 was so revealing in ways that we will discuss. 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.360 Wow, I didn't. I saw some MSNBC coverage afterwards. One 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.880 of the hosts, I think it was Rachel Maddow called 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:48.440 Trump's recognition of that cancer survivor kid disgusting, not only 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.440 something you don't stand and cheer for or have tears 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.919 streaming down your face because it was so damn cute. 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.360 Disgusting is what MSNBC called it. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.200 Right, And he was trying to use the goodwill toward 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:06.280 the poor cancer stricken boy to justify his hilarian dictator 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.919 urges or something blah blah blah. So when their side 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.600 does it, it's brilliant, and when the other side does it, 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:13.200 it's a horror. 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:14.799 Okay, that's where we are. 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.800 Oh one other thing, I just I saw this on 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:22.600 Morning Joe Today on MSNBC. Somebody, I'm guessing somebody who 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:30.359 hates Trump had a live mic on JD and Johnson 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.480 behind Trump before Trump walked in, and so they had 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.280 some of the audio of when they're just standing there 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.440 talking while everybody's milling around before the thing started, and 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.280 they played it on Morning Joe's dressing. Yeah, how did 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.240 that leak out? Somebody's in charge of the sound. I mean, 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.040 there are mics there, and if there are mics there, 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.000 I mean we're in this business. If there are mics 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:51.560 around you, they can be turned on or they can 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.639 be listened to in Q and you can record them 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.959 in Q and whatever. And somebody recorded it and got 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.360 it to Morning Joe and they played it luckily for 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.600 JD and uh and uh. Speaker Johnson, that was nothing 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:10.280 horrifying JD wise enough, he started to say something and 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.160 then he pulled Johnson in close and whispered it in 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.480 his ear, so he knew there were live mics around. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.920 Possibly, But how uncool is that? 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.679 Yeah, wow, that's somebody on the House technical staff, No 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.239 doubt it's got to be again. 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.360 When when will the norm breaking end? When will the 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:27.919 norm breaking? 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.919 In the fact that a Democrat, an old man Democrat, 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.079 stood up and just wouldn't start stop yelling, and Speaker 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.000 Johnson had to say, Okay, you got to stop yelling 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.520 or we're gonna kick you out of here, basically, and 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.640 the old man kept yelling, and so they brought the 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.000 cops over, you know, the the house cops, and I'll 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.800 sshered him on out of there. But the fact that 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.680 that's barely even news today shows you where we are. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.320 If that had happened twenty years ago, it would have 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:52.920 just been. 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:59.119 Crazy right right honestly though it was so clearly performative. 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.400 Oh ye'll play you some some clips In a second. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:08.640 Crazy old woke cane shaking old fart, but decides to 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.040 make himself a hero by getting kicked out. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.240 All right, so you're not gonna sit down. Now you 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:13.960 got to kick you out. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.159 Let's go through. We'll waste thirty seconds of our lives there. 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:18.560 Now you're happy, Now you're out there. 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:18.840 Oh yeah. 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.200 My first thought is I'd like to go to his 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.080 Twitter page and see how many people he just gained 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.039 and how much fundraising he gets to do off of that, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:28.280 because that's the era we live in. 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.840 Sure, But what I had another point on that, well 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:31.440 was my other point. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.480 Oh but not that many years ago. Your own party 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.560 would have disowned you for acting like that. Yeah, they 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.520 wouldn't have thought it was cool. You'd have been disowned 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:41.400 by your party. You'd been you'd have been kicked off 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.960 any committee. No, that's not the way we act. That's 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.240 just you know, we live in a different are And 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.760 I just like I said earlier, how far will it go? 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.440 How when has the pendulum swung clear to the end 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:55.080 of breaking norms and you know, not following any unwritten 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:55.840 rules anymore. 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.480 I just wonder how far. We have to go TBD. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.479 My friend, I let you know when it happens. Here's 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.000 how it opened, Michael hit it. 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:07.920 Come on, mister speaker, the President of the United States. 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:21.400 What clip was that number? Forty? Michael, Here's how it began. 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:26.840 That was forty? All right? This again? Good lord? All right, 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:27.719 play the next one. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:35.160 Then, Members of the United States Congress, thank you very much, 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:40.880 and to my fellow citizens, America is back. 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.360 That's a good opening. It is next clip. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.000 Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:58.240 Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America. 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:03.320 From that moment, there's been nothing but swift and unrelenting 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:07.400 action to usher in the greatest and most successful era 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:08.839 in the. 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:09.920 History of our country. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.520 We have accomplished more in forty three days, and most 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.920 administrations accomplished in four years or eight years. 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.000 And we are just getting started. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.799 So I was fine, and the Republicans were very pleased 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.239 with it, and it is your typical gung ho opening 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.640 ninety seconds or so. But here's where it turned ugly 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:35.719 and controversial. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:41.440 The presidential election of November fifth was a mandate like 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.720 has not been seen in many decades. We won all 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.800 seven swing states, giving us an electoral College. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.000 Victory of three hundred and twelve volts. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.080 We won the popular vote by big numbers and one 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.159 counties in our country. 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.719 Kill him, start. 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:15.920 Him, pet him with his whole cane. So that was 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.240 Al Green, not the legendary soul singer, but a different 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:24.240 ancient guy. Would you have Rich Lowry's Joe candy? That 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:28.240 was so good. He's this crazed old guy who even 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.720 the Democrats are like, oh God, here he goes again. 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.200 He's one of those characters. 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.720 But he was standing there bellowing angrily as if Trump 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.480 had traversed his lawn. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.720 And literally shaking his cane. Yeah. 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.640 Rich Lowry tweeted, Democrats are the party of the future, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.240 and if you don't believe him, they have a seventy 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:52.840 seven year old man shaking his cane to prove it. 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.520 It was We're the party of the hip in the young. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:08:00.440 I'm eighty years old shaking my cane. It was so silly. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:01.680 It was truly entertaining. 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.160 And I guess what you're saying about norm breaking and 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.560 decency and mutual respect and that sort of thing, and 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.200 I value that. I am not cynical about that at all. 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.400 But in terms of your entertainment, I was just delighted. 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:16.440 Anyway where we're. 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.400 Okay, well, let me release a lion in there. I mean, 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.320 if the goal should just be entertained, that's Michael. 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.760 Lawmakers doing TikTok challenges. Oh yeah, exactly. 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.000 Oh my gosh, jumping buckets, ice water over their heads, 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.360 or trying to eat cinnamon or got those what else? Yeah? Yeah, right, hey, 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.880 I say try the lion thing once. Let's not be 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.839 can't do guys, maybe who knows. But as a as 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.520 I said last hour, as a snapshot of the current 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.360 political scene, I thought it was. It was really revealing 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.839 and incredibly discouraging for Democrats. And again here's your your 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.600 note of caution. These things change, they move in cycles. 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.280 I tell you what, you want to talk about one 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.959 organization on Earth that can screw up a good thing, 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:03.320 it's the Republican Party. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.200 But so the. 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:11.120 President was just brimming with confidence all throughout the whole speech, 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:12.880 although he lost me. 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:14.599 It was interminable. 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.280 It was the longest ever, right, longest ever yep, and 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.360 the second, third, fourth, and fifth longest ever were like 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.840 twice as long as they needed to be. 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.600 So it was like designed, I wouldn't do that. Tell Kaida, 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:26.440 make them listen. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:31.480 To them old But anyway, so the president was quite confident, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.600 and the Republicans in the chamber were a bully hint and. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.800 Did he not mostly read off a teleprompter, which means 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.040 somebody wrote a ninety minute speech. 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.320 Mostly, although in Trumpetan fashion, he departed from it to 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.320 riff a little bit a number of times. I couldn't 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.040 tell you how much. I wasn't really paying attention to that, 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.200 but some But anyway, and then they had a number 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:55.400 of guests, including the beautiful little lad who's been fighting 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.680 cancer and his thing is he's always wanted to be 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.800 a cop, so he gets honorary deputy badges from various 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.199 departments and Trump, we can play the tape. I think 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.240 we have it around here somewhere, although if our lists 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.199 are off, Michael I can ask for them and it's 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.880 not going to do us any good. Oh, okay, do 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.680 we have the little lad. There's so many clips. Somebody's 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.360 shouting to Michael's here if you can figure it out. 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.960 But anyway, just back to the snapshot thing. So you 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.079 had all of that going on, and it was all 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.240 coming off very well, just in terms of political theater, 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:33.040 and the Democrats response was a a crazy old lunatic 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:34.360 shaking his cane at Trump. 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.360 As we've discussed b. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.319 There like dressed in colors that nobody knew and there 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.600 were several different colors and nobody can and then holding 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.600 up these dopey little signs that looked exactly like Wiley 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:52.920 coyote in the road Runner cartoons, with various elon steeles 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:59.000 or no doge or you know, not lies, not true, yeah, whatever, 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.800 and it just it came off as so pathetic and aimless. 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.960 Oh and then the other aspect of it was and 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:10.120 Trump riffed about this in forty seven. Go ahead, and 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.720 I'll play forty seven. I thought it was a key 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:13.559 home politically. 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.840 This is my fifth such speech to Congress, and once 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.160 again I look at the Democrats in front of me, 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.120 and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.800 to make them happy, or to make them stand or 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.120 smile or applaud Nothing I can do. 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:32.880 I could find a cure. 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:37.160 To the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:42.000 out entire nations, or announce the answers to the greatest 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:46.080 economy and history, or the stoppage of crime to the 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:50.920 lowest levels ever recorded. And these people sitting right here 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.560 will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.920 cheer for these astronomical achievements. 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.160 They won't do it no matter what. 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.760 Five five times I've been up here. It's very sad 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:06.480 and it just shouldn't be this. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.839 Well, you know, and that's plenty of that. He missed 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.800 a great opportunity. Not long after that he was talking, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.040 he went through a list of the insane things Doges 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.880 found that were all, you know, pretty acquainted with at 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:26.640 this point. And he could have said, we just found 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.080 hundreds of millions of dollars of waste of taxpayer money. 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.120 Why are you not. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:35.920 Applauding stopping the waste of taxpayer money? Are you in 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:40.240 favor of wasting taxpayer money? Help me understand, you know something. 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:41.920 They could have just killed him, like for the next 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:43.600 five election cycles. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:47.800 But he did not. Yeah, that's a good one. So 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.280 he had a long list of like. 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.440 Transcoloring books for penguins and an arctica or various things they. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:56.959 Were finding me. 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.719 Yeah, fifty nine million dollars for hotel rooms for a 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.520 lead immigrants in New York all sorts of stuff like that. 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.480 There are some other highlights culture stuff that is so 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:08.680 incredibly important. 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:09.760 I get to it in a little bit. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.560 I can't believe that they're they're going to continue to 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.920 uh cheerlead dudes participating in girls' sports based on all 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:20.240 It's just that's crazy. 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:21.000 It's just crazy. 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:22.959 Yeah, we got more in the way any thoughts text 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.319 line four one five KFTC. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.200 We're getting wokeness out of our schools and out of 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:36.240 our military, and it's already out, and it's out of 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:37.280 our society. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:41.920 We don't want it. Wokeness is trouble. Wokeness is bad. 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:43.280 It's gone. 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.680 It's gone, and we feel so much better for it, 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:47.559 don't we do? 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:48.480 We feel better? 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:56.040 That was getting towards the end during the just riffing, 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:57.679 just it's fine. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.640 I'm just going to talk till I get tired of talking. 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.480 Section of the speech. You know what woke means. It 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:03.480 means you're a loser. 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.000 So he did get into the social stuff, Jackie, were 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:07.680 you going to jump in there before I plunge ahead 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:08.160 with the clips. 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:12.280 I was ninety minutes of the longest one anybody's ever given, 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.760 even longer than Bill Clinton's which has been mocked for 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.960 years of being a Dronathan Trump's was longer. For whatever reason, 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.920 I speculated earlier that he might understand that people don't 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.120 watch these anymore and they're just going to live on 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.160 in clips. And why not put as many clips out 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.560 there as possible. I don't know, But Charles C. W. 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.560 Cook made the point that Thomas Jefferson set the precedent 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.760 of sending a written message to Congress, believing that a 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.640 personal delivery resembled a speech from a throne too much. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.120 So we didn't want that look of a monarchy, so 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.040 deliver it in writing. Woodrow Wilson is the one that 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.080 started it with showing up in person and ending that tradition, 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:52.320 and that's how we end up with what we had 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:52.840 last night. 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.280 So we're going to skip ahead a little bit, as 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.320 I the clock. He's talking about ending DEI and will 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.600 be woke no longer. Let's hear fifty to Michael. 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.720 We have removed the poison of critical race theory from 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.000 our public schools, and I signed an order making it 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:12.320 the official policy of the United States government that there 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:17.520 are only two genders, male and female. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.040 And then let's jump right into fifty three because it's 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:21.760 on the same theme. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:27.360 I also signed an executive order to ben men from 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:31.200 playing in women's sports. 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:33.240 Three years ago. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.880 Peyton McNabb was an all star high school athlete, one 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.720 of the best, preparing for a future in college sports. 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.240 But when her girl's volleyball match was invaded by a male, 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:50.560 he smashed the ball so hard in Peyton's face, causing 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:56.320 traumatic brain injury, partially paralyzing her right side, and ending 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:01.040 her athletic career. It was a shot like she's never 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.680 seen before. She's never seen anything like it. Peyton is 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.840 here tonight in the gallery, and Peyton from now on, 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.080 schools will kick the men off the girls team or 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.040 they will lose all federal funding. 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.600 I liked what Bill mcgern said in the Wall Street Journal. 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.600 He talks about the President saying, no matter what I do, 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.360 these people sitting right here, the Democrats will not clap, 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.080 They will not recognize it. What the American people saw 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.480 on their TV screens only confirmed what the President said. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.320 This was underscored by the absurd site of Democratic women 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.120 wearing pink to protest the negative effect they say mister 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.080 Trump's policies have had on women, and this one day 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:44.440 after not a single Democratic senator voted to protect female 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.040 athletes by keeping males out of women's in girls' sports. 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.000 All Democrats did Tuesday night was to confirm why they 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.280 lost in November. I believe they're going to die on 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:58.400 that hill all things. It's like eighty five to six, right, 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.960 it ain't going to get us an issue among things 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:02.520 coming up. 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.000 I'm going to start going to Katie for my medical advice. 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.480 She diagnosed me correctly in my sickness last week, and 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.520 I should have listened to her and much more. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:14.480 On the way, stay with us, armstrong and getdy. 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:20.680 The Los Angeles grocery store chain Arewan is facing criticism 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.199 for offering a single strawberry for nineteen dollars or for 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.960 the same price they let you look at an egg. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:32.800 By the way, I mentioned that the other day. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.520 If you've never been to one of those grocery stores, 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.639 if you're ever in the Los Angeles area, go to 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:37.720 one of those grocery stores. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.240 It's it's unbelievable. 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:44.040 And airwon that which is nowhere spelled backwards or close 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:44.359 to it. 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:45.760 That's where the name comes from. 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:51.480 Yeah, name likely you gotta be a rich hippie because 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.440 it's everything in there is super expensive, but the choices 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:55.480 are just amazing. 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.840 Anyway, who knows what things are going to cost here 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.080 in the near future. With the whole hariff battle going on, 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.159 how long will that last? Well, here's old Lutnik, one 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.679 of our new favorite guys in the in the cabinet. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.399 He's the Secretary of Commerce. He was on TV just 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:10.040 a little bit ago. 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:15.360 The President is listening to the offers from Mexico and Canada. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.159 He's thinking about trying to do something in the middle. 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.080 He's thinking about it. We're talking about it. We're gonna 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.199 when I leave here, I'm gonna go talk about it 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.320 with him. And I think early this afternoon or this afternoon, 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:29.520 we expect to make an announcement. And my my thinking 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.520 is it's going to be somewhere in the middle, So 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.159 not one hundred percent of all products and not none, 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.480 somewhere in the middle, because I think Mexico and Canada 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.199 are trying the best and let's see where we end up. 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.600 So I do think somewhere in the middle is a 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:44.600 likely outcome. 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.320 So similar to the last couple of times we've had 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.280 big tear iff things happen, maybe like within a day, 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.159 they're gonna announce it's off, we got what we wanted, 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.200 or a lot of it's off, or part of it's 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.560 off or whatever. I guess we'll see, right, And not surprisingly, 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.439 the markets have at least tweaked upward a little bit 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.160 to feeling more optimistic. We'll see it'll be fine. Yeah, 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.400 I won't, and we'll let you know at the time. 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:10.840 Just you know, it's it's funny. 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:12.639 What am I going to do? I'll I'll react to 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:14.520 you know, I'll adjust my life accordingly. 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.399 Yeah, it's the age of hyperbole, in the age of 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.520 desperation for clicks. And so, whether it's weather reports, which 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:23.680 is one of the worst, I mean, it's like the 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.840 rarest thing in broadcast media is for somebody to underestimate 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.200 how bad a storm might be. 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:31.480 Because every storm. 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.600 That sweeps across the nation, ABC News is the worst, 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.879 is the killer storm that's paralyzing the Midwest or the 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.639 East or whatever. Every storm is coming for you and 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.879 your children, and it almost never pans out. 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.920 And if it does, you know what to do? Is there? 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:49.200 Well, nobody ever leads with it's winter and it's gonna snow, surprise, surprise, 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.240 And so we're probably stupid not to engage in that much. 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.400 But the tariff thing, yeah, I could have some effect, 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:57.720 but we'll have to see how long it lasts. And 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.920 you know, economics tends to counter alence itself and blah 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:01.840 blah blah, so we'll have. 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:02.360 To find out. 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.320 Sorry, if you came here to be terrified or whatever, 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:06.000 you're not. 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:06.520 Gonna get it. 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:10.520 Other developing stories. So, Trump, during his whatever that speech 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.120 was last night, mentions that Zelensky. 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:16.000 That's the so tac jack, the state of the ass kicking, 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:17.119 that's what I'm calling it. 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:22.400 Zelensky put out a statement to Trump that hey, I'm 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.439 willing to sign the deal or whatever. I'll show up 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:27.680 in a suit and apologize or something along those lines. 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:28.720 Essentially. Yeah. 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:35.320 Anyway, CIA director John Ratcliffe was on Mario Baromo's show 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:39.320 today and said, the US has paused weapons, shipments and 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:43.439 intelligence to Ukraine. We've cut off their intelligence, which was 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:46.240 really a big part of what. 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:47.040 Our aid was. 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:50.639 After the meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, Ratcliffe 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:52.960 says he looks forward to lifting the pause and working 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:54.160 with Ukraine towards peace. 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:58.439 Following the letter to the BOTUS. But man, that's some 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:04.639 serious hardball and they're fighting literally for their survival, and 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:08.200 I wonder, like many people, wonder, where's the hardball toward Putin? 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:13.040 Could be? The answer is it's just secret. It's not public. 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:18.040 I think a lot of the media class assumes that 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:19.360 it doesn't exist at all. 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:21.520 I doubt that. 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.520 I certainly hope that's not true, because Putin is an 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:29.000 evil child, murdering, abducting, genocidal. 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:38.520 Lunatic, anti Christian, anti everything, anti everything but his wealth. Katie, 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.080
