1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center. 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Jettiety and he 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Yetty Well think that they are seeing a drone. 5 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 3: It is actually an airplane and they're using a high 6 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 3: powered laser pointer pointing it at the cockpit of an airplane. 7 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: It's called a laser strike. 8 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 3: The FAA has just given us new data that says 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 3: that there is a massive uptick in these laser strikes, typically. 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 2: On a night nationwide. 11 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 3: Just last night, the FA tells me that pilots reported 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty three laser strikes nationwide. No doubt 13 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 3: people thinking they are drone hunting. So many people have 14 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 3: been warned about this already. The problem here is that 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 3: folks can really get caught relatively easily. 16 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: You don't want to do this. 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 3: You can blind pilots during the most critical time that 18 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 3: they're flying down low takeoff or landing to an eleven 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 3: one thousand dollars Fine, if the FA catches you and 20 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 3: it is a felony, it could land you with jail time. 21 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 2: There you go. 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 4: So yeah, this is clearly progressed from a probably legitimate 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 4: news story to a craze now to just madness. 24 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: I wonder if it'll be a resolution on this story 25 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: or it'll just disappear during the next two weeks when 26 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: we kind of all go into Christmas New Year's mode 27 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: and we'll come back and wonder, I wonder what happened 28 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: with that drone thing. That's my prediction that choice. Yeah. 29 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, these things just go away like smoke. These big 30 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 4: stories that really ought to have a resolution. You could 31 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 4: list half a dozen of them. They just kind of 32 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 4: peter out. 33 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: Different story, which I don't think is really a big deal, 34 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 2: but this is about Amazon and a strike. 35 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: We are now part of that ticket. We're in it 36 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: and we're going through it. These are drivers that are 37 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: trying to say that we need better pay and we 38 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: need better benefits, and Amazon is basically saying that they're 39 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: not in charge. 40 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: This is with the Teamsters. 41 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: Union, and we'll go on for the entire day here masks. 42 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: So the I'm not into this, but the Teamsters, which 43 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: aren't actually in Amazon, are trying to get into Amazon, 44 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: and then they're involved in this blah blah blah, and 45 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: that'll turn out. However, it's going to turn out, but 46 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 2: our executive producer Hansen says the chanting is particularly good. 47 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: Here is the thousands of people out of one point 48 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: however many million Amazon employees, but thousands of people that 49 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: are striking today and the workers and drivers chanting. Wow, 50 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: that's the most annoying chance I've ever heard. I'm never 51 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 2: going to get anybody to your son, who are we? Huh? 52 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: Who are we? We're still teamsterairs. I will do whatever 53 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: I've got to do to make that quit. I will 54 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: join your union or outlaw or whatever will make you stop. Wow. 55 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: That is one of the most annoying chants I've ever heard. 56 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: Hey, let me do this just so I can close 57 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: the tab. I'd miss this in the fairly long article 58 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 4: about the top secret gift shops like the one at 59 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 4: the CIA in Washington, DC. The CIA does have a 60 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 4: pink and white striped baby onesie that's emblazoned with the 61 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 4: words the result of an undercover operation. 62 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: Ah.

The man is suffering. You'd think 69 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 4: you'd get more mercy and kindness out of the internet. 70 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's hilarious. More compassion. And I'm going to 71 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: do some traveling, going to drive halfway cross country as 72 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: I usually do, back to Kansas with the kids, and 73 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: we'll do what we call cousin Christmas and that'll be 74 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: a lot of fun. But got to be all prepared 75 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 2: for that, helping the weather holds out.

The biggest 99 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: problem with the whole Time Square New Year's Eve thing 100 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 2: is no bathrooms. You gotta be there for like six hours, 101 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: and there's no like leaving and coming back, and very 102 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: very few opportunities to peace. You just kind of got 103 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 2: to hold it. Adult diaper is your other option? Do 104 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: people do that? I don't know. And you're gonna and 105 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 2: you're gonna pass that off as a good expenditure of 106 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: your time or how you want to live your life. 107 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 2: You're going to stand out in the probably cold in 108 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: a diaper, a wet diaper full of your own urine, 109 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: or maybe worse. 110 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 4: Well, it wakes it away from the skin to leave 111 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 4: you feeling dry jack. 112 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: So that you can see Ariana Grande sing something close 113 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: to Midnight with Ryan Seacrest, think something with the ball drop. 114 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 2: I did see CNN as advertising Big Anderson Cooper and 115 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: his gay compatriot. They're both gay. But every I've watched 116 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: the have you ever actually watched any of that? Everyone 117 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: I've watched it, I thought, well, this is the last 118 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: year doing that, because they're they're they're completely out of control. 119 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: I mean, they're just drunk and giggling, and whenever they 120 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: do talk they say really inappropriate things, and I think, well, 121 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 2: that'll be the end of this. But they're promoing it 122 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 2: more than ever this year, so I wonder if it, 123 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: like actually gets ratings and they make money off of 124 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 2: it because CNN's dying. And then I think, I don't care. 125 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: Bring back the drunk gay guys saying inappropriate things. It's 126 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 2: the only show we've got to get to any ratings. 127 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: I shouldn't judge because I've never done it. But the 128 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: New Year's Eve Time Square thing strikes me very much. 129 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: Is the sort of person who would say, oh, yeah, 130 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: I've done that, and it is amazing. Who hangs out 131 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: with people who say, Oh, that is so cool. I 132 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: wish I could do that. I'm so jealous. And neither 133 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: one of them means a word. 134 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 4: They say, that's the sort of people I think who 135 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 4: do it, But I don't know. I don't like big 136 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 4: gatherings and just forced cheer.

You're a bad person. If you're uncomfortable 175 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: with this. Speaking of gender bending madness really nuts. Yeah 176 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: it is. That's why I am so fired up about it. 177 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 4: So speaking of gender bending madness, this is kind of 178 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 4: a public service feature because awareness is upstream, as they say, 179 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 4: of action, and so much of the madness that's going 180 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 4: on in schools. 181 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: People aren't aware of. They assume what's being taught to. 182 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 4: Their kids is virtually the same as what they were 183 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 4: taught as kids. And there's so much sickness in America's 184 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 4: public schools right now. It's inclusive places you might be surprised. 185 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 2: Well, we'll start. 186 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 4: In not surprisingly California, specifically Rancho Buena Vista. 187 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: This is James. He is a parent. 188 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 6: I am here to talk about an assignment that was 189 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 6: showed into my daughter's classroom. 190 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to read the assignment. 191 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 6: I do have a picture, but that's you know, never 192 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 6: hear whether it says stand in a circle, each of 193 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 6: you is now gay or lesbian, and you're about to 194 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 6: begin your coming out process. You cannot talk for the 195 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 6: rest of this activity. I don't see how this is 196 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 6: part of the California curriculum for education. There's nothing that 197 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 6: it does other than groom children. 198 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 4: So in math class you have to stand in a 199 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 4: circle and practice coming out. 200 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 2: I would hate that if it were in some sort 201 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 2: of sexuality and health class. The fact that it's in 202 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: math class when you've got such low proficiency in math 203 00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 2: is beyond disturbing. Now this is all in California. We 204 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: mentioned this yesterday. 205 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 4: There's a new law that makes it extremely difficult to 206 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 4: get pornography out of California libraries, including school libraries. If 207 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 4: it involves a black person, or a gay person or 208 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 4: a gender non what the hell person, You can have 209 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 4: as much porn as you want. It's sick and unbelievable, 210 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 4: but again that's California. Abigail Shreier, The Fabulous Abigail Shreier 211 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: wrote a great story about the It's entitled The Kindergarten 212 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 4: into Fada. This happens to be in La as well 213 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,599 Speaker 4: in Siksi, California, where all of the teachers at the 214 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 4: Big Teachers' Union meeting are talking about how to get 215 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: kids as young as kindergarteners to understand the evil colonial 216 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 4: oppressor Zionist state and what it's doing to the poor Palestinians. Kindergarteners. Literally, 217 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 4: they're having a meeting. It was recorded. I have the 218 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 4: quotes talking about how to get the kids to be 219 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 4: pro Palestinian elementary school. 220 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 2: All right, but let's move on. 221 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 4: An Oregon school district closed all schools and offices after 222 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 4: it was revealed that they did not report to law 223 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 4: enforcement at least six instances of documented cases of children 224 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 4: reporting allegedly being sexually abused by teachers. It emerged after 225 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: a couple of teachers were actually arrested for sex crimes. 226 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 4: But the administration and the unions and the teachers themselves, 227 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 4: instead of saying yeah, they're molesting kids and coming on 228 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 4: to them and sexualizing them, they kept it all quiet 229 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 4: to protect their thing. I guess one is reminded of 230 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 4: the Catholic Church in a way. 231 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 2: For the women's volleyball or women's swimming are all kinds 232 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: of different organizations. Yeah, for the sake of the argument. 233 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 4: San Francisco tried to Shudder, one of the few successful 234 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: schools in the district because it had disproportionately Asian and 235 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 4: white kids excelling. They are trying to close that in 236 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 4: favor of keeping open the utterly failing schools. But we'll 237 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 4: skip that because California again. Students at districts SEV forty 238 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 4: five in Minnesota received a questionnaire asking them how they 239 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 4: would communicate their desire to be more adventurous in bed? 240 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 2: What what age? Let's see mean, no age is appropriate. 241 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: I don't even want that for the seniors. I mean, 242 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 2: what role is the school? Happened that? 243 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure it's high school. The superintendent of the 244 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 4: school district admitted that the questionnaire was inappropriate and that 245 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 4: the teacher would be subject to a disciplinary process. But 246 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 4: as part of the questionnaire of the students, you want 247 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 4: your partner to be more adventurous in the bedroom, How 248 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 4: do you communicate your desire? 249 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: How are your choices at high school? How do you 250 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: get so crazy that you think that's part of your 251 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: job as a high school teacher. 252 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's part of my purpose in bringing this up. 253 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 4: But so and it's not just that. How do you 254 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 4: communicate your desire? First choice? Handcuff them to the bed 255 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 4: and take matters into your own hands. 256 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: Two you don't it's too awkward to talk about. 257 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 4: Three, tell them you love your sex life, but have 258 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 4: some ideas to spice things up. Or four leave your 259 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 4: laptop open to a sex toy website for them to 260 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 4: accidentally see sexualizing kids. Oh here we are back in California. 261 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 4: Teachers UNI uniforms. It's not controversial for four year old 262 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 4: boys to wear dresses to school, and that kindergarten teachers 263 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 4: should actively. 264 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 2: Bring up sex roles. 265 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 4: And gender expression to kids as young as kindergarten. They 266 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 4: should initiate the discussion. 267 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 2: Get into detail. Crazy, you're so nuts. I know I'm 268 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: not talking to any of you because you're not. You 269 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: wouldn't listen to the show. But what the hell did 270 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: that person always exist? That crowd always exists. They just 271 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: hadn't been able to get into mainstream life, and now 272 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: we've allowed them into mainstream life for all kinds of 273 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: stupid reasons. Yeah, I think so. 274 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 4: They dared not say what they had in mind because 275 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 4: they knew what the rest of the world thought of it. 276 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 4: And this, finally is a story from Newton, Massachusetts. You 277 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 4: had another blue state, which I do not think is 278 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 4: a coincidence. It's a teacher writing quite movingly about their 279 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 4: school district launching into this near religious fervor for education equity, 280 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 4: and how they wouldn't have elite classes anymore. They would 281 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 4: put the advanced math kids in with the slowest math kids, 282 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 4: and that way the other guys would get up to 283 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 4: speed and there wouldn't How would that happen, exactly inequity, 284 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 4: There wouldn't. There would be equity in grading in school 285 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 4: and everybody would learn. And it was a heartbreaking, miserable 286 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 4: failure for everybody concerned. 287 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 2: That shocks teachers seen openly. 288 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 4: Weeping in the hallways because it was such a miserable failure, 289 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 4: But the activists made them continue on. 290 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: Kind of shocking, because I really thought that would work, 291 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: that the kids wud struggle with mac with would all 292 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 2: of a sudden be better at it if they were 293 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: in the same class with the people that are really 294 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: good at it. 295 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 4: It ends with the concept of anti racism often cited 296 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 4: by administration officials. Should not involve blindly insisting that these 297 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 4: classes are working simply because they make administrators feel good. 298 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: Effective anti racism shouldn't entail the should have I'm sorry, 299 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 4: should intail having the courage to admit they're not working 300 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 4: and finding something better. There's no shame in failure. There 301 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 4: is shame and failing over and over again and calling 302 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 4: it success. 303 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: So we're going to check in on Uh, we're not 304 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: real big on the whole government shut down, continuing a 305 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 2: resolution talk around here, But there was a giant bill 306 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: yesterday that was going to succeed and then Elon and 307 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: Trump turned against it and it did not succeed. 308 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 4: Is that trickling sounds you're hearing? Perhaps the swamp starting 309 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 4: to drain? It could be hmmm, we'll get into that 310 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 4: a little bit coming up.

The bipartisan deal that would keep the government 316 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 7: up and running for three months was brokered by Republican 317 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 7: House Speaker Mike Johnson Musk, who President elect Donald Trump 318 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 7: has tapped to lead a new Department on Government Efficiency, 319 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 7: posting on X this spending bill is a crime. The 320 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 7: bill would fund the government through mid March among other things, 321 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 7: it includes one hundred billion dollars in disaster relief and 322 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 7: billions more in assistance for farmers. But Musk says it's 323 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 7: also bloated with wasteful spending. 324 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 4: It's like me describing my trip to a horror house 325 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 4: and a strip club and a opium den and the 326 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 4: drug store on the way home to my wife is, 327 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 4: among other things, I'll be stopping at the drug store 328 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 4: to pick up your lipstick for you. 329 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: Come on, nice news coverage.

Right, So Tuesday night, 330 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 2: I spent ten thousand dollars, ninety five hundred of it 331 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 2: at the Indian casino, and then five hundred dollars on 332 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 2: medicine for the children. 333 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 4: Exactly, My expenditures included medicine for the children. 334 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: Boo. I say, again, terrible coverage. Uh. Before we get 335 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 2: into some of the details, Elon tweeting out over one 336 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 2: hundred times yesterday flaws he sees with the bill that 337 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 2: ended up not passing or got yanked and threatening people 338 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: who were going to vote for it. But here is 339 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: Democratic leader Jeffries, who took over for Nancy Pelosi first 340 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: a Democrat, explaining on why it is just awful that 341 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 2: this bill is not going to pass, and then a 342 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: Representative Andy Harris, who I do not know, go ahead. 343 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 2: House Republicans will now own any. 344 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 8: Harm that is visited upon the American people that results 345 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 8: from a government shutdown or worse. 346 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I'm only one. 347 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 8: I'm only one vote out of two hundred and twenty. Look, 348 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 8: I think the Speaker could have handled this differently. At 349 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 8: this point. I'm still supportive of the Speaker, but I 350 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 8: will tell you that voices both inside the House Freedom 351 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 8: Caucus and outside the Freedom Caucus have been very disappointed 352 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 8: at what's happened this week. 353 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 2: Before I get to my opinions on this, a couple 354 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 2: of things I read in the wide world of news today. 355 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: I thought this was interesting analysis I'd never thought of before. 356 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 2: Too big to fail can become too big to succeed 357 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: in Congress in the blink of an eye. What they 358 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 2: try to do with these big, giant bills is you 359 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: put in enough stuff for enough people that people say, 360 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 2: you know, I I hate this, but my district gets, 361 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 2: you know, another twenty million dollars for this, and so 362 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 2: you got enough yes votes that you pass the thing through. 363 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 2: But you can go too far where there's just too 364 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 2: many things and it crosses a line into I can't 365 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: possibly support this, And that's with the help of Elon, 366 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: you know, whipping against it yesterday. That's apparently what happened. 367 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: As Mark Alprin writes in his newsletter, thanks to social media, 368 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 2: it's easier than ever to turn provisions at a piece 369 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: of legislation into populace bugaboos, whether said charges are true 370 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 2: or not. And once the wildfire starts, everything can become, 371 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: you know, a big point of contention. As we talked 372 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 2: about a little bit earlier, this is where I'm the 373 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 2: most maga is on this whole spending thing. Nothing has 374 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 2: worked in my lifetime. Every time one of these bills 375 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: comes up, whatever party's in charge, whether Republicans that inferior, 376 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 2: the fiscally conservative party though they haven't shown that in 377 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 2: recent years, or the Democrats, it's always next time, we've 378 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 2: got to pass this one because the government will shut 379 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: down and blind veterans won't get their medicine and all 380 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 2: kinds of different stuff. But we've got to pass this one. 381 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: But the next one, we're gonna get our act together 382 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 2: and starting in March will blah blah blah, blah blah, 383 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 2: and it never ever happens. So current my current emotion is, yeah, 384 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 2: freaking shut down the government, have a crisis, have things 385 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: blow have things blow up, have bad things happen. Maybe 386 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 2: he will do something differently going forward. 387 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 4: As Newt Gingrish pointed out via Twitter quite appropriately, Look, 388 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 4: you don't have to run for reelection for two years. 389 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 4: We had multiple shutdowns when he was in charge. They 390 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 4: ended up with a balanced budget. Yeah, you got two years. 391 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 4: Go ahead, make your stand now. A number of people 392 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 4: have pointed out various loathsome things in the bill, not surprisingly. 393 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 2: Especially angering to me. 394 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 4: It contains another year of funding for the State Department's 395 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 4: Global Engagement Center, which is a orwell you name for 396 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,719 Speaker 4: the agency that was funding speech suppression efforts, joining with 397 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 4: that weird English nonprofit and all this is what Matt 398 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 4: Tayebe and others were reporting on with the Twitter papers 399 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 4: and all that to censorship by proxy by the government. 400 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 4: You got this from bright Bart. Congress gives itself a 401 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 4: raise in its last minute fifteen hundred and forty seven 402 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 4: page spending deal. So that's nice. You managed to squeezed 403 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 4: that in. You got this from the Free Beacon Democrat 404 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 4: lawmakers are actively hindering a federal investigation in the Biden 405 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 4: administration's four hundred billion dollar green energy loans. They're actively 406 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 4: standing in the way of trying to nail down where 407 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 4: that four hundred billion dollars went and if it did 408 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 4: any good. It's the idea that, well, we can't have 409 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 4: a government shutdown. I mean, I understand that may cause 410 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 4: promise you mentioned the great Republican fraud. We gotta pass 411 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 4: this one. Then we're gonna do the hard work to 412 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 4: get ready for March. Will have real Well, the Democrat fraud, 413 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 4: like haw Keen Jeffries, is, if there's a government shut down, 414 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 4: the trains will stop, the sun will not rise. 415 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 2: Electricity will not be able to turn on. We will die. 416 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: We will all die. God, all of you shut up. 417 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: Hospitals will be forced to unplug incubators. Uh, I forget who. 418 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 2: I can't find my note on. It might have been Elon, 419 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 2: But somebody said, so to the stuff that's good and 420 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 2: great and necessary, pass it separately, pass it separately. Why 421 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 2: don't you just pass it separately? If you gotta have 422 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: this farm stuff in there, but the farm stuff is important, 423 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 2: everybody grees don't pass it separately. 424 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 4: There is a federal government fence in South Florida that 425 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 4: keeps the alligators away from the newborn babies. That fence 426 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 4: will have to be torn down if there's a government 427 00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 4: shut down. 428 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 2: It's practically that bad. 429 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 4: Do you want alligators eating babies live human babies but 430 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 4: then vote against this Republican shutdown? 431 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 2: So this is honestly the question, the thing I don't 432 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: understand the most on the super important things, why don't 433 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: they vote on them separately because they're the such only 434 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 2: because they're the leverage that helps get the things through 435 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 2: one hundred As the kids say, it drives me nuts. 436 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 2: So again this is where I'm the most maga, which 437 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: I define maga is kind of, you know, tear it 438 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 2: all down. I don't like tearing it all down because 439 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 2: tearing down things that work in the United States mostly 440 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 2: works leaves you with who knows what you're gonna get 441 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: in its place. But our spending thing is broken, broken, broken. 442 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 4: I was gonna say, how about tearing down things that 443 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 4: are so effed up they're going to doom future generations 444 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 4: to a miserable standard of living in sky high taxes. 445 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 4: That needs to be torn down or it needs to 446 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 4: be stopped, It needs to seriously be reformed. What's really 447 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 4: going to be interes here? Because watching the will of 448 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 4: the electorate filtered through Washington. D C then expressed his 449 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 4: policy is not always a smooth journey. 450 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 2: And I'm curious to see with. 451 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 4: The momentum of you know, the dose thing in Elon, 452 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 4: especially Elon Musk's high profile and his bully pulpit and 453 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 4: the rest of it, to what extent are average Americans 454 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 4: actually the hogs at the trough that it seems like 455 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 4: that nobody cares about deficit spending and we're more than 456 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 4: willing to screw our kids and grandkids. 457 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 2: To what extent is that actually true? 458 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 4: Or given an eloquent spokesman for fiscal responsibility, whether the 459 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 4: country would rally to that cause. Maybe I'm just naive, 460 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 4: but I'd at least like to find out. 461 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 2: I go back and forth on the theory that the 462 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 2: American electorate is smart and sophisticated and much more so 463 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 2: than politicians getting credit for. I go back and forth 464 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 2: in that because sometimes I'm shocked by the choices the 465 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: electorate makes, like in California with a couple of the 466 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 2: props that passed like, wow, you really understood it, or 467 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 2: people getting you know, their attitudes on Biden's age and 468 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: the border. The media was telling them the opposite. Yet 469 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,239 Speaker 2: people figured it out somehow in overwhelming numbers. Right, But 470 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 2: on this question, I feel like, what percentage of people 471 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: understand that government money is tax money? I think it's 472 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 2: like eight percent. I also agree with that. 473 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 4: I think, well, and then what percentage of that eight 474 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 4: percent who understands it would say, well, but it's okay 475 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 4: that they take people's money and give it to others 476 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 4: rent like me because of inequity, and the rich should. 477 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 2: Pay their fair share. I don't know. 478 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 4: So even if they understand the factual part of it, 479 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 4: that their ideology has blinded them to, you know, the 480 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 4: actual reality. 481 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 2: Here's Josh Holly, who is a bit of a grand 482 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 2: standard super smart guy on Hannity last night. 483 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 9: Senate, it is fifteen hundred pages of pork barrel spending, 484 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 9: and worse than that, it's all the woke garbage. It's 485 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 9: the censorship boards they're getting funded in this There's hundred 486 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 9: millions of dollars for a recycling access center in this bill. 487 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 9: There's also the pay raise for members of Congress is 488 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 9: the Obamacare carve out for members of Congress. Here's the 489 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 9: thing that really gets me. Republicans negotiated this The Speaker 490 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 9: of the House negotiated this bill. I'm a hard no 491 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 9: on this thing. It is a joke, It is a travesty, 492 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 9: and they need to go back to square one. 493 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 2: Right, But then you've had the situations where the Freedom Caucus, 494 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 2: that's the people that are supposed to care about spending, 495 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 2: wouldn't agree to anything, although they're closer to right than wrong, 496 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 2: because again, we keep going further down the road of 497 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 2: more debt. At what point do you say that's enough? 498 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 2: And apparently Josh Holly's in favor of not building that 499 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 2: fence between the alligator pit and the kindergarten class. 500 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, and Johnson, Mike Johnson, the Speaker, saying, all right, 501 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 4: I got three members are not going to vote for 502 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 4: anything unless it's, you know, something so drastic. I don't 503 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 4: think it can happen. All right, Democrats, what's it gonna 504 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 4: take to get three of your votes? And he believes 505 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 4: that's what he needs to do. I don't care if 506 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 4: the government shuts down. I do not freaking care what 507 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 4: percentage of American cares if the government shuts down, it's 508 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 4: probably about roughly what the election was. It's probably like 509 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 4: forty nine forty eight. Yes, I'll bet you're right. Yeah, 510 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 4: so I would. I will openly call for this. No violence, 511 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 4: no hurting any poor son of a gun who's an 512 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 4: hourly employee of the federal government or whatever. 513 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 2: Like you know, it might happen. 514 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 4: If they attempt to shut down the World War II 515 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 4: Memorial again. 516 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: Which is just an open plaza. You go in it. 517 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 4: We need rampant civil disobedience again, no violence of any sort. 518 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 4: You lift up the barrier, you put it aside, you 519 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 4: walk in, and you pay trip to those we've lost 520 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 4: defending this country. If they try to shut down a 521 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 4: natural national park, all you're gonna do is wander through 522 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 4: the forest or wander along the seashore. And like during 523 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 4: Obama's years, they put up barriers saying this park is 524 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 4: closed because of the government's shutdown. Go in the park, trespass, 525 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 4: get arrested. I will do it. 526 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 2: I will lead you. 527 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 4: We can't have that crap. I mean, that is seriously 528 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 4: Boston Tea Party stuff. 529 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 2: Social Security checks will not go out. Old people were 530 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: starved again. They'll start unplugging incubators, and then single bombs 531 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: will be pushed downstairs all across America for some reason. 532 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 4: Not the married ones, right, well, right, And when the 533 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 4: babies realize their incubator is off, they'll crawl out of it, 534 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 4: and that's when the gators get them. So, I mean, 535 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 4: you want a government shutdown? You do elon you, you 536 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 4: you ultra mega fascist. 537 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: If I can be serious for one second, I honestly 538 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 2: do not understand why they don't vote for the stuff 539 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 2: that needs to happen, that is overwhelmingly popular, separately, just 540 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 2: do it. Why does Mike Johnson do that? 541 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, because they need votes and the other guys say 542 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 4: that you got to put in one hundred million dollars 543 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 4: for the Recycling Access Center. 544 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 2: Whatever the hell that is?
