1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty,

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: I know he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: The Zoo in Iowa had African Lions make their Super

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: Bowl picks. Deuce went first, decided to defer. Then Zorina

6
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: was up. She sniffed both barrels before choosing Seahawks. It's

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: might be a prediction worth banking on. The zoo says

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: its animals have been correct for nearly eighty percent of

9
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: the time over the years.

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: Of course, a lion's going to go for the NFC team,

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: So a zoo in Iowa says they're African Lions can

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: make Super Bowl predictions and are correct eighty percent of

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: the time. Like, how many years in a row have

14
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: you done this? Since it takes let's talk about the

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: data sets. It's a fifty to fifty shot. He started

16
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: fifty percent, okay, and if you just do it a

17
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: couple of years, you could know very easily by just guessing,

18
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: do a lot better than fifty percent. This is always

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: one of my favorite stories every single year, and things

20
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: that predict and he could come up with anything. The

21
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: stock market has a down week the week before a

22
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, the AFC team wins. And this has been

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: true seventy five percent of the time over the last

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: decade or whatever. You can make up anything, right, right

25
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: the correlation Bowl. So we're all excited about substandard Rabbit

26
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: entertaining us at halftime? Right, will he do something political

27
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: and controversial? Roger Goodell, the godfather of the NFL commenting listen.

28
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: Bet Benny was is it? And I think that was

29
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: demonstrated last night. One of the great artists in the world,

30
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: and that's one of the reasons to be chosen. But

31
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: the other reasons he underst said the platform he was on,

32
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: and that was this platform is used to unite people

33
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: and to be able to bring people together with their creativity,

34
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: with their talents, and to be able to use this

35
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: moment to do that. And I think artists in the

36
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands it,

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: and I think you'll have a great performance.

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: And we did not bring Bad Bunny in because it

39
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: reaches a Hispanic audience and we're trying to expand the

40
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: NFL into Mexico. It has nothing in South America, has

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that, right. I like your theory.

42
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: I never thought of this, but makes sense to me.

43
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny gets paid. I don't know when he gets

44
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: paid two million dollars to be the halftime act. A

45
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: million of it you get now, and then the other

46
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: million you get after you do a performance in which

47
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: you have no stunts, no political stunts, no sex stunts,

48
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: no stunts, keep your nipples to yourself. And if you

49
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: do that, you get the other million. You come out

50
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: and rip off your T shirt that says ice are

51
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: your shirt and it says ice out underneath, you don't

52
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: get your million dollars. That's the way I handle it.

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Yeah, I'll bet they do. Because there

54
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: has not been an incident since Janet, right since the

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: nipple and justin Timberlake, who was clearly a compatriot, it's

56
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: complicit in the crime. Katie, have you ever heard my

57
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: story about nipple Gate? I don't think you probably have.

58
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: That's one of the great things about having Katie on

59
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: the show in the last couple of years. I get

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: to retell stories. Soaple Gate. You remember the Super Bowl

61
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: where we saw the nipple. You were probably like four

62
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: years old or something. No, I remember it. Yes, So

63
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: this was long before I had children. I was single

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: and childless. In retrospect, it's not a big deal, but

65
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: I was horrified at the time. I'm watching the super

66
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: Bowl by myself. I get a phone call. My next

67
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: door neighbor got pulled over driving drunk on that Sunday morning. Oh, okay,

68
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: hammered drunk gets thrown in Sunday morning, getting your drink on. Yeah,

69
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a sign we're left over from the

70
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: night before or whatever. But anyway, and so I get

71
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: a call from his wife who was out of town.

72
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: Their seven year old daughter was home by herself because

73
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: dad just got thrown in jail coming back from the

74
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: grocery store or whatever. And I know these people pretty well,

75
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: and could you keep an eye on her until, you know,

76
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: three this afternoon when I get off work or whatever

77
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: it was. And so I go over knock and they, hey,

78
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: your mom called one. Who can I have her come

79
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: over to my house? And me, not being a parent,

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: I would have never done this now that I've been

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: a parent, but I e her watching the super Bowl

82
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: with me? What a boring thing for a seven year

83
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: old girl to two? Yeah, I could have come with

84
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: so much other things. I just I didn't know I would.

85
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: You didn't have barbies, you didn't have coloring books. I'm

86
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: a single whatever. I was thirty eight year old guy

87
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: drinking beer watching the Super Bowl. Yeah, I didn't have

88
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: barbaries are coloring. But now I would have screwed the

89
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: super Bowl. We'd have gone for a walk or gone

90
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: to the park or whatever. I can't believe I did this. Anyway,

91
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: We sit there and watched the Super Bowl and the

92
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: halftime showing, No, there's a boob.

93
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: So I'm showing a seventy year old girl ball the

94
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 4: only time I've ever had a kid over at my house,

95
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 4: and I'm showing them porn or total grinding. Better off

96
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: with your drunk dad than over at my house seeing.

97
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: Boobs looking at boobs. It doesn't seem like it probably

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: did that much. Dimm She's probably won't she beat You

99
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: might be in her mid thirties now, so it was

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: a long time ago, right, So she might let on

101
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: the couch talking to a therapist. And then this weird

102
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: neighbor had me come over and look at booms on TV? Right, right?

103
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: What else did he do? Well? He just watched the

104
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: football game. But I'm certain something untoward was happening. You

105
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: know what this is? This is so out of date,

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: and yet it continues to fascinate me. I want America's

107
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: greatest writers all to give me. I don't know a

108
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: thousand words on how Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake pig

109
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: he gets let off the hook all the time, kind

110
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: of sort of bearing a nipple more or less led

111
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: to you can't play Steve Miller bands, you know, with

112
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: a whatever? This song was any of that funky s

113
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: going down the city, big old jet airliner, jet air

114
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: liner right, and why Pink Floyd's money couldn't have do

115
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: goody good bulls in it anymore? On FM radio, there

116
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: are a dozen examples of that. Is that one we

117
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: got a delay because we did our talk radio without

118
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: a delay for a long time, and we took a

119
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: lot of calls too. We did live talk radio no

120
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: delay for like a decade, but then Janet Jackson's boob

121
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now we got like a seven

122
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: minute delay going on. Yes day.

123
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 5: It was February first, two thousand and four.

124
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, twenty two years ago, a dark dark day.

125
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: Whoa so that girl is thirty now, Wow, day that

126
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: will live an infamy.

127
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 6: She let them let the nips slip and all went

128
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 6: to hell that day.

129
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: But just continuing on the discussion. Once every I don't know,

130
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks months, somebody drop an s bahn,

131
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: we'd cut them off real quick and say, hey, don't

132
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: be an idiot. If you're going to be an idiot,

133
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: don't call. And that was and nobody was ever hurt

134
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: by it. Nobody ever drove off the road and died

135
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: in a fiery No kids ever turned to drugs or

136
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: prostitution because they heard an s bomb on the Armstrong

137
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: and Getty show on the way to work. It was utterly, utterly,

138
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: obviously harmless. But after the boob everybody was so uptight

139
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: about it. We had to get a you know, like

140
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: a ten and a twenty and then a thirty second delay,

141
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: and if anything slipped through, everybody acted like a child

142
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: had been grievously injured, right or or you know, somebody

143
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: had lost their life on the factory floor, or the

144
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: accountant had been caught embezzling all the prophets. Everybody would

145
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: act like something terrible had happened in the wake of

146
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: the boob. What does that say about human beings, Americans

147
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: in particular morality. I don't know. We're we're blank and stupid.

148
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: It is my essay. It's brief. You saw a portion

149
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: of not even one of the really jazzy body parts.

150
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean there's more jazzy body part. It's in the

151
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: top few, but it's in the top three, but it's

152
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: not the top to I mean, if he had dropped

153
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: his pants and showed his wang, that would have been

154
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: a much bigger deal.

155
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 6: Boy, and you would have had a seven year old

156
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 6: girl sitting on your couch.

157
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: That would have been Yeah, then you might have been charged. Wow,

158
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: we saw part of a boob for a tenth of

159
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: a second and the world shuddered.

160
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: I remember that was when DVRs were just coming in,

161
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 5: and that was like the most tv O moment or

162
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 5: whatever launched.

163
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: Is that much launched YouTube? That's what launched YouTube? Was it? Yes,

164
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: that's the famous story. YouTube existed, but everybody wanted to

165
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: see that video and it was on YouTube, So everybody

166
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: became aware of YouTube because of that, and that was

167
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: the big giant. Oh yeah, YouTube's kind of a cool thing,

168
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: and it took off from there.

169
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, because the boob wasn't on TV long enough for

170
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 6: anyone to actually really register it, so they had to

171
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 6: go back and rewatch to be severely damaged.

172
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: Yes, I remember watching it with my wife and saying,

173
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: did she just show her? Uh? I can't remember what

174
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: he You mean? You said that after you had Donet crying? Well, right,

175
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: that guy saw hold me? I think I just thought

176
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: part of it. I saw a pun, but part of

177
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: body part for tenth of a second? Are yet it

178
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: undeniably cost major changes to American media? What does that say?

179
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 3: God?

180
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: So I was a was I single that I don't remember?

181
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: But I was in the house by myself. I was

182
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: thirty two years old, drinking beer watching the Super Bowl.

183
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: I was in no position to watch a seven year old.

184
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: It's interesting, and I do not mean this in an

185
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: offensive way at all. It is interesting that you were

186
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: the person they called. That doesn't mean granted it sounds

187
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: offensive even if you didn't mean it to be offensive.

188
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: Well points for proximity. But got all the people you

189
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: could call, you, got that random guy over there, you'd

190
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: be better off. Yeah, really, yeah, just pick somebody off

191
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: the street. No, come on, come on, you got a

192
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: seven year old kid. Oh my god, who do we call?

193
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: How about that single guy who lives down on the street.

194
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: It's just an odd why it was mean because relative

195
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: trusted parents. All the other neighbors around there had kids, yes,

196
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: so they must not have been I'll bet they called

197
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: ten people before they got to me, including like just

198
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: random payphones, hoping to see if somebody would answer. Right, God,

199
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: we gotta call that Jack. Well, Jack last always drunk. Jack.

200
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: We'll call him. Maybe he's less drunk than her dad.

201
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: And oh boy, that was an interesting situation. But I

202
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: just thought, what are the chances of this. I have

203
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: this kid here and all of a sudden, there's nudity

204
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: on intelligence, Your dad's in jail, you're sharing your porn

205
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: or Kimpton. Something tells me in the landscape of her

206
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: life as she looks back, that was not a major

207
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: peak nor Valley. He was a super successful guy. Just yeah,

208
00:10:54,280 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: drinking on a Sunday morning for whatever reason. Yeah, yeah, sorry,

209
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: I'm distracted by something happening in her my real life.

210
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: I wonder if she remembers it at all. I'd love

211
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: to know that. I hope she's not, you know, dancing

212
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: on the pole in her thirties, because she's still so

213
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: horrified by that event. Seems unlikely, probably.

214
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 6: Just to ask Janet Jackson that day exactly.

215
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: She's never moved on from that moment. Dad get his

216
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: back together. Do you know? I don't know. I think

217
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: I moved out of that neighborhood and never never really

218
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: found out. Bite of your go to status is childcare?

219
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: Neighborhood childcare? Right, the single guy down the street who

220
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: always has a beer in his hand, that's the guy

221
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: call if you ever have a you just randomly need

222
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: somebody to watch you get marking the honor, stay care,

223
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: No kidding, Hey kid, you want a beer? It's funny.

224
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: I've never thought of this, and it was so many

225
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: years ago, but clearly I had to be like the

226
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: eighth option of people to call. There's no way. Yeah. Well,

227
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: like I said, I didn't mean to be hurtful, but

228
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: it's an odd choice. That was a great neighborhood too,

229
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: because my other neighbors, they had a couple of daughters

230
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: in the one who did the neighborhood newspaper. Do you

231
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: remember that I would read it on the air. Yeah,

232
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: she was a little gir she's a journalist now, actually

233
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: writes for a newspaper, but she would do the neighborhood

234
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: newspaper and say, interesting news with the Armstrong family. It

235
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: looks like they got a new car. You know that.

236
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: I remember it was so cute. Why didn't you call

237
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: that family instead of me? They were out of town? Clearly?

238
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: Ah right, New York Times. Oh oh, go ahead, I

239
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: got to tease that. New York Times Brett Steven thinks

240
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: the Democrats will be making a huge mistake if they

241
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: pick Gavin Newsom. He's not the only one, and bad

242
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: news if you were hoping to get a reparations program going.

243
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco's given it a try, and surprisingly it's going

244
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: really poorly. We didn't predict that at all, So stay

245
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: tuned for all that stuff. Stay here. So at least

246
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: one columnist with the New York Times thinks it would

247
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: be a huge mistake for the Democrats nominate Gavin newsoman

248
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: Is logic is pretty sound, as we'll get to that

249
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: coming up. Speaking of progressive hopes and dreams. In December,

250
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: we mentioned this and I was surprised at the time.

251
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lourie, who's a very reasonable guy

252
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: and has done a lot of good things for San Francisco.

253
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: He signed an ordinance establishing a reparations fund for black

254
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: residents in San Francisco, but it was never clear who

255
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: would fund the program. He Lauri Lourie, who signed the

256
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: ordinance after it was unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors,

257
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: stressed that no city funds will go toward the initiative. Instead,

258
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: the fund is open to private donations. The mayor said,

259
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: if money becomes a billable, the city would work to

260
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: distribute it to eligible recipients. However, no nonprofit groups or

261
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: wealthy individuals appear to have come forward with plans to

262
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: donate to the fund. So reparations are unworkable with anybody

263
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: with the brain knows. And we've talked about it over

264
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: the years, but we always liked the angle of each

265
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: committee or Assembly or Senate or whatever passes it because

266
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: they know it's unworkable, but they don't want to be

267
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: the ones to say no, because then you get attacked

268
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: like being anti reparations. So you're some council or committee

269
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: of three people. We voted two to one to move

270
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: forward to the reparations. Then the next level says yes,

271
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: and the next level, all of them knowing it can't

272
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: ever happen. How would you possibly do it well? And

273
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: people who think it's a good idea are crackpots and

274
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: ignoramuses or race baters. But I'm sure some of them

275
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: are sincerely crack pots. And it's got to be frustrating

276
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: to go to the government say this needs to happen

277
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: and the government says, yes, it does. I'm with ya.

278
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: Does everybody know what reparations are so you don't have

279
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: to like, Okay, I think so, don't they? Yeah? But

280
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, everybody at every point says yes, I agree

281
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: with you, we're going to get it passed. And indeed

282
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: sometimes they pass it and they're like, hey, where the

283
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: reparations we're working out of funding mechanism? Well, you've got

284
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: the where's the money come from? Then? How do you

285
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: hand the money out to? Who? Who gets included? Who

286
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: doesn't get included? Right? And then remember, at one point

287
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: they were passing legislation or ordinances or whatever they were

288
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: that included anybody who's a descendant of a slave gets

289
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: a free home, for instance. Okay, well, or three million

290
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: dollars or some absurd amount of money. Were you going

291
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: to go grab a home and give it to people,

292
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: or I mean, where's the home going to come from? Taxpayers?

293
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: The wretch tax The writs they got to pay their

294
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: fair share, right, right? And what about recent immigrants from Africa?

295
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: And oh that, well that's your wouldn't you just mentioned

296
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: California wasn't a slave state, right, so why are the

297
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: white people of California on the hook for it? Not

298
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: that it is. It doesn't make sense even in a

299
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: slave state, but especially doesn't make sense in California, right, Yeah, exactly.

300
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's interesting that a guy as reasonable as

301
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: Dan Lurie would say, yeah, okay, sure, I'll sign it,

302
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: and the National Review says he shouldn't have signed it

303
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: because now it creates this, at least a smallish bureaucracy

304
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: to distribute this money that will never exist. And I

305
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: wonder the people who are part of the Reparations Office

306
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: or whatever they're calling it, who are part of what

307
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: are they doing all day? No kidding, he's collecting a

308
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: no show paycheck.

309
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 3: Wow.

310
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: So Brett Stevens, he's the conservative by New York Times

311
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: Standards columnist who says the Democrats better think twice before

312
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: they nominate Gavin newsomone, and he gets through some of

313
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: the reasons why bill Board showed up in New York.

314
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom the Jets of Democrats New York Jets of Democrats,

315
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: which is kind of funny, like a loser. But we

316
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: got more on the way. I hope you can stay.

317
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 6: Here, Armstrong and Getty.

318
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 7: Former First Lady Jill Biden's ex husband now facing murder

319
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 7: charges in the death of his current wife.

320
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: WILLIAMS.

321
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 7: Stevenson accused of killing his wife during a domestic dispute

322
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 7: in Wilmington, Delaware in December. William Stephenson and Jill Biden

323
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 7: divorced in nineteen seventy five. There's no comment from the Bidens.

324
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: Well, you don't need to comment on some of you

325
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: divorced half a century ago. But Jill Biden's ex husband

326
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: killed his current wife. Wow, yeah, yeah. What's interesting, if

327
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: you want to spill a little tea, is that back

328
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: in the day, Joe and Jill both claimed that yeah,

329
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: we we just we were introduced after the split and

330
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: husbands like bulls. Me and Jill both worked on Joe

331
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: Biden's first campaign. The tool clearly hit her off. I

332
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: could see sparks fly and wondered what was going on,

333
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: and she announces she's leaving, and then they end up together.

334
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: But Joe Jill's version is, oh no, it all happened

335
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: after the splitter is completely innocent. Well, that particular story

336
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: only happens about ninety five percent of the time, so

337
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: signor fairly common. Will Newsom be the democrats next mistake?

338
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: Brett Stevens Rights in the New York Times talks about

339
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: all the fawning coverage which we went heavy on the

340
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: last couple of days from Vogue and other places, and

341
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: then he goes on to write Democrats should be careful

342
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: whom they crush on. Newsom's record as governor of California

343
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: is a Republican strategist, perfect foil, and he gets into

344
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: the more salient points. But we've talked about this for

345
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: a long time, you know, living in California, he's got

346
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: so many like giant targets. It's just, I mean, it's stick.

347
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: I can't remember a time somebody was talking about running

348
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: for president who had this many giant targets on them. Anyway,

349
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: he goes through them, and you know, just briefly on

350
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of affordability California is incredibly unaffordable, a dead

351
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: last in affordability. So explain that prices for mid tier

352
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: homes about twice as expensive as the typical US mid

353
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: tier home. Poverty and income inequality sort of thing he

354
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: talks about all the time. Got a ton of poor

355
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: in California, tied with Louisiana for the country's highest poverty

356
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: rate and inequality. California has one of the highest rates

357
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: of income inequality. Also, so both of those in the

358
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 1: toilet in the entire country knew some twenty twenty eight

359
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: no kidding, homelessness. We all know this one. In this

360
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: particular study, California alone accounted for forty four percent of

361
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: all the homeless people in the entire country. There's been

362
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: other stats that say it's half whatever. Forty fifty percent

363
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: for one state is just absolutely unbelievable, right right, And

364
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 1: I think it's the magnet is mainly the most thing

365
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: people always talk about the weather. There's lots of places

366
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: with nice weather, name full of homeless people. Flight. Maybe

367
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: the best measure of a state's success or failure is

368
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: how people vote with their feet. In California, as we

369
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: all know, we've talked about it a lot is bleeding

370
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: people like crazy housing prices and all kinds of reasons,

371
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: highest income tax rate, state income tax rate in the

372
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: entire country, slow job growth, all that different sort of stuff.

373
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: So California perversity, Yeah, you got that. California had a

374
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: total net loss of almost one point three million people

375
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: who moved to other states, according to the Coastal Moving Services. Unbelievable.

376
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: Oh I like this stat. I hadn't heard this one before.

377
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: Last year, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation found that another

378
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: Californian leaves the state every minute and forty four seconds.

379
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: One minute and forty four seconds, another California leaves the state. Wow,

380
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: that's incredible net right. Yeah. Yeah. Education, even though the

381
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: University of California continues to be a jewel of American

382
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: higher education, he writes less and less, so maybe by

383
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: the standards of higher education, I don't know. K through

384
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: twelve though not so much. And here's the stat that

385
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: matters a lot to me as a guy raising two

386
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: kids and trying to educate them in the state of California.

387
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: While the state increased per pupil spending by one hundred

388
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: and two percent since just twenty thirteen, reading comprehension has

389
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: remained flat. Matt skills have dropped. I didn't realize we've

390
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: increased spending per pupil one hundred and two percent. You

391
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: know what's interesting about kids? Yeah, what's interesting about that

392
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: statistic is the very name of the statistic is misleading.

393
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: What if I were to describe my expenditures on liquor

394
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: and golf as now on a per child, what would

395
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: I say my per child spending, Honey has risen thirty percent,

396
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: And she would be quite legitimate in saying, why are

397
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: you calling it per child spending? That's not where the

398
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: spending is going. Per pupil spending, The money gushing at

399
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: California schools. Why are you mentioning the pupils. That's going

400
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: to middle management and DEI programs and lobbyists and film

401
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: strips about how you can change your sex and the

402
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: rest of it. It's not flowing to the children. That's

403
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: the wrong measure, it really is. It's kind of funny,

404
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: what a great trick that is. My per salad spending

405
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: is very very high. I don't need any salads. It's

406
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: all going to other food. No, Wow, that is really clever.

407
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: Whoever came up with that. Yeah, yeah, so dishonest he

408
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: really is. AnyWho, Yeah, they're spending more money on the

409
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: schools and not getting any bang for the buck, in fact,

410
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: less bang for the buck in some case energy costs.

411
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: Americans hate high energy prices. Average retail price for electricity

412
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: in California is twice the national average. Crime got all

413
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: kinds of crime because Newsom was really behind that whole

414
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: Prop forty seven, which reclassified shoplifting, which led to the

415
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: endless TikTok and YouTube videos you've always seen of people

416
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: going into stores and with one arm swiping the shelf

417
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: off into a trash bag and walking out the door.

418
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: Newsom was behind that. He thought it was great and wokeness.

419
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: California tremendously woke, being the sanctuary state for trans children,

420
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: surgeries and all illegals should get free healthcare and all

421
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: that different sort of stuff. Just endless that. So with

422
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: all of those California not being like not only in

423
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: the red on a lot of those topics, but dead last,

424
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: how does he get through the nomination process? Well, that's

425
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: a great question. And I think Rui tischera who is

426
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: a moderate Democratic. I think he writes for the Free

427
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: Press he addresses that very question before we get there, though,

428
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: before I forget, I want to mention something that will

429
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: help Gavin. And I study Gavin now the fact, and

430
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: he's so incredibly handsled with his salt speckled hair, and

431
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: let's get this out of the way, and he is

432
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: embarrassingly handsome, the lithe and eedamant, the strident confidence of

433
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: a self made millionaire who's molecular something or other. We

434
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: read yesterday he was live and ardent. That was it. Yes, yes, interesting, Yeah,

435
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: But I study him now the way I study the

436
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: third Reicher, the the Mao regime in China. Unquestionably evil,

437
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: but really really capable, And so I like to study

438
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: how evil prevails. And the one thing he's really good

439
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: at is he will he and his party and his

440
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: policies will cause an enormous problem, a disastrous problem. And

441
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: then he will say.

442
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 8: We are attacking that problem with every resource we can find.

443
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 8: We're looking to the future, we're being creative, we're spending

444
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 8: the money, we're innovating.

445
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: California is gonna lead the country into the future. And

446
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, wow, he's really attacking that problem energetically.

447
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: To repeat myself, because I've said this many times. He's

448
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: figured out the time we live in. He's watched what Trump.

449
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: Trump oftentimes will get up and say something that is

450
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: just opposite of what is occurring in terms of results

451
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: of a various policy, like his tariff stuff sometimes. But

452
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, most people aren't paying attention to that. They

453
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: take it through their own news outlet, and here the

454
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: person that they like say it and run with it.

455
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: And Gavin Newsom, to his credit, I guess, has figured

456
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: out the times we live in. Yeah, and the way

457
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: you can work that whole thing right, much as Hitler,

458
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: that's right, I think that's fair, laugh, much as did so.

459
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: Ruy Cher is talking about how gave. He seems to

460
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: be having a moment, and he writes, what accounts for

461
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: this remarkable surge? How did a liberal California Democrat win

462
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: so much support a year after Democrats got walloped when

463
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: their candidate was another liberal California Democrat. The answer lies

464
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: in Newsom's ability to be everything to well, not quite everybody,

465
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: but every Democrat think of him not as an ordinary politician,

466
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: but as a message delivery system, and a very effective one.

467
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: All politicians fit that description to some degree, but newsom

468
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: lets absolutely nothing stand in the way, not principles, not beliefs,

469
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: not prior positions. He reliably presents whatever message he deems

470
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: most politically effective at any given time, to any given audience.

471
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: That has enabled him to appeal to nearly every Democratic faction. Well,

472
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: then he goes through the very fact. Come on, and

473
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: I I preferred Trump in both elections. All right, But

474
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,959
Speaker 1: doesn't that isn't that a perfect description of Trump's method?

475
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so nothing, So no, no, Because Trump

476
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: had certain principles that he stuck with no matter what,

477
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: no matter who he offended. That's true, only a couple.

478
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: But the couple that he had he has been very,

479
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: very solid on and never backed down, even in the

480
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: face of great, great resistance. And I don't think Gavin's

481
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: got a single one. I mean, Trump would not go

482
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: to the Chamber of Commerce types and say, look, we

483
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: need lots and lots of immigration for our labor. For lah.

484
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: No heavy will say anything at any time to anybody

485
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: unrestrained by any values, positions, principles, beliefs. Look, I'm right

486
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: there with you. I remember, I remember the times with

487
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: the stacks of whitebread. What are you talking about? Hey,

488
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: you know there, but for the grace of God, what

489
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Yeah? Yeah, he's a different version

490
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris when it comes to answering questions, like

491
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: a more clever version of not answering the questions. Yeah,

492
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: Kamala would string together nonsense, you know, strings of words,

493
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: whereas Gavin resorts to like chuckles and half formed thoughts

494
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: and well. He benefits also from fawning media. Will he

495
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: run into media? Sometimes it will follow up and say,

496
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: what do you mean there? But for the grace of God,

497
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: I still don't understand which side of this year on.

498
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: You just stopped your sentence before you got to the subject. Yeah,

499
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: I just don't, I think for the grace of God. Yeah,

500
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: it'll be after he gets the nomination that he faces

501
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: anything approaching critical media. And honestly, if he's running against

502
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: somebody who is particularly objectionable to the liberal media, maybe Trumpy,

503
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: maybe JD, he will get the Barack Obama I almost

504
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: use the F word, not that F word, the other

505
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: F word rhymes with horatio. They will get. He will

506
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: get the full Barack Obama horatio. It's just interesting a

507
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: press corps that would treat Kamala Harris like she's not

508
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: a joke, would be absolutely frothing at the mouth to

509
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: service Gaven news a good who is evil but he's smart.

510
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: That's a good point. The same press corps that was

511
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: willing to pretend they didn't notice Joe Biden seen now

512
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: and pretend that Kamala has made sense that I love

513
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. You're making it rhyme louder than it's ever

514
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: rhymed before.

515
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 7: That.

516
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: I had a FK but his did you take any

517
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: money from Apex? Oh, it's interesting that you bring that up.

518
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: It's just interesting that you bring that up, which is

519
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: just interesting. Did you take any money or not? Should

520
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: have been the follow up, but that hasn't been a

521
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: part of my life things I've thought about. It's just

522
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: so interesting that at this moment you would bring that up.

523
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: That's that's been you know there. But for the grace

524
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: of God. Hey, I mean, you're overwhelming me with how

525
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: ardent you are. But did you take a dollar or not? Live?

526
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: So live? Why don't you take your self confident, self

527
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: made millionaire strut and walk on out of this room

528
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: If you're not willing to answer that question, or are

529
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: you too ardent whatever that means. Okay, we will finish

530
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: strong next.

531
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 9: Strong twitching gears to some business news pepsi, and that's

532
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 9: that they are cutting prices on a lot of their

533
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 9: snacks like Dorito's and Cheetos.

534
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: That's great, that's great. It's really gonna say the president

535
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: a lot of money on makeup. Ended up being or

536
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: I was using flaming hot talkies. Ro Whiles had not

537
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: being a Trump joke. I was really looking forward to

538
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: a Dorino's joke. But breaking trade us fallin betrayed us.

539
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: Breaking news. A judge has sentenced Ryan Ruth to life

540
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: in prison. If you don't remember the name, he was

541
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: the nut job who was laying in the bushes with

542
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: the rifle hoping to kill Donald Trump on a golf

543
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: course in Florida in September twenty twenty four. Luckily, somebody

544
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: saw the barrel of the gun, so he wasn't successful,

545
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: but he's going to spend the rest of his life

546
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: in jail. I would assume he looks like he's fairly old,

547
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: so that reminds me and crazier than hell. Yeah, did

548
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: you happen to see on britt Bear last night? He

549
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: was talking a cash Betel about the Pennsylvania will be assassin,

550
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: the young misfit who shot Trump in the air, and

551
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: Brett was making the case that why don't we know

552
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: more about that day, that case, that kid who would

553
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: be talked to on the cell phone? Why isn't that

554
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: stuff out? And cash Betel gave him a non answer,

555
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: very dodgy answer. Wow, that fuels conspiracy and speculation. Yeah,

556
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: it was. It was odd and Brett was frustrated, which

557
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: I thought was interesting because he's no conspiracy theorist. If anything,

558
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: he's a little mainstreamy. That's a good point. Don't you

559
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: feel like if somebody had almost killed Barack Obama, we

560
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: would know every single thing about that human being by name. Yeah.

561
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: And what was really curious about it was it wasn't

562
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: kind of a you know, a very official sounding explanation

563
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: of why some of the information can't come out or

564
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: as part of an ongoing blah blah blah. No, it's

565
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: just very dodgy. I wonder if any of it has

566
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: to do with failures of a couple of agencies that

567
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: really are stonewalling. It certainly could. Yeah, because we all

568
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: learned a lot about the Secret Service or something. But

569
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, on the roof of a rifle with the

570
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: best angle to kill a president is not supposed to happen. Ah,

571
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: I'd say not. This is an interesting story. We don't

572
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: have much time to get into the dispatch riding today

573
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: with all the stuff going on everywhere in Minneapolis and

574
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: there and there, and you know, whatever story you want

575
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: to emphasize. The biggest story may have unfolded seven thousand

576
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: miles away this week when Chairman She of China started

577
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: arresting various heads of his military, including the very very

578
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: top guy right the other day. I don't know how

579
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: to pronounce his name, but the most senior general in

580
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: the Chinese People's Liberation Army came up with She through

581
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: the ranks. He was a childhood friend. Yeah, going back

582
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: to when they were kids. Both of them worked with

583
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: Mao And if there isn't all these years together and

584
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: he got accused of selling nuclear secretcy the United States,

585
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: which he almost certainly did not do, and arrested. Wow.

586
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 9: I have some final thoughts, and some people say they

587
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 9: are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But if

588
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 9: you look at what's happening, I would have to say

589
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 9: Armstrong and Geddy have some wonderful final thoughts. They are

590
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 9: right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody knows it.

591
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that more tomorrow.

592
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 9: Man.

593
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: That whole dictatorship purge thing is always interested me. Man,

594
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: it's game of throne stuff right there. Here's your host

595
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: for final thoughts, Joe Getty. I was good. A final

596
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: thought from everybody on the crew. To wrap of the show,

597
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: Let's begin with our technical director Michael Angelo. Michael, what's

598
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: your final thought? Yeah?

599
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 5: My final thought is that story Jack about you taking

600
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 5: that little girl during the super Bowl.

601
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: That was funny. I was laughing back here so hard.

602
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: Well do you remember when that happened? Oh yeah, yeah,

603
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 1: but I forgot how funny that was. Yeah, it's funny.

604
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: It's a different perspective now that I'm a parent. I

605
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: don't know what I was doing. Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman.

606
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: As a final thought, Katie, it's.

607
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 6: Kind of a final question. But speaking of Super Bowl,

608
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 6: we have Michelangelo's cheese dip. What on the on the website?

609
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 6: What was the chip you suggested, Michael, the.

610
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 1: Freedo's with the scoop, Yeah, Freedo scoopdo scoop. You gotta

611
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: have a tough chip otherwise they just break off. Okay,

612
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: and you're standing there with a shard of chip in

613
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: your hands, a chunk of chip in the dip, and
