1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: Jetty and no Hee Armstrong and Getty. So I just

4
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: thought this was an interesting little insight to where we

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: are not surprising. We've talked about it a lot with

6
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: the current president still happened seventy five days left as

7
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: leader of the free world. These are the jokes they

8
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: opened with on Morning Joe on MSNBC Today.

9
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: President Biden addressed the nation for the first time since

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: Trump won the election. Democrats are like, well, I guess

11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: at this point, we can let him.

12
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: Speak again, let him tell, well, let's God.

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: Help during his peace Biden said, you can love your

14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: country only when you win. Then he said, but since

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: I didn't win or lose, I can do whatever the

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 2: hell I want.

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: So, I mean, it doesn't matter. I'm inviting that baby's

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: leg hair.

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: Biden also try to comfort Democrats by saying, the America

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: of your dreams is calling for you to get back up,

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: and Biden said, now, excuse me, I need to go

22
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: take a nap.

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: While many expected a speech about the peaceful transfer of

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: power and moving on old Joe had another idea. He

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: had a major announcement up his sleeve. I'm saying a race.

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell him, man, So so is that just

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: where we are? It's it's just we just openly mock

28
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: the leader of the free world, or the leader of

29
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: the world really for being old and out of it

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: and irrelevant. And I mean even the left is doing that.

31
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: It's just we all know, he's just his mind doesn't work,

32
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: and he's tired, and he barely knows what day it is,

33
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: and he doesn't even know who won the election. But ah,

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: isn't it? Is that just that seems that I don't know.

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: I guess that's the way we're gonna wrap this up. Yeah, yeah,

36
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: that is exhibit A in one of the two really

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: interesting tectonic plate shifts that I think this election had

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: made clear. One is what the hell is the Democratic

39
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Party and can they reform themselves? But the other one

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: is new media versus old media, the world of podcasting,

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: alternative media like ourselves for instance, and the alphabet networks

42
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: and the cable news guys and the rest of it.

43
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: And a case has been made quite eloquently, and to me,

44
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's just the jury doesn't even need to

45
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: retire to the jury room. That the mainstream media was

46
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: utterly dishonest about Joe Biden and his senility, and then

47
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: when it became so inescapably clear, everybody had to admit it.

48
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: They immediately switched to the incredibly unpopular, never elected to

49
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: a national office. Kamala Harris is a political genius and

50
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: everybody knows it, and she's below and that people noticed it,

51
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: and the legacy media is hurting for certain. But on

52
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: the other as it's dressed by uh, Jeff Bezos that

53
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: his first name. Yeah, for some reason, I didn't sell

54
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: right Bezos in the Washington Post right before the election.

55
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: You know, you change things, We're going to be complete,

56
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: completely irrelevant and dominated by podcasts and whatnot. So he

57
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: gets it, and there's a chance some good changes come

58
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: out of all this. Yeah. If I had a choice between,

59
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: say I had some sort of cause that I really

60
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: really wanted to pitch, or I wanted to get elected

61
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: to something, and you gave me a choice between the

62
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: front page of the Watch Washington Post or Joe Rogan, please, right,

63
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even think about it. I wouldn't even ask

64
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: anybody's advice. So that's one of the interesting tectonic plates

65
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: shifts that's become apparent and will be interesting to see. Oh,

66
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: by the way, if you get a chance to recommend

67
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: the Armstrong You Getty show or podcast of friends, do it,

68
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: which I that'd be lovely. We're in dire strait, so

69
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: oh my lord, my wife she spends and she spent kidding.

70
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: She's one of the most practical women who's ever existed

71
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: on the planet. God bless her anyway. The other super

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: interesting tectonic shift is what is the Democratic Party? And

73
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: I use the term the say no crats last hour

74
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: because I've come across a couple of died in the

75
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: world Democrats, including maybe we'll start with this. I don't

76
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: know how to pronounce the man's name. It's are you

77
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: why his last name is to Shera? But is that Roy?

78
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: Is that like a Hispanic version of Roy? Or is

79
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: it Ruy or I don't know. So no, no disrespect

80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: to mister Riff for not knowing how to pronounce his name.

81
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: But his his sub stack blog article column thing he

82
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: is called the Liberal Patriot and his article today is

83
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: the shattering of the Democratic Coalition and it's time to

84
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: face the fact. And man is he thorough. He goes

85
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: through well, he starts with the whole the obligatory calling

86
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: your opponents fascists and Nazis, and how ugly and stupid

87
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: that is as a strategy, and then he goes into

88
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: just an astounding set of statistics about how Harris underperformed

89
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Biden among men and women. The reason there was such

90
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: a big gender gap was, well, she performed Biden way

91
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: worse among men than she underperformed among women. But she

92
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: underformed underperformed both and Blacks and Hispanics and Asian Americans

93
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: and young people and except for the sixty five plus

94
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: woman crowd, old people, everybody, but like middle aged and

95
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: white college aged educated women. I mean, like everybody, but

96
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: that group that is so enamored with calling everybody Nazis

97
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: and totally into critical race theory and transgender. You know,

98
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: men can be birthing persons, menstruating little boys. That crowd,

99
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like the only ones. And then he

100
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: gets too and this is why I coin the term canocrats.

101
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: He writes, here's an idea to start with, have every

102
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: democrat ostentatiously say they subscribe to the following principles, and

103
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: he says these principles would signal to normy voters, particularly

104
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: working class voters of all races, the Democrats values and

105
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: priorities are not so different from theirs. So prerequisite for

106
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: getting these voters to listen to Democrats pitch and take

107
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: it seriously. So here it is every Democrat has to

108
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: say they subscribe to the following principles. Equality of opportunity

109
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: is a fundamental American principle. Equality of outcome is not.

110
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: America is not perfect, but it is good to be

111
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: patriotic and proud of this country. Well, I see, I

112
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: agree with this stuff, But like that first one, you're

113
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: never going to get a Democratic candidate or people running

114
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: for the nomination to say that out loud, not a chance.

115
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: Then the Democratic Party will die. That's his point. The

116
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: only way the Democratic Party saves itself is by and

117
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: there's no reason to say go back to because you know,

118
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as going back to restore the

119
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: core principles of America to the core principles of the

120
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, or they will die. What did I see?

121
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean fitting in with that a little bit. Elon

122
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: tweeted it out yesterday, I think the number was Kamala

123
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: had something like seventy five billionaires on her side, and

124
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, everybody acts like Elon's the only billionaire and

125
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: he put the he wait in for Trump and that

126
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: made the difference. And the billionaires don't want to pay

127
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: their fair share. Okay, But back to to SHARE's list.

128
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: Discrimination and racism are bad, but they are not the

129
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: cause of all disparities in American society. Racial achievement gaps

130
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: are bad and we should seek to close them. However,

131
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: they are not just due to race, and standards of

132
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: high achievement should be maintained for people of all races.

133
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Do you hear that California? You hear that Oregon, Washington

134
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: eliminating any sort of test to get a high school diploma.

135
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: No one is completely without bias, but calling all white

136
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: people racists who benefit from white privilege in American society

137
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: as a white supremacist society is not right or fair. God,

138
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: I hope this is dead? Is it dead? Is the

139
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: whole anti racist Ebram Kenny thing? Is it over? Was

140
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: it just an unfortunate blip that I had to live

141
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: through where you talk about crap like white privilege? And

142
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: the more you deny your white privilege, the more it's

143
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: proof you've got it, and all that crap. I sure

144
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: hope it will be eventually. But you know, as I

145
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: have pointed out before, the problem is that we've almost

146
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: got the opposite problem of like the Japanese soldiers who

147
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: hadn't heard about the surrender and we're stuck in the

148
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: jungles with their guns waiting to fight again. We've got

149
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: the opposite thing. We have tens of that hundred millions

150
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: of young people being churned out of an education system

151
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: that is teaching this stuff one hundred percent as much

152
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: as they were two three, four years ago. Everybody else

153
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: has realized, oh, this is poison and it's wrong, but

154
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: not our education system. So we've got like millions of

155
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: Japanese soldiers coming out of their military academies looking for

156
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: the fight, which is why we're we're at the end

157
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: of the beginning. And that's it. More from this list

158
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: of things every Democrat must sign on to or they're

159
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: going to die as a party after a word from

160
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: our friends, and there's stuff about patriotism and supporting the

161
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: military too, like Warrior Foundation, Freedom Station they're celebrating their

162
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: twenty year anniversary anniversary. You've heard us talking for years

163
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: about this great foundation near and dear to us. They

164
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 1: do wonderful work. Oh yeah, We've helped raise millions of

165
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 1: dollars for Warrior Foundation and happy to do it. The

166
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: countdown is onto their annual Freedom Station Givethon, which takes

167
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: place next Thursday. So this holiday season, consider making a

168
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: donation to fly ill and injured Marine soldiers and sailors

169
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: home for the holidays. Everyone deserves to spend the holidays

170
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: with their loved ones, especially those who so bravely sacrificed

171
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: for our country. And we've seen at firsthand how Warrior

172
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: Foundation continues to make a huge impact in the lives

173
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: of our warriors with your continued support. So consider making

174
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: a tax deductible donation next Thursday, November fourteenth at Warrior

175
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: Foundation dot org. Not only are they flying our ill

176
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: and injured fighters home for the holidays, they're building a

177
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: third transitional housing property. Is fabulous work. Go to Warrior

178
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: Foundation dot org to donate. Make sure you get the

179
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: name right Warrior Foundation dot org. Talking about Warrior Foundation

180
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: and the fact that Veterans Day is coming up reminds

181
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: me I do want to talk a little bit about

182
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: the unsettled world Trump is about to inherit and the

183
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: different directions a couple of things could go. But more

184
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: on that later. So back to Tishaar's piece, which is

185
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: so good and a lot of it follows the same

186
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: kind of ab form and I get why like this one.

187
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: America benefits from the presence of immigrants and no immigrant

188
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: even if illegals should be mistreated. So he starts with

189
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: the disclaimer on all of these to make it a

190
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: little more palatable for DS. But border security is hugely important,

191
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: as is an enforceable system that fairly decides who can

192
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: enter the country. Then he talks about police brutalities bad. However,

193
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: more and better policing is needed to get criminals off

194
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: the streets and secure public safety that cannot be provided

195
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: by defunding the police. And then he touches on uh oh,

196
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: and I love this, love this, love this. People who

197
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: want to live as a gender different from their biological

198
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: sex should have that right. However, biological sex is real

199
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: and space is limited to biological women in areas like

200
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: sports in prisons should be preserved. Medical treatments like drugs

201
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: and surgery are serious interventions that should not be available

202
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: on demand, especially for children. Then he gets into language

203
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: policing and a very sane view of climate change, including

204
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: the fact that we're gonna need fossil fuels. He says,

205
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: we must make America more equal, but we must also

206
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: make it richer. There's no contradiction between the two. A

207
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: richer country will make it easier to promote equality, and

208
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: he goes on and on. So watching this battle unfold,

209
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: it's like a civil war on the left side of

210
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: the aisle. I think reality bats last. As you pointed

211
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: out many times, Jack, I like the sane side to

212
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: win that fight for the Democratic Party, but man, it's

213
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: going to be a bloody civil war. Got some more

214
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: information on that giant Chinese hack of all our cell phones,

215
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: the biggest hack in US history. China currently can listen

216
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: to your phone calls and read your text like today.

217
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: Did you know that They've been doing it for like

218
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: a year, So we don't even actually know. We don't

219
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: know if we can ever boot them out of our

220
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: cell phone systems. We don't know how to do it,

221
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: or if we ever can. I mean, it's the most

222
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: underreported story in America right now. But a new angle

223
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: on that and a bunch of other stuff on the

224
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: way stay here.

225
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: Armstrong Hetti, a prosecutor's office in Argentina, announced criminal charges

226
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 3: today against three people in the death of Liam Payne,

227
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: the former One Direction singer, fell from a hotel balcony

228
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: in Buenos Aires last month. Authority say Pain had traces

229
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: of alcohol, cocaine, and antidepressants in his system when he died.

230
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 3: One of the suspects is a hotel worker, Authoriti say,

231
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: another is a drug dealer. The third is someone who

232
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: had been accompanying Pain during his stay in Buenos Aires.

233
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: So I've been surprised at how much attention this story

234
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: has gotten because One Direction is a boy band that

235
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: broke up quite a few years ago, and other than

236
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: Harry Styles, I didn't know anybody knew the names of

237
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: any of those people. And then one of them jumps

238
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: to his death off a balcony, out of his mind

239
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: on drugs and booze a couple of weeks ago, and

240
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: the amount of news coverage you got, all your mainstream

241
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: news has gone with it for weeks now and updates.

242
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: But I do find this angle interesting, whether you know

243
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: who the guy was or not. How the hell do

244
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: you possibly determine blame in situations where he got people,

245
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: everybody's partying like crazy, out of their minds high, and

246
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: one guy who's depressed jumps off a balcony. I mean,

247
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I can't imagine how you nailed

248
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: down people who are at fault for that or whatever.

249
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sympathetic to the idea that there's

250
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: liability there, and certainly if they are poisoned, which is

251
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: different from like an overdose, in that you gave them

252
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: a substance you mis represented what you were giving them,

253
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: that's a poisoning, not an overdose. His cause of death

254
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: seems to have been gravity. Yeah, well, yeah, I don't right,

255
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: as I said, extremely as I said at the time,

256
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: and I regret he went one direction down and I

257
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: was really beating up pretty harshly for that, as was appropriate,

258
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: as was appropriate. But yeah, I was jumping off the

259
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: balcony that killed him. But I don't know. Can you

260
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: imagine trying to sort out that sort of a mess

261
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: on who's to blame? It's like you're gonna be charged

262
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: with I don't know, I know that happens. Well, I

263
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: also don't know anything about argentinium laws, but I am

264
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: happy that it's some places in California to your point,

265
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: and around the country. They're now charging people. You give

266
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: somebody a fentanyl pill and they die, you murdered them, right, Yeah,

267
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: which is good. But if you need more of that,

268
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: someone's super distraught and drinking and taking drugs for on

269
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: a binge for weeks at a time, and they jump

270
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: off a balcony, how would you possibly nail down I

271
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess we'll see how that trial turns out.

272
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: The Chinese are listening, can listen to your phone calls today.

273
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: I was talking to my kids about this yesterday and

274
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: my son said, and he is correct, Why would the

275
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: Chinese have any interest in what I'm saying on my

276
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: phone call? Well, they probably don't, but you suppose they're

277
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: recording them all some sort of terabytes of because I said,

278
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: for one thing, we don't know what you're going to

279
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: be someday, if you're a police chief or a politician

280
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: or a who knows what, and then they've got something

281
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: on you that they can use for blackmail. I mean,

282
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons that they're doing it. How

283
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: about all your texts over the last year, anybody got

284
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: any texts out there of any kind that you'd rather

285
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: not have be shared with the world, China adds them, Yeah, yeah,

286
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: And now I am fairly certain, based partly on conversations

287
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: I've had with folks in the counter intelligence business and

288
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: partly just my own surmising, but China absolutely has probably

289
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: some sort of color coded or some sort of code

290
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: of Americans based on what they do and who they

291
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: are and how they could conceivably be useful to the

292
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party. And then I'm sure they cross reference

293
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: with and this is fairly easy to do with computers,

294
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: people who say things that are clearly you know, blackmailable. Well,

295
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: how about so, once again to bring up the twenty

296
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: twenty eight presidential election, way too early. Every single person

297
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: that's going to run for president in twenty twenty eight,

298
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: on both sides, try to be a nominee. China has

299
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: their phone calls and texts of the last year. I

300
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: think there's anything in there for any of those governors

301
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: or senators or mayors of small towns or whatever that

302
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: are going to run for president that the Chinese could

303
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: use as blackmail or embarrassment or something well right, and

304
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: if you have blackmailable, slash embarrassing material, that's you know,

305
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: that's coded in your software or whatever, and then in

306
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: five years you cross reference that with who works for

307
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: an aerospace company. Oh and I left out one of

308
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: the headlines. The federal government told the whole bunch of

309
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: federal employees yesterday to don't do anything sensitive on your

310
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: phones anymore. So back to paper and pen. I guess

311
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: that's something armstrong and getty.

312
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 4: I'm done crying. My sadness is over. My anger has

313
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 4: set in. I am a very petty person, and I

314
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 4: am very proud of that. Love it about myself. Actually,

315
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 4: and so I say this in the most disrespectful way possible.

316
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 4: I don't care if you are my family. I don't

317
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 4: care if we've been friends our entire lives. You can

318
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 4: literally go for yourself. If you voted for Donald Trump,

319
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 4: if you are so sad about your groceries being expensive,

320
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 4: get a better paying job, do better in life, get

321
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 4: a education, do something because you're stupid, And I hope

322
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 4: you go jump off of a fire bridge.

323
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: That's a professor at a college. Holy cow. So if

324
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm a Democrat, my feeling is we can either play

325
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: that crowd, continue to play that crowd and hope for

326
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: the best the Twitter crowd, or we can go back

327
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: to being the party of the regular working class dude

328
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: who doesn't believe probably any of the things that that

329
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: guy believes. That that's the big conundrum if you're a Democrat,

330
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: because all those like my I come from a family,

331
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: like everybody on my dad's side's a Democrat, all like

332
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: Iowa farmer type people, Democrats from the old Democrat tradition.

333
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: But there's not a one of them that thinks, you know,

334
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: dudes should be in women's sports, or you should use

335
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: the term latinix or any of those things. If they've

336
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: even you know, not a one of them, You just

337
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: you've abandoned that kind of Democrat. And that's why all

338
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: those people, I'd be shocked if like every one of

339
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: them didn't vote for Trump this past Tuesday. Also lifelong Democrats,

340
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: So you know, and I was, we're so in the moment,

341
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: I had to be reminded of some things in the

342
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: very recent past, like I wonder how many of your

343
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: dad's kin would be in favor of firing any soldier, firefighter,

344
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: healthy young man, for instance, who wouldn't get the COVID

345
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: jab right right right? Keeping schools closed even though the

346
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: one next door that's private is open. How in favor

347
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: of that? Were they? A couple of things here? One,

348
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: there was a rumor going around. I don't know what

349
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: you call news anymore. That's not true. Do you call

350
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: him rumors? I guess you call it misinformation. There was

351
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: a misinformation going around on social media from a number

352
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: of fairly high profile people on Twitter, for instance. Trump

353
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: has announced that he was misleading people about Project twenty

354
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: twenty five and he plans to enact it within hours

355
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: of the president and people were taking it seriously. Oh geez,

356
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: what's the matter with you? People with ad journalist from

357
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: The Dispatch, which is a very fair organization, anti Trump,

358
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: but very fair news organization, the Dispatch. Trump hasn't announced

359
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: he lied about Project twenty twenty five. He hasn't even

360
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: mentioned Project twenty twenty five since becoming president elect, and

361
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: during a campaign Trump called it seriously extreme and said

362
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: he never read it, which is the truth, right? Yeah,

363
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: that's hilarious on so many levels. You think Trump is

364
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: taking the views of think tanks. I mean, what view

365
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: of you on the left is it of Trump that

366
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: includes him big on think tanks telling him what to do.

367
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: It just doesn't fit. Yeah. Yeah, But here's one of

368
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: my favorite things that came across yesterday from the New

369
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: York Times if I can find it, the headline being

370
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: news analysis for Black women. America has revealed its true self.

371
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's resounding defeat affirmed the worst of what many

372
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: Black women believed about their country. Even if some of

373
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: them looked to the future with waryed determination, and they

374
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: go through blah blah blah blah blah what happened, But

375
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: underneath their hope and determination for Kamala Harris was a

376
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: persistent Was America ready? They asked to elect a black woman?

377
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: The painful answer arrived this week. This is news analysis

378
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: in the New York Times, not just some people's opinions

379
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: that can be proven wrong by all the data from

380
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: all just exit pollings, flat out data. However you want

381
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: to look at it. It's very easily refuted that this

382
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: is true, but your news analysis goes along with it.

383
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: Back to the news analysis, it affirmed the worst of

384
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: what many black women believed about their country, that it

385
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: would rather choose a man who was and they list

386
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: all the things about Donald Trump that they don't like

387
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: than send a woman of color to the White House. Yeah,

388
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it was. It was all about it

389
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: being a woman of color. They're actually delusional. I would

390
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: think if you want to win elections, you'd want to

391
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of what actually happened. I mean,

392
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: it's really easy to say it was racism and sexism

393
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: and just rest on I don't know what we do

394
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: racists and sexist. That's nuts. You're nuts if you actually

395
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: believe that, you're crazier or I know you can't handle

396
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: the truth as a trite phrase, but maybe you actually

397
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: can't handle the truth. No, it's a good one. That's

398
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: a fine phrase. Yeah, And you know it's funny. There's

399
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: part of me, the part of me that wants conservative

400
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: values to be the ones that rule the day, who's like, yeah,

401
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: just keep going down that road, keep making it all

402
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: about identity politics, even as many Democrats, and we have

403
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: a number of their voices ready to go today, are

404
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: saying we've got to dump the woke thing, the transgender thing,

405
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 1: We've got to dump identity politics. It's unhealthy and Unamerican.

406
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: But they have They're the ones who publish the newsletter.

407
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: They've got the media and entertainment and education. Those lunatics,

408
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: you know who I pity. I pity moderate Democrats all

409
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: are Oh man, you got you got crazy people in

410
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: your house and they're running around brandishing knives. It's like

411
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: fatal Attraction was at the movie with the Glenn Closes

412
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: and the rabbit and everything. You've got actual murderous lunatics

413
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: running around in your own house. So we've got Trump,

414
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: but you know it will deal with that. So then

415
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: they build their case for this news analysis by quoting

416
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of older black women who unfortunately are

417
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: delusional or have been misled by what's actually going on,

418
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: and they, you know, they go with the whole multiple

419
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: anecdotes equals data thing. So you have six people agreeing

420
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: with you, and so that's proof that this is true,

421
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: I guess. And then they get to what a lot

422
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: of journalists on the right call the to be sure paragraph,

423
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: where you have to throw in some reality to like

424
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: justify your journalism. I guess many Democrats saw the brutal

425
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: political environment for the party. Yeah, like inflation and immigration

426
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: peppered with anger about President Biden's leadership has more to

427
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: blame for Miss Harris's crushing loss than the double edged

428
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: sword of racism and sexism. But others reflecting on a

429
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: campaign listen to this description from The New York Times.

430
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: This is news analysis. This is not supposed to be

431
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: an opinion piece. Others reflecting on a campaign devoid of

432
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: controversy or obvious missteps by a qualified candidate who almost

433
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: never held out a race or gender as reasons to

434
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: vote for or found it difficult to ignore suspicions about

435
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: why mister Trump won with the such ease. So the

436
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: New York Times Day narrative stated many times in many

437
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: forums it was practically a perfect can the New York

438
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: Times saying with a straight face that the campaign was

439
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: devoid of controversy or obvious missteps, the not answering any questions, Uh,

440
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: what would be different about you from Biden? I can't

441
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,239
Speaker 1: think of anything. Are you kidding me? Really? I mean,

442
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: come on, even the people on your side, the David

443
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: Axelrods of the world, were like, oh my god, this

444
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: is a disaster. I mean, come on, New York Times

445
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: not even trying. This has got to be a manifestation

446
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: of the fact that politics is now identity. Your politics

447
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: are your identity, and so much democratic politics is identity politics,

448
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: and the whole critical theory Neo Marx's postmodern thing that

449
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: is who I am. And if you tell me Kamala

450
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: Harris lost because of this stuff, which is who I am,

451
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: that's very difficult to get people to swallow and confess to,

452
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: really difficult. It's very different. I'm sorry, go ahead. I

453
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: don't know what the point of having having a conversation

454
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: with somebody would be. If somebody is going to say, well,

455
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: her campaign, she made no mistakes. There was no controversy

456
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: throughout the entire thing, so it has to be racism,

457
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: and say, well, why are we even talking?

458
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 5: Then?

459
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: To me, it's like, you know, studying the behavior of

460
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: Will Debece or something like that. It's a fascinating creature

461
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: with odd mating rituals because you know, over here on

462
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: this side of the aisle, at least, you know, speaking

463
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: for myself, if my ideas, the ideas I like the best,

464
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: don't win, my reaction to that is dang it, we

465
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: didn't explain him right, or or people didn't get it,

466
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: or how can we do it better next time. It's

467
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: not you rijected me. I hate you. You should jump

468
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: off a bridge like that pathetic blanking professor. My god,

469
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: he did. There isn't mental health care good enough for

470
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: him to start him out for the rest of his life.

471
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if you took the rest of his life,

472
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: that's just looney tunes. Kamala didn't go to the Al

473
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: Smith dinner and then lost some Catholic areas that a

474
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: Democrat hadn't lost in decades and decades and decades, that

475
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: there'd be a possible misstep. I can think of many more. No, No,

476
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: there weren't any there. It was a perfect campaign. There

477
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: were no missteps nor controversies.

478
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 5: Uh uh.

479
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: Focus group after focus group said they have no idea

480
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: what she's in favor of. There were no controversies there.

481
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: You gotta do the logic gear. Since there were no

482
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: controversy or missteps, logically, then it had to be her

483
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: gender and race that caused people to vote for Trump.

484
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: All right, alliteration, that's very sarelock holmesy and investments Again,

487
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,800

Speaker 1: simply Safe system that I've got set up there. I

498
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: got to sign out in the front yard because I

499
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: set it all up myself with the sensors and the

500
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: camera and all that sort of stuff. But with their

501

512
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: my almost thirteen year old only wants one thing for

513
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: Christmas and his birthday. His birthday is two days before Christmas,

514
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: so he wants a big, bigger combo thing. All he

515
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: wants is to see the Eagles. The music the Eagles

516
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Oh wow. I've been

517
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: claiming that there's no way we can do that, while

518
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: planning to do it very clever. We're leaving today, but

519
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't listen to talk radio, so I'm really not

520
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: worried about this getting back to him. But we're leaving today,

521
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: going to Vegas and and go to the Sphere to

522
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: see the Eagles, and I'm looking forward to seeing them

523
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: to be like, we saw a show at the Sphere

524
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: like a movie and it was fantastic. I don't know

525
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: what it's going to be like to see a concert there.

526
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't quite get it why you want to basically

527
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: watch a music video with a soundtrack of the music

528
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: you like, but it's live, but you're not watching them,

529
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: you're watching the music video. I just I don't quite

530
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: get the idea behind it because it's like an old

531
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: timey movie theater where the guy's in the organ with

532
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: the silent movie. Because it's set up and way that

533
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: it's not for you know, the best seats are up

534
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: close where you can see the band. The best seats

535
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: are far away so you can watch the movie spectacle

536
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: and listen to them play live to it, which I

537
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: don't know. It kind of feels like to me, like,

538
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: how about you don't have the band and you just

539
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: play a recording of their songs and I'll watch this movie.

540
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like, I said, I don't quite

541
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: get it. I saw Vince gilb the country star who's

542
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: in the Eagles now, and I'm a big Vince Gill fan,

543
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: so that'll be cool. But him say, it's the most

544
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: ignored I've ever been in any performance in my life.

545
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: He said, nobody's looking at us. Everybody's watching the screen.

546
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: So it's kind of weird from that standpoint. Yeah, I

547
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: don't want to be old guy who yells at clouds,

548
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: but there's absolutely been a shift. I was watching a

549
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: police show, the band The Police from nineteen eighty three.

550
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: I think it was like the show was within a

551
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: week of when I met my wife, which was kind

552
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: of fun in nostalgia e ah, since their album was

553
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: number one when we met. But it was the biggest

554
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: band in the world. Three guys and their backup singers

555
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: on a stage with the spareest of lighting playing their songs,

556
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: and the very large auditorium was wrapped with attention. Right,

557
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: that's funny. That's now, it's gotta be a zillion things

558
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: going on. It one spectacle. Well, I don't know if

559
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: it has to be or not. I don't know. I

560
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm going to think this is a

561
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: good Vince Gill in his interview, and I doubt the

562
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: people at the sphere like this. He said, I don't

563
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: get it. He said, I'm a guy about music. I've

564
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: never liked pyrotetrics or shows or anything like that. I'm

565
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: there for the music when I go to see a show.

566
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: I want everybody else to be there for music. But

567
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: this is what people want. It's what they want. It's

568
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: basically what he said I'm getting seats on the floor

569
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: closer to the band. I want to watch the band.

570
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not too distracted by the music video

571
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: that I don't care that much about. But i'll see what.

572
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: I'll report back on Monday of what I think of

573
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: the whole thing. The sound will be amazing. They have

574
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty six thousand speakers in that place.

575
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: I have never heard sound like I heard when we

576
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: went to movie there. I mean, it's like anything my

577
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: ears have ever experienced in my life, the way it

578
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: comes from everywhere and inside you and Base like you

579
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: didn't even know Base could be this way. So from

580
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: that standpoint, it'll be cool. We wear the brown note. Yeah,

581
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: more on that to come, a lot more on the

582
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: way stay here. Yeah. The main thing I'm looking for

583
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: is Joe Walsh playing this song. I looked at the setlist.

584
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: They closed with it. Oh really? Now coming up the

585
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: media lost in a landslide, no doubt, and the battle

586
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: for the soul of the Democratic Party. More on the

587
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: coming civil war and it'll be bloody between the Satokratz

588
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: and the woke lunatics. Stay with us so I like

589
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: the autopsies over all, this stuff both campaigns, media coverage,

590
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. But I'm definitely ready to turn

591
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: toward policy and how we're going to handle a whole

592
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,479
Speaker 1: bunch of things going on in the world, what Trump's

593
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: view of it. Like I said, through the whole campaign,

594
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't actually know what Trump's feelings are about China, Taiwan, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Hamas.

595
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't actually know. Here's a woman from the Economist

596
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: on Morning Joe Today talking about what she thinks Trump's

597
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: going to be like for Ukraine Russia, And actually, I think, and.

598
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 5: This may surprise you, he may not be as bad,

599
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 5: for example, for Ukraine as many people think. And I

600
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 5: was very struck in our reporting this week my colleague

601
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 5: based in Kiev were it an excellent piece that suggests

602
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 5: senior people in Kiev were rather hoping for a Trump

603
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 5: victory because they were so fed up of the sort

604
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 5: of self denial and timidity of the Biden administration that

605
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 5: they felt, you know, they weren't getting the weaponry that

606
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 5: they needed. There was a sense that there was so

607
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 5: much worry in Washington right now about escalation by Trump

608
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 5: by Blutin. So I think we're just it's like the

609
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 5: whole post w order has been thrown out own, it's

610
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 5: shaken up.

611
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: That's really interesting. So I didn't see that part of Morning.

612
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: Gilbert Hanson portrayed it as usually you'd expect on the channel.

613
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: Were looking for this woman for the economists to talk about, well,

614
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: how the world is going to be thrown into chaos

615
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: by the crazy, evil Trump, and she went with, oh,

616
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be good for Ukraine Trump and

617
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: they were really frustrated by the timidity of the Biden administration.

618
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: I'm still making my way through Bob Woodward's War book.

619
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: If you're going to take anything away from that book,

620
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the couple little anecdotes about Trump that

621
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 1: everybody talked about a couple of weeks ago. It would

622
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: be about the frustration around Biden's handling of Ukraine. From

623
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: the beginning. Wow, that's really interesting incrementalism. You could hear

624
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: little Mika not exactly digging right, her guests Eric right,

625
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: and her inescapable logic. Yeah, which is interesting because her dad,

626
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: I believe, who was the National security advisor for Carter,

627
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: would have been really upset about Biden's timidity, understanding how

628
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: the only way you can deal with these people is

629
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: to show you're willing to stand up to them.

630
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

631
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what an enormous blind spot thinking, well, the

632
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: one thing to avoid is them thinking I might hurt

633
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: them for doing the wrong thing. We can't have that.

634
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: What Seriously, it's like it's like trying to read a

635
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: T shirt in a mirror. I mean, it's backward. Woodward's

636
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: book makes it pretty clear that Putin would have not

637
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: gone into Ukraine until other than he saw the way

638
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: Biden handled Afghanistan and decided, oh, he's weak, he'll never

639
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: do anything. And also that the Obama administration reacting the

640
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: way they did in twenty fourteen when he went in

641
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 1: also led him to believe that the Biden Obama crowd

642
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 1: was weak and would never push back. That's pretty harsh

643
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: judgment from Bob Woodward book, But that got no attention. No.

644
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: All the coverage of the book was about and somebody

645
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: called trumpet jerk. Yeah great, the war for the soul

646
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party. Who will win?

647
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 5: It?

648
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: Got some really interesting audio from some sane folks who

649
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: are trying to save the party but losing Stay with us,

650
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:02,880
