WEBVTT - There's All Kinds Of Hinky S Going On 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:07.640 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.680 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, arm Strong and Getty and 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:25.560 he Armstrong and Eddy. Elon called me. 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.480 He said, you know they're trying to drive us apart. 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.000 I said absolutely. Now, they said, we are breaking as 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.280 Donald Trump has seated control of the presidency to Elon Musk. 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.760 President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting at eight o'clock. 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.320 And I say, it's just so obvious. They're so bad 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.159 at it. I used to think they were good at it. 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.199 They're actually bad at it. Because if they were good 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:48.599 at it, I'd never be president. 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:49.479 You know. 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.040 I wanted to find somebody smarter than him. 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.959 I searched all over. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't. 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.320 I couldn't really try it harder. I couldn't find anyone smaller. Right, 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.920 So we had it. We had it for the country. 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.800 But they settled, and we settled on this. 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:09.000 Thanks having me, Donald Trump and Elon Musk their first 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.800 interview together, I believe on Hannity on Fox last night. 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.839 They do have a bit of a bromance going, right, 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:18.520 And we've. 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.840 All seen the just ham handed efforts of the mainstream 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.759 media to like drive a wedge, and I wondered how 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.800 that was going. I'm glad to hear they're snickering at 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.600 it so obvious. 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:31.080 Yeah, let's hear a little more of this. 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:31.679 Well. 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.920 I respect him, I've always respected him. 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:34.720 Uh. 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.600 I never knew that he was right on certain things, 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:43.520 and I'm usually pretty good at this stuff. He did starlink, 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.560 He did things that was so advanced and nobody knew 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.440 what the hell they were. We watched the rocket chips, 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.160 so we watch Tesler. I think you know, something that 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:53.800 had an effect on me was when I saw the 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.280 rocket ship come back and get grabbed, like you grab 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:58.640 a beautiful little baby. 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.360 You grab your baby. It just I've never seen everyone. 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:09.840 Yeah, a little more on that front. 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.120 When he talks about the executive orders, and this is 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.720 probably true for all precedents. You write an executive order 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.320 and you think it's done. You said to out, it 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.440 doesn't get done, it doesn't get implemented, they don't implement it. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.040 As soon as he said that, I said, you know, 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:23.920 that's interesting. 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.000 You write a beautiful executive and you sign it and 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.160 you assume it's going to be done. 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:29.520 But it's not. 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.840 What he does is he takes it and with his 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:36.079 hundred geniuses. He's got some very brilliant young people working 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.120 for him that dress much worse than him. 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.880 Actually, they dressing just T shirts. You wouldn't you wouldn't know. 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.919 They have one hundred and eighty ideas. So he's your 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.320 tech support. Actually, he gets it done. He's a leader. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:48.399 He gets it done. 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.240 So when he said that, he said, you know, when 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.520 you sign these executive orders, a lot of them don't 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.400 get done, and maybe the most important ones. And he 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.200 would take that executive order that I'd sign and he 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:02.160 would have those people go to whatever agency it was, when. 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.600 Are you doing it? Get it done? Get it done? 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.440 And some guy that maybe didn't want to do. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.840 It, all of a sudden he's signing it. 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:09.480 Just does. 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.640 I thought that was interesting because that's the thing our 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:16.800 friend Tim Sander is always talking about. You know, you 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.280 they pass a bill or in this case it's executive orders, 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.440 you know, no bad things. Then it goes off into 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.400 the department or the agency or whatever, and they do 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.760 whatever the hell they want. Yeah, and nobody follows up 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:27.000 on it. 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.520 And I've always thought the term deep state was just 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:36.280 too scary movie conspiracy theory sounding, even though it's accurate. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.480 I've always preferred the term the permanent bureaucracy because it's 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.920 you know, more plain spoken. And the permanent bureaucracy swings 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.720 way left because it is in large measure you unionized 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.880 government employees, and they do what they want. They can 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.840 slow walk you, they can lose the file, they cannot 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.600 return the call. They can uh, well, sorry, we worded 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.000 that wrong when we put out funding. But there are 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:05.360 a thousand ways that the bureaucracy, the permanent bureaucracy Steymy's 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.040 cabinet officials and even the president. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.000 I like the fact that Elon Musk, as wealthy as 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.720 he is, cares about taxpayer money for the average person, 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:15.880 like he talks about here. 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.960 In order to save taxpayer money, it comes down to 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:24.840 two things, competence and caring. And when the President was 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.880 shown the outrageous bill for the new Air Force one 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:32.279 and then negotiated it down, if the President had not 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.560 applied competence in caring, the price would have been fifty 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:41.880 percent higher, literally fifty percent higher. The president cared the 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.640 president's competent, the price was not fifty percent higher. As 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.640 a result, and so when you add more competence and caring, 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.040 you get a better deal for the American people. 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:52.800 I think the average. 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.280 Taxpaying Americans should be mad as hell because their tax 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:56.760 money is being I'm early spent. 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.080 There aren't many people, especially people that have lived their 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:05.440 lives in government, who think about how taxpayer money is 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.159 spent at all. 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.839 Or to the contrary of what he was describing, they 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.960 want more so they can hand out more to enhance 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.440 their own power. The idea of cutting spending is abhorrent, 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.960 as we've said many times on many themes, whether it's 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.560 the bullet train in California or the green energy scam 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.919 of grants. The point is handing out the money. The 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:32.640 program is an excuse. The point is to spend the money. 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:34.520 Yeah. 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.039 I don't know how you get to where you don't 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:37.440 care about people's tax money. 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:38.080 I mean. 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.000 The people I run around with, and you tend to 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.080 run around with people like yourself. Mostly your whole life 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.680 is just you know, you get your first real paycheck, 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.839 it's like how much gets taken out. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.919 And then you find and then what's it going to? 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.560 This What we're explaining is the reason why you have 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.880 to have severely restricted government. If it gets big and bloated, 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.719 it will steal and waste, because that is how human 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:07.839 beings act every single time. The it's it's not odd 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.760 or surprising that politicians don't care about what did he say, 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.560 competence and caring. It's because they're out to achieve the opposite. 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.839 It's not that they're not good at it, it's that 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.719 they're trying to do the opposite. That would be my 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.719 only quibble with with Elon. Now, there are some, certainly 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.599 you who are are responsible and care about taxpayer money, 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:28.800 but it's it's a. 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:33.440 Bit of a niche. I think in DC, Trump did 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.960 a lot of praising Elon. Here's Elon praising Trump. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.080 I think I think President Trump is a good man 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:39.880 and he's you. 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.960 Know, I said, that's the way he said that. You know, 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:43.800 it's something I. 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.400 Said that it really is, you know, because I mean, 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.359 the President has been so unfailure attacked in the media. 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:52.800 It's truly outrageous. 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.120 And I've spent at this point spent a lot of 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:00.000 time with president and not once have I seen him 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.920 something that was mean or cruel or or wrong. 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.320 That on that's interesting. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.280 So according to the Doge guys, they found four point 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:17.280 seven trillion dollars in treasury payments on untraceable budget lines 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:22.240 with a code. Well, in the federal government, you've got 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.480 this Treasury Access symbol, which is a code you put 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.400 on the expenditure to show what kind of expenditure is 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:29.440 and where it's going. 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.320 And they said quote in the federal government. 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.440 The TAS field was optional for about four point seven 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.320 trillion dollars in payments and was often left blank, making 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:42.880 traceability almost impossible. They posted on X as of Saturday, 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.160 this is now required field. I'm sorry. I meant to 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.120 say Twitter. I refuse to say X. I will never 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:48.720 say X again unless I slip up. 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.400 It's Twitter. That's a good hill to die on. Yeah, 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.000 I'm ready to go anyway. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.840 This will increase insight into where money's actually going. 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:56.200 Now. 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:57.840 There have been a handful of things that they've said, 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.280 like the fifty million dollars in condoms and gods that 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:04.200 that's not true, and the Politico subscription thing. Sorry, folks, 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.600 that was completely misunderstood. That was not what it was 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.080 portrayed to be. It was actually pretty legitimate. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.040 The condoms of the Tally Band's true, isn't it? Well, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:14.920 kind of sort of. 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.920 It was part of a big package of aid to 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.320 the country, and some of it was spent on condoms, 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.040 and it's you know, I could get into the details, 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.440 but a lot of the headlines that get hot online 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.120 are grossly oversimplified. 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.720 And actually Elon walked back the millions of dollars of 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:32.560 condoms in Gazi. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.560 He said, yeah, I just got that wrong. Sorry, which 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.880 is fine, that's going to happen. I'm not there are 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.960 some people are using that as an indictment of the 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.240 entire effort, but they're the ones in on the scam, 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.120 so they'll do anything they can to derail it anyway, 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.640 that's right. My point was this four point seven trillion 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.560 dollars in untraceable money. I want to stay with this 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.000 because it sounds like too perfect to be true, right, 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.720 But if it's even close to true that they're I mean. 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.079 That's not impossible. 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.920 Remember in California, it was a big story in California, 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.360 the billions of dollars we've spent on the homeless problem. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.400 Somebody looked into you know, how it's doing, where it's 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:18.280 going impossible. Nobody was keeping track of any results with 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:19.320 that money at all. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.200 Not only did they not know what the results were. 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.760 There isn't even an mechanism to check. 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.760 There wasn't nobody drew up a the way we would 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.760 measure results and check back in six months. 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.760 There just wasn't one naving well. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.120 Right, And if cal Unicornia, which is a nation, if 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:41.199 you will, of roughly forty million people to get in 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.920 the world, is he regularly here exactly could get that 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.200 corrupted off track? Well, it's certainly possible that in the 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.800 deep dark recesses of the Treasury there's all sorts. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:49.760 Of hinky as going on. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.480 Anyway, Speaking of hinky s and crime and scumbags and 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.240 progressive policies and that sort of thing, every twenty six 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.400 seconds the burglary takes place in the US.

He was the dark arts teacher. 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.360 Awesome, as I recall, Uh, we got a lot more 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.920 on the way, stay here, Armstrong. 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:30.199 And so who is in charge of DOGE? 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:37.120 The President of the United States, he's the administrator of DOGE. No, 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:42.000 the DOGE is the what was formerly US Digital Services. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.840 It's an agency of the federal government that reports into 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.800 the Office of the Executive Office of the President, which 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.720 reports to the President of the United States. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.240 That was a short clip of a longer exchange in 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:58.600 which Abudan Costella, like Brianna Keeler simpleton CNN. 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.000 Uh, the guest was involved with the pols, what polls? 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:02.560 Some of them? 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.439 All of them I like, are actually uh just as 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.959 a presence on CNN seems like a last person. 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.400 I don't even remember where to find CNN. 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:16.160 Like most Americans, it's dead to me anyway. But the 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:20.600 current campaign among the media is who's even a charge dog? 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.160 It's accountable to no one, only to itself. I mean, no, 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.720 that's what we're trying to deal with, is unaccountable only 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:30.760 to its you lying at it. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.959 Chris extra hilarious, of course, since all of the media 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.640 outside of Fox didn't ask those questions for the last 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.960 four years when somebody was running the country, the foreign policy, 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:46.760 the domestic policy, everything, because the president's mind was shot 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.080 and you weren't asking those questions of who's running things? 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.080 Then you read my mind. 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.160 So the fact that it's somewhat unclear, in fact, it's 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.360 not at all unclear, but we're pretending that it's somewhat unclear. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.520 That this new little agency that's trying to rain and spending. 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.240 Is it's not clear who's a charge all. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:05.160 Of a sudden, that's the crisis. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:10.360 The whole effing country was run by nobody knows for 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.760 the last at least a couple of years, and you 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.200 didn't have any interest in asking that question, Brianna Phony. 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.920 Final thought on doge. As we mentioned before, Elon was 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.240 toying with the idea of as they identified just enormous 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.320 areas of fraud and waste, that they eliminate and save 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.960 billions and billions and billions of dollars. They ought to 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.600 carve off a check to the American taxpayer, give them, say, 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.840 five thousand dollars of their tax money back. Yes, because 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.720 we've saved so much. And it occurred to me, with 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.200 the help of one of Josiah and Utah brilliant listener, 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.920 that if you were to carve off, like I don't know, 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.440 twenty five cents thirty five cents of every dollar they 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.800 save and return it to the taxpayer, and then the 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.080 other two thirds of it just eliminate from the budget 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.240 and stuff like that, the popularity of doge would be 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.480 a perpetual motion machine. The more they cut, the more 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.520 people would love it. It could be the best idea 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:03.880 in the history of politics. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.080 Five thousand dollars. Check, I'm off to the Indian casino 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:07.960 read twenty one. 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:12.680 Come on now, well tis they're on? How much time 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.120 I got, Mike, I'm trying to decide to would do 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.800 this here or not? Pens whether you keep eating poorly? 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:18.640 I've got three minutes here. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:25.800 So Trump just tweeted out, uh oh, this is after 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.840 yesterday where he blamed Ukraine for starting the war, which 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.080 I have no idea what that is. 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.200 This is Trump a few minutes ago. Think of it. 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:39.240 A modestly successful comedian, Vladimer Zelenski talked to the United 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.240 States of America into spending three hundred and fifty billion 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.520 dollars to go into a war that couldn't be won, 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.960 that never had to start, but a war that he 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.880 without the US and Trump will never be able to settle. 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.800 The United Sates States has spent two hundred billion dollars 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.320 more than Europe, and Europe's money is guaranteed, while the 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.120 United States will get nothing back. Why didn't sleepy Joe 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.640 Biden demand equalization? In that this war is far more 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.360 important to Europe than it is to us. We have 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.800 a big, beautiful ocean at separation. On top of this, 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.800 Zelensky admits that half of the money we sent him 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.040 is missing. He refuses to have elections, is very low 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.080 in Ukrainian polls, and the only thing he was good 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:19.120 at was playing Biden like a fiddle. He's a dictator 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.320 without elections. Zelensky better move fast, and he's not going 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.120 to have a country left. In the meantime, we are 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.040 successfully no negotiating an end. 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.040 Of the war. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.560 Zelensky probably wants to keep the gravy train going. I 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.320 love Ukraine, but Lezinsky has done Zelensky has done a 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.840 terrible job. His country is shattered and millions have unnecessarily died, 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:50.400 and so it continues. That's uh horrible, I know, shocking. 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.160 I know people that believe that. I think you're unbelievably wrong, 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.880 that this is some sort of for profit scheme that 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.080 Zelensky has dreamed up and he's a dictator and all that. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.200 I think he's a hero and a patriot who risked 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.280 his own life and his family's life to stay there 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.520 and try to defend his country in the face of 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:12.560 the worst invasion since. 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:18.760 Hitler right, and he was freely elected. Yeah, I if 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.440 I'm going to be brutally honest about Trump, I don't 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:27.719 think he has a philosophy of geopolitics other than America first. 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:33.680 And sometimes I think he doesn't understand that it is 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:41.480 absolutely in America's long term interest materially to enforce and 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:46.520 preserve the norms of you know, international relations that of 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.400 his existed post World War Two. 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.040 I think he is way too cavalier about throwing that away. 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:55.119 Yeah, when the world order is gone, we'll miss it. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.359 We'll miss it a lot because it benefits us greatly. 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.320 And everything Doze is doing right could be washed away 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:03.560 about the tides. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.879 Of chaos anyway, That's Trump's latest tweet.

Anyway, this is the whole conversation, 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:07.920 because I was saying this up until a couple of 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.399 years ago, not having any idea what I was talking about, 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.560 which is true of a lot of things that I 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:13.040 talk about. 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:18.119 But you know, you can't yell fire in a crowded 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:18.640 movie house. 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:23.240 So to like nail this down without even getting into 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.000 the court case it came from originally and all that 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:27.960 sort of stuff, which we can do if you want, but. 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:28.960
