But as a candidate, 5 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: you said you would have this horse settled in twenty 6 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: four hours. 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 2: Well, I was being a little bit sarcastic when I 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: said that I would. What I really mean is I'd 9 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: like to get it settled, and I'll think I think 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: I'll be successful. 11 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: What's the plan If Putin doesn't agree to a cease fire? 12 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: Bad news for this world because so many people are dying. 13 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: But I think he's going to agree. I really do. 14 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,959 Speaker 2: I think I know him pretty well, and I think 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: he's going to agree. 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 3: Putin and Trump talking tomorrow, and that should be something. 17 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 3: How about that first part? This has been going on 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 3: since twenty fifteen. It's the old you know, take him 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 3: seriously or literally thing. Of course, he didn't mean he 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 3: could settle the Russian UKRAIND twenty four hours. No, No, 21 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 3: he just meant that he'll settle it. It's a high 22 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: priority and he can settle it quickly. I mean, I 23 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 3: don't know why he has to. 24 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 4: I don't know either in this code, but it's an 25 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 4: easily decodable code. 26 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I would say, yeah, So I'm not shocked 27 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 3: to that. But that was Cheryl Atkinson, who has a 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: I don't know, some odd channel I've never heard of 29 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 3: that she's on now and she used to be a 30 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 3: big star at CBS back in the day, and Trump 31 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 3: being old, decided to talk to her. 32 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: But on the whole Russia thing, Mike. 33 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: Wallas, who's the National Security Advisor, was on one of 34 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: the shows yesterday talking about the agreement and well, I'll 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: save my comments for after you hear this. 36 00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: Are we going to dry? 37 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 5: I have every Russian off of every inch of Ukrainian soil, 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 5: including Crimea. And what the strategy of the Biden administration 39 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 5: was was as long as it takes, as much as 40 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 5: it takes, no matter what the timeline is, which is 41 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 5: essentially endless warfare in an environment that we're literally losing 42 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 5: hundreds of thousands of people in a matter of months 43 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 5: and could escalate into World War three. So we can 44 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 5: talk about what's right and wrong, and we also have 45 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 5: to talk about the reality of the situation on the ground. 46 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 5: And that's what we are doing through proximity talks, and 47 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 5: it astounds me how that is criticized. 48 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: If you're a regular listener to the show orre you're 49 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 3: one of the new listeners of the show. With a 50 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 3: bunch of stations that were going on today, my personal 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: position is, I hate the idea that we're sending the 52 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: message to the world that if you decide to take 53 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 3: another country, you can get away with it, which I 54 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 3: think is the message it's going to be received. 55 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: As we are going to allow Putin to get away 56 00:02:59,840 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: with it. 57 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 3: But that cake has been baked, and it's it's interesting 58 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 3: that Biden gets credit for saying We're with you till 59 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 3: the end, till the very end, We'll stick with you 60 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: to the end, but not actually following through it anyway 61 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: that would have allowed Ukraine to win. 62 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: So how are you How are you actually going to 63 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: boot Russia out of that territory they took. 64 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: I wish, I wish that the free world would do that, 65 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: but Biden wasn't going to do that. 66 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 4: No, I think it's accurate to say that Trump is 67 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 4: doing I'm sorry, Trump is saying what Biden was doing, right. 68 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, and just deciding to rather than let 69 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 3: it drag on for years until you leave office. So 70 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: you get credit for saying we stuck with the democracy 71 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: till the end, until the end of my term anyway, 72 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: when you weren't actually doing it, and Trump's gonna wrap 73 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: it up again. Not my preferred outcome, but I just 74 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: think we're I think Trump's just with the reality that 75 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: already existed. 76 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 4: If I were a betting man, wait a minute, I 77 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 4: am a betting man. Since I am a betting man, 78 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 4: I am betting that after some sort of brief and 79 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 4: phony pause, Putin just continues doing what he'd hoped to do. 80 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: He will not agree to NATO country peacekeepers on Ukrainian soil. 81 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: Okay, So I agree with that. So then what is 82 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 3: the response from the Trump administration? 83 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: Then I don't have the slightest idea, I really do. 84 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 4: I'm not going to predict that Trump's attitude toward Russia 85 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 4: is completely mystifying to me. 86 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know either. 87 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: I don't know how this phone call is going tomorrow. 88 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: I sure would like to hear him say something maging 89 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: abou about Putin at some point, as he is one 90 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 3: of the worst human beings on planet Earth. 91 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 4: So on a completely different topic, The most explosive revelations 92 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 4: from Jake Tapper's new book about Biden's decline, Oh Boy, 93 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 4: excerpts have been leaked. 94 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna read you one. It comes out when someday anytime. Now, Okay, 95 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: I'm surprised that article doesn't include that. 96 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 3: I would think that. 97 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: Would be kid. I would have to look. My eyes 98 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: are very tired. I'll look it up while you're talking. 99 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 4: President Joe Biden sat hunched at the head of the table. 100 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 4: He puzzled over his daily brief, now delivered in the 101 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 4: form of a sound book for toddlers. Quote A is 102 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 4: for afghan A A is for A is for Afghanistan. 103 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 4: It drove his aids crazy, but they knew the sacrifice 104 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 4: was worth it for the moment, at least this diminished 105 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: man they had taken a calling quote. The commander in 106 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 4: corpse would be too occupied to follow up on his 107 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: latest obsession, filming a. 108 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,119 Speaker 1: Hot sex tape with doctor Jill. 109 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 4: Among the senior advisors, only a hunter had taken it seriously, 110 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 4: but the first son had other things on his mind. 111 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: Today. 112 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: Now I feel like this might be a joke, but 113 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: I'm willing to stick out the rest of your reading. 114 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 4: Dunkirk, Hunter said, slapping the table with authority.

I'm only halfway through her 343 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 3: autobiography that came out last week. 344 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 4: That was the mentally ill Dylan Mulvaney a click back 345 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 4: in the day. This is interesting. It took a little 346 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 4: longer than the Biden administration turning informer and calling Jake 347 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: Tapper on the phone. But the whole hiring Dylan mulvaney 348 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 4: to be a bud Light partner or whatever unofficial spokesperson thing. 349 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 4: People are starting to talk now and a former Anheuser 350 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 4: Busch executive talked to Fox Business recently saying that decision 351 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 4: was not authentic at all. The problem with the bud 352 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 4: Light Dylan mulvaney partnership was they were just not an 353 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 4: authentic partnership. They were catering to a lot of special interests, 354 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 4: and he told Fox News he realized he needed to 355 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 4: leave the company when DEI was preventing the brand from 356 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 4: what should have been a no brainer business decision, like 357 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 4: partnering with veteran owned Black Rifle Coffee. I joined a 358 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 4: company that I thought was a great meritocracy and then 359 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 4: I saw the company really change, especially after twenty twenty 360 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 4: twenty one, when the DEI movement was really gaining steam, 361 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 4: he said, so the company said no to black Rifle Coffee, 362 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 4: but yes to trends influencer Dylan mulvaney. 363 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: One thing I will not tolerate people saying about me 364 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: is that I don't like beer, because I love beer 365 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: and I always. 366 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 3: Have well, Black Lifel Coffee almost got folded into the 367 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: Budweiser world that would have been. 368 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 4: It doesn't say specifically what sort of partnership would be, 369 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 4: but the ensuing backlash, which included kid Rock shooting cases 370 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 4: of bud Light and posting it online one of my 371 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 4: favorite moments from that haunts the company to this day. 372 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 4: And he went on to describe how bud Light was 373 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 4: pressured by outside interest groups like the Human Rights Campaign, 374 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 4: which more and more companies are now severing any ties with. 375 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: These are the way Way Way. 376 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 4: Left, LGBTQ plus minus over the power three of folks 377 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 4: who make you report all your statistics and publish your 378 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 4: trends rights manual, or else they will blackmail you and 379 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 4: bring you to ruin. But evidently they got pressure that 380 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 4: they gave into from groups like that, and he says 381 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 4: he couldn't believe it. It was authentically a brand that 382 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 4: was about sports and humor and bringing people together. It 383 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 4: never got involved in politicized issues, and Dylan mulveny was 384 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 4: the face of a lot of these very polarizing topics. 385 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 4: Where's there's one more really interesting part, oh, he said. 386 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 4: A convergence of outside factors pressured bud Light into embracing 387 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 4: an ever increasing rubric of DEI policies that ultimately led 388 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 4: to the disaster. He pointed to large asset managers like 389 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 4: Blackrock pressuring companies to adopt environmental, social and governance and 390 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 4: DEI policies. Because and I remember reading about this at 391 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 4: the time. I'm pretty sure I brought it up on 392 00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 4: the air at least once or twice. Those giant fund funds, 393 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 4: we're getting hardcore demands from progressive states like California and 394 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,719 Speaker 4: New York who were handling their pension funds. So the 395 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 4: progressives in California and New York and Europe to some extent, 396 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 4: we're saying to the giant investment companies, do you want 397 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 4: our three hundred billion dollars in assets under your management 398 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 4: with the fees, Well, then you have to institute these 399 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 4: ESG and DEI policies. 400 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 3: That's interesting Okay, so that's what drove the whole thing then, right, 401 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 3: And so then Blackrock was pressuring companies to do the same. 402 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 3: It's worth noting last month Blackrock told employees who were 403 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 3: shifting away from our DEI policies and ending most of them. 404 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 3: And the former executive also said that bud Light having 405 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 3: a European owner in beev caused it to lose sight 406 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 3: of the American values the brand had come to represent. 407 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 3: In his view, it's normal for business and government to 408 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 3: collude to influence social outcome in Europe, but that kind 409 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 3: of partnership was antithetical to bud Light's business values and 410 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 3: was alienating to its customers. In the US, they abide 411 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 3: by really different rules over in Europe. Europe is very 412 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 3: PROSG pro DEI on the continent. 413 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. 414 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 3: So if you start pressuring those big companies at the 415 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 3: top like we started doing for briefly, it filters down 416 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 3: like this. 417 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: Well, that's highly troubling. 418 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, And he said the only thing that he thinks 419 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 4: is going to cure bud Light's ills, And he said 420 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 4: the whole Shane Gillis and that Super Bowl ad with 421 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 4: the rapper post Malone, big men on the cul de Sac, 422 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 4: which was very amusing. 423 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 1: Everybody liked it. 424 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 4: But he said for bud Light to truly recover a 425 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 4: true apologies in order, and perhaps the company should even 426 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 4: consider leaving its European parent company and finding an American owner. 427 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 4: They have to say they screwed up and ask customers 428 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 4: for a second chance. I think they have actually, but yeah, 429 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 4: I mean if I bud Light's brand manager, I don't 430 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 4: know how the in BEV you know, corporate ladder looks, 431 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 4: but this would be a great not dodge but strategy. 432 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: Say hey, you. 433 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 4: Remember that whole crazy thing with that, you know one person. 434 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 4: We're owned by a European country and they are a 435 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 4: company rather and they made us do it. Well we're 436 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 4: American now and we're back bud Light and have kid 437 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 4: rock say hell yeah, check it out, you know, so whatever, 438 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 4: take it over the top. 439 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 3: I don't need apologies from my watery alcoholic beverages. 440 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: But hey, it cost them billions of dollars. Yeah, I know, 441 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: just I'm not demanding apology out here. 442 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 4: But every person on the board of directors on live 443 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 4: TV cuts off a finger as an apology. That way, 444 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 4: you know they're sincere was that Dylan mulvany again, pluck 445 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 4: out an Eyebichael. Oh that's a little far. 446 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 3: That's how much I care. One more stupid thing for 447 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 3: we have to take a break. This person was appointed 448 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 3: to the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel under Joe Biden. 449 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 3: Whatever that is, high Energy Physics Advisory. 450 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: Panel, but they was not invited to join that. 451 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 3: They had a lot of say in the Energy Department 452 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 3: about wacky green stuff while Biden was president. They were 453 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 3: a gender studies professor who once wrote white empiricism undermines Einstein. 454 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 3: Einstein's theory of relativity. So the whole theory of relativity thing, 455 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 3: it's it's it's white empiricism, so you can't you can't 456 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 3: buy it. One of the most important scientific breakthroughs in 457 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 3: the history of mankind. 458 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: A six panel. 459 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 3: And this person is a gender studies professor. Again, but 460 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 3: they're talking about the theory relativity and gender and then 461 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 3: they got put on an important board in the Energy Department. 462 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: None of it fits. 463 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 3: Together obviously, which just gives you an idea how how 464 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 3: to whack the whole thing was Joe Biden was a miserable, 465 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 3: terrible president. 466 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: How much did he know about this zero that right. 467 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: So that's which proves my point. But I see yours 468 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: as well. 469 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think Jake Tapper's book is probably going 470 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 3: to get to this. Books will be written that do 471 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 3: get to it. There was all kinds of stuff being 472 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 3: done all over the place that you could slip by 473 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 3: because the President was so out to. 474 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 4: Launch right right, And as we mentioned earlier in the show, 475 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 4: Donald J. Trump, the President just truthed out or tweeted 476 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 4: out that the pardons that sleepy Joe Biden gave to 477 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 4: you know, a lot of people are declared void, vacant, 478 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 4: and of no further force effect because they were done 479 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 4: by auto pen In other words, Joe Biden did not 480 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 4: sign them. More importantly, he did not know anything about them. 481 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 4: Will this be investigated because it is not a joke 482 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,239 Speaker 4: of an allegation to say, Hey, his advisors who are 483 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 4: secretly running the White House all got together and used 484 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 4: the power of the presidency without the President's knowledge to 485 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 4: pardon all their friends and cronies. 486 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 3: Which they might have done. Because lots of that sort 487 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 3: of stuff was going on. Jake Sullivan was freelancing, you know, 488 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 3: a lot of foreign policies because the President wasn't available 489 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 3: to talk with. I mean, it could have been such 490 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 3: the just so common in a bunch of different areas 491 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 3: there the last year or so, that you would have 492 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 3: felt comfortable doing this because lots of people were operating 493 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 3: on their own right. 494 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 4: I mean, it's very, very very believable to say, yeah, 495 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 4: we had a list of pardons, including all of our 496 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 4: buddies and cronies and hunters and the Biden family and 497 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 4: told him, mister President, these are the list of pardons, 498 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 4: very carefully veeaded by the Pardons Board. Just needed your 499 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 4: signature there, sir, and there. But they didn't even do that, 500 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 4: As Trump pointed out, they used the auto pen. 501 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: Is that what you call it? 502 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 3: I don't know how you'd investigate this without talking to 503 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 3: Joe Biden, and Joe Biden, I can only assume it's 504 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 3: in way worse condition now than he was a year 505 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 3: ago or the last time we heard when did we 506 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 3: last year from him? 507 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: When he left town and shouted at us.

God, we 511 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 3: were playing that for Joe Biden. How many years ago 512 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 3: during the twenty twenty election. 513 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 4: Yes, a twenty third team twenty Yeah, no horn swaggling. 514 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 3: Uh, poor old guys talking to somebody yesterday who's h 515 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 3: parent is fully into dementia and they're there, they're questioning, 516 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 3: you know, whether there's any point in going to visit 517 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 3: them or not anymore because they don't know they're being visited, 518 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 3: and just that sort of thing, you know. 519 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, heartbreaking and uh and. 520 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 3: You know that that's that's where Joe Biden is headed, 521 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 3: if he's not already there. 522 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's probably still semi coherent. But did you sign 523 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 4: an accident? 524 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 3: Did you sign all of those pardons and commutations? 525 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: How would he answer that question? He can't, No, so 526 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: it'll be difficult to prove it. 527 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 4: You're the only witness that really, really, really matters unless 528 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 4: you can get somebody to confess to the other half 529 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 4: of it. 530 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: But you never will. Yes, Michael, you need Biden. 531 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 7: Do you think we will ever find out in this 532 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 7: book or another book who is actually running the country 533 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 7: last year? 534 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: We will? 535 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 3: Someday, I doubt in this book someday we will. My 536 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 3: guess is that Jake Sullivan played a really big role 537 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 3: and Jill as people before me have pointed out she 538 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 3: is going to end up being the villain, the real 539 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 3: villain of this whole thing. 540 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 4: I wonder I suspect very strongly. The country was run 541 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 4: like a city council, and maybe one of those folks 542 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 4: acted as the de facto mayor. 543 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: But they would get together and. 544 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 4: Decide, yeah, all right, we'll do this, and we'll advise 545 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 4: the president to do that and make sure he does it. 546 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 4: And who knows, maybe he came in and out. Maybe 547 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 4: some days he acted like the president, but not all days. 548 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 3: No, definitely, not all days. There's no way all days 549 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 3: he was in charge of his faculties. As we all know, 550 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 3: we will finish strong next. 551 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 6: People still don't quite get it that when they do 552 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 6: a Google search, they're always revealing a lot about themselves. So, 553 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 6: for example, we got a hold of some of the 554 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 6: reasonings Zelenski's dress code for visiting White House. 555 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: We should have Travis Kelsey, How. 556 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 8: To break up with someone who won't take it well, Yeah, 557 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 8: Luigi Mangoni, Ways to look less pretty in prison? 558 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: Who's go. 559 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 3: Bill Maher also spent part of his show on HBO 560 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 3: Friday night talking about the Department of Education and how 561 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 3: it has failed and it maybe needs to go, and 562 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 3: how our public education system is broken, So appreciate that 563 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 3: from a Democrat. 564 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: This is sort of breaking news. 565 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer, leader of the Democrats in the Senate, had 566 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 3: a book tour because he's got a new book out, 567 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 3: and he has canceled it so far, at least his 568 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 3: first stops because of security concerns. They say, Schimmer's postponing 569 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 3: his book tour. Amit a major backlash from Democrats due 570 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 3: to his decision to join Republicans in passing the cr 571 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 3: they call it on Friday to avoid the government shutdown. 572 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 3: Mm hmm, So there you go. Continue to be in disarray, 573 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 3: those of you over there. I just pray Trump can 574 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 3: keep it between the rails. 575 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: Bangking and well, you know, everything goes in cycles. Anyway. 576 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 3: I've seen the Republicans down and out a number of times, 577 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 3: and it is down down number of times in my 578 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 3: adulthood where it seemed like you could never come back, 579 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 3: and both parties always do. 580 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: Usually you have to adjust your sales though. 581 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 4: Well, I was just going to say, generally speaking, those 582 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 4: turnarounds have been accompanied by recognizing what the problem is 583 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 4: and fixing it. Yeah, as opposed to doubling down on 584 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 4: what got you booted out of office. 585 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 3: So NBC had their polling come out yesterday, their political polling, 586 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 3: and they had Donald Trump with the highest approval rating 587 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 3: he has ever had an NBC polling, which is something. 588 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: Everything that you know, we all know the story, and the. 589 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 3: Democrats with the lowest approval rating they've had at a 590 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 3: party as a party ever. Right track, wrong track, more 591 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 3: Americans than they have seen in twenty years with the 592 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 3: right track, but Donald Trump, for the first time in 593 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 3: his political career upside down on the economy, with a 594 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 3: majority of Americans not digging his choices and or. 595 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 4: Rhetoric right right, which is significant because that's what he 596 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 4: ran on. That's what I was thinking of when I 597 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 4: was concerned about. You know, all we have to do 598 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 4: is not screw this up too badly, and conservatism should 599 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 4: be able to dominate for long enough to really right 600 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 4: some of the wrongs that have happened in recent years. 601 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 4: But well, I have to see, I'm certainly rooting for 602 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 4: it to all work out, but I'm a little nervous 603 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 4: like most of America. 604 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was reading from one of Trump's advisors who 605 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 3: was one on one of the talk shows Yesterdaylah Blah 606 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 3: blah oh, former CEO of Goldman Sachs Lloyd Blankfine. He said, 607 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 3: when you look at these economic policies from Trump in 608 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 3: a macro way, they have a method to them. The 609 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 3: risk to the markets is dislocation in the short term. 610 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 3: But I think our republic will be better off if 611 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 3: we spend a few thousand dollars more for a car 612 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 3: in return for having a workforce that can make things 613 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 3: and can afford what they make. It's easier to say 614 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 3: when you're a CEO of goldmand Sacks and very very wealthy, 615 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 3: and I don't know how the regular Joe lunchbox is 616 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 3: going to respond to paying a few thousand dollars more 617 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 3: or a few hundred dollars more for this or that. 618 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: M h. Well. 619 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 4: His idea is that after a perhaps rocky transitional period, 620 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 4: as he said, that, we'll live in a country where 621 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 4: people make things and they can afford to buy things 622 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 4: because they have good, solid jobs. 623 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: We'll see. 624 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 3: Hi, this is a. 625 00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 5: Corn pop when I'm not trying to get my a 626 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 5: rusty and rainbarrow. 627 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: I listened to final thoughts.
