WEBVTT - Check The Crotch 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Arm Strong 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:24.120 and Jettie, I know he Armstrong and Getty. I'm not 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.360 understating the complexity of all this. But as a candidate, 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.960 you said you would have this horse settled in twenty 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:30.800 four hours. 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.560 Well, I was being a little bit sarcastic when I 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.320 said that I would. What I really mean is I'd 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:42.040 like to get it settled, and I'll think I think 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:43.040 I'll be successful. 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.200 What's the plan If Putin doesn't agree to a cease fire? 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.760 Bad news for this world because so many people are dying. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.520 But I think he's going to agree. I really do. 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.959 I think I know him pretty well, and I think 0:00:58.960 --> 0:00:59.720 he's going to agree. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.640 Putin and Trump talking tomorrow, and that should be something. 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.640 How about that first part? This has been going on 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.399 since twenty fifteen. It's the old you know, take him 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:15.120 seriously or literally thing. Of course, he didn't mean he 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:19.479 could settle the Russian UKRAIND twenty four hours. No, No, 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.080 he just meant that he'll settle it. It's a high 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.600 priority and he can settle it quickly. I mean, I 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:27.200 don't know why he has to. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.520 I don't know either in this code, but it's an 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:30.920 easily decodable code. 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.320 Yeah yeah, I would say, yeah, So I'm not shocked 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.319 to that. But that was Cheryl Atkinson, who has a 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.679 I don't know, some odd channel I've never heard of 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:40.880 that she's on now and she used to be a 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.200 big star at CBS back in the day, and Trump 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:45.560 being old, decided to talk to her. 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.040 But on the whole Russia thing, Mike. 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.720 Wallas, who's the National Security Advisor, was on one of 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:57.280 the shows yesterday talking about the agreement and well, I'll 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:58.680 save my comments for after you hear this. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:01:59.960 Are we going to dry? 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.720 I have every Russian off of every inch of Ukrainian soil, 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.679 including Crimea. And what the strategy of the Biden administration 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.760 was was as long as it takes, as much as 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.040 it takes, no matter what the timeline is, which is 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:19.440 essentially endless warfare in an environment that we're literally losing 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.040 hundreds of thousands of people in a matter of months 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.480 and could escalate into World War three. So we can 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.680 talk about what's right and wrong, and we also have 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.480 to talk about the reality of the situation on the ground. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:36.280 And that's what we are doing through proximity talks, and 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.600 it astounds me how that is criticized. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.720 If you're a regular listener to the show orre you're 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.480 one of the new listeners of the show. With a 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.920 bunch of stations that were going on today, my personal 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.720 position is, I hate the idea that we're sending the 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.320 message to the world that if you decide to take 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.360 another country, you can get away with it, which I 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.680 think is the message it's going to be received. 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.840 As we are going to allow Putin to get away 0:02:59.840 --> 0:02:59.919 with it. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.639 But that cake has been baked, and it's it's interesting 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.640 that Biden gets credit for saying We're with you till 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.920 the end, till the very end, We'll stick with you 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.880 to the end, but not actually following through it anyway 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.880 that would have allowed Ukraine to win. 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.720 So how are you How are you actually going to 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.920 boot Russia out of that territory they took. 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.200 I wish, I wish that the free world would do that, 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.200 but Biden wasn't going to do that. 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.240 No, I think it's accurate to say that Trump is 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:36.480 doing I'm sorry, Trump is saying what Biden was doing, right. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:42.040 Yeah, and uh, and just deciding to rather than let 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:46.840 it drag on for years until you leave office. So 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.920 you get credit for saying we stuck with the democracy 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.120 till the end, until the end of my term anyway, 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.920 when you weren't actually doing it, and Trump's gonna wrap 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.440 it up again. Not my preferred outcome, but I just 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.000 think we're I think Trump's just with the reality that 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:01.880 already existed. 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.440 If I were a betting man, wait a minute, I 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.120 am a betting man. Since I am a betting man, 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:12.080 I am betting that after some sort of brief and 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.880 phony pause, Putin just continues doing what he'd hoped to do. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:22.000 He will not agree to NATO country peacekeepers on Ukrainian soil. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:27.240 Okay, So I agree with that. So then what is 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.839 the response from the Trump administration? 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.360 Then I don't have the slightest idea, I really do. 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.640 I'm not going to predict that Trump's attitude toward Russia 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.360 is completely mystifying to me. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.120 I don't know. I don't know either. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.320 I don't know how this phone call is going tomorrow. 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.960 I sure would like to hear him say something maging 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.680 abou about Putin at some point, as he is one 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.359 of the worst human beings on planet Earth. 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:55.960 So on a completely different topic, The most explosive revelations 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.799 from Jake Tapper's new book about Biden's decline, Oh Boy, 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:01.520 excerpts have been leaked. 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:09.360 I'm gonna read you one. It comes out when someday anytime. Now, Okay, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.159 I'm surprised that article doesn't include that. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:11.720 I would think that. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.640 Would be kid. I would have to look. My eyes 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.599 are very tired. I'll look it up while you're talking. 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.480 President Joe Biden sat hunched at the head of the table. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.120 He puzzled over his daily brief, now delivered in the 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.560 form of a sound book for toddlers. Quote A is 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:31.200 for afghan A A is for A is for Afghanistan. 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.159 It drove his aids crazy, but they knew the sacrifice 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.479 was worth it for the moment, at least this diminished 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.880 man they had taken a calling quote. The commander in 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.640 corpse would be too occupied to follow up on his 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.440 latest obsession, filming a. 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.119 Hot sex tape with doctor Jill. 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.400 Among the senior advisors, only a hunter had taken it seriously, 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.360 but the first son had other things on his mind. 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:50.719 Today. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.400 Now I feel like this might be a joke, but 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.320 I'm willing to stick out the rest of your reading. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.920 Dunkirk, Hunter said, slapping the table with authority. We can 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.480 do what they did in Dunkirk. He'd recently seen the 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.880 Christopher Nolan film. He explained, brilliant. The President replied, deis 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.240 for Dunkirk. Where's the Secretary of Defense? Nobody had seen 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.479 or heard from lawyer to Austin for nearly a month. 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.520 His designated proxy, Al Sharpton, was hosting a podcast in 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.200 the adjoining room. Jake Sullivan started to say something, but 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.720 Hunter cut him off. The first sun preceded outline. Is 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.720 planned to acquire a fleet of luxury speedboats from a 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.360 shake in Dubai. You owed him a favor. They could 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.280 be loaded with up with troops, then airlifted to Baku, 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.839 the capital of Azerbaijan. It's amazing, Hunter said, I know 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:37.799 a guy. You can get us into the best strip clubs. 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.640 You can tip in bitcoin. Sullivan laughed, mister President, we 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.960 covered this in the intelligence brief. He held up a 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:48.400 map of Central Asian pointed to Afghanistan. Al is for landlocked. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.200 Biden demanded to see the map, blew his nose in it, 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.839 and urged Sullivan to quote run it by Bow and 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.680 make sure the Soviets are on board. 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:03.000 Oh and there's a good deal more of this. 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.120 This is written by Andrew Styles, who works for the 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:07.800 Free Beacon. 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:09.440 These by Bow would. 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.880 Make sure the Soviets are on board. That's almost too much. 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.440 Andrew Styles is really really funny. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.520 You know what, Jack, I'm gonna read one more couple 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.400 of sentences because I know how much you'll like this. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.440 The first lady entered the small the room with a 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.640 small bowl of raspberry yogurt and a paper straw. Hunter 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.720 rushed out the door to the bathroom, fidgeting with his 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.120 leathered topkit. What's the worst that could happen, Jill said, 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.360 Joe is trying his best. If everyone in this room 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.360 tries their best, I'm sure it will all be fine. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:46.280 So the book comes out Thursday. I feel like I'm 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:54.200 gonna have to hate read that thing. It might be 0:07:54.440 --> 0:08:00.840 full of some really interesting nuggets about how off the 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.400 rails Biden was and we should all be highly disturbed 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.920 by it. With the backdrop of you're one of the 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:13.800 guys and networks that pretended this wasn't obviously true, so 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:20.880 with great enthusiasm. Yeah, so that's gonna be an interesting read, 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.640 but I'll probably go ahead and dig up some stuff 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:24.560 for you for Friday. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.360 I prefer Andrew Styles version of it. Frankly brought him. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:30.480 It's really funny. 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.040 Well, we'll put this, we'll repost this, post this at 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.800 hot links at Armstrong and getty dot com. 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:37.000 Very funny. 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.080 Well, let me let me read the blurb in the 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.000 Amazon about the book. So, the book from Jake Tapper 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:46.760 and Alex Thompson is called Original Sin President Biden's Decline. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.440 It's cover up, It's how do you? How can you 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:53.960 even have cover up in the title? When you were 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:54.720 part of it. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.160 You were the only one the rest of us knew, Jake, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.800 We were talking about it all the time, and you. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.400 Yelled at us for talking about eighty percent of the 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:07.120 country knew, right, and that includes a. 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.080 Lot of Democrats. But anyway, here's the blurb. 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.319 From two of America's most respected journalists in unflinching and 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.920 explosive reckoning with one of the most faithful decisions in 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:22.000 American political history, Joe Biden's run for reelection despite evidence 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.480 of a serious decline, amid desperate efforts to hide the 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:30.880 extent of that deterioration which we participated in. I put 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:31.720 in that last part. 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.400 Yeah, it's just so weird. I can't get past the 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.280 shamelessness of it. Sorry. 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.760 Now the full, unsettling truth is being told for the 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.360 first time. Jake Tapper and Alec Thompson takes us behind 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.840 closed doors and into private conversations between the heaviest of hitters, 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.440 revealing how big the problem was and how many people 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.360 knew about it, from White House staffers at the highest 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.760 levels to the lowest levels, to leaders of Congress and 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.040 the cabinet, from governor's to donors and Hollywood players. The 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.960 truth is finally being told. I gotta read this, and 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.320 I'm sure there'll be some really interesting stuff in it 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:13.120 that I'll have Friday, But again, a little hard to take. 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.280 Yeah, these people are not gonna talk to I don't know, 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.240 Charles Cook from the National Review or whatever, but they 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.920 would talk to Jake and finally spill the beam. 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.000 How did I handle it? 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.400 So he'll almost certainly be on a bunch of the 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.280 Sunday morning shows, maybe even sixty minutes. This might be 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.920 a big enough one that the big debut interview is 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.920 on sixty minutes. How are they gonna handle that.

I don't know. Rapper lul YACHTI, 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.679 my son was so jazzed because Playboy Cardi dropped a 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.440 new album on Friday and he and all his friends 0:13:58.440 --> 0:13:59.400 were so into it. 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.560 And then play with card he's a really big deal 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:06.240 and called buffering to break down or ever. But I 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.040 don't know lul YACHTI. But anyway, loul YACHTI got a 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.720 lot of like yacht like. He owns a yacht like 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:13.280 the boats. 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.160 Yeah, just like the boat. That's why it's about okayl 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.960 YACHTI said. Black Lives Matter is a total shady scam. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.440 The hip hop Sensation recently said in a YouTube interview 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.720 that the neo Marxist terror group Black Lives Matter is 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.480 a scam terror group. The New York Post throw in, 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.560 I've never referred to them as a terror group, although 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.680 well they sponsored riots. I suppose that's accurate. 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:38.240 Uh. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.720 And obviously Liul YACHTI saying that it wasn't very popular. 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:47.440 He's a black gentleman. He said BLM was literally a scam, 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.640 citing facts that its leadership had bought mansions using the 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.720 tens of millions donated to the anti Semitic, anti white, 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.040 anti American syndicate. 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:56.520 Well, he's right. 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.520 About that, So I think every word of that couple 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:00.800 of sentence this is correct. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.360 Yeah, different thing, different people. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.200 Maybe you saw the vandal who threw molotov cocktails at 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.720 Tesla's at the dealership the other day was is trans 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:17.560 forty two year old transgender woman it says here calls 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:22.000 herself baby in our online persona. So not a crazy 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.520 person at all. It's just a mentally illd person needing 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:31.920 to lash out at something and chose Tesla. And this 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.240 is a burbling story out there that some of you 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.720 may be aware of the idea that Michelle Obama is 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:43.560 a man and and Francis President Macrone's wife is a man. Also, 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.040 where did that come from? So I was looking at 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:52.040 the BBC. Two women guilty of slandering Bridget Macrone. This 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:56.720 started about a year ago. Two French women claimed that 0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:00.440 the country's first lady there in France, Bridget Macrone, was 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:06.360 a dude who had gone transgender. They've been found guilty 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.240 of slander because France is one of those countries practically 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.920 every country but the United States, you can't say anything 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:16.400 you want about politicians. Anyway, These two people broadcast what 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:21.160 it says here unsubstantiated rumors online that Bridget had never existed, 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.520 that her brother Jean Michael, had changed gender and started 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.920 using the name Bridget. So there was a son in 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.440 the family that at some point was grooming. You know, 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:34.960 there's a twenty five year age gap. You know the 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.240 whole story with President Macron. He was a kid in 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:41.800 school and it was this teacher that got with him 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.880 who he ended up with marrying. Yeah, so it was 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:50.080 a gay man grooming President Macrone, who then changed to 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:51.000 woman because. 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.040 That would be easier or better for his political career. 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:53.520 I don't know what. 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.400 But anyway, so that that started with a couple of 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.680 women in France who have been found guilty of slander. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.640 What was the procedure of I mean, because truth is 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.080 an absolute defense against slander, at least in this country. 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.439 Did they give her the check or what? 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.040 I don't think they uh yeah, checked the crotch. I 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:12.840 don't think they did that. 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.760 No justice, Armstrong and Geddy. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.320 I remember, for a cup of coffee, Irish dancing was 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:25.040 all the rage, share Michael Flatley, right. 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.960 That was the deal man. People would go to a packed. 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:33.200 Auditorium to watch some Irish dancing. You remember when guys 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.880 pretending to be girls was all the rage. They called 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.040 it transgenderism. 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.240 Jack, We're not gonna. 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:43.719 Stare at the crotches while they're wearing their little shopping shorts. 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:44.520 At the mall. 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:48.959 I don't give anything away. I'm only halfway through her 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.360 autobiography that came out last week. 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:59.840 That was the mentally ill Dylan Mulvaney a click back 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:04.399 in the day. This is interesting. It took a little 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:10.800 longer than the Biden administration turning informer and calling Jake 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.600 Tapper on the phone. But the whole hiring Dylan mulvaney 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:19.280 to be a bud Light partner or whatever unofficial spokesperson thing. 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:23.520 People are starting to talk now and a former Anheuser 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:31.879 Busch executive talked to Fox Business recently saying that decision 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.080 was not authentic at all. The problem with the bud 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:38.119 Light Dylan mulvaney partnership was they were just not an 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:41.720 authentic partnership. They were catering to a lot of special interests, 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.879 and he told Fox News he realized he needed to 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.960 leave the company when DEI was preventing the brand from 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.199 what should have been a no brainer business decision, like 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:57.600 partnering with veteran owned Black Rifle Coffee. I joined a 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.919 company that I thought was a great meritocracy and then 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.880 I saw the company really change, especially after twenty twenty 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.359 twenty one, when the DEI movement was really gaining steam, 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:12.040 he said, so the company said no to black Rifle Coffee, 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:17.159 but yes to trends influencer Dylan mulvaney. 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.399 One thing I will not tolerate people saying about me 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:21.920 is that I don't like beer, because I love beer 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:22.920 and I always. 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:26.119 Have well, Black Lifel Coffee almost got folded into the 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:27.520 Budweiser world that would have been. 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:29.960 It doesn't say specifically what sort of partnership would be, 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:34.160 but the ensuing backlash, which included kid Rock shooting cases 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.720 of bud Light and posting it online one of my 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.440 favorite moments from that haunts the company to this day. 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:41.919 And he went on to describe how bud Light was 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:46.080 pressured by outside interest groups like the Human Rights Campaign, 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.879 which more and more companies are now severing any ties with. 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.119 These are the way Way Way. 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:56.560 Left, LGBTQ plus minus over the power three of folks 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:00.960 who make you report all your statistics and publish your 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.480 trends rights manual, or else they will blackmail you and 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:09.800 bring you to ruin. But evidently they got pressure that 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:13.760 they gave into from groups like that, and he says 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.520 he couldn't believe it. It was authentically a brand that 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.159 was about sports and humor and bringing people together. It 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.359 never got involved in politicized issues, and Dylan mulveny was 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.240 the face of a lot of these very polarizing topics. 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:32.800 Where's there's one more really interesting part, oh, he said. 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.520 A convergence of outside factors pressured bud Light into embracing 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:40.400 an ever increasing rubric of DEI policies that ultimately led 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:44.199 to the disaster. He pointed to large asset managers like 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:49.399 Blackrock pressuring companies to adopt environmental, social and governance and 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:54.040 DEI policies. Because and I remember reading about this at 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:55.440 the time. I'm pretty sure I brought it up on 0:20:55.480 --> 0:21:00.400 the air at least once or twice. Those giant fund funds, 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:05.199 we're getting hardcore demands from progressive states like California and 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:10.719 New York who were handling their pension funds. So the 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:14.399 progressives in California and New York and Europe to some extent, 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:18.040 we're saying to the giant investment companies, do you want 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:22.200 our three hundred billion dollars in assets under your management 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.720 with the fees, Well, then you have to institute these 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:27.960 ESG and DEI policies. 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:32.280 That's interesting Okay, so that's what drove the whole thing then, right, 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:37.359
