1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: Jettie and he Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 2: So I see some people on Fox with ashes on 5 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: their forehead. It is as it is ash Wednesday, and 6 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: Fox is a religion approving network. You won't see that 7 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,959 Speaker 2: on any other channels probably, but it is ash Wednesday, 8 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: and I am I'm not Catholic. I've always admired Lent 9 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 2: has an idea. As a kid, I thought it was lent, 10 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 2: but that is what is in your belly button and 11 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: or dryer vent lent, the whole giving up something for lent. 12 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 2: When I was a kid, I had lots of Catholic friends. 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: All all the private Catholic school kids rode the same 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: buss me to school and then they'd get off at 15 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: Saint Joseph. I'd go to the public school the second 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: or public school. But anyway, they were into the whole 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: Lent thing and what they would give up, and it 18 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: just always seemed like a good idea to me. It's 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 2: kind of like a New Year's resolution, but it's just 20 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: I think a little more you stick to it. A 21 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: little closer. Yes, Kate, I think it's an outstanding idea. 22 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: I'm Catholic. 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 3: In one year I made the joke that I was 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 3: giving up lent for Lent, and the priest did not appreciate. 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: It, didn't think it was funny. Heard they he'd heard 26 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: that one before. That's the are you giving anything? Are 27 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 2: you a lapse Catholic? Or are you giving up something 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: for lent? This camera. No, I'm not giving up anything. Okay, exercise, 29 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 2: that's what I'm giving up. I'm sorry, it's I'm. 30 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 4: Mocking and truly wise sacred and ancient tradition of making 31 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 4: a sacrifice. 32 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: And I apologize, but because it is what goes along 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: with lent in this week is always fat. Two day 34 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: in Marti Gras happening in New Orleans, and I just 35 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: saw some Marti Gras revelers down there. Cyber truck had 36 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: pulled up on the street and there was a tremendous 37 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: amount of booing going on, and I just thought that 38 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: was interesting that that is like seen as an I 39 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: was going to say a vehicle, but it's actually a vehicle, 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: so using it as a here's the sound the crown 41 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: going a cyber truck pulling truck while the music pulsates 42 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: in the background, women are showing their boobs for meads. 43 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: Yet it's still time to do the leader of doge 44 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: because you hate cutbacks and spending. 45 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 4: I just don't get it. Wasteful spending, idiotic spending. That's 46 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: just tribal signaling. Ooga boga, don't care. Yeah, speaking of 47 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: that sort of thing. Oh, Michael, are you giving up 48 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 4: playing chest for LNT? I am, yes, no more chadulis so. 49 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 4: One of the themes that the President struck in his 50 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 4: speech last night was getting rid of a bunch of 51 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 4: woke crap and transgender this and that, which I thought 52 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 4: was terrific. And we'll play some highlights in I don't know, 53 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 4: twenty minutes, half an hour or something like that. But 54 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 4: I thought a couple of things were very interesting, one 55 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 4: more newsy and one more philosophical. But first of all 56 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 4: the newsy thing. For the last decade, the establishment media 57 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: have touted advocates claims as fact that we have roughly 58 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 4: fifteen thousand transgender people serving in the US military. If 59 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 4: you're not familiar with the term, it means a person 60 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 4: of one sex pretending to be the other. 61 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: Sex Wow, and over and over again. 62 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 4: I've heard the fifteen thousand numbers and thought, damn, that's 63 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 4: a lot. I know, yeah, I was. I didn't either, 64 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: but I had no idea what to think. But this 65 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 4: week President Donald Trump's Pentagon revealed that the number is 66 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 4: about forty two hundred service members, which is still a 67 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 4: hell of a lot, but it's just over one quarter 68 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: of what they were claiming. This adds up to one 69 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 4: transgender person for every five hundred service members in a 70 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 4: military of two point one million active in reserve members. 71 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: I am surprised that it is that many, and I'd 72 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: be curious as to what is going on psychosocially that would. 73 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: That would cause that. I mean, you talk about ridiculous tribalism. 74 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: I came across Bill Crystal's tweet last night. Most of 75 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: you don't know who he is. He used to be 76 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: one of my favorite pundits. He is a hardcore conservative, 77 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: like in the classic style. His dad, Irving Crystal, founded 78 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: I think the Weekly Standard, one of the great writers 79 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: of conservatism, and Bill Crystal carried that on and then 80 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: Bill Crystal hated it, called Berry Goldwater a moderate. Bill Crystal, 81 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: who used to be on you know, like meet the 82 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: press and face a nation and arguing for conservatives all 83 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 2: these years. He hated Trump so much he went over 84 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: with the people that formed the Bulwark, and they have 85 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: become a grift machine. And they've just figured out that 86 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: if they say bad things about Republicans that they can 87 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 2: make a lot of money. And this is what Bill 88 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: Crystal tweeted out last night. Stand with trans Americans. You 89 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 2: don't have to understand everything about the transgender experience to 90 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 2: know that Trump's act of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust 91 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: and dangerous. You've lost your mind just because he hasn't 92 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: lost his mind. He's become so cynical. He just thinks, 93 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: you know what, it's all a game anyway, screw it. 94 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: There are enough of these people out there. If I 95 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 2: take this angle, they'll continue to, you know, donate money 96 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: to us and read our stuff and give us clicks, 97 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 2: and I'll make it look whatever. 98 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I give them the converts. Everybody wants to celebrate 99 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 4: the converts. 100 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yeah, wow, that is some cynical crack. 101 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 4: So, speaking of which, those of us who aren't cynical 102 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 4: have looked at the world around us, and I think 103 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 4: a lot of you probably understand that the hardcore activists 104 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 4: in the woke thing are neo Marxists, and the woke 105 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 4: thing is just an excuse to say, you're in charge 106 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: of this institution, but you're a racist, and I can 107 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 4: prove it with my anti racist theories, and obviously we 108 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 4: can't have a racist in charge, so now I'm in charge. 109 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 4: It's a method of conquest. It takes over institutions, be 110 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 4: they you know, schools or government departments or whatever. We 111 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 4: get the hardcore doing that, the people who want to 112 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 4: be nice people and they go along with it. This 113 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: is the useful idiots, and they are legion in their numbers, 114 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 4: and often it's young people because young people are easy 115 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 4: to indoctrinate. 116 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: The problem with that term is that Lenin's term, I 117 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: think it is. Yeah, John Lennon, no v I Lenin. 118 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 2: The problem with that term is that it's obviously quite insulting. 119 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: It's not a good way to explained to someone that 120 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: they maybe are being used for a purpose that they 121 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: do not agree with. If you call them an idiot, right, 122 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: you know, you make a good point. 123 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 4: Let's go with useful morons instead useful halfways. No, it's 124 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 4: it's actually one of the better impulses in humankind, which 125 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 4: is what I'm leading toward. 126 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: It's long been known that. 127 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 4: All the intelligence agencies and governments of the world are 128 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 4: interested in influencing people to believe certain things to support 129 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 4: certain programs or certain governments. I mean, that's that's obvious, right, Propaganda, 130 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 4: the Hitler Youth, to the Malte Tongue and his Red Guard, 131 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 4: just all sorts of programs like that. And a guy 132 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 4: who's been studying this his whole life, his name is 133 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: a Jason Christoff, and he did a presentation recently that 134 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 4: was hosted by Senator Ron Johnson speaking of rock ribbed Conservatives, 135 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 4: and he explained how mine control it is easy to 136 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: execute because human beings are essentially walking psyops. He said 137 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 4: he quote he said, Mimetic programming, which is the process 138 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 4: of having someone learned to imitate patterns and behaviors, is 139 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 4: routinely used in Hollywood films and by powerful corporations and governments. 140 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: Quote. Mind control works on the subconscious, and the subconscious 141 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: is something that loves us and wants to protect us. 142 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 4: And it's in the realm of activity, similar to your 143 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 4: heart beating. So there are things you understand as a 144 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 4: human being that you're not in control of their instinctive. 145 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 4: Your subconscious mind is always looking to establish what the 146 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 4: bigger group of humans is doing, and so it is 147 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 4: responsive to repetitive content. 148 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: Simply put, people are. 149 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 4: Always looking to learn what a larger group is doing 150 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 4: and fit in, meaning that repeated messages can be enormously powerful. 151 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 4: You know, obviously we're just talking about conformity. 152 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 2: Here all but all sales organizations know this sure, quoting 153 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: again from mister Christoff. 154 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 4: The reason the subconscious does this is because it knows 155 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 4: that most humans like other humans who act, talk, and 156 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 4: think like they do. And all the subconscious know, and 157 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 4: all your subconscious know that it's safer to bond with 158 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 4: a bigger group. To break this mind control technique down further, 159 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 4: your subconscious automatically absorbs repetitive content and forces people to 160 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 4: adopt ideas as their own. Your reptile brain is telling 161 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 4: you you decided this on your own, to go along 162 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 4: with the crowd, because, for whatever reason, that what works 163 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 4: better with humans. It's more adaptive. As they say in anthropology, 164 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 4: that's why. 165 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: For example, do any of my beliefs come from my 166 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: own thinking? Or is this all just because I was 167 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 2: surrounded by it. 168 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 4: I think sometimes the best you can do is be 169 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 4: intellectually honest and examine your beliefs and test them now 170 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 4: and again and try the other ideas. But anyway, that's 171 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 4: a great other topic. 172 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: What time is it? Yeah, we're good, blah blah blah. 173 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 4: This is why, for example, at a party where there's 174 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 4: a lot of alcohol being served and consumed, people can 175 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 4: feel nervous saying no when offered a drink. Quote, if 176 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 4: you dare say no in opposition of the most repetitive content, 177 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 4: your nervous system will make you feel extremely uneasy and 178 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 4: full of anxiety, and it will also reward you for 179 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: going along with it, putting your neurology at peace and 180 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 4: calm in the feeling of calmness. 181 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: That's so, there's more to peer pressure than meets the eye. 182 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 4: Right, exactly, It's not weakness, it's it's anthropologically adaptive. The 183 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 4: problem is, you know, unless you're an alcoholic, you're going 184 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 4: to be fine having a drink, or unless somebody is 185 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 4: trying to feed your roofy and rape you or something 186 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 4: like that, you're fine Bill Cosby's house or oh right, exactly. 187 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 4: In short, but if there is an insidious group bent 188 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 4: on evil utilizing these truths intentionally and aggressively, you get 189 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 4: an entire generation of young people walking around saying it's 190 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 4: not wrong to have a man in a woman's sport, 191 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 4: even though he whoops the hell out of the women 192 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 4: and takes all the titles. It's not wrong to have 193 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 4: a man in a women's prison because that man says 194 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 4: he's a woman. They come up with an idea as 195 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 4: ludicrous is that a man who says. 196 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: He's a woman is actually a woman. And then certainly 197 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: things that are easier to go for. I won't say 198 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 2: fall four like hearing about climate change every class you're 199 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 2: ever in your whole life, right. 200 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 4: Christoph actually touched on the COVID nineteen pandemic in the response. 201 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,599 Speaker 4: He said, media let's push highly similar similar narratives to 202 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 4: quote unquote control people, influencing them to stay at home. 203 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 4: Mind control is the basis of all advertising, and the 204 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 4: governments have been proven to be using the same group 205 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 4: dynamic application against the public. He pointed to examples such 206 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 4: as the UK's Behavioral Insights Team, informally known is the 207 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 4: Nudge Unit. 208 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of this? 209 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 4: No it's a former government organization now run by a charity, 210 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 4: which uses behavioral insights to change people's behavior, for example, 211 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 4: by changing messaging to make people more likely to pay 212 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 4: their taxes on time. 213 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 2: Wow. 214 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 4: Christoff believes such tactics have been used to drive social 215 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 4: changes for decades, with depictions of large nuclear families on 216 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 4: screen diminishing since the nineteen fifties in favor of less 217 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 4: conventional families with fewer children, among other things. And corporations 218 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 4: use similar strategies. 219 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 2: But we're running out of time. But you get the idea. 220 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 4: And I've often said, you don't need to do what 221 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 4: the culture is doing because a lot of that is 222 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 4: designed by people who do not have your best interests 223 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 4: in mind. So maybe the only great takeaway from this 224 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 4: is if you find yourself wanting to conform, understand that 225 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 4: that is your animal brain being used, often by evil 226 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 4: people to try to get you to behave in a 227 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 4: certain way. 228 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 2: That's really interesting stuff. I have many thoughts about that. 229 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 2: We need to take a break though. More on the way. 230 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 5: Domino's Pizza has launched the chain's first stuffed crust pizza, 231 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 5: and it might be a big seller because apparently it's 232 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 5: stuffed with better pizza. 233 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: I like the sound of stuffed crust pizza, but I've 234 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 2: not had any that I liked. It's just too much. 235 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I liked it because you could dip it 236 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 4: in sauce and it was kind of like, it's fine. 237 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 4: I mean, it's rearranging the ingredients. So what to each 238 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 4: their own. If you enjoy a stuffed crust, friends, eat 239 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 4: it with our blessing. 240 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: So I've seen a lot of videos popping up over 241 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 2: the last several weeks of Saturday Night Live stars, and 242 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 2: I guess that's around the fact that they had the 243 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: fiftieth anniversary show when they were all there, or they 244 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 2: have projects, or they're back in the news. I don't 245 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 2: know why, but I've seen lots of different stuff popping 246 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: up in interviews and stuff like that. Bill Murray was 247 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 2: on a podcast the other day. He was part of 248 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: the original crew when Saturay and Life started. She's fifty 249 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: years ago. He's an old man now, but a famous actor, 250 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 2: and he was friends with John Belushi. John Belushi among 251 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: the biggest stars to ever come out at Saturday Night Live. 252 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: But if you're old enough to remember, he died quite 253 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: young because he got kind of into the party lifestyle 254 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: and that did him in was the cause of death. 255 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: That's pitball, did two America and cocaine, yeah odeed. Any who, 256 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: there was a book about John Belushi written by Bob Woodward. 257 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 2: Of all the topics for Bob Woodward to take on, 258 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 2: he wrote a boo called Wired about John Belushi's demise, 259 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: and Bill Murray was on a podcast talking about that book. 260 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 6: When I read Wired, the book written by what's his 261 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 6: name Woodward about Belushi, I read like five pages of Wired, 262 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 6: and I went, oh my god. 263 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: They framed Nixon like. 264 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 6: All of a sudden, I went, oh my god, if 265 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 6: this is what he writes about my friend that I've known, 266 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 6: you know, for you know, half my adult life, which 267 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 6: is completely inaccurate. Talking to like the people of the 268 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 6: outer outer circle getting the story, what the hell did 269 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 6: they could they have done to Nixon? I just felt like, 270 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 6: if he did this to my friend like this, and 271 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 6: I acknowledge only read five pages, but the five pages 272 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 6: I read, you know, made me want to like set 273 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 6: fire to the whole thing. If you get five pages, 274 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 6: I went, if they if he did this to Belushi, 275 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 6: what he. 276 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 7: Did in Nixon's is probably soiled for me too. I 277 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 7: can't I can't take it. And I know you say, well, 278 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 7: you can have two sources and everything like that, but 279 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 7: the two sources that he had, if he had them 280 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 7: for the Wired book, were so far outside the inner 281 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 7: circle that it was criminal. 282 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: I fraught. That was really interesting. 283 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 4: I read every time you bring up Bob Woodward and 284 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 4: his books, and he's done some brilliant reporting and he's 285 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 4: crazy smart guy. But I think of a long article 286 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: I read about Wired that was one of the most 287 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 4: convincing and brutal indictments of a journalist I've ever heard. 288 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 4: He would report on a something that happened, brought to 289 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 4: him by like an outer outer, outer ring person, and 290 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 4: wildly misinterpret what happened and why it happened, to the 291 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 4: point that the people who were there and participating in 292 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 4: it thought, this is fiction. 293 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 2: Do you think this was a cash grab about something 294 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: that wasn't important enough for him to care about getting 295 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: the fact straight? Or I have no idea. 296 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 4: I wish we had time to elaborate a little bit, 297 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 4: maybe next half hour. 298 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: That's pretty interesting though.

Not to account? Not for good. 314 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: JD was highly amused by many of Trolle's comments. Yes 315 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 2: he was, he was. 316 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 4: Indeed, he touched on a lot of the DEI and 317 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 4: protecting women's sports stuff that I absolutely loved. 318 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 2: This was pretty good to fifty six. 319 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 8: As you've heard me say many times, we have more 320 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 8: liquid gold under our feet than any nation on earth, 321 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 8: and by far, and now I fully authorized the most 322 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 8: talented team ever assembled to go and get it. 323 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: It's called drill, Baby drill. And the Democrats are against that, 324 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: I guess because they don't like fossil fuels. 325 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 4: Right right, right, And they're also against this, bizarrely enough, 326 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 4: Clip sixty four place. 327 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 8: So while we take out the criminals, killers, traffickers, and 328 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 8: child predators who are allowed to enter our country under 329 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 8: the open border policy of these people, the Democrats, the 330 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 8: Biden administration, the open border insane policies that you've allowed 331 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 8: to destroy our country, we will now bring in brilliant, 332 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 8: hard working, job creating people.

The United States has sent hundreds of billions 341 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 8: of dollars to support Ukraine's defense, with no security, with 342 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 8: no anything. 343 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: Do you want to keep it going for another five years? 344 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you would say, Pocahonta says yes. 345 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: He'd called Elizabeth worn Pokahontas from the podium in the 346 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 2: in the capital. PoCA Hunta says, yes, yeah, I know 347 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: something else was that racist. I don't care. Well the 348 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 2: number of people have said it's racist to Charlie C. 349 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 2: Cook of National Review pointed out, the comment is about 350 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 2: the fact that she lied about being an Indian, right 351 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: so that she could be the first person of color 352 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 2: in Harvard or something like that. The comment is not 353 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 2: about Polkahontas or Indians or anything like that. It's about 354 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 2: the fact that she lied about it. Says, Yes, the. 355 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 4: People who are claiming offense know that, but right, no, 356 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 4: they can weaponize I and I know this. 357 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 2: Is getting sidetracked from what we were talking about. I 358 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: just don't get the strategy on the whole Ukraine thing. 359 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: I just don't get it. So many Ukrainians have done 360 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 2: what were they supposed to do, not fight the Russians. 361 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 2: I don't get it. 362 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's just talking about from this moment forward. 363 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 4: I don't get it either in full. But yeah, I 364 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 4: mean I would like him to say so many Ukrainians 365 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 4: and Russians have died unnecessarily because Vladimir Putin wants to 366 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 4: rebuild the so Via Empire, right. 367 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. I wish I remembered which pundit I saw yesterday, 368 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 2: some pundit or journalists, I think, who said, I've checked 369 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 2: in with many conservative foreign policy experts and have yet 370 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 2: to come across anybody who quite understands what the strategy 371 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 2: is here. Yeah, yeah, I would agree. I'm a little 372 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: mystified myself. 373 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 4: But Trump's negotiating strategy, how he lays the groundwork for 374 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 4: doing deals sometimes strikes me as chaotic and incomprehensible. And then, 375 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 4: like the Panama Canal situation that we talked about earlier, 376 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 4: it works out fine. I never would have gone about 377 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 4: it that way, but the results. 378 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 2: Okay. Now, so he read from what a letter or 379 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: a tweet or whatever from Zelensky last night, and the 380 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 2: Zelensky is ready to do the deal and re meet, 381 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: and I assume he'll show up in a suit and 382 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: shave and do all the things that Trump wants him 383 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 2: to do. And then and then you still requires the 384 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 2: other side to stop trying to kill you. Is putting 385 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: on board fat while they're on the front foot. 386 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 4: I mean not by much, but you know, they're making 387 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 4: inch by inch progress while slaughtering many thousands of young 388 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 4: men of various ethnicity. 389 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 2: They're making an inch by inch progress. When we were 390 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 2: supporting Ukraine, we've just said we're not gonna support them anymore. 391 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 2: So if I'm rushing, I think, okay, cool, Yeah, No, 392 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 2: we're not coming to the table. Absolutely not. 393 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 4: Or we will come to the table, but continue fighting 394 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 4: and pretending to negotiate. But I wanted to squeeze this 395 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 4: in if we can. Unless you have more of substance, 396 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 4: that's fine. I'm pro substance. I just don't like substance abuse. 397 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: I'm on the tail end of the flu, so I'm 398 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 2: barely hanging on anyway. I got one. Well, grab a seat. 399 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: You're gonna like this. 400 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 4: None other than Ethan Ham, the great brave whistle blowing 401 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 4: doctor from Texas who blew the whistle on the Texas 402 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 4: Children's Hospital that was continuing to perform cruel experimentals sex 403 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 4: change surgery on confused children even after Texas had outlawed it. 404 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 4: He was invited as a guest to the not the 405 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 4: State of the Union State of the Union address last night, 406 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 4: and he made some really interesting comments in a Twitter 407 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 4: thread about how the Democrats refused to applaud anything, including 408 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 4: stuff that ought to be universally popular appoint Trump made. Actually, 409 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 4: that was one of the more powerful moments of the speech. 410 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 4: But then he said beyond the applause. There are a 411 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 4: few other notable observations. After al Green started yelling and 412 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 4: shaking his cane at Trump, the first person security approached 413 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 4: was not Green but Nancy Pelosi, almost like she was 414 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 4: the pit boss for the DEM's side. I could tell 415 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 4: she was not pleased, since she didn't even turn her 416 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 4: head toward the security guard. This would have required Pelosi 417 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 4: to look towards her right side, which was the direction 418 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 4: where Green was embarrassing himself in front of the country. 419 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 4: Not really surprised by her reaction since this would have 420 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 4: compounded the collective sense of defeat on the Democrat side 421 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,479 Speaker 4: of the chamber. 422 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: Why by admitting that she's act sally the most powerful 423 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 2: person and not the current leader or I'm not sure. 424 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 4: I had a very perceptive question slash comment there. I 425 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 4: wasn't sure precisely what he meant by that. 426 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: Because she's just an eighty year old representative from northern 427 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 2: California at this point. 428 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 4: What she supposed to do again an incredibly safe district. Yeah, 429 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 4: I thought that was interesting on that level, but there 430 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 4: was absolutely a thick sense of defeat that was unmistakable 431 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 4: as you watched it anyway. 432 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 2: So I'll jump in with this before you finished that. 433 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 2: So I was watching Mark Halprin's zoom call last night, 434 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: and I don't remember the name of the Democrat he 435 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 2: has on with him all the time. Seems like a 436 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: really nice guy, really like hardcore Democrat, but not woke. 437 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: So he's very unhappy that a lot of stuff Democrats do. AnyWho, 438 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 2: he said, you have no idea how enraged the Democratic 439 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 2: base is currently combination of defeated and enraged feeling that 440 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party is not fighting, is not doing anything, 441 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 2: is just rolling over. So some of the dumb ideas 442 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 2: they came up with last night with the signs and 443 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 2: we won't stand for anything, is just an attempt to 444 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 2: show them that they were trying to do something, but 445 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 2: they got no good answers. There's no real reasons. Nobody 446 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: is emerged as like the leader, like the voice of 447 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: the party. 448 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 4: Right and all reciting that silly you're gonna hear s 449 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 4: that isn't true. That was written in all the dozens 450 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 4: of you know government Lackey's repeated. But anyway, I believe that. 451 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 4: So back to Ethan Ham, he said, well, the cameras 452 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 4: were focused on the characters on the chamber floor, they 453 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 4: missed the ones in the gallery, like the young woman 454 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 4: Caddy corner to my left. It looked like she was 455 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 4: dressed in sweats and was fully passed out for the 456 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 4: entire speech, And it didn't seem like this was an 457 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 4: act of protester defiance, but that she was actually sleeping, 458 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 4: working her way through multiple ram cycles. She even used 459 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 4: the tight seating in the gallery to her benefit, ying 460 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 4: on her neighbor's shoulders and arms to achieve the most 461 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 4: comfortable position possible for an extended tiger snooze. 462 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 2: At one point I thought she. 463 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 4: Was snoring, Unfortunately I was too far away to obtain 464 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 4: audible verification. 465 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 2: How are you connected enough to be in that hall, 466 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 2: but so disinterested you sleep through the whole thing. 467 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 4: Then there was a young guy with a voluminous shoulder 468 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 4: length mullet, a Lieutenant Dan esque military jacket, and blue jeans. 469 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 4: One of the guys sitting next to me said it 470 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 4: was likely one of Peter Thield's famous tech prodigies. Probably 471 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 4: top three coolest people in the room I am in. 472 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 4: Then there was the entire row of mainstream media journalists, 473 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 4: about a dozen or so directly behind Trump in the 474 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 4: gallery got to mean the Trump family Millennia. What made 475 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 4: this stand out was that they all had the same 476 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 4: gray MacBook, which formed a wall of Apple logos. 477 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 2: It was too. 478 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 4: Symbolic for the current moments in American history. The irony 479 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 4: was almost too much, given the viral video earlier that day, 480 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 4: which showed over twenty day Democratic senators reading the same 481 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 4: script using the same microphone, producing one of the most 482 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 4: cringeworthy displays of shameless and often inticity. 483 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 2: I can remember we have that, absolutely true. I haven't 484 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 2: heard that. Yeah, I was looking for that on the list. 485 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 2: Where is that? Go ahead and roll it. I don't 486 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 2: know where it is. It's not earlier we have that guy. 487 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 2: Is that from yesterday? Or is that I asked for 488 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: it today. I think it's all on the list. 489 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,239 Speaker 4: We have so much audio today or thirty ago. 490 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: That ain't true. That's what you just heard. Since day 491 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 2: one of Donald Trump's presidency, prices are not down, They're up. 492 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: That ain't true. That's what you just heard. Since day 493 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 2: one of Donald Trump's presidency, prices are up, not down. 494 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 9: That ain't true. 495 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 2: That's what you just saw. Since day one of Donald 496 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 2: Trump's presidency, prices are up knocked down. That was just 497 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: three of the twenty two that all did precisely the 498 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: same thing in the same way, using the same equipment. 499 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 2: But we're hip and cool and bomb in the modern world. 500 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 2: Don't they realize we're going to catch on to that? 501 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 4: I don't know, I know, I know, and it's just 502 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 4: so sad and pathetic. But to wrap up Ethan Haymes commentary, 503 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 4: but the most remarkable, remarkable part of it all was 504 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 4: the indescribable energy coming from the Republicans. 505 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 2: It was truly a sight to see such an impressive. 506 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 4: Group of people, well some of them are from every 507 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 4: possible background and every political persuasion collesced around a shared 508 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 4: vision one of the most important moments in American history, 509 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 4: and I was able to be part of it. 510 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: Will be forever grateful for Senator Hawley having me as 511 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 2: a guest. Okay, cool, here's a little punditry around it. 512 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 2: Scott Jennings, he's the conservative they have on CNN for 513 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 2: the roundtable. He said, this was a horrific night for 514 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 2: the opposition party. Democrats came into the speech lost and 515 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 2: defeated by Donald Trump. It looks to me like they're 516 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: even more lost and even more defeated when the speech started. Okay, 517 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 2: I would agree, yeah, and yes, I We'll use that 518 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 2: clip for the rest of their lives. Brit Hume said 519 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 2: last night on Fox if you've ever doubted that Donald 520 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: Trump is the political colossus of our time in our nation, 521 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 2: this night and this speech should have put that to rest. 522 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 4: The why of the Democrats are still hardcore and uniformly 523 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 4: against protecting girls from boys in sports, women from men 524 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 4: in sports. It's like an eighty six to eight issue, 525 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 4: eighty five to eight, and they still can't get a 526 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 4: single vote. They won't allow a single member in either 527 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 4: House to cross the line and say, yeah, I don't 528 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 4: think men should be raping women in prisons. I don't think, 529 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 4: you know, men should be beating the crap out of 530 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 4: women on sports fields. 531 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: Not even one man that is sad or I don't 532 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: like everything Doge is doing, but I love cutting these 533 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 2: wasteful programs so we'll have more money for good programs. 534 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: Not one would applaud that, Yeah, you're just gonna write 535 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 2: that into the ground. At what point a long constructions 536 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 2: we'll finish strong next. 537 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 9: Sir, I'm gonna miss my flight. 538 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 2: Wis momento, But I'm going to miss my flight. Why 539 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 2: didn't you get it before you picked me up. I'm 540 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 2: on my way to the airport and I'm going to 541 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 2: miss my flight because my Uber driver first of all, 542 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 2: took a wrong turn. Second of all, is stopping to 543 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 2: get gas, which has never happened before. So I always 544 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 2: wonder with these sorts of things, are you doing this 545 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 2: to post it to get clicks or were you recording 546 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 2: this to like have evidence of the fact that you 547 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 2: got screwed by the Uber guy and you want your 548 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 2: money backer. I don't know what, but yeah, I had 549 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 2: a bad run of lift drivers I was using Lyft 550 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 2: in La. So I'm not willing to draw any conclusions yet, 551 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 2: but and it was several bad, not good in any way. 552 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 2: And I just I don't know if there's a labor 553 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 2: situation going now where they're having to be less picky 554 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: about who they hire or what, or if it was 555 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 2: just unique to the two days I was in La. Yeah, 556 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 2: I'm a little. 557 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 4: Vexed by the fact that that whatever Uber Lyft whatever 558 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,479 Speaker 4: hes guy could not speak a lick of English. 559 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't even say I needed gas. I had 560 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 2: a couple of those well, I told you, I got 561 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 2: the message of your uber driver is hearing impaired, so 562 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 2: please learn how to say helloga and goodbye and sign 563 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 2: language before he gets there, which I thought was hilarious. Sure, 564 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: I'll just pick up a foreign language real quick, standing 565 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 2: here with my bag outside the airport, because you know, 566 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: sign language is a foreign language to me. But as 567 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 2: people pointed out to me, that's cover four. I don't 568 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: speak English. That way you can just get away with 569 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 2: not being to speak English. Well, it's pretty tough if 570 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 2: you can't talk to him. But because I had somebody 571 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 2: who I couldn't talk to, he just kept going around 572 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 2: the hotel. I was like, it's over there, you gotta 573 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 2: turn to just kind of said some words I didn't understand, 574 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 2: and did the shrug his shoulders, and I started like 575 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 2: pointing and saying left really loud, Like if I said 576 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: it loud in English, you'd understand what I'm saying. It's 577 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 2: a weird habit that they're a tendency that humans have 578 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: left left that makes any difference. But oh what am 579 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 2: I supposed to leave for a rating? If you couldn't 580 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 2: get me where I'm going and I couldn't talk to you, 581 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 2: and then if I give you one star, do I 582 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 2: get a one star? I never know how to handle 583 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 2: those situations. 584 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 9: Eleven score and seventeen minutes ago, aren't strong?

And 607 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 2: then I was wondering about the flu vaccine would have worked. 608 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 2: Then a doctor friend of mine sent me the CDC 609 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 2: chart on this, which I'll assume is accurate. But it 610 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 2: says the flu vaccine last year was forty two percent effective. 611 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 2: What does that mean?
