They're among the artists with the most nominations. 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.360 Bad Bunny, who's playing in the Super Bowl, right, I 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.920 congratulate him her or it. My son is old school 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.120 Kendrick Lamar. He doesn't like the newer Kendrick Lamar. And 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:42.919 all I knew was from what I saw of him 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:44.440 on the Super Bowl last year, and I didn't really 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.839 get it. But he was playing me the like original 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.240 Kendrick Lamar that made him famous, and it was pretty cool. 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:50.000 I really dug it. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:57.680 The CNN chirn up there says no deal appears imminent 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.360 as long as ever shut down keeps going. I don't 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.840 know if that's accurate or not. Often these things are 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.920 being put together behind the scenes and it doesn't look 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.720 in it until it happens practically, right, Yeah, So I 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.920 wouldn't be shocked if you heard today that the shutdown 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.880 is going to go going to continue. But Mark Alpern 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.600 was writing in his newsletter today that his inside sources 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.280 say both sides think they're winning. So there's not a 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:26.759 lot of political movement to end the shutdown. That's both 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.000 sides outside of Trump, because Trump announced the other day 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:29.600 we're losing. 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:30.679 We need to end this now. 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.479 But well, that's exactly why I formed the f Yolikin 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:40.039 Party ef y'all, and we formed a political party.

But first Friday, traditional time to 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.960 take a fine look back of the week.

I measure it and 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.200 save lives. It's actually funny. It was December eighteenth. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.600 I remember because that's an important date to me, as 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:15.920 Joseph Stalin's birthday. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:17.640 I'm a fan. 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:22.640 Character AI, a bot generating app that connects users with 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.880 fictional bought friends, ended up. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:31.880 With the bots initiating romantic kissing. We also have to 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.320 work those sort of the dark side, if you will. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.000 When the day starts with Dick trading and being dead, 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:39.840 it ends with Mom Donnie winning. 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:46.560 Yes, so hear me, President Trump, when I say this, 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:48.520 to get to any of. 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.640 Us, you will have to get through all of us. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:57.040 Every twenty years or so. We need a conspicuous, confined 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.640 experiment with socialism so we can cry it up again. 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.280 I'm a democratic socialist who's also a democrat. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:05.320 Nothing. 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:10.080 I just like more than the politician that sits there 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:10.920 and lies to you. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.560 It's just a vital creature. The worst thing among face 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:16.320 of the earth. 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:18.159 Tread. 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:20.040 Dread. 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.960 When someone branded people inhaling, they're exhaling what they're done inhaling. 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:29.760 It's a dread doctor clips of a wish. 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:36.240 There's no way Nick Buinas actually admires Stalin. He's just 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.760 trolling and he's an edge lord. What's an ex lord. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.440 It's somebody who's constantly pushing to the very limits of 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.359 acceptability to get attention, to be provocative. Particularly it attracts 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.560 young men. All young men are like that. They like 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.400 the risky and the dangerous and the I'm not supposed 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:54.760 to say this, but I get it. 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.719 There's something else there. He's a piece of crap, but 0:04:58.839 --> 0:04:59.640 a moral. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.200 There's something else in the clips of the weekend on 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.760 to comment on, but I don't remember what it was anyway, 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.520 Maybe it'll pop into my head at much. Yeah, so 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.320 you were going to try to tell us what the 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.160 government shut down is actually about. 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.840 Do you is it? Is it Obamacare? Yeah? 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:19.280 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's continuing the subsidies. I've got 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:19.440 a d. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.599 Now, have the Republicans not done a better job of 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:27.840 saying no, no, no, no, no, we're not We're not cutting Obamacare. 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.239 We're going back to the pre COVID. They we changed 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.480 all the medical policies because of COVID. Not COVID's over 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.160 and we're going back to the old that's. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.960 Worth following the law that the Democrats passed. 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.800 What's crazy about that? You were going back to the 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:41.280 original Democratic law? 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.520 Yeah, exactly. Yeah. 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.320 Their messaging is terrible. I haven't heard anybody say it. 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:47.080 That's succinctly. 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.680 It's an F minus the Republican party's messaging. Yeah. 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.360 I mean, of everybody you got f's, you're the worst. 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.480 I am actually mystified by it. I don't get it 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.760 how their messaging can be as bad as it is. 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.400 Who wrote this? It's really good, Rick oh Rick Scott. 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.359 Congressional Democrats have said the quiet part out loud. They 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.760 want the federal government to keep cutting massive checks to 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.000 insurance companies, forever, using your tax dollars to show up 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.560 the sinking ship of Obamacare, even shut down the government 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.159 to make sure it happens. Obamacare did not deliver on 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.640 its promise of health care affordability and stability. If you 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.080 like your health care plan, you're screwed, was the truth. 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.119 In twenty thirteen, promised to bring down health care costs 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.120 savings of twenty five hundred dollars a year for every 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.479 American family and two hundred billion dollars for the federal government. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.800 Was a complete fiction by Obamacare. 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.679 And to keep Obamacare float, the federal government has propped 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.000 it up with hundreds of billions of dollars in handouts 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.080 directly to the insurance industry, while failing to lower costs. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:58.320 And these handouts lacked any accountability or eligibility requirements, opening 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.840 them up to fraud, waste, and mass confusion that line 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.479 the pockets of insurance companies and brokers and failed Americans 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.280 who need help. The whole system is misconceived, he writes, 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.640 but Washington has done its best to hide that from 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:11.520 the American people. 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:12.960 That's all true and interesting. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.160 I still think it's too complicated, though, so when the 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.720 shutdown started, they were making air they want to give 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.680 your tax money to illegals for their healthcare, which is true, 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.000 but I still think it's too complicated. No, no, no, 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.720 we just want to go back to the pre COVID situation. 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.600 That's the law the Democrats passed that they were so 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.720 proud of. You're not proud of it anymore, or what. 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.560 We're just going to go back to the pre COVID law, right, 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.560 we had you ought to be in charge of the 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.320 Republican Party's messaging. COVID was the biggest health emergency in 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.200 a century, so we adjusted our sales. Of course, now 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.840 we're going back to the pre emergency numbers. Why is 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:51.680 this so complicated? It frustrates me. No end they can't 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:52.920 get that. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:54.400 I don't. 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.320 I think you'd have a fair amount of agreement if 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.520 people knew that, because when you position it at well, 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.800 anything more complex or a cut, which is an easy 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:08.120 way to position of your Democrats, people react negatively to that. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:08.480 Often. 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.120 I feel like I've felt at times rooting for various 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.320 sports teams that just flat sucked, and I thought, all right, 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.840 I'm not going to be emotionally invested in you anymore. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.320 I might watch because I enjoy the sport, and I 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.560 might be I've got to readjust my sales. I might 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.760 be thinking, Okay, I wonder if that kid's going to 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.040 be any good. Maybe they can help us in future seasons. 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.160 But I'm not gonna have any emotional investment anymore. I 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.960 feel that way about the Republican Party. Some days you're 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.560 just so bad at what you do, and yet against 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.760 all of the media and academia and entertainment, Republicans still 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.480 win elections because their ideas are so much better. 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.520 Generally speaking, I. 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.760 Might look over the I might look over the Grammy 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.760 nominations and just came out say, if there's anything I 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.160 think is interesting to you our audience, But what's your 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:56.240 least favorite kind of music that like, you just have 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:00.480 no toleration for you can't really listen to it. I 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.120 say this, of course, because I've got one. 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.720 Yeah, popular like pop country makes my skin crawl. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.840 It's funny what my son said last night when we 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:09.600 were talking about this. 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.760 My oldest he said, I like pretty much all kinds 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.800 of music, and he does have a very varied, varied taste, 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.720 mostly hip hop, but it kind of listen to everything. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.680 Every once in a while he surprises me with something. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.079 He said, I just can't do modern country. 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.880 Yeah, and I like a lot of like twangy music, 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.000 Americana and traditional American music and stuff like that, but 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:33.760 it's just so formulaic, and it's just it's so formulaic, 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.400 it just it bothers me. Yeah, It's like it's the 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.839 musical equivalent of a rom com where you know the 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.080 entire plot in the first ten minutes. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.440 I don't dig it, but if it's on, it doesn't 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.280 bother me. Like the only genre I can't really get 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.599 into his metal. I just I don't even want it 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:51.240 to on around me. 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:51.599 I do not. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.640 I've tried many. 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.600 Times because I like so many different kinds of music, 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.400 and my son was talking to me about how I 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:58.600 go through phases, and I do. 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.000 I go through a classical phase. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.520 Then I'll be on jazz, and then I'll be on 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.200 Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie and then I'll just I'll 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.400 do him each for a week or two. But I've 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.800 tried with metal, and I just can't find any enjoyment 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:11.120 in it. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:11.920 Yeah. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:16.560 I know, my son, who is practically a musical genius, 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.480 is super into it, and he is a huge Robert 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.640 Earl Keene fan and Bob Dylan and Rush and a 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.560 hundred other things. But he says it gets all of 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.079 the angst and all the frustration. 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:31.800 Out of him. 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.960 Hmm, it's just a dragic bang in your head and 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.439 all it's just it just it flushes it all the way. 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:37.839 Katie. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.160 You're a metal fan, right, at least you know so 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.560 because there are a lot of different genres of metal. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.400 It's like country people here. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.600 I don't like country and might think I don't want 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.160 to hear you know whatever, a great American act, And 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:50.040 that's not true. 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.199 Right, Haggard as opposed to whoever's popular. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.120 I want to listen to the old ninety sevens all day, 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.160 but I have no desire and what's on the radio screaming? 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.240 It gets a little rough in the metal sometimes. But 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:01.679 I felt about the Cookie Monster thing. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.920 What amazes me is that Drew can understand what they're saying, 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.240 and I'm like, we translate because I have no idea 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:18.280 what they're saying. I I got plenty of anngst and frustration. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:24.640 So you think it would work for me? Mmm, we'll 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.439 teach their own, Michael. Any kind of music you just 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:26.840 don't like? 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.920 Polka? Polka? Yeah, too many clarinets? 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:32.880 I like some polka, I like some yoldling. I mean 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.200 I could listen to yodling more than I could. 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.720 Listen to metal today. If I had to listen to one. 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:41.319 Thing, like classic yieldling. It was always on TV when 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.120 Joe and I. Joe and I are old, we're eaching 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.720 our nineties. But when we were kids, on television, there's 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.319 every once in a while they'd have a yodler on. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.120 I don't know who they were trying to satisfy with that, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.280 like what the hell, Well, you. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.720 Couldn't tune out. I mean, it was like, what the 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:56.360 hell is that? 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.120 And then they'd hit that part towards the end where 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.040 they'd go yeah really really fast, and the crowd had 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:02.520 like come to their feet with amazement. 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:04.760 Let's see yodling equivalent of. 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:11.079 Right right, yeah, right, Oh my god, good times. 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:13.839 Yeah. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.840 So we got a little update on all the flights 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.000 being canceled, on how much that's disrupting air traffic today. 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:20.840 I just got a funny text from somebody who's at 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.599 the airport. Would all have to read to you is 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:23.400 quite humorous. 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.760 So I'm absolutely drowning in things I really want to 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.480 talk about, but I feel the need to at least 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.880 tip our cap to the great Peggy Noonan who's out 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:37.080 with her column or weekly column. And it's entitled ahem, 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.120 take Momdanni seriously and literally. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.560 Well that's a good one. I want to hear that. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:47.120 So all that stuff's on the way, you stay here, Hetty. 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.679 Trump announcing new deals drastically lowering the prices of g 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:55.520 LP one obesity drugs like ozempic, even bringing reporters back 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.920 into the room to hear more about the impact after 0:12:57.960 --> 0:12:58.760 being ushered out. 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.240 When a man in the back face. 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.560 Americas will lose one hundred and thirty five billion pounds 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:04.679 by the midterms. 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.000 I don't measure it in pounds. I measure it and 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:08.800 save lives. Yeah, that wasn't a number to me. I 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.920 didn't see it till this morning where Trump explained, one 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.800 of your big name will go VI or whatever it is. 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.520 One of your big names is going to go from 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.640 thirteen to fifty a month to two hundred and fifty 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:18.400 dollars a month. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.200 Thirteen hundred and fifty. Yeah, thirteen hundred and fifty a 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:23.600 month to two hundred and fifty a month. 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.319 So it went from man, you got to really need 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.280 it or have a lot of money before you're going 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.880 to do that to lots of people could figure out 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.240 a way to pay two fifty a month. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.960 Oh yeah, a lot of people have spent that more 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.600 on various diet planes and gyms and the rest of it. Yeah, 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:43.400 it's intriguing for sure, and it could pay enormous health dividends. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.400 Yeah, that's the theory is that that's what's going to 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.320 drive lowering the cost. Is insurance companies are going to 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.320 quickly figure out this is the best investment we've ever 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.400 made because there are one hundred or more diseases. I 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:01.480 heard a doctor this morning on News Nation that obesity 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:06.359 is a huge contributed to and that's way more expensive 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.079 than subsidizing these drugs. 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:09.520 A little bit. 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.120 Obese to rates, by the way, have fallen in the 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:13.960 last couple of years for the first time in many 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.920 many years, and I thought it's probably mostly the weight 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:17.480 loss drugs. 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.000 Oh yeah wow. 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:24.240 So also the idea that they'll be prescribed to more 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.600 people that aren't, you know, profoundly obese, like was the beginning, 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.320 it'd be just people that got twenty five pounds to lose. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.360 Yeah, yeah, well, you know, I'm not profoundly obese. But 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.240 I'm certainly heavier than I need to be in it 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.680 has its health effects. You know, it's funny I close 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.840 this tab because it's the same old, same old. But 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:47.680 the ten least and most obese states in America, you're obese. 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:53.400 Five are Alabama, Louisas In Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and West Virginia. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:59.880 It's the usual suspects and the fittest states allegedly Hawaii, California, Massachusetts, Utah, 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.600 in Colorado, the usual suspects. 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.160 And what do you attribute that to? Uh? 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:12.360 Culture, culture and diet, and diet is part of culture. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.920 Southern cooking is absolutely freaking delicious, but you got to 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:20.960 burn a hell of a lot of glories. Yeah, whereas 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:25.360 in Colorado you get your your kales and your keen wahs, 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.360 your whatever the heck you people eat. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.720 My son hates red meat, my oldest. It's really tough, 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:31.720 makes it tough to go out there. 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:31.960 Thing. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.880 Yeah, just because that's my favorite thing in the world. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.800 I love the red meat, like chicken. He will eat chicken, 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.520 but he doesn't like uh, he doesn't like anything steak burgers, 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.280 anything like that. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:43.680 And those are my favorite places. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.240 And then often they're chicken offering is kind of excuse 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:47.920 me for weirdos who won't eat a. 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.560 Steak or burgers. 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.920 I know, I don't think this personally, but he's, say 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:53.800 a Chinese spot. 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.960 He thinks steak is discussing. I know, I say, I 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.200 told he we get out of the car. And then 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:00.720 I look at the son of my I'm what do 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:01.200 you call? 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:02.080 Well? He barely is. 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.360 My dad was in the cattle business' entire life when 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.720 we grew up, eating state and it's my favorite thing anyway, 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.760 all our favorite restaurants that I've ever gone to. I 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.360 don't like any of this stuff, so I looked it up. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.160 I asked, Grox, So what do you call somebody who 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:15.840 only eats chicken? 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:16.000 Does? 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.360 He doesn't like fish either, only eats chicken, no red meat. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:24.440 It's an apollo or an apolitarian. A politarian, that's what 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:24.680 you are. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:29.600 You're a I believe in anarchy, but with a strong 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:36.200 fire department exactly. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.920 Oh, speaking of radical politics, the Great Peggy Noon and 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:46.280 weighing in on morom Momkami uh and uh. Actually, oddly enough, 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:51.840 Stephen Smith and Victor Davis Hansen on Mamdanie. Oh really, 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.240 last time you heard those three human beings in the 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.040 same sentence. I haven't paragraph anyway, so I look forward 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.200 to that fantastic little Danny wrap up. He doesn't take 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.040 office till January. You realize he can't do anything yet. 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.600 So it's there's still time to buy a new hammer 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:07.720 and poliship your sickle. 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.360 Yeah, get that sickle sharp. You got to start stabbing 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.000 the economy until it bleeds out dark glad aunt of time. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:17.040 So I don't take this any further. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.040 I give stuff, Armstrong and getty. 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:26.639 Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:31.240 of our city who made this movement their own. I 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:39.440 speak of Yemeny bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:51.920 drivers and who's beck nurses, Trinidadian lime coach and Ethiopian aunties, Yes, aunties. 0:17:56.560 --> 0:18:03.240 Let the inevitable lying begin so typical of Marxists, claiming 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:09.399 that he was representing the working poor, the minorities, the immigrants. 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.200 The numbers do not bear that sentiment out at all. 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.280 I saw this yesterday, meant to bring it up. It's 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.560 really interesting, and more than the fact that he lied 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.320 about it, who he's representing, the media completely unaware of 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.120 who he's representing, or. 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:24.680 They don't care. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.639 Yeah, Cuomo won the I don't have a high school 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.040 degree vote by eight points. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:32.160 Cuomo did. 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.600 Voters who his education ended with a high school diploma 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.399 backed Cuomo over Mndami to the tune of forty six 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.040 to forty percent, and forty seven percent of those with 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.919 some college voted for Cuomo, compared with forty one percent 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:47.280 who backed Mamdanni. 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:54.240 Mamdannie's strength was with the city's elite. Mamdanni lost everybody 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:55.520 but college educated. 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.800 Right, so you don't get to standands degree. People went 0:18:58.880 --> 0:18:59.920 in droves from Mamdani. 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:01.560 Yeah, you don't get to stand up in front of 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:05.640 a crowd and yell, I represent the working class. No 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:09.400 you don't. You represent the college educated. I mean, it's 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.280 just factually true. These are the numbers. But again, to me, 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.480 I wish the media would have, you know, understood that 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:17.920 at all. 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:24.320 Right, radical ideology is almost always the product of the elite, 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:29.280 the young, wealthy, comfortable elite. It happens over and over 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.960 and over again in history, and it's happened again. But 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:36.120 for some reason, people the media pretend that's not the case. 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.560 They fall they just lap up the rhetoric and never 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:40.119 question it. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.920 And we all know how it has just generally been 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.320 true broadly that the more education you have, the more 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.560 money you make throughout your life. So the people that 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:53.240 could benefit for the most in theory from rent control 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.360 and free buses and right in the subway for free 0:19:56.359 --> 0:20:00.000 and all that sort of stuff, they voted for Homo. 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:04.800 Right, right, that's the narrative here, that's the narrative. Everybody 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.080 ought to be talkingly. That's the most interesting part of 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.639 the whole story. I know, I know, and we we 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:11.320
