1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 2: Arms Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: No, No, we caught Hillary Clinton. We've caught Barack Hussein Obama. 5 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: They're the ones, and then you have many many people 6 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: under them. 7 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: Susan Rice, They're all there. 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: The names are all there, and I guess they figured 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: they're going to put this in classified information and nobody 10 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: will ever see it again. But it doesn't work that way. 11 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: And it's the most unbelievable thing I think I've ever read. 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: So you ought to take a look at that and 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: stop talking about nonsense, because this is mixed up by nonsense. 14 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: He means the Epstein files, and what he was describing 15 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: was the fire files that an investigation Tulsey Gabbert has 16 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: been talking about lately into the Russian collusion hoax early 17 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: days when Obama and Brennan and company were directly involved 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: in not reflecting the evidence, but directing which direction it 19 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: would take in spite of the evidence to wit, top 20 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 2: officials working in the intelligence community analysis about Russia's interference 21 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: in the twenty sixteen election were overruled by CIA Director 22 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: John Brennan, according to records reviewed by the Federalists. The 23 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: records are related to ongoing criminal investigations into Brennan other 24 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 2: top intelligence officials for the roles in launching the Russian 25 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 2: collusion hoax. Fairly easy to understand what happened here, it is. 26 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: The dispute was over the key judgment in the January 27 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: twenty seventeenth Intelligence Community Assessment or ICA. The key judgment 28 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: was that Russia had interfered in the election, specifically because 29 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: Putin and the Russian government quote aspired to help President 30 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: Trump's reelection chances. The senior intelligence officials pointed out the 31 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 2: lack of evidence to substantiate the claim. Quote. We have 32 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: no intelligence to directly support this aspiration point, said one 33 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: member of the small group of individuals working on the team. 34 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: He didn't say little, he said, we have no intelligence 35 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: to directly support this point. Uh ba ba b bum. 36 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: Guy was working with Brennan, James Comey, and d N I. Clapper. 37 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 2: The official worried that the inclusion of the claim would 38 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: would quote open the IC to a line of very 39 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: politicized increy that is sure to come up when this 40 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: paper is shared with The Hill. Recent CIA analysis of 41 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: the conclusion of this disputed key judgment noted the risks 42 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 2: of including poorly supported judgments, since skeptical readers inclined quote 43 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: to reject an entire analysis if a single judgment appears exaggerated, biased, 44 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: or unsupported. Well right, but so Clapper, I'm sorry. Brennan, though, 45 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: called the dissenting individuals into his office on December thirtieth, 46 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, remember that's post election, and had a lengthy 47 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: meeting in which they had articulated their serious concerns. At 48 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: the end of the meeting, Brennan reported, the assessment will 49 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: stay the same. People don't I don't know that. People 50 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 2: remember that after Trump was elected, even when he was 51 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: in office, there was a belief in like mainstream America, 52 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: that that was going to be overturned or he was 53 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: going to be booted out or something. Right, but he 54 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: was not going to Remember, there was blowback when Obama 55 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: had him there in the oval office, as you do 56 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: when a new president gets elected, like don't don't validate this. 57 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: Obviously something went wrong. We just got to get to 58 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: the bottom of it. The way they stole this. I 59 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: remember on Saturday night, live like a year in when 60 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: they had their doing their whole Muller thing and Robert 61 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: de Niro would Playmuller and all that. But I got 62 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: something to break to you, Hillary. I think I think 63 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: he's going to stay in office. Like that was big 64 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: news that Trump might not he might actually be the president. 65 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: That was that was up in the air for a 66 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: big chunk of the country at the beginning. So why 67 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: final Yeah, final note on this. The CIA has reviewed 68 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: this and noted that the key judgment, again that they 69 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: interfered to get Trump elected, was given quote a higher 70 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: confidence level than was justified. It further noted that the 71 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: ICA had been drafted under an unusually rushed timeline, had 72 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: been preceded by leaks to The Washington Post in the 73 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: New York Times improperly claiming quote definitive conclusions had already 74 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 2: been reached and had indications of quote a potential political motive. 75 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 2: I I wish this wasn't true. Maybe I'm just too cynical, 76 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: But I don't think this is gonna grab people. I 77 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: think it requires too much thinking and reading. It should, God, 78 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 2: it should. It's huge. It's a huge deal. Yeah, there's 79 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 2: just too much plausible deniability here, right, thinkright for it 80 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: to come home, although you know, I think it's worth 81 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: discussing in people knowing about it, just to understand the 82 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: sort of thing that happens, and how the spook community 83 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: can sometimes be less than truthful and forthcoming depending on 84 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 2: their goals, which should got to be watched and regulated carefully, 85 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: Which should be a surprise to no one, because that's 86 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 2: their history, right, that's a history of the FBI, it's 87 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: a history of the CIA. We know less about the NSA, 88 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 2: which is scary. Right. It's as if Hunter Biden turned 89 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: up on a street corner drunken high this afternoon. Somebody said, 90 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: oh my god, really, no, that's been the entire pattern 91 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: of his life. Of course he did. If he doesn't, 92 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: that's the surprise. And I'm in support of our intelligence communities, 93 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 2: our law enforcement communities. But to give people that power 94 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: and the power to keep the power secret, or I 95 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: should say, keep the ways they execute that power in secret, 96 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: that is, as the founding fathers would tell you, an 97 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: incredibly dangerous proposition, and it must be done very very carefully. 98 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: That's the only point I mean. On the day that 99 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 2: they release all those MLK documents, which there's not really 100 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 2: anything juicy in. But MLK was spied on so much 101 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: by the FBI. And you know why they spied him 102 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: because they wanted to, because they thought he'd gotta be 103 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 2: guilty of something. Exactly the reasoning they had when they 104 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: were spying on Trump. It is people because we wanted 105 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: to and because he's got to be guilty of something, Right, 106 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 2: we're gonna find what he's guilty of and crucify him. Yeah, 107 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: it's troubling. H Speaking of Trump, who's doing one of 108 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: his multi hour probably is an hour into it press conferences. Man, 109 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 2: if you're a foreign leader and you come meet with 110 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: President Trump in the Oval Office, bring a book or 111 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: ear bud he before it starts. All right, to excuse yourself, 112 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: go to the White House bathroom. You think you're gonna, 113 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: you know, shake hands with the guy, get your picture taken, 114 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 2: and answer a question about you know, flower exports in 115 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: Ethiopia or whatever. No, he's going to answer questions about 116 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: every topic that has ever existed for two hours while 117 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: you sit there and smile, and none of them have 118 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: anything to do with you, right, So bring a book. 119 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: But he's doing that right now. If any more news 120 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: comes out of there, we will let you know. But 121 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: remember a while back, Trump was pretty interested in taking 122 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: Canada as a fifty first state. I think he would 123 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: if he had the opportunity, And we've explained why we 124 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: think that's a terrible idea because Canada makes Calumnia look 125 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: like Wyoming in terms of politics, and so we would 126 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: have another giant California that would throw off elections forever. 127 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: To that point, this story that is in the Juno 128 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: News today, new ethics code tells nurses in Canada to 129 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: denounce white European medicine. Wow. The Canada Nurses Association twenty 130 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: twenty five Code of Ethics for Nurses denounces what it 131 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: calls white European centric foundations of modern medicine and compels 132 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 2: nurses to adopt a broad set of radical, progressive political 133 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 2: beliefs as part of their professional duties as nurses. I'm 134 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 2: familiar with this in so many fields, and medicine is 135 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 2: rife with it, and the medical schools are continuing to 136 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 2: do the DEI stuff full speed ahead. They need to 137 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: align their conduct as nurses with a detailed set of 138 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: political values, among them social justice, gender ideology, indigital belief 139 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: systems and climate activism. Nurses have to work in climate 140 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: activism into their job. How would you even do that? 141 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 2: Tell you what these people Their intent is to take 142 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: over society and take over its institutions. They got balls, man, 143 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: They are aggressive while they're doing this. They've been pretty 144 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: successful in a lot of quarters, like all of our schools, 145 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: and here they are successful in Canada with nurses. Nurses 146 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: are now required all across Canada to acknowledge the quote 147 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: historical and continuous impact that white European centric models of 148 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: nursing and health have had on the perpetuation of anti 149 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: indigenous racism, anti black racism, and other types of racism. 150 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: Your point is well taken. But this bone, you can 151 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: see it sticking out of my arm and I'd really 152 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 2: like to get or put back together. Wow, that is 153 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: And I think people hear this stuff and think that 154 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 2: can't be true. I know, or there's something wrong here. 155 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 2: You're exact. No, these people, they count on your niceness, 156 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: and there are no nicer people than Canadians. They count 157 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: on your niceness. You're not going to stand up and 158 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 2: say you're a ludatic in a radical No, you can't 159 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: teach this. And they get over. And this isn't proposed, 160 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 2: this is now done. This is a dumb deal. So 161 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: I'll read that one paragraph again because I thought it 162 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: was so good. As of now twenty twenty five, nurses 163 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: need to align theirt conduct with a detailed set of 164 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: political values, among them social justice, gender ideology, indigenous belief systems, 165 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 2: and climate activism. That is so nuts. Yeah, I'm familiar 166 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: with this in the medical context, and that the radical 167 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 2: leftists want to dictate that you put tribal medical beliefs 168 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: on the same footing give it the same weight as 169 00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 2: carefully scientific method proved you know, double blind contry troll 170 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: group and experiment group drug trials for instance. Well, no, 171 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 2: if they believe that, you know, if you worship the 172 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: owl god that will take care of your cancer, you've 173 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: got to give that equal belief with like gene therapy, 174 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: I got an equal way.

Okay, typical 179 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 2: colonial of pressure. Can I get some morphine instead of 180 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: corn meal. Oh mister European centric wants morphine for his 181 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: bone sticking out. Wow, Canada check yourself. Wow, that's some story. 182 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 2: Holy crap, um. John Stewart said something interesting. Donald Trump 183 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: truthed out something interesting on that very topic of the 184 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: late night shows going away. Maybe we'll get to that, 185 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 2: among other things. How do you get cracked? 186 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 3: One of the things I don't want to do is 187 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 3: give it how to any more unlike myself that may 188 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: think that it's a good idea, but crack cocaine is 189 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 3: a I am fully aware when I'm talking about it 190 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 3: in relationship to my own experience with it. It is 191 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 3: a still a shocking thing for most people because we 192 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 3: have been fed this perception of crack cocaine. It's more 193 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 3: than just a drug. It's more than like if you 194 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 3: say math, or if you say heroin, or if you 195 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 3: say cocaine. It comes with a whole bunch of different baggage. 196 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: And because of that, places that you can go get 197 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: it are some of the most dangerous places in whatever 198 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 3: location you happen to be, and it's everywhere. Mainly for 199 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 3: that reason, I learned how to make my own. 200 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: He learned how to make his own crack. Well, I 201 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: respect his diy spirit there. It's funny that he's making 202 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: the argument. Look, cracks this terrible reputation. It's just not fair. 203 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 2: It's just a drug. Is that what he's trying to say. 204 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: I couldn't quite follow him. Well, yeah, because crack has 205 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 2: such a bad reputation, you got to go to dangerous 206 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: parts of the town to get it that you wouldn't 207 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 2: for cocaine or math or whatever. I'd like to hear 208 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 2: more of his booze is more insidious than all the 209 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 2: other drugs he took argument as a drinking man, I'm 210 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 2: just kind of curious. Well, if you're an alcoholic, it is. 211 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: If you're not, yeah, yeah, uh oh. Speaking of which, 212 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: Dove tailing off the Canadian nurses thing. Unless you add 213 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 2: more on Hunter, fascinating fellow. If you didn't hear our 214 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: previous segments of his long interview, he's a piece of crap. 215 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 2: He blames everybody for everything in his life. Hunter, you're 216 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: a loser and he's delusional anyway. Grab it via podcast 217 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: Armstrong and gettyon demanded. I thought this was interesting. Cato's 218 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: head of Medical Health Policy Studies is his name is 219 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: Michael Cannon, and he wrote Peace, pointing out that he 220 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: starts by saying the big beautiful bill is getting some 221 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: kickens because it would slow the growth of federal Medicaid 222 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 2: spending from four and a half to two point seven 223 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: percent annually, and for that reason, thousands will die. But 224 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: he makes the point that evidence for this is wanting 225 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: if Medicaid were a drug. If the program were a drug, 226 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: the federal government would not have approved it, and indeed, 227 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 2: salesmen might do prison time for claiming it saves lives. 228 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 2: And they mentioned when LBJ signed Medicare and Medicaid into 229 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: law in nineteen sixty five, he said one of the 230 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 2: goals was to improve the health improve the health of 231 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 2: all Americans. If you claim that for a drug, the 232 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: FDA demands at least one, but usually two, successful randomized 233 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 2: control trials, which are the gold standard of that sort 234 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: of research. But he points out Congress has never demanded 235 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: a randomized controlled trial to investigate whether Medicare and Medicaid 236 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: I prove health, much less condition their existence on two 237 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 2: successful trials. And he points out that especially with Medicaid, 238 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: there have been a couple of studies that have found 239 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: you get more care if you're on Medicaid, but there's 240 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: no discernible improvement in your physical health. That's kind of 241 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 2: why I go to the doctor or any sort of 242 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: health care is for a discernible improvement health. Yeah, lacking 243 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: a discernible improvement. I'm not gonna bother. I'm gonna go 244 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 2: play golf. But it's kind of a funny thing, funny, funny, tragic, 245 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 2: horrifying that nobody ever asks, uh, does this actually help 246 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: people be healthier? I remember the stat years ago. I 247 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: don't know if it's still true, but it sounds like 248 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: it might be that you were better off without it 249 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: than with it. Yeah, I remember Craig the healthcare guru, 250 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: said you gotta be careful how you interpret that one. 251 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: But there is no notable Uh you know. They're like 252 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: the Oregon study, which I think is what you're referring to. 253 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 2: It found that some non randomized studies likely overstated medicaids 254 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 2: potential health benefits and other ones cast down on it. 255 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: But it doesn't doesn't clearly save lives and help people, 256 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: which is weird, encounterintuitive, and Canon gets into the reasons 257 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 2: why promptly because of all the weird incentives and disincentives 258 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: built into Medicaid in particular, And how doctors get paid 259 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: nothing for it? So they've got to overcharge people with 260 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: private health insurance. But how many billions dollar dollars does 261 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: it cost taxpayers for no discernible improvement? Oh, unspeakable amounts 262 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: of money. Since nineteen sixty five, we've spent forty five 263 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 2: trillion dollars without substantial evidence of effectiveness. Forty five trillion 264 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: dollars right right, Well, in all those weird provider taxes 265 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: that then go around the circle, then go back to 266 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: those providers as kind of a bribe from the states. 267 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, we got to break it all down 268 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 2: and start again. It's not gonna happen, but we ought to. Well, 269 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 2: Bernie and others want to make the entire healthcare system 270 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: that though you're how do you like that? 271 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 4: Oh? 272 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: My god, I hope that doesn't happen. 273 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty. 274 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 5: Late Night TV is a struggling financial model. We're all 275 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 5: basically operating a Blockbuster Kiosk inside of. 276 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 2: A tower record. But when your. 277 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 5: Industry is faced with changes, you don't just call it 278 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 5: a day. My god, When cens stopped selling, they didn't 279 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 5: just go. Oh well, music, it's been a good run. 280 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 5: The fact that CBS didn't try to save their number 281 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 5: one rated network late night franchise that's been on the 282 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 5: air for over three decades is part of what's making 283 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 5: everybody wonder was this purely financial or maybe the path 284 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 5: of least resistance for your eight billion dollar merger. 285 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 2: No, there's not no evidence of that. No, but I 286 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 2: don't know his examples. Musicians now make zero dollars off 287 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: of putting out an album unless they tour right. Times change, 288 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: models of revenue change, and there's no bringing it back 289 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: right in that thirty three years run, the world has 290 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 2: changed completely, John, in those thirty three years. Yeah, coming 291 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 2: up on a similar topic, you remember when Lindsay and 292 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: pluck Rose and Bogosian got those fake research papers published 293 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 2: in real journals, their grievance studies crap. They may have 294 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: met their equal. Stay tuned for the white man who 295 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 2: pretended to be black to get published. Oh, I can't 296 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: wait to hear this. So Trump truthed out something about 297 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 2: the late night shows. We'll just read it. The word is, 298 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 2: and it's a strong word. That Jimmy Kimmel is next 299 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 2: to go in the untalented late night Sweepstakes, and shortly 300 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: thereafter Fallon will be gone. These are people with absolutely 301 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: no talent, not true at all, who were paid millions 302 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: of dollars for, in cases, destroying what used to be 303 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 2: great television. It's really good to see them go. And 304 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: I hope I played a major part in it. That's 305 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,239 Speaker 2: not the sitting president of the United States weighing in 306 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 2: on the cancelation of late night TV show hosts. Yes, yes, 307 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 2: oh my lord. I was watching what I don't remember. 308 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 2: I came across to Jimmy Fallon doing impersonations. He's one 309 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: of the most talented people that's ever been on television. 310 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: He really is. Oh yeah, he's a towering talent, god, unbelievable. 311 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 2: Seems like a good dude too. You know. It's funny. 312 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: As we are going to break a few min minutes ago, 313 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 2: Jack was looking around at the TVs and said, man, 314 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: this Colbert thinks getting so much attention. And then in 315 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: the conversation between Jack and executive producer Hanson myself, the 316 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 2: name Trump came up three four, five times. Immediately, that's 317 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 2: what it is. It's about Trump now, so everything is yeah, 318 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 2: that's the great ratings slash clickbait promotion still for virtually 319 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 2: all media, not us so much. But it's crazy, and 320 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 2: Colbert's going to get to go and be like the 321 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: hero of the Resistance until next May as the guy. 322 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: Their take on it is Trump forced him out of 323 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 2: his job, and so he's going to be bad mouthing 324 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: Trump more than ever and just be a hero, I 325 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 2: mean an epic status. Yeah. And I think CBS dopey 326 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,239 Speaker 2: as they can be know this, And somebody from the 327 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: executive suites is now in the legal department saying, look, 328 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: take another look at that contract.

Some of 432 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 2: them are probably well read, and some of them probably 433 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 2: have like nearly zero people reading them. That last thing 434 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 2: I read is so hilariously stupid. I mean, the other 435 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 2: thing is so convoluted and weird and hard to read. 436 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 2: It almost was art, but that's just Oh I'm so mad. 437 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 2: I could kiss kiss a woman I don't even like 438 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: right now, portraying a lesbian I mean, oh my god. 439 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 2: So this guy came clean writing on substack him a 440 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 2: series of attractive pen names to test the limits of 441 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: the poetry industry and just how much buffoonery it was 442 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: willing to permit in the present day. He claimed he'd 443 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 2: spent two years tricking editors into thinking that his pronouns 444 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 2: or skin color were less regularly irregular than they actually are. 445 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 2: Bah bah bah forty seven palms. He got published forty 446 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 2: seven times. I gotta believe the me. As a white, 447 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 2: straight old man, it'd be almost impossible to get published. 448 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 2: He'd created online accounts to match all the identities he'd 449 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: invented to maintain the illusion. Okay, why did you go 450 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 2: to such Yeah, in case he did any research, all right, exactly, 451 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: just a very little bit. But yeah, they would see 452 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: a guy with it. It looked to be Nigerian or whatever. 453 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 2: Why do you go to such lengths? Mostly because he 454 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 2: was mad. Several years ago, the man who called himself 455 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: by yet another pseudonym, because he doesn't want people to, 456 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 2: you know, go Nuts was trying to break out as 457 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 2: a poet writing under his real name, and he noticed 458 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: that certain journals had what he described as quote really 459 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: weird and quite specific requirements. I was just not in 460 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 2: the demographic they would even consider accepting. In some cases, 461 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 2: they're openly advocating on their websites for the voices of 462 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 2: the disenfranchise and all of this stuff. I'm like, wow, 463 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 2: it'd probably be a lot easier to get in if 464 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 2: I have some sort of connection to one of these identities. 465 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: And sure enough, that's all it took. And Okay, I 466 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: hate to turn things serious, but because this is hilarious, 467 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 2: I wish we had more time for this. But now, 468 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 2: every time I or you sees a whatever alternate identity 469 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 2: poet and are told how great they are, you'll think 470 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,959 Speaker 2: of this and you'll think, oh, yeah, I bet they 471 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 2: are DEI poet, play, musician, movie director, actor, doctor, professor, 472 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 2: name it, Oh right, exactly, I've got it. Where did 473 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 2: I come across this story the other day? Which, just 474 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 2: to finish the thought, is why like Jason Riley or 475 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: Thomas Sowell or Coleman Hughes or just so many great 476 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 2: black achievers in one thing or another. They despise this 477 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: stuff because somebody can look at, you know, a Jason 478 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: Riley and say, oh, yeah, he writes for the Wall 479 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 2: Street Journal. They needed a black guy. Never mind the 480 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 2: fact that he's an unbelievably smart and persuasive writer. But yeah, 481 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 2: just taints the whole thing. Somebody who's telling me about 482 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:42,239 Speaker 2: their Asian kid who was just a standout academic and 483 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 2: how they couldn't get into any California schools. It was 484 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 2: just impossible. It's an Asian. Oh yeah, I have an 485 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: example of that, and a great example of that. I 486 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 2: don't want to bring shame, but this young woman's credentials 487 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 2: were like mind boggling, okay, and came from an immigrant 488 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 2: family that had to work like crazy to make a 489 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 2: go of it in the United States.
