WEBVTT - Poets Getting Paid 0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:06.320 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:10.360 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:17.439 Arms Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:27.480 No, No, we caught Hillary Clinton. We've caught Barack Hussein Obama. 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.960 They're the ones, and then you have many many people 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:32.320 under them. 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.800 Susan Rice, They're all there. 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.840 The names are all there, and I guess they figured 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.320 they're going to put this in classified information and nobody 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.600 will ever see it again. But it doesn't work that way. 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.680 And it's the most unbelievable thing I think I've ever read. 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.479 So you ought to take a look at that and 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:55.240 stop talking about nonsense, because this is mixed up by nonsense. 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.840 He means the Epstein files, and what he was describing 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.400 was the fire files that an investigation Tulsey Gabbert has 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:07.720 been talking about lately into the Russian collusion hoax early 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:13.480 days when Obama and Brennan and company were directly involved 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:20.720 in not reflecting the evidence, but directing which direction it 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.480 would take in spite of the evidence to wit, top 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:29.320 officials working in the intelligence community analysis about Russia's interference 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.959 in the twenty sixteen election were overruled by CIA Director 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:37.160 John Brennan, according to records reviewed by the Federalists. The 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.600 records are related to ongoing criminal investigations into Brennan other 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.040 top intelligence officials for the roles in launching the Russian 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.759 collusion hoax. Fairly easy to understand what happened here, it is. 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.080 The dispute was over the key judgment in the January 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:56.040 twenty seventeenth Intelligence Community Assessment or ICA. The key judgment 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.320 was that Russia had interfered in the election, specifically because 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.600 Putin and the Russian government quote aspired to help President 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.960 Trump's reelection chances. The senior intelligence officials pointed out the 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.679 lack of evidence to substantiate the claim. Quote. We have 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:15.760 no intelligence to directly support this aspiration point, said one 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.000 member of the small group of individuals working on the team. 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.640 He didn't say little, he said, we have no intelligence 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:27.160 to directly support this point. Uh ba ba b bum. 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:31.480 Guy was working with Brennan, James Comey, and d N I. Clapper. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.679 The official worried that the inclusion of the claim would 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.000 would quote open the IC to a line of very 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.360 politicized increy that is sure to come up when this 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.320 paper is shared with The Hill. Recent CIA analysis of 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.000 the conclusion of this disputed key judgment noted the risks 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.920 of including poorly supported judgments, since skeptical readers inclined quote 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:56.040 to reject an entire analysis if a single judgment appears exaggerated, biased, 0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:02.840 or unsupported. Well right, but so Clapper, I'm sorry. Brennan, though, 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:08.440 called the dissenting individuals into his office on December thirtieth, 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:13.919 twenty sixteen, remember that's post election, and had a lengthy 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:18.120 meeting in which they had articulated their serious concerns. At 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.000 the end of the meeting, Brennan reported, the assessment will 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:27.120 stay the same. People don't I don't know that. People 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.040 remember that after Trump was elected, even when he was 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:36.320 in office, there was a belief in like mainstream America, 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.760 that that was going to be overturned or he was 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.160 going to be booted out or something. Right, but he 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.320 was not going to Remember, there was blowback when Obama 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.120 had him there in the oval office, as you do 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.960 when a new president gets elected, like don't don't validate this. 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:53.880 Obviously something went wrong. We just got to get to 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.520 the bottom of it. The way they stole this. I 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.240 remember on Saturday night, live like a year in when 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.960 they had their doing their whole Muller thing and Robert 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.040 de Niro would Playmuller and all that. But I got 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.640 something to break to you, Hillary. I think I think 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.760 he's going to stay in office. Like that was big 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:15.960 news that Trump might not he might actually be the president. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.240 That was that was up in the air for a 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.159 big chunk of the country at the beginning. So why 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:25.520 final Yeah, final note on this. The CIA has reviewed 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.360 this and noted that the key judgment, again that they 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.800 interfered to get Trump elected, was given quote a higher 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.479 confidence level than was justified. It further noted that the 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.560 ICA had been drafted under an unusually rushed timeline, had 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.320 been preceded by leaks to The Washington Post in the 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:48.760 New York Times improperly claiming quote definitive conclusions had already 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:53.279 been reached and had indications of quote a potential political motive. 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:02.719 I I wish this wasn't true. Maybe I'm just too cynical, 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.880 But I don't think this is gonna grab people. I 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:12.160 think it requires too much thinking and reading. It should, God, 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:18.280 it should. It's huge. It's a huge deal. Yeah, there's 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.840 just too much plausible deniability here, right, thinkright for it 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.480 to come home, although you know, I think it's worth 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:31.240 discussing in people knowing about it, just to understand the 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:37.760 sort of thing that happens, and how the spook community 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:42.440 can sometimes be less than truthful and forthcoming depending on 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:47.839 their goals, which should got to be watched and regulated carefully, 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.039 Which should be a surprise to no one, because that's 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.920 their history, right, that's a history of the FBI, it's 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.560 a history of the CIA. We know less about the NSA, 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.240 which is scary. Right. It's as if Hunter Biden turned 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.880 up on a street corner drunken high this afternoon. Somebody said, 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:07.159 oh my god, really, no, that's been the entire pattern 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.400 of his life. Of course he did. If he doesn't, 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:14.000 that's the surprise. And I'm in support of our intelligence communities, 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.720 our law enforcement communities. But to give people that power 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.080 and the power to keep the power secret, or I 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:27.080 should say, keep the ways they execute that power in secret, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.520 that is, as the founding fathers would tell you, an 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:34.200 incredibly dangerous proposition, and it must be done very very carefully. 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.440 That's the only point I mean. On the day that 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:43.840 they release all those MLK documents, which there's not really 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:48.280 anything juicy in. But MLK was spied on so much 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.040 by the FBI. And you know why they spied him 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.760 because they wanted to, because they thought he'd gotta be 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.280 guilty of something. Exactly the reasoning they had when they 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.159 were spying on Trump. It is people because we wanted 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.920 to and because he's got to be guilty of something, Right, 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:06.279 we're gonna find what he's guilty of and crucify him. Yeah, 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.960 it's troubling. H Speaking of Trump, who's doing one of 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:16.480 his multi hour probably is an hour into it press conferences. Man, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.640 if you're a foreign leader and you come meet with 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.760 President Trump in the Oval Office, bring a book or 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.080 ear bud he before it starts. All right, to excuse yourself, 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.360 go to the White House bathroom. You think you're gonna, 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.440 you know, shake hands with the guy, get your picture taken, 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.720 and answer a question about you know, flower exports in 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.960 Ethiopia or whatever. No, he's going to answer questions about 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.880 every topic that has ever existed for two hours while 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:41.880 you sit there and smile, and none of them have 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.000 anything to do with you, right, So bring a book. 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:46.520 But he's doing that right now. If any more news 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:47.880 comes out of there, we will let you know. But 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.800 remember a while back, Trump was pretty interested in taking 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.320 Canada as a fifty first state. I think he would 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.920 if he had the opportunity, And we've explained why we 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:01.200 think that's a terrible idea because Canada makes Calumnia look 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.480 like Wyoming in terms of politics, and so we would 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:08.520 have another giant California that would throw off elections forever. 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:14.000 To that point, this story that is in the Juno 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:18.840 News today, new ethics code tells nurses in Canada to 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:26.040 denounce white European medicine. Wow. The Canada Nurses Association twenty 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.160 twenty five Code of Ethics for Nurses denounces what it 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.960 calls white European centric foundations of modern medicine and compels 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.680 nurses to adopt a broad set of radical, progressive political 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:41.320 beliefs as part of their professional duties as nurses. I'm 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.080 familiar with this in so many fields, and medicine is 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.080 rife with it, and the medical schools are continuing to 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:52.160 do the DEI stuff full speed ahead. They need to 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.680 align their conduct as nurses with a detailed set of 0:08:55.720 --> 0:09:00.520 political values, among them social justice, gender ideology, indigital belief 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.920 systems and climate activism. Nurses have to work in climate 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.880 activism into their job. How would you even do that? 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.960 Tell you what these people Their intent is to take 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:15.200 over society and take over its institutions. They got balls, man, 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.760 They are aggressive while they're doing this. They've been pretty 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.320 successful in a lot of quarters, like all of our schools, 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.440 and here they are successful in Canada with nurses. Nurses 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.720 are now required all across Canada to acknowledge the quote 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.880 historical and continuous impact that white European centric models of 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.520 nursing and health have had on the perpetuation of anti 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.240 indigenous racism, anti black racism, and other types of racism. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.480 Your point is well taken. But this bone, you can 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.240 see it sticking out of my arm and I'd really 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:51.880 like to get or put back together. Wow, that is 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.720 And I think people hear this stuff and think that 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.440 can't be true. I know, or there's something wrong here. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.840 You're exact. No, these people, they count on your niceness, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.840 and there are no nicer people than Canadians. They count 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.000 on your niceness. You're not going to stand up and 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.680 say you're a ludatic in a radical No, you can't 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.720 teach this. And they get over. And this isn't proposed, 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.600 this is now done. This is a dumb deal. So 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.000 I'll read that one paragraph again because I thought it 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.360 was so good. As of now twenty twenty five, nurses 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.360 need to align theirt conduct with a detailed set of 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.880 political values, among them social justice, gender ideology, indigenous belief systems, 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:42.439 and climate activism. That is so nuts. Yeah, I'm familiar 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.520 with this in the medical context, and that the radical 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:51.040 leftists want to dictate that you put tribal medical beliefs 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.440 on the same footing give it the same weight as 0:10:54.640 --> 0:11:00.360 carefully scientific method proved you know, double blind contry troll 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.880 group and experiment group drug trials for instance. Well, no, 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.560 if they believe that, you know, if you worship the 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.800 owl god that will take care of your cancer, you've 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.920 got to give that equal belief with like gene therapy, 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.720 I got an equal way. I got a bone sticking 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.760 through the skin. Let me run some corn meal on that. No, no, what, well, 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.400 it's a it's a traditional medicine. We'll rub some corn 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.720 meal on that and see, can I get Oh, white 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.439 guy wants his bone back in his arm? Okay, typical 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.000 colonial of pressure. Can I get some morphine instead of 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.920 corn meal. Oh mister European centric wants morphine for his 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:42.400 bone sticking out. Wow, Canada check yourself. Wow, that's some story. 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:50.320 Holy crap, um. John Stewart said something interesting. Donald Trump 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.520 truthed out something interesting on that very topic of the 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.320 late night shows going away. Maybe we'll get to that, 0:11:55.360 --> 0:12:06.160 among other things. How do you get cracked? 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.559 One of the things I don't want to do is 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:14.079 give it how to any more unlike myself that may 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.280 think that it's a good idea, but crack cocaine is 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.720 a I am fully aware when I'm talking about it 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.560 in relationship to my own experience with it. It is 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:30.000 a still a shocking thing for most people because we 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.840 have been fed this perception of crack cocaine. It's more 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.160 than just a drug. It's more than like if you 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.320 say math, or if you say heroin, or if you 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.360 say cocaine. It comes with a whole bunch of different baggage. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.880 And because of that, places that you can go get 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.640 it are some of the most dangerous places in whatever 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.720 location you happen to be, and it's everywhere. Mainly for 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.680 that reason, I learned how to make my own. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.040 He learned how to make his own crack. Well, I 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.600 respect his diy spirit there. It's funny that he's making 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.480 the argument. Look, cracks this terrible reputation. It's just not fair. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.120 It's just a drug. Is that what he's trying to say. 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.120 I couldn't quite follow him. Well, yeah, because crack has 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.240 such a bad reputation, you got to go to dangerous 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.840 parts of the town to get it that you wouldn't 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.679 for cocaine or math or whatever. I'd like to hear 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.120 more of his booze is more insidious than all the 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.600 other drugs he took argument as a drinking man, I'm 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.200 just kind of curious. Well, if you're an alcoholic, it is. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.240 If you're not, yeah, yeah, uh oh. Speaking of which, 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.240 Dove tailing off the Canadian nurses thing. Unless you add 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.079 more on Hunter, fascinating fellow. If you didn't hear our 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:39.760 previous segments of his long interview, he's a piece of crap. 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:43.120 He blames everybody for everything in his life. Hunter, you're 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:47.640 a loser and he's delusional anyway. Grab it via podcast 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.480 Armstrong and gettyon demanded. I thought this was interesting. Cato's 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:56.440 head of Medical Health Policy Studies is his name is 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.720 Michael Cannon, and he wrote Peace, pointing out that he 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.040 starts by saying the big beautiful bill is getting some 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:08.120 kickens because it would slow the growth of federal Medicaid 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.560 spending from four and a half to two point seven 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.880 percent annually, and for that reason, thousands will die. But 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.360 he makes the point that evidence for this is wanting 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:22.080 if Medicaid were a drug. If the program were a drug, 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:26.280 the federal government would not have approved it, and indeed, 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:30.280 salesmen might do prison time for claiming it saves lives. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.160 And they mentioned when LBJ signed Medicare and Medicaid into 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.760 law in nineteen sixty five, he said one of the 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.160 goals was to improve the health improve the health of 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:44.040 all Americans. If you claim that for a drug, the 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:49.240 FDA demands at least one, but usually two, successful randomized 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.880 control trials, which are the gold standard of that sort 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.240 of research. But he points out Congress has never demanded 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.800 a randomized controlled trial to investigate whether Medicare and Medicaid 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.960 I prove health, much less condition their existence on two 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:08.480 successful trials. And he points out that especially with Medicaid, 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.400 there have been a couple of studies that have found 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.200 you get more care if you're on Medicaid, but there's 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:20.040 no discernible improvement in your physical health. That's kind of 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.720 why I go to the doctor or any sort of 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:28.920 health care is for a discernible improvement health. Yeah, lacking 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.360 a discernible improvement. I'm not gonna bother. I'm gonna go 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:39.400 play golf. But it's kind of a funny thing, funny, funny, tragic, 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:43.680 horrifying that nobody ever asks, uh, does this actually help 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.720 people be healthier? I remember the stat years ago. I 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:48.480 don't know if it's still true, but it sounds like 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.120 it might be that you were better off without it 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:57.000 than with it. Yeah, I remember Craig the healthcare guru, 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.640 said you gotta be careful how you interpret that one. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.840 But there is no notable Uh you know. They're like 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.280 the Oregon study, which I think is what you're referring to. 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:12.600 It found that some non randomized studies likely overstated medicaids 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:17.320 potential health benefits and other ones cast down on it. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.640 But it doesn't doesn't clearly save lives and help people, 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.440 which is weird, encounterintuitive, and Canon gets into the reasons 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.320 why promptly because of all the weird incentives and disincentives 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:33.280 built into Medicaid in particular, And how doctors get paid 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.080 nothing for it? So they've got to overcharge people with 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.200 private health insurance. But how many billions dollar dollars does 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:44.480 it cost taxpayers for no discernible improvement? Oh, unspeakable amounts 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.920 of money. Since nineteen sixty five, we've spent forty five 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:54.080 trillion dollars without substantial evidence of effectiveness. Forty five trillion 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:59.040 dollars right right, Well, in all those weird provider taxes 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.200 that then go around the circle, then go back to 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.640 those providers as kind of a bribe from the states. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.880 I'm telling you, we got to break it all down 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.720 and start again. It's not gonna happen, but we ought to. Well, 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.159 Bernie and others want to make the entire healthcare system 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.800 that though you're how do you like that? 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:14.440 Oh? 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.320 My god, I hope that doesn't happen. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.040 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:26.400 Late Night TV is a struggling financial model. We're all 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:30.560 basically operating a Blockbuster Kiosk inside of. 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:41.119 A tower record. But when your. 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.320 Industry is faced with changes, you don't just call it 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:49.080 a day. My god, When cens stopped selling, they didn't 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.080 just go. Oh well, music, it's been a good run. 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.119 The fact that CBS didn't try to save their number 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.680 one rated network late night franchise that's been on the 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:04.440 air for over three decades is part of what's making 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:09.920 everybody wonder was this purely financial or maybe the path 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.600 of least resistance for your eight billion dollar merger. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.919 No, there's not no evidence of that. No, but I 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:26.120 don't know his examples. Musicians now make zero dollars off 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:30.560 of putting out an album unless they tour right. Times change, 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:35.000 models of revenue change, and there's no bringing it back 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:40.760 right in that thirty three years run, the world has 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:47.359 changed completely, John, in those thirty three years. Yeah, coming 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.879 up on a similar topic, you remember when Lindsay and 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.600 pluck Rose and Bogosian got those fake research papers published 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:58.879 in real journals, their grievance studies crap. They may have 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.800 met their equal. Stay tuned for the white man who 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.440 pretended to be black to get published. Oh, I can't 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:10.560 wait to hear this. So Trump truthed out something about 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.919 the late night shows. We'll just read it. The word is, 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:16.359 and it's a strong word. That Jimmy Kimmel is next 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.639 to go in the untalented late night Sweepstakes, and shortly 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.840 thereafter Fallon will be gone. These are people with absolutely 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:26.080 no talent, not true at all, who were paid millions 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.480 of dollars for, in cases, destroying what used to be 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.879 great television. It's really good to see them go. And 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.600 I hope I played a major part in it. That's 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.239 not the sitting president of the United States weighing in 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.840 on the cancelation of late night TV show hosts. Yes, yes, 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.480 oh my lord. I was watching what I don't remember. 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.160 I came across to Jimmy Fallon doing impersonations. He's one 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.520 of the most talented people that's ever been on television. 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.840 He really is. Oh yeah, he's a towering talent, god, unbelievable. 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:57.280 Seems like a good dude too. You know. It's funny. 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.520 As we are going to break a few min minutes ago, 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:05.360 Jack was looking around at the TVs and said, man, 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:10.760 this Colbert thinks getting so much attention. And then in 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.560 the conversation between Jack and executive producer Hanson myself, the 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:19.760 name Trump came up three four, five times. Immediately, that's 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:23.680 what it is. It's about Trump now, so everything is yeah, 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:28.320 that's the great ratings slash clickbait promotion still for virtually 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.919 all media, not us so much. But it's crazy, and 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.119 Colbert's going to get to go and be like the 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:40.800 hero of the Resistance until next May as the guy. 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:44.800 Their take on it is Trump forced him out of 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:46.719 his job, and so he's going to be bad mouthing 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.800 Trump more than ever and just be a hero, I 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:54.080 mean an epic status. Yeah. And I think CBS dopey 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.239 as they can be know this, And somebody from the 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.000 executive suites is now in the legal department saying, look, 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.320 take another look at that contract. Figure out how we 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.760 can cut this guy off and quit paying him. But 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.720 who knows, who knows, maybe they have an alternative plan. 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:10.440 But you're a hundred percent right. I mean, he's gonna 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:14.080 go full on scorched earth, poisonous for the rest of me. 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:16.720 He even one of his jokes last night, He even 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:20.600 said something about, like Jimmy maybe it was because I 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.359 don't remember what the setup was, because Seth Myers and 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.920 Jimmy Fallon were in the crowd and just different people 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:28.280 stuff like that, And he said, hey, hey, don't try 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:29.679 to get in on this. There's only a room for 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:31.360 one of us up on the cross and he put 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:32.880 his arms out, he said, and the view is great 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.040 from up here. I am going to be the martyr 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:37.720 for this cause. And that is true. That's gonna be 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:42.400 his role till next session, which is a long time. Wow. Wow, 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:47.800 there's ratings to go up. It's possible. Yeah, yeah. I 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.800 mean it's got the feel of a farewell tour to it. 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:55.119 There's a reason you're Ozzie's Osbourne claimed to be on 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:59.000 a farewell tour over and over again. Doesn't hurt ticket sales, 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:03.199 there's a hint. Anyway. I love this story. This is 0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:08.800 so good. A young poet pretended to be is a 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:12.920 white fellow. He pretended to be quote, a gender fluid 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:19.720 member of the Nigerian diaspora, and he wrote intentionally bad poems. 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:22.919 I don't know if we have any poets listening. Actually, 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.480 I know that we do have some poets listening and 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.600 creative writers, whether of short stories or novels. It's not 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:34.720 super easy to get published. This guy who claimed to 0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.240 be a gender fluid member of the Nigerian diaspora and 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:41.240 wrote intentionally bad poems got forty seven of them published. Wow, 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:45.080 hardly anybody turned him down how much luck had he 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:46.879 had when he was just a white guy trying to 0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:51.040 publish poems. Okay, so I'm going to read to you 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.800 some of his intentionally terrible poems. I gotta admit I'm 0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:57.360 not sure I could tell the difference between intentionally horrible 0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:02.440 and good. A lot of times poetry struggle with Okay, 0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:06.320 so I will quote River Page from the Free Press. 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:08.399 What you're about to read is a poem. Its title 0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:11.320 is unmentionable, but I can tell you it was nominated 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.120 for the twenty twenty five Best of the Net Award, 0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:16.399 which is meant to bring up and coming writers in 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:23.000 the indie scene some attention. Behold, and it's got lots 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:29.000 of like punctuation marks, especially question marks, and a bunch 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:33.600 of emojis as well. And then some words I can't say. 0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:39.280 But trust me when I say, I don't want to 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:41.440 say these words in front of like my buddies I've 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:43.800 known a long time and off the air. I'm not 0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:47.719 proud of this. I have a filthy mouth. Okay. So 0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:52.439 it's like beyond the pale for me to question or 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:56.720 not to question William Shakespeare's triple question Marks. Little I 0:23:56.720 --> 0:24:01.199 can't say that word, triple question mark, mail sign that 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:05.119 is the question I want Billy Bard triple question marks 0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:09.080 to spank question marks, my big question mark, juicy double 0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:13.000 question marks, Fanny triple question marks while he pens question 0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:17.520 his sexy triple question marks, sophisticated quadruple question marks, plays 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:23.880 quadruple question marks, no ex emoji, Edward de Vere cross 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:28.159 for question marks, conspiracy, triple question marks, female sign here 0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:33.440 close parentheses. If I'm lucky, question mark daddy, quadruple question 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:35.960 marks will dress me up, double question marks like one 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:38.880 of his stage players, double question marks, female sign double 0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:44.399 question marks and question marks and question my quadruple question marks. 0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:47.760 It's so. I mean, I've read like half of it. 0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:52.240 It is. I suppose it reminds me of the Lindsay 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:56.920 pluck Rose Bogosian brilliance, in which if you really really 0:24:57.040 --> 0:24:59.920 wanted to say, oh my god, this is so power. 0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:03.840 The study of rape culture at dog parks is really 0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:09.919 really heavy stuff. I guess I could see he uses 0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:13.480 the word slatiloquy. I don't think that's a word. And 0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:17.199 he's so and he's counting on that they'll be so 0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:24.840 excited about having a gender fluid Nigerian dea suppora poet 0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:29.120 win their prize or be published or whatever. Right, yeah, 0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:31.480 and river Page writes, if you're worried that I'm about 0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:33.600 to tell you why this poem is good and imply 0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:36.720
