How do 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.080 you lead the world with having that best instruction? 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:32.879 How do you lead the world having been out him 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:33.839 in the best healthcare role? 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.160 How do you lead the world without having the best education? 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:38.519 How do you lead the world and you don't have 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:39.120 that done? 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.680 Oh my god, is there a transcript? 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:47.920 Okay, so we'll get back to our very very Catholic 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.960 former president and just second, so we got some Pope 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.080 stuff coming up this hour. We got a late night 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.360 joke Pope off or Pope joke off, because they all 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:57.320 make jokes about the Pope. 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.840 I'm un comfortable with that phrase. Go on. Yeah, you 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:02.680 gotta be very careful. 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.919 I should say it's slower than for instance, Biden talked 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:05.959 just a moment ago. 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.880 Actually that was a Biden esque delivery. 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.960 We won the Pope World Cup USA USA. So we 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.040 got some stuff on that coming up a little bit later. 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:19.720 But we brought you Mark Alpern's reporting last hour. Why 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.120 is Joe Biden on the view why did he do 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.600 it interview at the BBC last weekend? Why was he 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.080 on the View yesterday talking about his memoirs. They are broke. 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:32.880 The family is broke, the Biden crime family who got 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.040 into government, probably for good reasons eventually and then decided, hey, 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:37.560 we can all live like we're wealthy the. 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:38.560 Rest of our lives. 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.560 Apparently spent every set they made or had coming in 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:47.000 and they are broke. So they're getting no speech offers. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.280 So the idea bet they had budgeted substantially. I mean, 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.960 how much money did Hillary Clinton make? And Bill my god, 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.960 they brought in tens of millions of Donald Well Halprin. 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.480 Actually used the figure of eight hundred thousand dollars a speech. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:02.960 A speech offers. 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.760 That's the sort of thing you get when you're an 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:06.520 ex president. 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.160 Yes, yes, and yes, and he's. 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.520 Getting better if you're running a phony foundation. Yes, all right, right, 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.200 and he's getting zero of those. 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:15.680 You're right. 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.040 So they had counted on, oh, well, you know, my 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.720 my retirement, I'll you know, I'll do ten of the 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.920 easy year or whatever, and we'll continue to have our 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.440 lakeside homes and ocean side this and that and. 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.079 Play that clip again. So listen to this. This is 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.160 the guy. So you got two things. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.639 You've got the damage he's doing to himself and the 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.200 party and a reputation and all. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.640 That sort of stuff. But this is the This guy's 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.080 gonna come give a speech. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:46.799 All the the project, the benefits. How do you lead 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.000 the world having best instructions? How do you need the 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:50.800 world having been out the best healthcare? 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:51.160 Wow? 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.480 How do you need the world without having the best education? 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.360 How do you lead the world and you have that done? 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.520 Wow? Yeah. 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:03.880 So they're appears to be a triumvirate of motivations here. 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.160 And I use that word to sound fancy. It means 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.720 three of something after number one. They are desperate for 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:15.440 the cash. That is fascinating. Smart Calprin does not make 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.960 stuff you're so excited about that. I know that is 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:18.960 a character flaws. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.240 It is it is, And now with a new American pope, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:25.120 I should be more magnanimous. But I'm going to enjoy 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:26.760 this watching this unfold. 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.440 Well, if you're gonna send, get your money's worth right anyway. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.440 So that is clearly one of the motivations. 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:40.119 The second one is to shape his legacy, because if 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.920 you look around and just kind of you know, put 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.000 your nose in the air and your finger in the air, 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.880 and then look and listen. How's how's the old legacy 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.080 taking shape of You would not like what you're hearing 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.360 at all, So they've decided to go on the offensive. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.720 And to that end, I think this is the best 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:05.080 time for that. This is long, but I don't think 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.400 you get a full appreciation of how sad it is 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.800 without the length. So Michael, go ahead and enroll eighty three. 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.080 This is from the Unwatchable the view the other. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.320 Day, mister President. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.400 Since you left office, there have been a number of 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.160 books that have come out, deeply sourced from democratic sources, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.799 that claim in your final year there was a dramatic 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:28.240 decline in your cognitive abilities in the final year of 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.440 your presidency. What is your response to these allegations? Are 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:32.359 these sources wrong? 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:38.120 They are wrong. There's nothing to sustain that number one. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.440 Number two, You know, think. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:41.760 Of what we're left with. 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.279 We left for the circumstance where we had an insurrection, 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:52.080 I started nonsense of civil war. We had a circumstance 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:57.160 where we are in a position that well in the 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.200 pandemic because of the incompetence of the last out fit 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.120 end up over a million people dying, million people dying. 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.320 And we're also in a situation where we found ourselves 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.279 unable to deal with a lot of just basic issues. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.160 And I won't go into him in interest thoughts. And 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.679 so we went to work and we got it done. 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:24.719 And you know, one of the things that that well, I'm. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.320 Well and listen, you know, one of the things I 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.080 think is that the people who wrote those books were 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.039 not in the White House with us, and they didn't 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:39.120 see how hard Joe worked every single day. I mean 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.400 he'd get up, he put in a full day, and 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.640 then at night he would I'd be in bed, you know, 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.880 reading my book, and he was still on the phone. 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:55.200 She has to take over answering. Everybody says, you're senile, 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.039 what's the story? Because he can't answer. 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.080 It, well, he launches into some completely irrelevant things that 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:02.520 have nothing to do with the question. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.800 And while he's talking some of the. 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.120 Go to cliches. We got the job done, we got 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.800 to work. We did the work, all right, We'll last outfit. 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.599 So not to lean on this too much, but Mark 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:24.080 Calpernon went on in his commentary on this on the view, 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.360 Joe Biden denied that she limited access to her husband 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.400 while he was president. Her denials quote are just not 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.520 true on the face of it, but that's what she said. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.240 Joe Biden said if he would have won, if he'd 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.040 ha stayed on the ticket. There's no evidence of that anywhere, 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.159 says Mark Calprin. Did he help whatever goals he has 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.880 by going on the View? I can see no discernible 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.919 way in which that appearance helped him. That's the crazy 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:54.400 part that there's nobody to tell them you're only making 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.720 things worse. It made things worse on BBC than three 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.120 days later you go on the View and he made 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.239 things worse again. And if you're planning to do sixty 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.840 minutes or I don't know what your next plan is, 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.200 you're gonna make it even worse. 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:10.840 So the third leg of this stool of delusion, as 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.280 pointed out by JT and Livermore, Joe Biden has zero 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.440 remaining loyalty to the Democratic Party after he is backstabbed 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:22.440 by all his closest friends Pelusy and Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, Clooney, 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:23.200 et cetera. 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.560 Backstabb I don't know if that's fair. I mean, it's 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.560 it's somewhat accurate. 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:31.400 But they would have been really bad Americans to that 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:32.640 force him out. 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.120 Yeah, that's a fair point, right, And then he writes, Oh, 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.120 and he sent along this headline from Radar Online. Joe 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:43.440 Biden's thirty million dollar revenge explosive secret White House Diaries 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.560 could be turned into tell all book with Joe's enemies 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:47.840 in her sights. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.920 Dear Diary. Joe wandered off again tonight. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.800 Yeah, even absence the enemy's list, nobody in the Biden 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.640 family seems to have any limit on what they'll do 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.280 for money. This embarrassing array of interviews is just a 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.960 shameless Blney stunt designed to increase interest in the behind 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.880 the scenes details of the Biden train wreck that was 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.840 the Biden presidency. And if you need further proof, JT writes, 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.760 look at Jill's first prepared statement following one of Biden's 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.600 many failed utterances. Jill claimed the quote, none of the 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.000 books to date were from people in the White House. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.880 I was in that clip we just played. That's a 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:21.640 pretty odd. 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.360 Thing to say, especially since some of the details have 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.360 come from people like ron Klain, Biden's chief of staff. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.880 And he points out that is also something you might 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.439 say if you're planning to endorse or write an insider's 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.800 account saying none of these other accounts were from insiders. 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:40.360 Even though they all were. 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:48.320 So Yeah, so it's greed slash desperation for cash, legacy shaping, 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.360 and the final vengeance from beyond the grave. 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.880 I'm oh, I'm told still short of the grave? All right? 0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:00.400 Come on, vengeance from just short of the grave. That's 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:05.040 the three legged stool of Biden delusion, vengeance grave adjacent. 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.000 Exactly if I can let go of my glee for 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.280 a little bit and bring out some humanity which must 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.280 be in there somewhere, it is wondered. Is it is 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.920 really kind of sad? I mean he worked hard every day. 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.199 I'm sure he did. There are a lot of dementia 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.120 ridden old people getting up and trying their hardest. They 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.680 just can't function because brains don't work anymore. 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:31.240 Well. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.640 And if you take the gig of lotus, yeah, you're 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:35.960 gonna do some work you ought to. 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:37.800 Yeah, I'm sure he was off to my neck. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.640 I'm sure he was up late reading and it made 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.000 no dent in his brain because his brain no longer 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:44.240 can hold onto this stuff. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:45.800 Yeah. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.559 Yeah, what was the clip we played? Yesterday to get 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:53.440 into the deal.

I wanted 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.440 to mention this because we haven't mentioned this yet. 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.440 Trump it looks like is backing off the whole Chinese 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.960 tariffs thing. Exclusive story from the New York Post broke yesterday. 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.360 Now there's some reporting to back it up. The Trump 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.160 administration is weighing a plan to slash the one hundred 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.280 and forty five percent tariff by more than half as 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:50.840 soon as Monday. 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:52.280 Oh boy. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:56.240 So, like Joe said earlier, maybe this was the plan 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.680 all along. And you know, when you're negotiating, you have 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.559 to keep your cards closed. Or it wasn't and he's 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.520 getting rattler who knows what. But so it doesn't look 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.000 like we're gonna be doing this for long. 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.560 They are making a hell of a lot of noise 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:15.120 about a very low hanging fruit deal with the Brits 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.600 another example of maybe some rethinking going on. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:19.520 But more on that to come. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.880 So I got whooping cough. I got diagnosed by the 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.320 doctor yesterday. I have heard of whooping cough, and when 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.640 my kids were little, I was really aware that it's 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.440 a really bad thing for your kids to get. 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.080 But I've never thought about whooping cough in my life. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.319 I don't think I've ever known in another adult who 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.679 had whooping cough. It's got kind of an old timey 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.719 I'm a gold pantered sound to it, you know, from 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:40.480 the eighteen. 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:41.280 Fifties, whooping cough. 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.760 But I got whooping cough, and so I got some 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.400 information on it from the doctor from you know, your 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.720 best site, CDC, and uh, what's that the doctor up 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.560 the place up there in Minnesota. I've actually been Thereo Clinic, 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:58.800 Mayo Clinic. You're whooping cough incredibly contagious, and we got 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.240 a lot more of it here in twenty two, twenty 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.480 five than we do have most years. Unfortunately, it's really 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.640 really contagious. I'm past the contagious part to thank God. 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.920 So I'm glad Michael you didn't get it three weeks 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:09.960 ago when I was contagious. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.040 I've had it for over a month. 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.880 Most people who say it's the worst cough of their lives, well, 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.160 that's fantastic. H can last for up to ten weeks, 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.320 so two and a half months, so I'm over a 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:21.920 month in, but. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.240 I might be not even halfway there. Here's the best 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:25.960 part that I like. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.199 The cough generally gets worse and becomes more common as 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.440 you go along, So my cough is going to get 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.520 stronger and more prevalent as I get further. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:37.439 Into the two and a half months. 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.959 If it ends up going that direction, y it's called 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.000 whooping cough because you make a high pitched woof when 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.080 you inhale after a coughing fit, and I have done that. 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:45.600 I mentioned I was laying in bed the other day 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.319 and I kept hearing this weird wi wei and I 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.160 was like, where is that coming from? It was my lungs. 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:52.400 I didn't even realize it. 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:54.520 And many people you have. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.560 A horse who lives in your guest bedroom, sometimes he winies. 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.640 Many people vomit during or after a coughing fit, so 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.560 that's fun. If you're at somebody's house and you go 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.319 to coughing like crazy and then vombit all over. 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.000 That's a funny. 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:12.360 Guest tech, thanks for coming by. It makes you very 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.600 tired after a coughing fit. You'll have difficulty sleeping at night. 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.320 I did not sleep one minute last night. People struggled 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.160 to breathe. It's not uncommon at all to break a 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.320 rib while you're doing this. 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.120 You should. I just found this out yesterday. 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.840 If you haven't had your tea DAP since you were 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.560 like twelve years older the last time you got it 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.720 that shot because my son just had his couple of 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:35.080 weeks ago. 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.840 Actually, you should get another one. 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.560 I'm supposed to get another one and I'll keep you 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:39.960 from getting this freaking whooping cough. 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.760 You don't want it. It's really unpleasant. 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.840 Yeah, my doc mentioned it to me the last time 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.720 I saw him, and I just have dragged my feet 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.160 just you know, it's just the right time to call 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:50.600 up and didn't get you right. 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:52.720 That's just I mean, it's just the way you live 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.960 your life, Joe. You're not running into people all the time. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.280 We have freaking whooping cough, at least I'm not. 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.440 I never have Yeah, it's funny. 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.920 I dragged my feet on getting these shingles vaccine as 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:04.840 an older fellow until a good friend of mine got 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.600 an absolutely tortuous case of it. So that's that's the 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.000 function my friends have for me. I use my friends 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.880 like miners use canaries in colt. Let me know what 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.920 terrible diseases are about, right to protect me. 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.800 That's right. I almost went down the other day. I 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.520 had a coughing fit and I just could not stop. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:25.560 But I haven't vomited yet. 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.320 Oh my god, what a horrible symptom that is hanging 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.280 around in a backyard barbecue. Don't worry, I'm not contagious. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.520 Cough cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, some more vomit. 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:41.720 Wow, and then pick comes out or something. Yeah, it's interesting. 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.520 It's it's combined with diphtheria and titanus, which is uh. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.280 I mean, tetanus is obviously not you know, some sort 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.720 of it's a disease, I guess, but it's so different anyway. 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.160 Uh, I gotta go get jabs. Thanks for the recommendation. Yeah, 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.000 I who knew? And do you? 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.440 CDC recommends adults get follow up doses every decade. 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.720 Well, I haven't had one since I was My mom said, 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.120 I got you the shot when you were a baby, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.920 which I'm glad you did. That was sixty years ago, 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.480 so apparently I'm behind you said. There's more of it 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.840 going on right now, though, So why is that? Yeah, 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.200 the cases have doubled in the last year. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.280 Whooping cough tends to peek in the spring and fall, 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:23.280 usually spread through respiratory droplets. Experts say the outbreaks of 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:28.080 vaccine preventable illnesses again that word is provincial, like measles 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.720 and whooping cough, could be indicative of changing attitudes toward vaccines. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.240 US kindergarten vaccination rates fell last year and the number 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.400 of children with vaccine exemptions. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.240 Hitting all time high. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.400 So, yeah, you got measles and pertussis, which is the 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:44.560 real name for ooping cough. 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.680 I think I'm going to call pertussis. That sounds better 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:47.480 than whooping cough. 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.600 Yeah, it is kind of an old timy nickname because 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.800 back in the in the Prairie they didn't know exactly 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:54.880 how to describe it. 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.880 Yeah, well, the whoop or you can get coughed on 0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.480 by a disc jockey, that might be the way you 0:16:59.480 --> 0:16:59.760 get it. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.800 I hope. I didn't get it to anybody. 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.600 Interestingly, if you ever use that term again, I'll give 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:09.320 you something'll whoop about. Here's this doctor at the Children's 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.399 Hospital of Philadelphia pointing out when you fall below a 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.840 ninety five percent for vaccinations, you lose herd immunity protection. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.719 Wow. Keep it in mind, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.960 I don't think you can have comparison to a sporting event, 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.240 a concert, a political rally. There was nothing like that. 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.160 And there was a moment where you found folks who 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.359 were and they're dealing with a mix of emotions. You 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.840 have people are still feeling Pope Francis's laws, so they're 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.359 in tears and yet smiles all at the same time. 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.239 It was it's difficult still to describe it. 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:46.240 The reaction of people, and then the reaction of the 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:50.600 media to the whole Pulpe story has got me somewhat perplexed. 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.720 I just wonder if there's a longing out there for 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.960 something like this, whether it's God or religion or tradition 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:03.880 or something more solid than a tweet. 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.200 I don't I don't know what it is. Such an 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.280 intriguing question. I don't know. 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.480 I guess I had just been attributing the enormous amount 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.399 of attention to it. Well, Catholicism is still you know, 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:20.639 the world's just religion, and the mainstream media full of 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.119 lemmings who just do what they think they're supposed to do. 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:28.000 And and you've always covered pope choosings and the rest 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.440 of it people conclaves whatever, or. 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:31.840 Pope choosings if you prefer. 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.720 But I think you strike at a really really interesting question. 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.040 I don't know, I need to contemplate it perfectly. 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:45.320 How does the rest of the world feel about an 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.440 American pope? I was just watching some video up there 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:48.440 of like kids in. 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.280 Don't feel what we tell them to feel. That's the 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:55.240 way that was belligerent. That that was belligerent and appropriate. 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.399 So I was watching kids in Catholic schools across the 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:01.000 United States just cheering like crazy and waving flags and 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.920 stuff like that. And one of the reasons there's never 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.640 been an American pope one we're very new country by 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.280 Catholic Church standards, since. 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.080 It's been around for over two thousand years, and. 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:20.160 Just the idea of the United States dominating everything, military, economy, culture, 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:21.520 and now you got the pope. 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.560 I think just often seemed like too much, but here 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:25.840 we are. Yeah, I get that. 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.480 Of course, it was the big news of the day 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.240 for the late night comics. Also an exciting day for 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.160 Joe's got to make up the rules to the rules? 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.400 Well right, yeah, it's a late night joke off. We've 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.280 got multiple comedians doing jokes on the same topic. I 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.679 joke Eddy will grade each of their efforts in the 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.840 bottom grade. Getter will be banned from comedy for life, deservedly, 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:51.080
