Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty. I just
Speaker 2: came across this. I was perusing various Twitter feeds, came
Speaker 2: across Ian Bremer's and he tweeted out. He said, from
Speaker 2: my pal Freed Zakaria, who is due too has a
Speaker 2: show on CNN. They're friends. He said, As someone who
Speaker 2: has criticized much of Trump's chaotic and counterproductive foreign policy,
Speaker 2: I would not hesitate to nominate nominate him for a
Speaker 2: Nobel Peace Prize. And that's around the Israel Hamas Palestinian situation.
Speaker 2: And Ian Bremer said of that, seconded by me, So
Speaker 2: there's two prominent lefty, big time Trump criticizers who think
Speaker 2: he should be winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Interesting.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's the Hamas conflict or more the
Speaker 1: bringing together the Gulf States?
Speaker 2: And is yeah the whole thing, all of it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, far from over. But yeah, interesting, wouldn't
Speaker 1: that be something?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh, yet Trump's biggest critics would hate that so much.
Speaker 1: Trump is the most mixed mixed bag.
Speaker 2: In political history.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm looking at what we're letting the Houthies get
Speaker 1: away with right now.
Speaker 2: It's horrible. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And Trump's like, well, as long as they leave us
Speaker 1: ships alone, it's not our problem. I think he's wildly wrong,
Speaker 1: completely wrong. Uh, there's more to it than that. The
Speaker 1: Euros need to do better and step up. But the
Speaker 1: idea that we just each country protects its own ships
Speaker 1: and we let the houthis close down the most productive
Speaker 1: shipping lane on Earth.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: And Trump's copper tariffs is inexplicable. It's bizarre. I don't
Speaker 1: know what he's doing. There's a thing with Brazil that
Speaker 1: I think is insane. On the other hand, the good
Speaker 1: stuff is so good. I can hardly believe it's happening.
Speaker 1: What he said about weapons of Ukraine. He told NBC
Speaker 1: this in an interview. That will run and meet the press.
Speaker 1: We'll have that for you after we do this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one more thing. It's not clear to me yet, the
Speaker 1: whole Zoran mom Donnie thing. It might be a flash
Speaker 1: in the pan and people say who in like two years,
Speaker 1: or it could be one of the biggest political movements
Speaker 1: on the left we've seen for a very long time.
Speaker 2: I don't tell you why I'm saying. I do think
Speaker 2: he's gonna end up mayor in New York. But yeah,
Speaker 2: well it could be more than that. But to stay
Speaker 2: with us, please. But first, it's the Friday tradition. It's
Speaker 2: time to take fond look back at the week it was.
Speaker 1: It's cow clips of the weekd of the Gorilla, Henry Whips.
Speaker 3: Of the Week.
Speaker 2: You guys need to get off the board. You're not
Speaker 2: scaring anybody. Come on, man, yes, man, I wish I
Speaker 2: ate a couple more. I'm sorry, guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I exceeded ots by twenty five percent, retaining customer growth.
Speaker 4: The TSA saying effective immediately, all passengers will be able
Speaker 4: to keep their shoes on through security. The company saying
Speaker 4: some individually wrapped crackers may be incorrectly labeled as cheese
Speaker 4: that may have peanut butter inside.
Speaker 5: He go guy.
Speaker 2: They called this area flash flood Alley.
Speaker 1: Four months of rain fell in a matter of hours.
Speaker 4: My god.
Speaker 5: Right now they're popping off deer gas canisters and folks
Speaker 5: are just running like crazy and it's just chaos out here.
Speaker 1: The FBI is offering fifty grand to anyone who helps
Speaker 1: them identify and convict a pro who allegedly fired a
Speaker 1: gun at federal immigration officers. I think different. I have
Speaker 1: lovely lines. What are you talking anyway?
Speaker 2: Elon Musk vow to retrain his AI system known as GROC.
Speaker 1: Those changes appear to have prompted Grok to use some
Speaker 1: anti Semitic tropes.
Speaker 4: Elon Musk breaking even more from President Trump, saying he
Speaker 4: will create the America Party.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have a UFC fight. We're gonna have a
Speaker 2: UFC fight. Think of this on the grounds of the
Speaker 2: White House.
Speaker 3: The letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee, it's
Speaker 3: momon in you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved.
Speaker 3: We get a lot of emotion thrown at us by
Speaker 3: poop the.
Speaker 4: Russian leader unleashing his largest aerials sold yet on Ukraine.
Speaker 2: So who are last week?
Speaker 3: I don't know what? Don't you tell me?
Speaker 6: What does it say that such a big decision could
Speaker 6: be made inside your government without you knowing?
Speaker 3: I would know if a decision was made. I will know.
Speaker 4: President Trump now saying the US will resume weaponship ins
Speaker 4: to Ukraine.
Speaker 7: Hey, come on, man, how about that?
Speaker 2: What was the tuneless singing at the end. Wow, all
Speaker 2: those people pouring out their love to Ozzie and then
Speaker 2: Joe attacks him like that.
Speaker 1: Well, honestly, it was fairly terrible in his elderly ears.
Speaker 2: And we never did get to this. So and you
Speaker 2: heard a little bit of eclipse of the week. So
Speaker 2: originally Trump was asked several days back about the whole
Speaker 2: pause and weapons to Ukraine. He said he didn't order it.
Speaker 2: Who did? I don't know? You tell me. Then he
Speaker 2: was asked more about it. I like clips sixty three there, Michael,
Speaker 2: and I heard this decoded. It doesn't make any sense
Speaker 2: when you hear it the first time. Go ahead.
Speaker 6: So yesterday you said that you were not sure who
Speaker 6: ordered the munitions halted to Ukraine. Have you since been
Speaker 6: able to figure that out?
Speaker 3: Well, I haven't thought about it, because we're looking at
Speaker 3: Ukraine right now and munitions. But I no, I have
Speaker 3: not gotten into it.
Speaker 6: What does it say that such a big decision could
Speaker 6: be made inside your government without your knowing.
Speaker 3: I would know if a decision was made. I will know.
Speaker 3: I'll be the first to know. In fact, most likely
Speaker 3: I'd give the order. But I haven't done that yet.
Speaker 2: So that was a typical Trump like nonsensical statement. You know,
Speaker 2: he is so good at that, and he gets away
Speaker 2: with it in a way that nobody else can for
Speaker 2: some reason, I.
Speaker 1: Think partly because people think, how to hell with this?
Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 2: So Joe Scarborough the other day on MSNBC said that
Speaker 2: was that message from Trump was to heg Zepp and others.
Speaker 2: Decisions this big do not get made by anybody but me.
Speaker 2: That's what the point of that convoluted statement was.
Speaker 1: Ah, and with an unspoken because Trump often will fire people,
Speaker 1: but he waits till you know, the heat is off.
Speaker 1: Then he you know, so he's not seen as reacting,
Speaker 1: but he was absolutely saying you will be canned if
Speaker 1: you do that again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what Scarborough said. He said, I think it
Speaker 2: was a decisions like that only I make decisions like that,
Speaker 2: and if anybody makes a decision like that again without
Speaker 2: my knowledge, they will be going which.
Speaker 1: And maybe the people who already did it are going
Speaker 1: to is my point. That was so convoluted nobody could
Speaker 1: possibly follow it.
Speaker 2: And I apologize.
Speaker 1: But yeah, interesting, Yeah, that's fine that this sort of
Speaker 1: wrestling for power and influence and the flow of decision making.
Speaker 1: It happens in every White House. It's just a little
Speaker 1: more public than Trump's.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if books will ever be written
Speaker 2: about any of this, because, as I've said many many times,
Speaker 2: Trump uniquely kind of just everything is in his own head.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's having He's not like writing
Speaker 2: a lot of books about this or any I don't
Speaker 2: know if he's having long discussions with people. I think
Speaker 2: this is all inside his own head. How did it
Speaker 2: take him so long to figure out what Putin was
Speaker 2: and come to this decision? Anyway? Trump does an interview
Speaker 2: with Christian Walker, which will air in its entirety on
Speaker 2: Meet the Press on Sunday, but parts of it have
Speaker 2: already come out and promos by NBC. Trump previewed that
Speaker 2: he would make a major statement on Russia on Monday,
Speaker 2: with no additional detail. Yet, I'm disappointed in Russia, he
Speaker 2: said a major statement to make on Russia on Monday.
Speaker 2: So the fact he said I'm disappointed and I've got
Speaker 2: a major statement to me means that it's going to
Speaker 2: be about that. Sure, you know, in time?
Speaker 1: Was he ever appointed? That's been my my.
Speaker 2: Question all along?
Speaker 1: How are you disappointed in Putin? He did precisely what
Speaker 1: Putin does and always has.
Speaker 2: You're disappointed? How are you ever appointed? And also this
Speaker 2: asked about I.
Speaker 1: Mean being disappointed in my dog for not passing a
Speaker 1: calculus test. How the hell did I ever have the
Speaker 1: idea that he would? But again, Trump is Trump.
Speaker 2: Very much like that. It's exactly like that. Also asked
Speaker 2: about weapons for Ukraine. Uh, we're sending weapons to NATO,
Speaker 2: Trump said, And NATO is paying for those weapons one
Speaker 2: hundred percent. The President told NBC We're going to be
Speaker 2: sending patriots to NATO, and the NATO will distribute that.
Speaker 2: So the patriot missiles we are going to be providing,
Speaker 2: I guess. And what the big announcement is on Monday.
Speaker 2: I assume it's going to be about the sanction. So okay,
Speaker 2: and a whole bunch of people died in Ukraine last night,
Speaker 2: with a continued onslaught from Putin. He is not backing
Speaker 2: down at all. Where this is going. I don't know
Speaker 2: Putin assassinated. I think we got a clip about this,
Speaker 2: but Putin's people, I'm sure Putin called the shot. Assassinated
Speaker 2: a top Ukrainian spy in Kiev the other day. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you've seen that video, the guy's walking
Speaker 2: out of his apartment complex there in Kiev looks like
Speaker 2: a neighborhood committee. Or in the United States, somebody runs
Speaker 2: up with a gun, shoots him five times, sticks a
Speaker 2: gun in the shorts, and runs off. Wow. And Ukraine,
Speaker 2: if you don't remember, has assassinated a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: people in Moscow, a couple of generals, a couple of
Speaker 2: people in charge of various munitions, things that they took
Speaker 2: out over the last year. So both sides can reach
Speaker 2: the other side, I guess they really want to. But
Speaker 2: the main point being, Butensnome showing zero signs of backing down.
Speaker 2: In fact, he's ramping up, so I don't I don't
Speaker 2: know where that's going.
Speaker 1: Also, this hour is Mundami the kamie just getting started.
Speaker 2: The comment it's the first time I've heard anybody say that. Really,
Speaker 2: that's a plus.
Speaker 1: Speaking of communists, Harvard is exploring a new center for
Speaker 1: conservative scholarship to counter well to reach a settlement with
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Interesting stuff. I've heard a number of
Speaker 1: pundits who are usually fairly careful about throwing around terms
Speaker 1: like communists say Mandami is a communist government run grocery stores,
Speaker 1: and we're going to seize the means of production. What
Speaker 1: else do you need? New York is going to elect
Speaker 1: an actual communist as mayor and perhaps several more.
Speaker 2: Wow, that is something among other things on the way
Speaker 2: stay here.
Speaker 5: America is reportedly on the verge of a French fries
Speaker 5: shortage for real because of all the cold, wet weather
Speaker 5: this year, fewer potatoes are expected. This really tells you
Speaker 5: all you need to know about how we eat in
Speaker 5: this country. The two artist foods in America to get
Speaker 5: are French fries in the popeye'es chicken Satewe.
Speaker 2: It's National French Fry Day, which means nothing what it is.
Speaker 2: We talked a little bit about this yesterday. Sunday is
Speaker 2: the one year anniversary of Trump nearly having his head
Speaker 2: blown off by an assassin, and it's making me remember
Speaker 2: that cold, crazy period. It would it had been just
Speaker 2: what ten days after Biden blew up his presidency with
Speaker 2: that debate. So Trump gets shot on a set. Is
Speaker 2: this one of those episodes where you can remember where
Speaker 2: you were? Do you remember where you were when you
Speaker 2: got the news? Anybody? Yeah? I do you do?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I was on the freeway and my friend called me, Yeah,
Speaker 2: did somebody in our text chain alert us?
Speaker 5: All?
Speaker 2: I think that's how I found out. I think it
Speaker 2: was me. Actually, yeah, I think it was you too, Michael. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I flipped on the television and started watching, and like,
Speaker 2: I think I got on the TV before he was
Speaker 2: even on his feet. But yeah, I absolutely remember where
Speaker 2: I was. And then my son, who suffers from all
Speaker 2: kinds of anxiety everything, was running around the house in
Speaker 2: a panic and worried something was going to happen to us.
Speaker 2: I had to calm him down. But yeah, and then
Speaker 2: within a couple of hours, I was on a bunch
Speaker 2: of different radio stations because Glored knows people need my
Speaker 2: punditry after a major historical event like that. But it
Speaker 2: was the next freaking day that Joe and I got
Speaker 2: on airplanes and flew to the convention, which is just stunning.
Speaker 2: I mean that all that happened in that period of time,
Speaker 2: And I remember I was sitting next to a guy
Speaker 2: who does security who had a T shirt.
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours later was wearing a T shirt that
Speaker 1: had a picture of Trump with the bloody face and the.
Speaker 2: Fist in the air. Quickly that stuff got out there.
Speaker 1: And then two days later, after he gets shot, he
Speaker 1: walks into that arena in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2: We were there, and the crowd goes nuts those two
Speaker 2: days after.
Speaker 3: I mean, that.
Speaker 2: Period of time at the USA Today's that's the front
Speaker 2: page story today. Just kind of looking back on that
Speaker 2: and interviewing various historians, so like, wear this ranks is
Speaker 2: major events in US history because it's just a stunning
Speaker 2: little period of time. Yeah, I mean, you can't overstate
Speaker 2: its power and significance, and a bunch of the historians
Speaker 2: saying and it continues to this day, and how it
Speaker 2: brought in, really brought in Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg
Speaker 2: and a number of other people they quote who brought
Speaker 2: them in, if not completely into the fold, like Elon Musk,
Speaker 2: but like much closer to Trump, just for a variety
Speaker 2: of like human emotion reasons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And as you've pointed out more than once. You know,
Speaker 1: there's the expression the dog that didn't park, it was
Speaker 1: the nuclear bomb that didn't go off. Trump not being
Speaker 1: murdered on live TV. I mean, just I you can't imagine.
Speaker 1: You can, you can take a shot at it, but
Speaker 1: you can't imagine the chaos, the ugliness, the horror, the
Speaker 1: instability that could have echoed for decades.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yes, yeah. But he walked into the
Speaker 2: arena two days later, didn't say anything. Remember, they just
Speaker 2: announced him and he came in and he had the
Speaker 2: big bandage on his ear and the crowd went nuts.
Speaker 2: And he had he looked, he looked affected. And then
Speaker 2: by Thursday we were we were there for that. I left.
Speaker 2: I went over and had some key lime pie at
Speaker 2: the restaurant run around the corner from the building. It's
Speaker 2: not surprising as a gay. Now, Uh, go ahead, you
Speaker 2: see did you use your pocket fork? I have my
Speaker 2: fork right here, I have my keep it normal. That
Speaker 2: is not even it's not normal. It's not normal to
Speaker 2: carry a fork with you, a big metal fork, come
Speaker 2: in contact with a pie. But I remember he gave
Speaker 2: that speech. That was what the It was the longest
Speaker 2: speech anybody'd ever given for an A nomination acceptance. It's
Speaker 2: like two hours long, hour and forty five. It was
Speaker 2: something insanely long. It was so long.
Speaker 1: I listened to an hour of it, caught an over,
Speaker 1: got back to the hotel, turned on the TV and
Speaker 1: he was just getting warmed up.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's not a crazy beach. And he
Speaker 2: walked over there and he hugged the firefighter. Yeah, oh man. Else,
Speaker 2: the whole the whole week was just it's surreal. It
Speaker 2: really was.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of one year
Speaker 2: anniversary look backs over the next week or whatever. But
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring it up just because the shooting
Speaker 2: was a year on Sunday. Holy crap, what an event
Speaker 2: in US history. And like I said yesterday, not one
Speaker 2: in a million people would have reacted the way he
Speaker 2: reacted in that circumstance. He's just such a unique individual.
Speaker 2: We have more to commons to hear.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8: Everything is what you put into it. And there's an
Speaker 8: expression in tech which is garbage in, garbage out, and
Speaker 8: that's really what's happening here. If you program it a
Speaker 8: certain way, it will respond in a certain way. AI
Speaker 8: is people. If you really think about it's data about people,
Speaker 8: and whatever you tune it to do, it will do.
Speaker 2: Huh. Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: It's like an extremely impressionable child. But it seems it
Speaker 1: can pick up anything, any habit, any idea.
Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting and interesting thought but it's you know
Speaker 2: the fact that Elon had called out Google for their
Speaker 2: AI being so woke, and he was trying really hard
Speaker 2: to not have his AI be influenced by people, and then.
Speaker 1: It drew a toothbrush mustache and started to command Germany
Speaker 1: in essence.
Speaker 2: Anyway, here's a little more of that person on CNN
Speaker 2: talking about AI and Elon.
Speaker 8: He's building something else here that has to do with
Speaker 8: the data and the information collected and using it for
Speaker 8: various things. They just linked up Tesla with Groc, and
Speaker 8: so you're starting to see sort of what's coming into view,
Speaker 8: which is he's trying to create an AI that does
Speaker 8: things for you but is not focused on Twitter anymore.
Speaker 2: Really, there's Groc in my cyber truck. What is it
Speaker 2: going to be doing? Trying to keeping you, trying to
Speaker 2: convince me that you aind the Nazi Party. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I need now. Yes, we're working
Speaker 2: on that demit, Yeah, I don't know. I could see
Speaker 2: it being useful in a variety of ways, but how
Speaker 2: it all is meshed together can mansion. So I was
Speaker 2: listened to this theory before we move on to the
Speaker 2: I was listened to this theory and I need to
Speaker 2: there's apparently there was a who's involved in the podcast
Speaker 2: Peter Thal one of the old PayPal billionaires and another
Speaker 2: super smart guy. Anyway, it was the idea that if
Speaker 2: you believe there is something else beyond you know, what
Speaker 2: we all experience, you know, another plane of reality, God,
Speaker 2: the afterlife, whatever is it is? Is it reaching to
Speaker 2: us through AI? Is it like, is it somehow AI
Speaker 2: tapping into that and it is?
Speaker 1: Which No, No, it's just computers that can answer questions.
Speaker 1: But thanks for us.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, so I'll listen to that podcast and
Speaker 2: get back to you because I don't quite understand the premise,
Speaker 2: but that's what they're going with. Yeah, yeah, wow, No, no,
Speaker 2: it's not. It's just it's a it's an outgory and
Speaker 2: then it goes with the next indicated word.
Speaker 1: So it's good at helping you plan vaga. Oh there's
Speaker 1: something else you said. I wanted to comment on and
Speaker 1: it flitted out of my head. All right, well, let's
Speaker 1: just move on. Maybe it'll come back. Zoran Mamdani Mandani
Speaker 1: the Kami. He is likely to be the next mayor
Speaker 1: of New York City, the most important city on Earth. Arguably,
Speaker 1: maybe not as all the money people and I predicted this,
Speaker 1: but it's freaking obvious, so I don't get much credit.
Speaker 2: All the money people in New York.
Speaker 1: Have held frantic all night meetings saying, all right, who
Speaker 1: are we backing, Let's figure this out, but quick then
Speaker 1: let's give him enough money to do whatever they want.
Speaker 2: So they beat the friggin communist. That can happen. See
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. I mean, you know, in case you don't remember,
Speaker 2: he finished like in seventh place in every state leading
Speaker 2: up to South Carolina before the money people, the powerful
Speaker 2: people said all right, we can't.
Speaker 1: Have Bernie or Elizabeth be the nominee. All right, so
Speaker 1: what are we going to do here? So sometimes that happens, right. Indeed, well,
Speaker 1: similar thing is happening in New York, and some greater urgency.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling was lent to it when it
Speaker 1: became clear that allies of the Kami, who unexpectedly won
Speaker 1: the city's Democratic mayoral primary, they're plotting primary challenges against
Speaker 1: all of the city's top Democratic incumbents, including Haakim Jeffries,
Speaker 1: the minority leader of the House of Representatives.
Speaker 2: Let's see that.
Speaker 1: The CNN reported Mamdanni's allies, notably key leaders of the
Speaker 1: Democratic Socialists of America who are freaking America hating communists.
Speaker 1: They are dangerous. They are bent on the overthrow, violent
Speaker 1: or otherwise of the United States government.
Speaker 2: I am completely convinced of that.
Speaker 1: Anyway, they're talking about running primary challengers against Jeffries and
Speaker 1: several other incumbents, including a representative Richie Torri's Jerry Nadler,
Speaker 1: who's a waste of his considerable amount of skin, Dan Goldman,
Speaker 1: and Yvette Clark.
Speaker 2: It's considerable mode of skin slip bat in there. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: Uh. The intraparty tensions come at a precarious time for
Speaker 1: Democrats who are facing plummeting approval ratings and struggling to
Speaker 1: rally behind a national leader ahead of the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six midterms. So they are absolutely on the front foot
Speaker 1: Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America, and they are
Speaker 1: determined to take over a substantial part of New York's
Speaker 1: congressional representation.
Speaker 2: So that's an interesting angle. And then the Wall Street
Speaker 2: Journal editorial board yesterday they had this article, Chuck Schumer's
Speaker 2: Mundami ma'am dannih Chuck Schumer's Mamdanni test just that Chuck
Speaker 2: Schumer and all the other major Democrats in New York
Speaker 2: have always endorsed the Democratic candidate for mayor. Is Chuck
Speaker 2: Schumer going to keep his mouth shut? Or is he
Speaker 2: going to endorse the guy and keep it his mouth shut?
Speaker 2: Would be pretty loud, right. Is he going to not
Speaker 2: endorse the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York?
Speaker 1: Speaking of frantic all night meetings, I'm sure he and
Speaker 1: his minions are doing that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow, what an interesting spot to be put in. They
Speaker 1: mentioned that a couple of people in on this cabal
Speaker 1: are a state a New York State senator who's a
Speaker 1: Democratic Socialist of America guy, and the radical left is
Speaker 1: alive and well in New York.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Does the Republican Party love the idea
Speaker 2: of Mamdani being the mayor of New York for the
Speaker 2: next four years?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I keep going back and forth.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be an awful, awful period of time
Speaker 1: for New Yorkers. But in the same way that San
Speaker 1: Francisco had to hit bottom, and other cities that we
Speaker 1: both love, like Portland and Seattle, they just had to
Speaker 1: hit bottom. Evidently before they got turned around finally. Daniel
Speaker 1: Lurry's doing great working and his people in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: and it's turning it around. Although undoing all that damage
Speaker 1: is going to be just incredibly time consuming, inexpensive. But
Speaker 1: does New York have to prove the case one more
Speaker 1: time that progressive policies are a nightmare before America wakes
Speaker 1: up to it.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Speaking of intelligence, the regular kind I mentioned Harvard, Harvard
Speaker 1: is allegedly discussing an effort to open a new center
Speaker 1: for conservative scholarship to quote support viewpoint diversity. They're talking
Speaker 1: to potential donors and say it will not be partisan.
Speaker 1: Harvard is considering a conservative scholarship center like Stanford has
Speaker 1: the Hoover Institution, which is something because Stanford is woke
Speaker 1: as hell, I mean, like disturbingly, but they have the
Speaker 1: Hoover Institution within their umbrella, which does fantastic work, think
Speaker 1: tanky work for conservatism. The center, which could cost as
Speaker 1: much as a billion dollars, would aim to promote viewpoint diversity.
Speaker 1: As Trump and Harvard continue broader negotiations over what will
Speaker 1: it take for them to get their federal funding.
Speaker 2: Hey back to mom, Donnie briefly, just because I came
Speaker 2: across this and meant to get it on earlier, as
Speaker 2: the mainstream media is finally now kind of digging into
Speaker 2: this guy and finding out all kinds of things that
Speaker 2: oh and there's so much, so many things that his
Speaker 2: opponents would have loved to have a hat out there
Speaker 2: when they were running in the primary. But his dad,
Speaker 2: who was a professor, writing on in praise of the
Speaker 2: suicide bomber, clearly the prime objective of the suicide bomber
Speaker 2: is not to terminate his or her own life, but
Speaker 2: that of the others defined as enemies. We need to
Speaker 2: recognize the suicide bomber first and foremost as a category
Speaker 2: of soldier. His father wrote, when suicide bomber were a
Speaker 2: big thing killing Israelis, So there you go. His dad,
Speaker 2: who was the professor at Columbia.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, radical Marxist, absolutely avowed Marxist.
Speaker 2: That's something you think this will actually well, I think
Speaker 2: it's actually gonna happen. I don't see how he's gonna lose.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's certain that he's gonna win. But
Speaker 2: who would win. You can't say it was certain.
Speaker 1: You can't beat him. You can't beat something with nothing.
Speaker 1: As they say, the great Eric Adams. You think they
Speaker 1: would really looked intellectual, brave, leader, the commander of men,
Speaker 1: Eric Adams, half wit, half crook, half aware of his surroundings.
