WEBVTT - I Don't Like The Word "Flaccid" 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.200 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:24.639 Armstrong, and Jettie I know he Armstrong and Yetty. Everybody's conservative. 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.560 We believe in limited government, and we believe in individual 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.080 freedom and the rule of law and peace through strength 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.040 and fis responsibility and free markets and human dignity, the 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:34.600 things that are all wrapped into this bill. 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.160 Who is that and what year was that? 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:43.160 That's Mike Johnson pretending that this bill is responsible and conservative. 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.800 Was that in nineteen seventy eight? Is the Republican Speaker 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.080 of the House talking about legislation? 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:50.560 Play that again. 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:52.159 There's a couple of words there at the beginning. I 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.520 don't know the definition of everybody's conservative. 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.440 We believe in limited government, and we believe in individual 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:58.960 freedom and the rule of law. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:00:59.840 That's a new strength. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.280 What's what the conservative and limited government? I want to 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:08.200 hear your definitions of conservative and limited government, which Mike 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.280 Johnson might be conservative and he might believe in limited government, 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.399 but the bill you just passed does not. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.400 It is not an example of that. No, doesn't represent 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.400 those principles at all. I guess what a beautiful bill, 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.480 or as I'd prefer to call it, the ridiculous rotten retreat. 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.560 BBW. No, that's a different thing, BBB. That's what that's 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.680 what passed last night, the big beautiful bill. And it 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.280 happened in the middle of the night. And here's here's 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.120 a Fox reporter with a little bit of what's in it. 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:40.320 What's in this bill. 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:40.880 It's huge. 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.319 It makes permanent those Trump twenty seventeen tax cuts, no 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.760 taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime border security. They 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:50.920 went after waste, fraud and abuse to make up for 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.240 all that loss, and revenue reforms to medicate worker requirements 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.000 and medicate start in twenty twenty six. That's a huge 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.320 win for those holdouts. Increase is in state and local 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.680 tax deduction caps that goes from ten thousand to forty thousand. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.280 That's a big win for Republicans and those high tax 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.040 blue states. And it also raises a debt ceiling by 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:14.160 four trillion. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson has to be breathing 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:15.800 a sigh of relief this morning. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.120 It's not at all not true what she just said. 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:24.000 In fact, it's one hundred percent true. But for the reporter, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:31.160 on Fox to let you know about the big beautiful 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.639 bill and say it's a win for those Republicans and 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.120 blue states. Right after they played by the way, it 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.880 wasn't just us, they played Mike Johnson saying it's a win. 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.000 For fiscal conservatives. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.480 There's nothing that could be less conservative than that salt 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.800 deduction portion of the bill. 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:53.280 I mean, that's it's just ridiculous. It's ridiculous. 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.880 Yeah, I despise it. It's indefensible. We actually got one 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:02.760 email saying, guys, I disagree. Yeah, here's a conservative defense 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.160 of the salt degreement. As a conservative, we want smaller 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:06.840 federal government and more power in the hands of the 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.120 state and local governments that have a greater and more 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:10.480 direct impact on our lives. 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.280 Yeah. I've said that a million times. 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.560 By deducting our local taxes from our burden of the 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.800 federal government, we're taking power away from that centralized dentity, 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.600 because money really is power in this case of no 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.959 other chugging off the revenue stream, and theory with a 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.919 fiscally responsible administration for its federal government to work within 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.760 its means, well, that would be lovely. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.720 If that's Oh, I'd. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.800 Rather fight locally for what I believe and direct where 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.640 my money goes than try to push the giant flacid 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.560 rope that is Washington d C. I appreciate the imagery. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:48.400 I yeah, I don't like the word flacid. Get over it. 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:53.760 So the problem with your argument, though, is that that 0:03:53.840 --> 0:04:02.680 empowers the most egregiously wasteful states. California is not spending 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.360 the money in the way that you reference there, sir. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.280 That's the way you're in the way you're describing. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.560 It's squandering it on handouts to Crony's as this New 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.320 York It's absolutely shameless. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.000 Yeah, and I think that's got it. They have it. 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.080 He had. That person has it completely backwards. 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:23.440 It's it's a crime against humanity that red, fiscally conservative 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.239 states have to pick up the slack for blue states 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.200 that can run up their tax bills. It's just it's 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:33.880 just absolute unelievable. Anyway, Again, what what Mike Jensen would 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:39.000 say is there is not an appetite for fiscal conservatism 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.680 in this country. Rush Limbaugh said, how many years ago 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.000 was that? I should ask chat GPT what year did 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.720 rush Limbaugh get a fair amount of flack for coming 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:53.280 out and saying fiscal conservatism is dead. Nobody cares about that. 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.360 I remember when he said it, and it was like 0:04:55.600 --> 0:05:00.400 it hurt my heart. Yeah, but he was just present hinting, 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.480 you know, As George will says, one of the essence, 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:09.000 one of the maybe core tenets of being a conservative 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.880 is recognizing what is. Rush Limbaugh was recognizing what is. 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.679 There is not a constituency for being. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.240 Fiscally conservative, and if they've got to tuck that behind 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.839 the curtain and win elections to get done what we 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:23.640 can get done. 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.880 Until we, you know, collapse in ruin because we spent 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.360 more than we could take in for too long, and 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.880 eventually there's a price to pay for that. Well, you know, 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.719 I'm reminded of and I think this is rock solid. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.520 When Winston Churchill, who spent as you may know, the 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.680 nineteen thirties, howling to anybody who had listened, including his 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.200 beloved in England, that the Nazis were building a war 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.599 machine and were soon to be using it, and nobody 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.440 paid attention to him, or at least they told him 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.680 to shut up, he was wrong. We could negotiate instead, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.239 And then of course the invasion began and the war began, 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.080 and then the very things he'd been pleaing for pleading 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:04.320 for done, and Churchill said famously, nothing changes until you 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:05.000 get invaded. 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.120 I think the Mike Johnson's of the world is Rush Limbaugh. 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.719 The great Rush recognized back in the time, we'll continue 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.080 spending like Hunter Biden on a coke binge until we're 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.120 actually in a disaster. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:26.520 Katie, didn't you tell us he said it in twenty nineteen, so. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.919 Six years ago that he recognized what was clearly true 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:34.000 then and is even more true now. Yeah, there aren't 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.800 votes for being fiscally conservative. So somebody I don't know, uh, 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.120 tweeted out after this, and it's true. It's like when 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.440 it comes to losing weight. I've heard people say you 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.920 can't outwork a bad diet. It's the calories you're taking in, 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.400 not the exercise. You got to do both, but you 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.920 can't out work taken in on those calories. I think 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.039 this is the same premise here. The issue isn't taxes, 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.400 it's spending. The issues isn't taxes, it's spending. The issue 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.440 isn't taxes, it's spending. It repeats that for quite a while. Yeah, 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.000 you can, you can deal with taxes all you want. 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.880 It's the spending. You gotta stop spending so much money, 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:15.800 and there's no appetite for cutting spending. And then Brit Hume, 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:20.680 who is the senior analyst over at Fox Television and 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.600 really really good, even though he's ancient. 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.440 When I started covering Congress back. 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.640 In the late seventies, I thought the two hardest votes 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.920 you could make in Congress were for war. 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.520 And raising taxes. I was wrong. 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.880 The hardest thing, by far for Congress to do is 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.200 clearly cut spending. That's the one vote you can't take 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:44.679 as a Republican or a Democrat. 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:45.760 Apparently. Yeah. 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:51.000 Yeah, the ratification of the idea that the government is 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.880 Santa Claus and Mammi is now. 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.720 It's complete, it's solidified. It's just part of our culture. 0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.280 So anyway, I have one good another good summer of 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:01.400 what should have happened. 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.000 Right after this, and then more cheery fair absolutely yeah. 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.320 Quick word from our friends that simply save home security. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.360 You've been busting your ass, working hard. They're taking too 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.000 much of your money state, local, and federal taxes.

There's no safe like simply Safe. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:08.920 One of my. 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.880 Favorite fiscal conservatives is Charles CW. Cook of the National Review, 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:17.080 who retweeted a GOP that can't simply extend the twenty 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:23.880 seventeen tax cuts defund Biden's ridiculous green energy blowouts period 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.760 is worthless. In other words, you got the presidency, you 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.880 got the Senate, you got the House. You could have 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.679 come in and just done extend the tax cuts, defund 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.640 the green energy period, but nope, had to add in 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.160 a whole bunch of other goodies for a variety of people. 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.000 That is going to grow the deficit by how many 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.840 trillion dollars. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.880 Three trillion over a decade. But those numbers are never 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.720 too conservative? No, no, no, no, yeah, it's. 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.280 It's discouraging, discouraging. You know. I read a great piece 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:56.040 by Carl Rove. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.400 I know a lot of folks, you know, despise as 0:09:58.440 --> 0:09:59.760 an old timey Republican needs. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.559 Don't get my brother started on Carl Rove, Oh. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.960 Boy, I won't, thanks to fair warning. But he wrote 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:11.960 a piece called how the GOP can win Medicaid. Democrats 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.240 won't let Republicans duck the issue, so go on the 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:18.200 offensive instead, And I agree with him completely in this 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:25.440 case GOP silence as the Democrats, and I've got great 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.440 examples of this, try to terrify everybody that, oh, they're 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.160 going to take away healthcare for blind babies, even though 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:36.520 that's utterly fiction, just complete fiction. But rodwrides GOP silence 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.120 will make the inevitable democratic assault more powerful, and Republicans 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.480 have a lot of ammo with which to prevail on 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.920 this front. And then he goes into some of the numbers. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.840 But here's a possible script for the Republican Medicaid off offense. 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.520 Start by declaring a strong commitment to save the program. 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.120 We're here to save it because of Democratic policies, Medicaid 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.640 is spending hundreds of billions of dollars on people it shouldn't, 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.920 who are able bodied, in working age. Republicans want this 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.760 assistance to go to the people who is meant for 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:09.400 the elderly, poor, disabled children, and low income families. Without reform, 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.360 the program on which those Americans depend is at risk 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:16.640 of rapidly becoming unsustainable. And the GOP should say able 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.559 bodied adults on medication should be required to work or 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.880 look for work, No freeloaders on a program meant for 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.680 the truly vulnerable. That's a great argument, and listen to 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.640 this more fact Jack. 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.199 No mainstream media is reporting it that way, though they're 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.800 only reporting eight million people will be cut from their 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.680 health insurance, health coverage, or they usually say health care 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:40.200 rear right, you're. 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.120 Right, like you can't get medicine and you'll just die. 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.800 Right exactly, So this is so interesting. A couple of 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.440 months ago, the Kaiser Family Foundation found that sixty two 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.640 percent of Americans support, and this is a quote from 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:57.880 the uh poll, sixty two percent support requiring nearly all 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.480 adults to work or be looking for work to qualify 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.480 for medicaid. Thirty eight was a post It was sixty 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.160 two to thirty eight. But if told that such a 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:12.559 requirement quote could ensure that Medicaid is reserved for groups 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.080 like the elderly, people with disabilities, and low income children, 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:17.839 it was seventy seven. 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.800 To twenty two. It's an eighty twenty issue. So this 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:26.319 is either a measure of Republican cowardice or yes sting, or. 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:32.520 How difficult it is to sell something to the American 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.560 electorate in the year twenty twenty five that you don't 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:40.000 even try to win a seventy seven to twenty two battle. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:40.920 Well, I would. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.600 I would be more willing to side with the it's 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.079 just hard to do if I ever saw him do it. 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.800 Plenty of Republicans on all these various talk shows on Sunday, 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.520 and I ever see him make that argument try and fail. 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.000 I mean, what if your kid said, no, I can't 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.560 do that, son. You haven't even tried, but I can't. Yeah, 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.640 I guess, I guess you shouldn't try it. I mean, 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.640 you gotta have your kids taken away. I'll raise them, 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.760 send them my way. I'd be delighted. I got lord, 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.160 it's a seventy seven to twenty two and they don't 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.679 have the balls to fight that battle. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:18.240 And Trump isn't doing it either. No testicles boo boo. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.840 I say, that's the sound I was making at my 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.120 Testla yesterday. I got so mad at Tesla yesterday. I 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:28.160 may sell the cars and and give up on them. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.600 I got so angry at the technology, among other things. 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:41.079 On the way stay here, don't take it. They'll backpedal 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:51.360 of three from the hym and oh, I think that's 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.440 a two. That is a two. You're right, that's gonna 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.800 be a two. That only tells the game, that ties 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.240 the game. We're going to be going over to you, 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:01.480 sure are, man. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:05.440 There was a lot of build up for Pacers Nicks 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.560 because it was such an exciting rivalry way back in 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.920 the day, and I thought, Okay, that's great, same uniforms, 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.360 but none of the players ended up being one of 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.560 the best playoff games I've ever seen in my life. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.920 That's in a lot of guts to come back from 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.960 fourteen late in the game in front of. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.120 That Madison Square Garden crowd, but they came back in one. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.240 So look at this kind of a funny notion that 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.840 it was a great rivalry thirty years ago, therefore we 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.720 should be excited. And literally, that's not the same uniforms. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:35.800 They've probably changed them. But yeah, right, right, yeah, yeah. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.120 If it's fun, it's fun. Life. Life is tough. 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:41.400 Enjoy you know, the things you enjoy. If it's fun, 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.640 enjoy the things you enjoy. Joe gives you permission to 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.240 go out this Memorial Day weekend. Enjoys talking to you. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.320 Enjoy shut up, put money. I was talking to a 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.840 friend of mine last night whose daughter is really into Buddhism, 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:03.480 and she has taught him that life is suffering and 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.040 and and part of the suffering is we reject change. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.840 We want stasis, but it'll never we will never get it. 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.920 And so enjoy the love, you know, enjoy the joy 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:15.840 when you can enjoy. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.240 Yeah. Man, when I'm in that mindset, it really works. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:26.280 One of my favorite prayers from Saint Teresa of Avila, Uh, 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.560 it's very short by one of the lines is everything 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:33.960 is changing, and that is you know, you can use 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.600 it on both sides when things are not working out. Well, 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.000 this is not gonna last, never has in the past, 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.000 and a good thing to remember when things are, you know, 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.880 going well, this isn't gonna last either, so enjoy it. 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.920 Well it's last, This too shall pass. 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.880 Everything is constantly changing, and it's all finding the balance though. 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.560 That's the that's the hard part of life, or at 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.960 least for me, it is the balance on everything. Like 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.760 I watched way too much sports when I was younger, 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:02.000 way too much. I would I could have those probably. 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.280 I don't know if it's years that's too sad to contemplate, 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:10.520 but certainly months of my life watching regular season NFL 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.960 games or whatever. I wish I could have that time back. 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.600 On the other hand, watching zero sports pretty much since 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:17.760 I started raising kids. 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:19.720 I watch an NBA game here. 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.840 And there, and I have a really good time for 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:22.440 a couple. 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.680 Hours, Like I'm really happy. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.080 Why would I want to deny myself that even if 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.960 it is frivolous useless, has no more meaning. I enjoyed it, 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.200 so I don't know. For in charging the batteries, that's 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.960 the meaning. Oh, speaking of batteries, here's my one. I 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.240 got so angry at Tesla yesterday and I still. 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:38.800 Haven't figured it out. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:40.720 I'll have to google it today. So I go to 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.720 get in my car. There was a software update. That's 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.680 one of the cool things about Tesla is the new 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.520 model just came out overnight and it got downloaded into 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.120 your car and you come out and the tech is 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:53.920 different because they came up with a better way to 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:54.400 do things. 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.480 Like that happened on Monday. I got in my car 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.240 all of a sudden, now the blind spot cameras show 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.760 up here to see. Oh, that's cool. They just changed it. 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:03.920 It is, it is. It's amazing. 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.400 But yesterday I get in my car and I gotta 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.600 go pick up my son from school. So I go 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.240 get in my car. I gotta leave right now to 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.439 make it on time, and you can't put it in 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.040 drive and it says welcome to the new blah blah 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:17.960 blah something or other. 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.680 Download upload the up update the app. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:22.720 You gotta be kidding, and it gives me one of 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.840 those whatever you call those things that you have to 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.840 take a picture of to take you to a website. 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.240 Oh, QR code, Yeah, gives me a QR code on 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:29.720 my screen. 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.240 When I get in my car, I do the QR code. 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.159 It takes me at a website, then asks me for 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.000 information that I don't have handy, and I just say 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.119 screw it and go get my other vehicle where I 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.840 put a key in the ignition and drive off anytime 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:42.720 I freaking. 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:47.000 Want to age. Man, Oh, that made me so mad. 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.399 You're gonna leave me stranded here because you updated the 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:54.960 software and improved my life somehow. Af you elon, what 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.720 if your kid is bleeding and you're trying to get 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.040 to the hospital or like a true emergency. 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.760 That made me so mad, And I haven't figured it 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:04.200 out yet. 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.520 I'm sure I can, but you shouldn't need to go 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.040 through any hoops to get in your car and drive off. 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.879 Oh, I was furious much more to come stay with us, 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.639 Armstrong and Getty whatever. 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:17.879 You think of Hunter Biden. 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:19.240 And there's certainly a lot of people in this town, 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:20.760 Democrats and Republicans. 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.359 That do not think a lot of him. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.359 There is a certain kind of like cruelty to the 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:26.560 campaign against him. 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.600 Where is Hunter? Where is Hunter? Where is Hunter? 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.600 The right wing is going crazy with all sorts of 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:35.920 allegations about Biden and his family, too disgusting to even 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.440 repeat here. I mean, some of the ones I've seen 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:41.840 from the President's son and the president some of the 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:46.399 President's supporters are just wildly unhinged. I think that you 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.360 came here and leveled a bunch of accusations and allegations. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.679 About it about Hunter Biden. 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:52.080 I didn't. 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:53.159 I just said the facts. 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.000 So that's a little montage of Jake Tapper back in 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:03.000 the day attacking anybody who went after Hunter Biden for anything. Now, 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:06.960 his book has got all kinds of background stuff about 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:12.320 what a scumbag Hunter was, which he knew at the time. Wow, 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.680 and I thought this was interesting. This is a couple 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.280 of more things on the whole. Biden declined cover up 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:22.520 Jake Tapper book all that it's a giant scandal or. 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:23.200 It should be. 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.720 One of the biggest scandals in American political history, the 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:33.960 biggest media failure in American history easily, I think. But 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:40.240 so Tom Bevin, a real Clear Politics wrote another nauseating 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:44.119 fact about the Tapper Thompson book. They've gotten more media 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.760 in two days than most authors get in a lifetime, 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:48.560 all of it from liberal media. 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:50.320 Except for Megan Kelly. 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.080 None of these outlets would have given a minute to 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.800 conservatives if they had written the same book. 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:57.879 Case in point, how. 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.600 Many legacy outlets and networks and late night shows and 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:04.439 podcasts had Miranda Divine of The New York Post, on 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:08.280 who wrote her book Laptop from Hell, that every bit 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.399 of it was true about Hunter Biden's laptop. 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:13.440 I mean, and this is after it. 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:17.720 Got proved, prove the cover up that the laptop was true. 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:19.919 This wasn't at the time even though it was true. 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.600 This was after even the Washington Post was saying everything 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.439 in there was accurate and the FBI and all that 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:25.480 she wrote a book. 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:26.240 Called Laptop from Hell. 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:28.800 Didn't get to go on any of these shows or 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:32.800 podcasts zero And then she responded to those tweets saying, 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:33.400 this is true. 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:35.200 I did not. Nobody asked me to come on any 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:35.760 of those shows. 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.680 I got zero appearances on any shows, No New York 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:41.280 Times bestseller list either. 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:43.200 She said. 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.879 The book did launch it number one on Amazon and 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:50.639
