WEBVTT - I'm Already A Little El Gordo 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:09.600 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe. 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:19.480 Getty Armstrong and Jettiating and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.320 And they arnt gon estapians transgender just because you've stripped 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.000 them from sports or from housing, or from their healthcare 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:33.800 or any other public place that you don't want us 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.640 to be. And so members make no mistake that this 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.800 is just another version of state sanctioned bullying and genocide. 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.120 And I don't say that lightly lightly. You don't say 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:44.520 it lightly. 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:50.280 That's a crazy Democrat representative in Minnesota, which is not 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.240 surprising because that's one of your crazier left states. Banning 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.840 dudes from participating in girls' sports is a genocide. And 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.200 I don't say that lightly. There was so much crazy 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:04.080 in that clip. 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.040 We could spend the rest of the show teasing it 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.240 or parsing it. The whole play the beginning again, Michael, 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:12.120 just the first half or so. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.720 And they aren't going to stop being transgender just because 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.120 you've stripped them from sports or from housing or from 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:19.479 their house. 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:24.640 We'll stop there, all right, all right, Wow, They're not 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:29.000 going to stop being transgender. Nobody is talking about that. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.199 I would like to see people get mental health care 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.759 and address the real problems in their lives, so they 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.600 didn't indulge in the fantasy that they're transgender. But nobody's 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.160 talking about that. They're not going to stop being transgender 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.160 if you keep them out of sports again, not the goal. 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.600 If you take away their housing. Wait a minute, Oh 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.240 my god, can you utter one single phrase that's not 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:49.760 completely psychotic? 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.840 Who's taking away transgender housing? 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:52.720 Yeah? 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:53.680 What the hell? 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.600 It's so good that at least in a lot of 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.960 ways that point of view is on the back foot. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.760 But not in academia, friends, and not in a lot 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:03.320 of government. 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.840 Well, and this was a blow. So there was a 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.000 bill in the Senate to bar transgender women and girls 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:16.280 nationwide from prosser dudes. Dudes is the. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.680 Term I was reading the bill from participating in school 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:24.519 athletic competitions designated for female athletes. It failed to advance 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.320 in the Senate as Democrats stood united. And it's one 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.519 of those deals where you need sixty votes. I don't 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.000 understand the Senate and which times you need fifty votes 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.160 and which times you need sixty votes, But this is 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.720 one of those where you need sixty votes and there 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.320 aren't enough Republicans, and they were hoping that they could 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.919 get you know, a half dozen Democrats to join on 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:47.560 what eighty five percent of Americans agree on. I do 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.440 not understand why, more like. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.919 An eighty five to six issue. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:57.120 It's not controversial. It's not a controversial issue. Why aren't 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:01.359 there enough Democrats where you're Democratic Senate or from you know, 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:05.560 some moderate state where you can come out and say, yeah, 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.760 I don't think boys should be played in girls sports. Anyway, 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:12.000 it was fifty one forty five Republicans over Democrats, but 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.480 didn't get to sixty. So now the Republicans have some different, 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.359 slightly differently worded bill they're trying to get through the House, 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.880 and then they'll come back to the Senatement. So the 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.040 battle's not over. But that's just shocking. Of course, this 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.880 is the thing I always like about politics. It's so 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:34.560 dang maddening that we play this game all the time, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.000 and both sides do it. But so the Democrats reasoning 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.600 on this, we shouldn't have national rules. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.680 For schools, Oh my god. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.440 And now all of a sudden, you don't like the 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.160 federal government getting involved in the schools when we're trying 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.440 to get rid of the Department of Education, for instance, 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.920 you're horrified that you don't have federal control over the schools. 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.520 But this is the way politics works. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.400 So three quick points, and you can take bets out 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.280 there whether I can remember all three of my points 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.760 by the time I'm at the third sorority. 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:11.320 Number one, just the rule of thumb. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.600 It takes sixty votes in the Senate except when it doesn't. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:20.839 So just memorize that and you'll be fine. Secondly, the 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:27.960 recent first Appeals Court, First Circuit Appeals Court ruling that 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.880 you're not violating parents rights by transitioning their child at 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.600 school and not telling them. I really want to dig 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.200 into that decision. I have the decision in front of me. 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.719 It's gonna be a longish segment. Maybe we can do 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.440 it hour four. Some folks don't get our four. You 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.760 can grab it by a podcast Armstrong and getting on demand. 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.640 Jack and I'll talk about it behind the scenes. But 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.200 it's really really interesting, and one of the points I 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:52.919 was going to make in analyzing the case is what 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:53.920 I want to make right now. 0:04:55.000 --> 0:05:02.919 Republicans stop adopting the language of the progressive lunatics say 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:07.359 in the bill, there will be no boys or men 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.000 allowed in sports. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.120 That's a good idea for a variety of reasons, because 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.919 that would force a cord at some point to. 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.120 Define that, wouldn't it. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.040 Well, right, exactly, That's what I'm driving at, because you 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:27.360 have allowed the progressive left to smear the line between 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:31.440 sex and what they call gender and then claim that 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.680 women and men are just terms of gender, and your 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.320 gender is totally up to you. Therefore, any sex specific 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:42.680 laws are terrible and oppressive because people can change their 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.680 sex slash gender all the time, and you're letting them 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.719 play that game by not simply saying no men, men 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.720 and boys in women's and girls' sports. And then, as 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.640 Jack you indicated, at some point, somebody are gonna have 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.479 to say whoa whoao is a biological male, which is 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.240 a term I do not used because that's the only 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:06.359 kind of male that exists. Attacking biological onto it also 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.920 implies that there are many different sorts of males. So 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.280 you've given them the argument anyway. Yeah, you'll make the 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:17.320 court decide, Well, we got to differentiate between this whole 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.800 whatever the hell a gender means and sex, because we're 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.040 here talking about the sex of the person. 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.200 That would be something if a court and then this 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.120 could go clear up to the Supreme Court, where the 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.679 whole question is what's the definition of male and female? 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.520 Finally get to that, that'd be something. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.960 Right, Yeah, yeah, on that topic. I don't know you, 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.680 I don't get tired of this. More revelations coming out 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.480 as the doge guys and others paw through the the 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:48.040 just the stack of you know, accounting books as high 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.200 as the Empire State Building that shows everything that's been 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.200 spent by the federal government. Public theater in New York 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.240 City received more than half a million dollars in federal 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:03.880 funds from FEMA, the Literal Emergency Management Agency, to promote 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.640 anti racist and queer shows. 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.880 How do you like that those of you in North 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:15.800 Carolina who are still living intents after the flooding there 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.680 and all the problems with getting the FEMA money, they 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:23.120 spent half a million dollars on anti racist and queer 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.240 shows at a New York City theater. 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:27.880 Wow. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.160 Right, And it was all under the umbrella of the 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:35.920 COVID emergency and it's right there in the name FEMA emergency. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.360 And so they were furnishing dollars to keep these theaters afloat. 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.320 Maybe he thought that was good in general, maybe you didn't. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:48.200 But FEMA money spent on transgendery queer up with whatever 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:49.200 shows I. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:50.520 See, So he got a queer theater. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.920 I'm sure it wasn't sustainable financially in any circumstance. But 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.320 during COVID they could claim we're going to go out 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.640 of business, so they got emergency funding from the taxpayer. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.360 Fantastic. Yeah, Oh that reminds me. I've got to get 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:09.360 into that California slush fun story. But and it's funny. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.560 I think this is as true as anything can be. 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.800 Yet I hesitated to bring it up, but it's a 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:21.000 piece by Scott Atlas. America still needs a COVID reckoning. 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.960 Why does nobody want to talk about the most tragic 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.560 breakdown of leadership and ethics in our lifetimes? 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.280 I remember early in the COVID. 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.320 Thing you brought us Jack the perspective that after the 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.120 great plague of the nineteen eighteen flu or whatever it 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.880 was called, nobody wanted to talk about it afterward. I 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.880 just want to move on because it's so damned depressing 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:42.439 and sad and disappointing. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:43.800 It seems to me a human nature thing. 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.720 Yeah, and so Scott Atlas is talking about and you 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.320 may remember him as one of the great dissenters during 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:58.160 the COVID thing, but he was at a conference that 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.720 focuses on the West's failure to cultivate its traditional values, 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:05.920 which provided the world with history's most successful societies, essentially 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:07.280 defending the principles. 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:07.880 Of Western civilization. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.560 Now, I asked the audience, why, at this moment in history, 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.280 Scott Rice, are we asking how institutions should be reformed 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.959 or if they even can be For decades, we have 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:21.760 been aware that institutions were failing incompetent, wasteful and corrupt governments, 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:26.120 biased and dishonest journalism, agenda driven schools and universities. So 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.640 why now? My answer is COVID. The mismanagement of the 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.000 pandemic hit us personally and exposed a massive, across the 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.480 board institutional failure. It was the most tragic breakdown of 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.240 leadership and ethics that free societies have seen in our lifetimes. 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:44.080 Yet oddly, the topic remained almost invisible at the week 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.880 long conference, unmentioned by dozens of speakers. It was the 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.440 elephant in the room, just as lockdowns and mandates are 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.480 missing from almost all of America's discussion of post election plans. 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.080 And then you know, there's what time is it? Yeah, 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.160 we got time for this. This is so good to 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.959 understand why the pandemic finally forced us to address institutional failure. 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.080 We must acknowledge the facts. And Jack, this will warm 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.000 your heart because we've been howling this for years. The 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:15.640 virus didn't cause lockdowns. Human beings decided to impose lockdowns, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.680 which failed to stop the deaths, and the spread lockdowns 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.760 inflicted massive damage on children and literally killed people. Or 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.200 a view of thirty four countries with available data found 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.920 that through July of twenty three, the US alone would 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.160 have had one point six million fewer deaths if it 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.520 had the performance of Sweden. Wow, and he goes on 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.920 to some more statistics to back up that that statement. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.280 But more than massive incompetence by our bureaucrats, more than 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.880 a lack of critical thinking, we saw a failure of 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:49.480 society's moral and ethical compass so pervasive that we have 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.640 lost trust in most institutions and leaders, trust that is 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.520 essential to the function of any free and diverse society, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.439 especially in the US, where the Declaration of Independence claims 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:01.080 endowed by. 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:02.400 Our creator, et cetera, et cetera. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.640 It's stunning that liberty fell so quickly and thoroughly by 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:11.600 government decree and with public assent. And there's a lot more. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.520 We've been hammering this point so long. Part of me 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.920 hesitates to, you know, hammer it again, but. 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.120 It's destined for the history books. Man.

Run your game. 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:34.559 Let me hit you with Scott Atlas's summary his final paragraph, rather, uh, 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.880 there is a disastrous lack of courage in our society. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.000 To quote C. S. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.200 Lewis, courage is not simply one of the virtues, but 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.120 the form of every virtue at the testing point. We 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.839 can't have a peaceful, free society if it is filled 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.240 with people who lack the courage to speak and act 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:58.240 with certainty on Hannah Lawrence elementary questions of morality, Google it. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.920 That's why we must reckon with the madness of our 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.440 COVID response. 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.719 Yeah, I get so frustrated if I start thinking about that. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.640 I can't hardly handle it. So yeah, that might be 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.920 one of the reasons people don't want to engage. So 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.600 we're in a trade war with Mexico and Canada. China also, 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.920 but different topic. And Trudeau had just is given a 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.079 big speech right now and taking questions with his highlighted 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:30.080 hair and his very tight suit. Some of the things 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.440 he said kind of interesting. Among other things, I hope 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.640 you have purchased all the hockey pucks you need yesterday 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:35.960 because they're expensive today. 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:42.160 More on the way, stay tuned. He getting behind me are. 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.199 One hundred circles with one hundred people inside of them. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.080 I don't care if this takes weeks, months, or even 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.200 eight year.

In this eleven year old kid won. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.760 And the way mister Beast does it too, Unlike other contests, 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.640 he pays your taxes and stuff, so you actually get 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.080 the half a million dollars. Like if you if you 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.240 win a car on most you know you want a 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.920 car on the price is right, you immediately find out, Well, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.120 I got to sell the car because I owe you know, 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.800 this two hundred thousand dollars car, I one hundred thousand 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:00.680 dollars and taxes. 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.120 I don't have it if I want to keep the car. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.000 So I got to sell the car. 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.440 I mean I was selling it slightly used so then 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.120 and I couldn't even if I could keep the car, 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:08.520 I can't afford the car insurance. 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:09.400 He pays the car. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.080 If you get a car from mister Beast, he pays 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.000 the car insurance and the taxes and all that sort 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:13.560 of stuff. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.320 So you actually get to keep the prize, which. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:16.960 Is one of the reasons he's so successful with his 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.360 eight quad trillion YouTube followers and all that sort of stuff. 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.200 So how long was the kid in the circle? I 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:23.760 don't know. I I'd like to know that. 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.400 I've watched a bunch of these my kids before his 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:32.400 before his number two is Ed McMahon or whatever you 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.520 want to call him, turn trans. My kids used to 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.200 watch mister Beast all the time, and we watch a 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:41.000 lot of these contests and they're very entertaining as he 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:42.880 edits them down and everything like that. I don't know, 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.840 I'll look into that. How long did you have to 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.800 stand in the circle to win a half million dollars? 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:48.280 What's an eleven year old going to do with a 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.640 half a million dollars? Lots and lots of gummy bears? 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:52.280 I'm guessing. 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.640 I hope they're American and not from Canada or he'll 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.080 have to pay too much of them with the damn 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:03.920 trade war going on. So justin Trudeau, Uh, he's given 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.080 a press conference right now. He said Trump is a 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.200 very smart guy, but this is a dumb thing to do. 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.320 At midnight last night, twenty five percent tariffs went into 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.080 effect on Canada and Mexico. The president of Mexico has 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:20.480 avowed retaliation and she is going to announce on Sunday 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.960 in that big central square. What do they call him 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.520 in Mexico zokolo, ziccolo. I've never known how to pronounce 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:32.200 it in the historic Old City, which if you've never 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.480 been there, is very very cool. She's going to have 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.160 a big rally there on Sunday and announce all the 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:38.880 things that Mexico is going to about to put a 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:40.920 tariff on on American. 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.400 Goods to try to retaliate old on. Here come. 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:49.080 So Domingo in the ziccolo, I will mark it on McKellen. 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:50.680 Domingo means Sunday. 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:56.160 Yes, And it's unfortunate because I have a savado Giagante 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.480 planned a giant Saturday night. 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.960 Oh my god, I'm already a little El Gordo. So 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.360 if it's all on a food I shouldn't eat, that's 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:07.840 fine with me. 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:08.560 Yeah. 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.560 Anyway, back to Canada, where they speak English, Trudeau said 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:14.440 Trump is a smart guy, but this is a dumb 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.280 thing to do. He said to Americans, your government has 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.240 done has done this to you. He has put your 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.520 US jobs at risk and has chosen to harm US 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:28.560 national security. So that's the message from pretty boy Justin Trudeau, who. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.920 Certainly has agreement at the Wall Street Journal editorial board. 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.000 They're true, really, really concerned. This is going to backfire 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:40.960 back badly something to what I'll find out together. I 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.360 wonder which of the many diseases floating around the United 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.320 States I have. I wish there was a test for 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.040 that sort of thing. A lot of these things he 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.359 can't really test for, right, Yeah, they'd have to design 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.159 it specifically, at the cost of many, many dollars and 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.919 even more thanks to Trump's tariffs or not, I don't know. 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.080 Zelenski put out a new statement about Ukraine in the 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:00.680 United States. 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.800 When we retouch on that story at some point, it 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:05.119 is a major statement. 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.159 Yeah, we can hit that next hour or next segment 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.240 and a little more on how the tariffs are likely 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.040 to affect your pocket book. 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:16.679 Here's the end significantly. I think everybody wonders Armstrong and Getty, 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.320 But what do you need to see from President's Lensky. 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:22.800 Look, I think the most important thing A lot of 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.200 people have made this about public statements. President's Lenski needs 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.440 to say that he's committed to the peace, or President 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.680 Zelenski needs to apologize to the President. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:32.879 The public stuff doesn't. 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.679 Matter nearly as much as what are the Ukrainians doing 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.479 to meaningfully engage on what a peaceful settlement would look like. 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.600 We need the Ukrainians privately to come to us and say, 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.240 this is what we need, this is what we want, 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.160 this is how we're going to participate in the process 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:49.240 to end this conflict. 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:51.200 That is the most important thing. 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.360 And that lack of private engagement is what is most 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:54.400 concerning to us. 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.680 Yeah, man, I can't wait to read the books about this. 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:01.840 That is not a statement of He's dead to us, 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:02.880 not even close. 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:07.239 No, you're right about that. 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.879 I also none of us have any idea what the 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:14.320 behind the scenes conversations are here right right Based on 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:19.800 polling I've seen, Ukrainian people are all for continuing to fight. 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.480 So and as we would be, as you would be 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:31.960 if some bastard like Putin had taken twenty percent of 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.919 your country and kidnapped your children and killed half your family. 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:37.320 And tortured your men. 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.280 The idea of oh, we'll sign a deal with them 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.000 where he gets to keep the land, keep the kids, 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.240 pays no penalty really for murdering and raping half my family, 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:48.920 and I'm supposed to just be happy with. 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:52.280 That I know, and it astounds me the number of 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.439 Americans who are insisting that they ought to do that 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.639 we would fight for the next five hundred years. 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:00.200 Yeah, yeah, I would personally. 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:05.000 But the alternative to what I just said is there's 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.400 just no world in which it gets any better than 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:08.760 the deal I just stated. 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.000 That is also true. One more clip from JD. Vance. 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:19.040 Do you expected you maybe more sanctions in Russia or 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.399 any other steps to pressure of ball size, if you 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.280 want to have them on an education Well, I. 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.000 Don't think that's right, actually, I mean, we still have 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:28.640 a number of sanctions that are placed on the Russians. 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:29.600 We do believe that. 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.640 The Russians economically are struggling because of this conflict. 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:34.000 We do believe that it's. 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.600 In Russia's best interest, but also Ukraine and the United 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.439 States's best interest, to bring this conflict to a close. 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.840 So we believe in applying pressure to everybody to stop 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:45.199 the killing, because that's what the President's policy is, and 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:46.400 that's what'sn't the best interest. 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:46.960 In the American people. 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:53.160 So the Zolen Scheme made a statement the other day 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:56.040 or yesterday whenever it was, that he thought the war 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.639 would be going on for a long Time play clip 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:01.320
