Yeah. 177 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 2: Wow for now, Wow, for now? Oh my god, dog's breakfast. Alright, 178 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 2: that's enough of that. What else are we going to do? 179 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 7: Oh? 180 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: I do want to fill in just because you might 181 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: hear it today. I don't know when exactly the vote 182 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: is going to come down on Hegzeth becoming sec deaf 183 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio. They did that one fast ninety nine nothing 184 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: in the Senate worn in yesterday. He's Secretary of State. 185 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: Heg Zeph October surprise hit piece story dropped yesterday. You 186 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: should know at least some of the truth behind that 187 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: in case you hear the one sided coverage you're going 188 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: to get from a joy reader, even the New York 189 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: Times for that, isn't that matter? Among other things on 190 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: the way stay here, there's been some talk from the 191 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: media of doing better this time around for a variety 192 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: of reasons. One, the ratings are going south. Two, it's 193 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: become more clear that a lot of America wants Donald 194 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: Trump chosen with all his flaws, knowing exactly what he is, 195 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: because they like his policies, et cetera, et cetera. I 196 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: think some news organizations are doing much better, the WAPO, 197 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: the New York Post in some ways. But here's an 198 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: example of some terrible freaking journalism and we'll explain after 199 00:11:59,000 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: you hear it. 200 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 3: Hegseeth's former sister in law, Danielle Hegseth, a llegis of 201 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 3: the Defense Secretary nominee, was abusive toward his second wife, Samantha. 202 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 3: Danielle Hegseth claimed Samantha told her she once hid in 203 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 3: a closet for fear of her safety. Danielle Hegseth, who 204 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 3: was married to Hegseth's brother, also allegis Samantha had a 205 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 3: plan to get away from Hegseth by texting a safe 206 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 3: word to her if she needed help. During his confirmation hearing, 207 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 3: Hegseth denied any allegations of violence toward his former wives. 208 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty interesting. That was on TV obviously, is 209 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: that CBS? And then Cole Killian, who has a weird voice, 210 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: quit talking like that. New York Times had a similar story. 211 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: Politico had a similar story. And this all lands the 212 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: day or the week of the vote on his confirmation. 213 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: Why didn't this story come out previously? But this has 214 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: been pointed out by many weird How Politico, New York Times, 215 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: CBS and others don't mention the key fact that Hegseev's 216 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: ex wife, the woman they're saying hid in the closet 217 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: and had a safe word and all that denies any 218 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: of these BS smears. Why must run out of room 219 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: for that in the story? How even if you don't 220 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 1: believe her, even if you think she's only saying that 221 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: because she's scared or whatever else, the reason is right. 222 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: That seems perty so. In other words, the word of 223 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: your brother's ex wife worth reporting. The word of the 224 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: actual ex wife doesn't make the newscast. Explain to me 225 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: that journalist. 226 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 2: I think the explanation is self evident. They're beneath contempt. 227 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: They're so deserving of the plunge from grace and success 228 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 2: that they're experiencing. Good riddance, go away. 229 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: The New York Times headline was Hegzev Egg's sister in 230 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: law tells senators he was abusive to second wife, And 231 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: then Peter Baker, who's a serious reporter, writes an Egg's 232 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: sister in law submits a sworn statement. Ooh, that makes 233 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: it more true to senators using heads of being so 234 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: abusive toward his second wife she wants in the closet. 235 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: The story does not contain the info that his ex 236 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: wife has come out and said on the record two people, No, 237 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: he didn't, that never happened. Yeah, yeah, no, I don't 238 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: know if I don't know what's going on. All I 239 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: know is you got to include that. 240 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 2: So the sister of Heg Sas, I'm sorry, the ex 241 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: wife of Heg Seth's brother who is part of the 242 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: extended family for a while. 243 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know what their families like, but not 244 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: always the closest people they'll be. 245 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, it's an indictment of journalists as opposed 246 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 2: to you know, anybody else involved in this. It's it's well, 247 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: they're they're please anybody who holds out any hope for 248 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: a reform of the old timey media, I think you're 249 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 2: just it's not gonna happen. 250 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: I think this is newsworthy. Trump put this out about 251 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: an hour ago. I'm not looking to hurt Russia. I 252 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: love the Russian people and have always had a very 253 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: good relationship with President Putin. And this despite the radical 254 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: lefts Russia Russia Russia hoax had to throw that in 255 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: We must never forget that Russia helped us win the 256 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: Second World War, losing almost sixty million lives in the process. 257 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: All of that being said, I'm going to do Russia, 258 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: whose economy is failing in President Putin a very big 259 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: favor in all caps, settle now and stop this ridiculous 260 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: war exclamation point and here in all caps. It's only 261 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: going to get worse if we don't make a deal 262 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: in soon. I have no other choice to put high level, 263 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: high levels of taxes, tariffs, and sanctions on anything being 264 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: sold by Russia to the United States and various other 265 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: participating countries. Let's get this war, which never would have 266 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: started if I were president, over with. We can do 267 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: it the easy way or the hard way, and the 268 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: easy way is always better. That's a good point. It's 269 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: time to make a deal. No more lives should be lost. Wow. 270 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: So for those in the crowd who think he is 271 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: in the pocket of Putin or whatever he's threatening. 272 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: Him, Yeah, Trump is a canny negotiator, no doubt. The 273 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: idea that anybody has a quote unquote good relationship with 274 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: Putin is hilarious. Yeah, but Trump's posturing, I get it. 275 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Been enjoying as Jack has. 276 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: The New Cold Wars, the book by David Sanger, in 277 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 2: which one of the fascinating chapters goes through the history 278 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: of the various presidents over the last whatever it is 279 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: thirty forty years trying to get a grip on Vladimir 280 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: Putin and how you just you're not looking into his soul. 281 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: You're not his friend. He's not looking to you to 282 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: help Russia, none of that. You're dealing with a reptile. 283 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. Bush two courted him a lot. Hillary showed up 284 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: with the reset button. Obama tried to be friends. That 285 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: was Hillary. Hillary was a secretary of State. Putin is 286 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: an evil bastard. Well, and he's a gunfighter. You're a gunfighter. 287 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: That's your relationship, period. You don't have to shoot each other. 288 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: That's the relationship arm Strong and Getty.

Higher 301 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 9: than fire than invade Greenland. 302 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: Boring, traded for New Zealand. 303 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 9: Golf work, golf ten on a roll, work golf ten, work, 304 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 9: TikTok scroll, first week over, thank the nation, second week 305 00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 9: time for vacation. 306 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: So Mark Alprin in his newsletter today with some pretty 307 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: ah praising of Trump's stuff that I'm sure he got 308 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: a lot of pushback from. He is, I think, among 309 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 1: the most fair journalists out there. But I also think 310 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: he's right about all this. You're gonna You're gonna dig this. 311 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: If you like Trump, if you hate Trump, you should 312 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: still hear it. Not to overstate the case, writes Mark 313 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: Calprin today, but Trump can play eight simultaneous games of 314 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: three dimensional chess against eight different opponents. He won't win 315 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: them all, but he will not give an f about 316 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: losing two, which I think is part of UH works. 317 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: Let me jump down to here, just because I liked 318 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: it so much. Trump is not performing as a dictator. 319 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: He is performing as a guy who thinks even LBJ 320 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: was a slouch when it came to manipulating every piece 321 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: of equipment at his disposal, every advantage the Oval Office 322 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: gives him in showing no mercy, giving no quarter, and 323 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: playing for keeps every day in every way, And unlike 324 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: the brooding Johnson, Trump is clearly having a ball doing 325 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: all this. It is not virtually impossible now for the 326 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: media to cover what Trump is doing in full and 327 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: perform the vital function of holding him accountable to the 328 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: public interest. It's totally impossible. What is shooting out of 329 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: the fire hose is just too much, too fast. There 330 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: is zero way to keep up with it all. And 331 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: while most almost none of it is a surprise, most 332 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: of it, despite what the dominant media and Adam Schiff 333 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: might think and say, is some combination of popular or 334 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: of no interest to the American people. Trump can threaten, frip, 335 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: flip flop, eliminate, and dominate. There's no one in the 336 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: corral to slow him down right now, let alone stop him. Yes, 337 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: at some point he will struggle to get his agenda 338 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: through Congress with his partos party's narrow majorities, he have 339 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: moved struck down by the courts, and face a democratic 340 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: party with its act more together than it is now. 341 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: But none of these things are likely to happen to 342 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: any significant ext in January, February, or March, or maybe 343 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: even beyond that. Barring some unexpected development, this is going 344 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: to be quite a run. The man who has dominated 345 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: our political media, social cultural lives for a decade is 346 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: quite remarkably poised to tower above everyone else, even more 347 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: now than ever. 348 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 2: Before, if he can stay out of his own way, 349 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: you know, And that reminds me. The whole thing reminds 350 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: me of something I really wanted to point out, very briefly. 351 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: Then back to you. 352 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 2: Trump has answered more questions in last forty eight hours 353 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 2: than Biden did in the last year. He is completely 354 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: open to the media, taking critical questions, hard questions about 355 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 2: tough topics, and dealing with them. 356 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: Maybe you like his answers, maybe you hate him. 357 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: He is a paragon, a paragon of transparency compared to 358 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 2: what's gone. 359 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: Before, clearly, and gets no credit for it. 360 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 2: Right, No, No, even self interest isn't enough reason for 361 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 2: the media to break their ideological lockstep again there I 362 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: have nothing but contempt for them. 363 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: Go away, you bother me. 364 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 2: Now. 365 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: I read the thing from George will who absolutely can't 366 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: stand Trump, but he wrote in the Washington Post over 367 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: the weekend. Once you're past the age of seven, you 368 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: start to realize that all presidents are gonna have ups 369 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: and downs, do things you like, do things you don't like. 370 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: You know, fail at this, succeed at that, see you know, 371 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: and they come and they go. So you stop being 372 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: quite so wound up about all of it. But it's 373 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: interesting Mark Alpern's saying, because even Obama, who's probably the 374 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: most popular, he's absolutely the last popular president of the 375 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: last thirty years in terms of just ratings and stuff 376 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: like that, he had moments where he was really struggling 377 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: down in the low forties. After Obama here and stuff 378 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: like that. I mean, it comes and it goes. But 379 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: Mark Alpern, who understands the way DC works, saying it 380 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: could go well beyond March before this ride is over 381 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: for Trump. That's interesting, right, ride. 382 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: And so you've got the ride as we're you know, 383 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 2: characterizing it, which is going to be crazy interesting already 384 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,959 Speaker 2: has been. I mean the executive orders, I'd say three 385 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 2: quarters of them. I love some of them I'm not 386 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: crazy about But to your point, that's life. Then post ride, 387 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 2: when it gets harder, there will still be good things 388 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 2: accomplished guaranteed. So I just you know, I just again, 389 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 2: I hope he can stay out of his own way. 390 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, he'pring believes, and I've heard other people say this 391 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: that Trump is really driven by he wants to go 392 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: down in history as a good president. He wants to 393 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: be ranked high on the list of presidents. And that's 394 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: why he's calling it the biggest mulligan of all time. 395 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: Because he wasn't going to be after term one. He 396 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: could have a term two that just obliterates the history 397 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: of term one and is barely remembered. 398 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 2: Well except that it will shade I think the history 399 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 2: of term one, and historians, if we can find any 400 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 2: honest ones, because like all profet there's their ninety seven 401 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: to three progressives, they will point out that Trump was 402 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: hampered badly in his first turn by the utterly ridiculous accusations. 403 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be lost to history, but just an impossible situation. 404 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: I remember when Bob Woodward said that Trump was getting 405 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 1: the most unfair treatment the press is ever giving any president. Yeah, 406 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: Bob Woodward, for God's sake. 407 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 2: Oh so speaking of what has gone before, look, we 408 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 2: got to get our kick and Joe Biden material used 409 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 2: this week, I think, and. 410 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: This is worth mentioning. 411 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 2: The Daily Mail pulled over one thousand voters in the 412 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 2: United States asking them how they would describe Joe Biden's 413 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 2: time in office, and they went with the word cloud. 414 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: Are you familiar with that? Right? 415 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 2: Where the most mentioned word is the biggest and it 416 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: stands in the middle, then it's surrounded by less used words, 417 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: and finally around the edge is you have words that 418 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 2: came up some They were asked what is Joe Biden's 419 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: legacy and the number one word was nothing. Now, there 420 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 2: was plenty of worst president ever, good riddance, inflation, just 421 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: all sorts of negatives, but the number one word was 422 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 2: he has no legacy. 423 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: I think the legacy will be eventually the mental decline 424 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: stuff in the way all that played out. 425 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 2: In the corruption, there is no way that the the 426 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 2: Biden crime family, shell companies money laundering thing stays undocumented. 427 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it'll come. Not optimistic on that one. 428 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: I hope you're right. 429 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, although you know, there's a lot of it. That's 430 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 2: I mean, there's so much circumstantial evidence it makes oj 431 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: look innocent, and that was conveniently ignored. But yeah, yeah, 432 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: I think you're right. And the longer we go, the 433 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: farther we get from his presidency, the more negative historians 434 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 2: will consider it. Except for your cabal of super progressive historians. 435 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: Well even then, I think they're pretty pissed off. And 436 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: he set it up for a loss to Trump. 437 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there is no really no constituency for senile 438 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 2: old Joe Biden pretending he's not he's not an insisting 439 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 2: on running again. 440 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: I mean there was for. 441 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 2: A minute, just because Democrats are like, I don't know 442 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 2: what to do and we got to beat Trump, so 443 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 2: yay Joe. He's the best version of Joe Biden ever 444 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: and if you don't like get fu. He could barely 445 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: keep up with him behind the scenes. But once the 446 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 2: jig was up, at this point, there is zero constituency 447 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 2: for Joe Biden. 448 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: Wasn't senile. I quite a few people in my neighborhood 449 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: had a variety of up with the Democrats signs leading 450 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: up to the election. Almost all of them are down now. 451 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: I thought they were all down. But my thirteen year 452 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: old came in the house after walking the dog yesterday. 453 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: He said, one of our neighbors still has a hairy 454 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: Balls sign in their yard. Wait what he calls the 455 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: Harris Walls sign? Oh, that's in. He's a thirteen year 456 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: old boy. That's a good boy. Kind of kind of 457 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: kind of fits with the thirteen year old boy thing. 458 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 2: Man, is, I've got to walk the dog every damn day, 459 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: no matter the weather. Blah blah blah. That's the one 460 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: thing I miss about having kids free employees. Oh yeah, yeah, 461 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 2: But I need the exercise, that's the problem. So I 462 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 2: go back and forth on that. Hey, could you bring 463 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 2: in the waters about just about you know, five things 464 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 2: of water bring him into the house, or I should 465 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: carry him in. 466 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: I need the exercise. But man, having a high school 467 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: kid that can do that pretty handy. Don't you bring 468 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: him in? Set them up? Won't you bring in the 469 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: trash cans? I'll need to sit here on the couch. Hey, 470 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: do you are you rooting for any football team, any 471 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: of the four you have any interest? I'm a Chiefs fan, obviously. 472 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: I grew up in Kansas, I've seen more Chiefs losses 473 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: at Arrowhead than practically anybody that was in those stands 474 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Right. Yeah, you know what, Honestly, I'm rooting 475 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: for Washington just because I'm I would be my daughter's 476 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: either a great turnaround story, a great up and coming 477 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: young team, and my daughter's boyfriend is a huge Commanders fan, 478 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: so I'm rooting for this. So currently the Chiefs are 479 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: a two point favorite over the Bills, and then the 480 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: NFC game, the Eagles are a six point favorite over 481 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: the six seed Washington team. But if the Chiefs places 482 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: face the Commanders, I think it'll be a good the 483 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: Indian team that wouldn't change their name in the face 484 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: of political crisis pressure and the Indian team that did 485 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: change their name in the face of the pressure coming together. 486 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: That's what I like. 487 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: Love the Bills, love the Chiefs, don't care about the AFC. 488 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: Either way, It'll be a super exciting ste Super Bowl. 489 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: Hope, so well, we will finish strong next mark my. 490 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 8: Words, Fisher's gonna judge your You've done as one of 491 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,239 Speaker 8: the most significant contributions has been a babe by all 492 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 8: of America. 493 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: Okayrshot, would you go to a Playboy Cardi concert if 494 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: you were me, if you're a middle aged white guy, 495 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: or Ken Carson or several of the other high profile ruppers. 496 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: Travis Scott, how about that one?

If 511 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 2: you love freedom, liberty. Javier Malai, the president or is 512 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: it Melee of Argentina. He is about a year into 513 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 2: his presidency. He vowed to cut regulations, cut the size 514 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 2: of the government, free up the economy and and the 515 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 2: absolutely ruinous socialist rule in Argentina, and it is working 516 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 2: better than anybody expected. His success so far has been 517 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: absolutely stunning. He has cut more than nine hundred regulations, 518 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: splashed real public spending by thirty percent, fired thirty six 519 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: thousand public workers, which doesn't sound like a lot, but 520 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 2: Argentina is a much smaller country than the United States. 521 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 2: The inflation that was crippling Argentina has has plunged. He 522 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: shut down the Ministry of Women, Genders and Diversity, halted 523 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 2: many public works, sharply, curb tensions, slice subsidies that, among 524 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 2: other things, provided Argentine Tinians with nearly free electricity. It's 525 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 2: unbelievably bold leadership. 526 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and one of the great experiments of conservative ism, libertarianism, 527 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: depending on how you're defining those terms, that we've had 528 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: in the world in quite a while. And to see 529 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: it be successful is awesome. Right now. 530 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: The uncomfortable part he is under pressure to get people 531 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 2: back to work. Having ended the cradle to grave, you 532 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 2: can sit on the couch and be fine culture of 533 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 2: socialist Argentina. So now it's time for the investment to 534 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: flow in and the economy to really take off to 535 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 2: create the jobs that they need, which is obviously necessary. 536 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 2: I would love to say American companies investing in Argentina 537 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 2: just as a vote to support for what he's doing. 538 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 2: But recently Argentina ranked one hundred and forty fifth in 539 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 2: the world in terms of economic freedom, just ahead of Pakistan. 540 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 2: Oh wow, oh yeah, but they are now surging ahead. 541 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: But it's time again for the obvious and brilliant maneuvers 542 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 2: to get the economy unleashed. It's time for it to 543 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 2: get going, and I'm rooting like crazy for him and 544 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: the people of Argentina by extension. 545 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: Obviously it'll probably pass California soon. It may. 546 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, unwinding because you've asked this in various forms through 547 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:51,719 Speaker 2: the years, and everybody wonders, how do you unwind the 548 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 2: people's complete dependence on a giant, bloated government. 549 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: We would take generations. It's not something you can do immediately. 550 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 2: I don't think, well, yeah, it's gonna be hard, and 551 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 2: it's going to be slow, and it requires the conditions 552 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 2: being so miserable that people think, you know what, this 553 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 2: is going to be incredibly disruptive for a while. 554 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: But we've got to try this, So he got and 555 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: he got. 556 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 2: Argentina used to be a rich economy, a rich, super 557 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 2: productive economy, and socialism killed it. 558 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: Because he's famous now, he got to play with the 559 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: Rolling Stones. He was in a Rolling Stones cover band 560 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,479 Speaker 1: when he was in his early twenties. Never dreamed that 561 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: there'd be a possibility he'd actually get to do it 562 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: with the Stones. But because he's a rock star of 563 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: a politician, he actually had the opportunity to do that. 564 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: Last year. I think it was, Oh, that's crazy. I 565 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: missed that. Oh yeah, if you haven't listened to him, 566 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: talked for two hours on the Lex Friedman podcast from 567 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago.
