1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: It's definitely not okay. I mean, smelling hair is always weird, 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: all right. I don't care who it is, even if 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: you're in a relationship. If you smell your girlfriend's hair, 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: she won't say anything, but in her head she'll be like, 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: is he a serial killer? Like, honestly, smelling is one 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: of the creepiest things you can do. It's it's on 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: the list of creepy things. It's right after collecting doll 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: pots and sneezing with your eyes open. You know, the 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: press line is hilarious, but the premise is wrong. Collecting 10 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: doll parts, the scent of hair care products is like 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: everything modern unit Smelling other people's hair, I mean, clean 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: hair smells nice, but you can be sniffing people if 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: you're in a relationship. That's it's just wrong, wrong with hair. 14 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: So that's interesting. No one took a shot at it. 15 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: I don't see any jokes from the other people. UM 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: watching the left leaning media CNN, MSNBC, they talked almost 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: none about Biden in the hair smellings yesterday, So I thought, okay, 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: the left, which gets to decide who their candidate is, 19 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: has decided they're not that into this story. Deborah J. 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: Saunders is the White House correspondent for the Las Vegas 21 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: Review Journal. She has a B A in Greek and Latin. 22 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: Well risk if so local is what I say, Deborah, 23 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: how are you? Uh, nobody's smelling my hair today? Which 24 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: is the superior language? Would you like me to? That's a. 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: That's a great question. So Greek or Latin? I like 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: Greek better because there are no rules. But the truth is, 27 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: the older you get, the more you appreciate Latin because 28 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: it's easier to understand. How many times have I said 29 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: that Greek has no rules? Well, okay, like early ancient Greek, 30 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: who was pre grammar. The Romans came up with grammar, 31 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: so you could go nown noun verbs just for some reason, 32 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: and well, the way that you would like the spelling 33 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: could be different, all sorts of If you read Homer 34 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: in Greek, which I have done, Uh, there'll be different 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: spell lanes um for different words. You might be too 36 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: good for this show. I've just determined. I've watched I've 37 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: watched Homer on Sunday nights. Oh my god, I understood 38 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: everything he said. So that's impressive. People can't read it, 39 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: including me, can't read it in English. You read it 40 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: in Greek. I did, Okay, how you're too good for 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: the show. That's what's been determined. So as long as 42 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: your patients for slumming it holes out, I guess we'll 43 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: talk to you about some of the stories of the day. 44 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: So listen, old uncle Joe Biden, the whole sniffing, stroking, 45 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: leaning in thing, creepy sexual grandfatherly, what's the viber on decent? 46 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: And how much are people talking about it? Um? People 47 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: are definitely talking about it, And I think a lot 48 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: of people feel that this is sort of let me 49 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 1: just tell you, I didn't think he was going to run. 50 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: I don't think he's running in I think that the 51 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: fact that he hasn't announced yet is important. It's harder 52 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: for you to get new staff when you wait this late. 53 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: And I think he dislikes flirting with the idea, but 54 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't really want to necessarily put himself or his 55 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: family through this. Let me back up just for a second, 56 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: because you mentioned it getting in this late. Trump didn't 57 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: get until June, and is the president? So is it 58 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: is the time just shifted with this crowd or what? Well? 59 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: I mean, look at all the look at all the 60 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: candidates who have real teams working for them right now. Um, 61 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: and Trump, of course didn't have a team for he 62 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: didn't need a team. He didn't need a team. But 63 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: anybody else who's writing, who's in politics, they want to 64 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: have a bunch of operatives. They want to have people 65 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: raising money for them, they want to have uh, they 66 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: want to have their own communications team, and they need 67 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: field reps and everything else. So Trum Trump, of course 68 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: is the exception to every rule. But if you're a 69 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: Democratic politician, you're going to want to have the staff 70 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: in place. And he does have loyal people around him. 71 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: And there are people who love Joe Biden. I hear 72 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: he is like the nicest guy in the world. Lots 73 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: of people say that on right and left. But as 74 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: the ancient Greeks say, a jackdaws always found near a jackdaw. 75 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: Joe was googling while you were talking at the top 76 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: of my head, roughly equivalent to birds of a feather 77 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: flock together. That's interesting you say that that. I'll always 78 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: remember Um, former Secretary of Defense and CIA director Gates saying, 79 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: and he's a Republican of of Joe Biden. Everybody likes 80 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. He's wrong on everything, but everybody likes him. 81 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: That's been his vibe forever. He just it's got weird 82 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: boundary issues he does, but he would be a hands 83 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: on commander and cheese get it. Um. But but man, 84 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: the knives are out for him. She got those stories 85 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: coming out, somebody's somebody's you know, highlighting them. And then 86 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: this story yesterday, which I guess was around but got 87 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: put back out yesterday that after Biden's son Bo died 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: of brain cancer, Bow's brother Hunter started an affair with 89 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: Bow's widow, leaving his own wife a twenty three years, 90 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: which is a messy family thing. And be tough as 91 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: a dad. I mean, that's God, that's roth to deal 92 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: with that. But it's out in the news again yesterday. 93 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: Does he want to does he want to have that 94 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: floating around in his life? I don't think he needs 95 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: that floating around in his life. And you know, I 96 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: just don't. I I just don't think he's running. I 97 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: haven't all year. I think that, Um, he's had a 98 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: great run. Why would you want Why would you want 99 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: to put yourself through a messy campaign where everybody looks 100 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: at everything you've done and it is sort of creepy 101 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: the way he touches women. Let's face it. I saw 102 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 1: Barbara Boxer in an interview talk about that former senator 103 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: from California and how yeah he's he's always done that. 104 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: Nobody felt threatened. I never felt threatened. I know other 105 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: women who were like, that's kind of but nobody ever 106 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: felt threatened. But it's probably not gonna work in the 107 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: modern era. Longtime female SLAF staffers are coming out of 108 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: the woodwork and writing editorials and the rest saying he 109 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: is a great champion of women and women. There was 110 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: never anything funny. It's just so that's fine. I just 111 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: I think, you know, we've all had aunts, haven't we, 112 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: her uncles or grandma's or whatever, who just invaded your 113 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: personal space too much, pinching your cheek in the rest 114 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, I wonder if he's that, um, you know, 115 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: just on steroids. But you know, as I'm reminded by 116 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: the words of Aristophanes, man is naturally deceitful. Ever in 117 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: every way Debora j Songs, you read that in the 118 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: original Greek or Latin or whatever to oh yeah, yeah, 119 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: I just didn't want to, you know, freak out the audience. 120 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. It occurs to me, Deborah, if 121 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: you and I were at some sort of bar and 122 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: we were both a single and set to mingle, I 123 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: could like run to the bathroom and google a bunch 124 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: of that stuff you having mentioned you're in ancient Greek. 125 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: That sounds like I'm hitting on you a little bit here. 126 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: Once dated a guy. We could both recite in Greek 127 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: the first ten lines of the Odyssey. Wow, well that'll 128 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: bring a couple of people together, the one that got away. 129 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: That's all it was good for. Oh yeah, yeah, so hey, listen, 130 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: that was fun talking about healthcare for forty five seconds. 131 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: But that went away fast, Benny. So I noticed that both, 132 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: you know, the Fox crowd and the MSNBC crowd moved 133 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: on to other stuff. Why why such a lack of 134 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: enthusiasm for getting down a business in the Beltway, Deborah, 135 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: You know, I think Joe Biden is liked It's funny. 136 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: I was watching CNN yesterday and there was a segment 137 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: on this and and Lucy Flores and Nevada wall Maker 138 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: who uh first wrote the piece about him kissing her 139 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: hair and stuff. Um, they didn't show video of him. 140 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're all these montages of creepy 141 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. And let's say said, there are people who 142 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: aren't going to like having a total stranger do that 143 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: to them. Um, so I just think that people don't 144 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: want to do this to him. But he's sort of 145 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: done it to himself. And there was a montage that 146 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: was done when a number of senators were sworn in 147 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: and he was vice president. Hey, listen, I'm sorry to 148 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: jump in, but are times super I wasn't joking the 149 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: whole healthcare thing. Why why why is there so little 150 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: taste to seriously take it on. Is it just because 151 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: it's such a tough nut to crack? Well, we know 152 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: that the Republicans, after spending X amount of years saying 153 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: they were going to repeal and replace, we're unable to 154 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: do it. And then ont of the blue, the Department 155 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: of Justice under Trump puts in this two sentenced things 156 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: saying that they're going to back this of federal judge 157 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: from Texas decision that Obamacare is unconstitutional. And it just 158 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: throws over this, It just throws arranging everything because it's 159 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: the day after the MULA report comes out that this 160 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: is submitted. So the timing is weird. It's also um, 161 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: the day before the New Green Deal vote, which Republicans 162 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: really wanted to use to embarrass Democrats because they said 163 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: that on the one hand, they say global warming is 164 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: something we can't wait on on the other hand, they 165 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: can't even vote for this thing that they say they support, 166 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: and so the timing was crazy and um. And you know, 167 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: you just don't understand with Donald Trump that he's serious 168 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: about because the other problem with Republican healthcare bill is 169 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: there was one that passed the House and Trump had 170 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: this big celebration in the Rose Garden and he had 171 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: all those Republicans there to stand with him, and then 172 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: he turned around and criticized it. Yeah, so it's really 173 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: hard to understand what he'll stand by. And that's a 174 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: real problem and he has in Washington right now. Is 175 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: so if if if he were to come out with 176 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: and say this is my plan and this is the 177 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: way I want to do it, I think then people 178 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: would take this notion more seriously than having this Department 179 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: of Justice UH in person into this case when you 180 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: have no idea what that means. Well, we'll see and 181 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: we'll talk about healthcare. And by all means. Debra J.

I've tried to read Homer's 186 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: Odyssey in English and gotten like a page in and 187 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: I and I can't do it, but I doubt that 188 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: anything was ever said better than what my Homer said. 189 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: Why do the things that happened to stupid people keep 190 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: happening to me? That's my life's philosophy, Homer J. Why 191 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: do the things that happen to stupid people keep happening 192 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: to meet? That keeps me in line. And I don't 193 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: want to brag, but I do watch The Simpsons in 194 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: the original English
