Today is Tuesday, September twelve, 10 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,840 two thousand twenty three. So nice to have you all with me. 11 00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:26,799 By the way, that song that I opened with that is Don't let the 12 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:33,120 Music Stop. That is Mike Laughlin and acoustic performance of that that he did 13 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,879 that I was therefore recording actually many many years ago. But Mike is going 14 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,400 to be on the show with us Thursday. He's been on before and I've 15 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:44,760 done a lot of different shows with him over the years, so but really 16 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,959 looking forward to seeing him on Thursday. I think he's going to spend the 17 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,239 full two hours with us, and he's gonna bring his guitar and in the 18 00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:52,879 second hour he's gonna play live for us in studio. Really looking forward to 19 00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:56,079 that. But that'll be great. But I was thinking I should pull something 20 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,280 out of his and I love that song that is, don't let the Music 21 00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:04,040 Stop. I don't remember if when he did that, only you know what. 22 00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:07,640 I think that was from his band. He's been in some different bands. 23 00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:10,680 He was in a band called Glorious Noise, and I think at the 24 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,960 time that he wrote that song. I think that's the band that he was 25 00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:20,199 in. But that's that's just him by himself, him and his acoustic guitar, 26 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,000 and I just love that song so much, so I thought it'd be 27 00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:24,599 cool to open with that because Michael be here Thursday, and I think later 28 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,759 in the show I might play something from the band Able Blood, because they 29 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,439 will be our musical guest on Friday. Today, we have no musical guest, 30 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,199 but we have plenty to talk about and tomorrow on the show. Of 31 00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:40,080 course, on Wednesdays, I'm joined by Eric Pilcher My favorite conservative. But 32 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,599 tomorrow will be a little bit different. He'll actually be joining us in the 33 00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:51,120 second hour instead of the first because there's another obligation. But we're clear for 34 00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:53,280 guests tomorrow as well. So I figured out, you know, if he 35 00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:54,800 I told him, you know, if you want to come on, if 36 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,680 you want to come on in the second hour, that is okay with me. 37 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,280 And in the meantime, if you would like to come on, you 38 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,639 can.

I didn't tell Mike I was going to 51 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,000 play one of his songs today. I was just it was a spontaneous decision, 52 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,159 but that's one of my favorites of his. Mike is a great songwriter. 53 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,599 He's written a lot of great stuff, but I do love that song. 54 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,240 Miriam Bannis joins us in the Facebook lap chat and says good afternoon, 55 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:10,240 two work days down, three to go.

Yeah, that's that clip that I played, and I put 66 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:58,079 the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme music behind it to make it funny, because that 67 00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:02,079 makes it seem less frightening. We're gonna get into that today. We're gonna 68 00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:06,399 have a little We're gonna have another little family meeting and have a little family 69 00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:14,199 meeting on the show about about about Grandpa again again, we have to do 70 00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:18,079 this.

Yeah, we do have to. Uh. The audio 74 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:38,959 that I played, of course, that was from President Biden's trip. He's 75 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,360 been traveling. He's a globe trotter, you know, as he himself mentioned 76 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,720 around the world in five days or whatever the reference was he he made during 77 00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:53,560 that press conference. But yeah, that was he told the story about It's 78 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,000 from a John Wayne movie. Oh, hello to Mike from Queen City Cabinetry. 79 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,800 He has joined us in the etch at room, one of our great 80 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,519 sponsors here at WM and and one of our co hosts on Retrospective Radio. 81 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:09,279 So, uh, yes, Biden was in Vietnam. He traveled for the 82 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,800 G twenty, went to Vietnam. He uh, he's he's had a lot 83 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:18,000 of meetings, a lot of traveling, and you know, he's uh going 84 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,319 to be eighty one in November. So I'm sure it's exhausting to him. 85 00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:26,959 I'm sure it wears on him. But uh, look, we've we've got 86 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,160 to We're gonna have this conversation again because uh, and I I take no 87 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,959 joy in this, my friends, I really don't. I mean I try 88 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,079 to be funny about it. I try to make it a little bit funny 89 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,519 so we can all have ourselves a little bit of a laugh so we don't 90 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,000 get depressed. But it's not. I mean, that's uh, that's only 91 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:49,120 part of the audio that you know. Jenny made the comment in the chat 92 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,319 room. It's so cringe. It is. It is. And I again, 93 00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:57,480 I take no joy in it. You know, what is something that 94 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,720 I haven't heard anyone else say. But I'll express this now before we get 95 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:08,959 deeper into the subject, is a part of what is frustrating about it is 96 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:15,279 I actually like the policy. The policy itself of you know, strengthening our 97 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:24,480 diplomatic ties are economic ties with China's neighbors. I think is a very good 98 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,360 idea, and I think the President, I will say, I think it's 99 00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:30,959 done a good job with that, just says I think he's done a good 100 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,879 job with strengthening NATO in the face of Russia's invasion in Ukraine and so forth. 101 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,720 But I can't help but wonder if it ultimately does more harm than good 102 00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:46,240 when we see what we saw at that press conference and the way it ended 103 00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:47,720 too. I have the audio of that pulled up. The way the whole 104 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:53,079 thing ended got really weird, really weird if you haven't seen it. But 105 00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:59,519 our friend Shannon is on the line. High Shannon. I thought Shannon was 106 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:05,160 on the line. Okay, never mind. But here's the thing. All 107 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:09,639 right, We're gonna have a family meeting. Gather around. Kids, Come 108 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,519 over here, Junior. We gotta talk. We gotta talk about Grandpa. 109 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,519 We gotta do this again. I'm so sorry, but somebody's got to take 110 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,480 the keys. Somebody has to take the car keys away from him. That's 111 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,120 it. I mean, it's just it's got to be done. Nobody wants 112 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,159 to do it. It's it's an uncomfortable conversation to have to have. He 113 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:37,200 means, well, uh, we don't want to upset him, but we 114 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,240 can't have this anymore. So so so there it is. Kids, I'm 115 00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:46,480 the thing of me. I'm being dad and I'm talking to the kids about 116 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,840 what we're gonna have to do. And little Junior, I'm afraid you're gonna 117 00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:54,960 have to be the one to have to talk with him. Why do I 118 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,919 have to do it? Dad? Well, I don't know. I guess 119 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,480 because you have a high voice. It'll be funny. If you do it 120 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,519 with your high voice, it'll make him laugh, and then he can't get 121 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:11,039 upset. Right. Actually, that is a good idea, right, If 122 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,799 you have to have an uncomfortable conversation with somebody and you don't want to upset 123 00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:18,919 them, just talk to them in a in a in a comically high voice, 124 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,879 and then how can they get upset? Right, they can't get upset 125 00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:24,720 if you make them laugh. I mean that would that would work for other 126 00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:28,000 things too, right, wouldn't it? In theory, like, uh, 127 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,679 you know, like, uh, hi, missus Jones, this is uh 128 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:39,000 Sam, the private detective you hired to follow your husband. Oh hi, 129 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,440 Sam, why are you talking in such a high voice. Oh, I'm 130 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,840 speaking to you in a comically high voice because I have some very bad news 131 00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:48,840 about what I found about your husband. But I don't want to upset you 132 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,679 because I want to make sure you pay my fee. You know, I 133 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,919 don't know, maybe that maybe that isn't such a good idea, but no, 134 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,799 listen, uh, Like I said, I like the I like the 135 00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:07,080 policy. I like the strategy I do, strengthening our our ties with those 136 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:15,159 in China's neighborhood. I think it's great. It's a great idea. But 137 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,960 when when I see here, here's the thing though, so and I watched 138 00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:22,919 the whole thing. I'm gonna play a little bit more audio from it in 139 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,440 a second. But one of the things that Biden was asked, uh, 140 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,120 you know, obviously Biden was asked about China, spoke about China, and 141 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:39,200 he was very sort of, you know, almost conciliatory, you know, 142 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,759 saying, well, we're not you know, we don't want to contain China. 143 00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:48,960 We're not trying to hurt China. Uh, we just want China to 144 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:54,000 deal with us squarely, or however he put it. He probably said something 145 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,039 folksy like he does. I don't know, I don't even remember it, 146 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,919 but I'm just thinking. So again, I like the policy of saying we're 147 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,960 going to strengthen our diplomatic and economic ties with China's neighbors, like Vietnam, 148 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:13,320 Like having the leaders of South Korea and Japan recently come to come to Washington. 149 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,759 I thought that was great. That's another great example of this. So 150 00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:22,000 the strategy is very sound. And I do commend him for that. I 151 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,200 do, but I can't help but wonder when I see him at this press 152 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,679 conference. See, here's the thing in order for all of this to work. 153 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,759 And I'm gonna say something here that's this is the kind of thing you 154 00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:41,480 would normally hear someone more sort of right wing say. And I'm not a 155 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,559 right wing guy, as you know, but but I'm gonna say this because 156 00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:48,919 this is just at this point in my life, this is just how I 157 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,879 feel about it. In order for all of this to work, so say, 158 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,279 for example, a specific example, in order for us to continue to 159 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,600 be able to prevent and discourage, I should say, not prevent, but 160 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:07,399 discouraged China from moving on Taiwan. America has to be feared. Now, 161 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,799 there was a point, there was a time when I wouldn't have said something 162 00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:13,240 like that because it almost sounds warmongerish, right, But it's just, you 163 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,480 know, I think I take a little bit of a different view of it 164 00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:20,960 as I get older, and I realize that, no, it's not enough. 165 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,320 If we want to maintain our status as the world's last remaining superpower, 166 00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:28,879 we need to be feared. It's not just enough to be respected. We 167 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:37,240 need to be feared. And I kind of had that revelation when I'm watching 168 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:43,840 this press conference and I'm watching President Biden, and I'm thinking, there is 169 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:50,639 no way in hell Xi Jingping or Kim Jung un, or any of these 170 00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:58,799 guys whatever fear that. Man. Don't get me wrong again, I'm fine 171 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,799 with him saying we're not trying to hurt China, We're not even necessarily trying 172 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:11,039 to contain China. You can say all of that, because that's basically true. 173 00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,919 It's not like we're looking to start a war with China. Okay, 174 00:13:15,039 --> 00:13:18,960 fine, but you also have to follow that up with but we're going to 175 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,960 be very very firm about X Y and Z. X might be can't move 176 00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:31,639 on Taiwan. Why might be you have to stop stealing American intellectual property, 177 00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:37,080 and Z might be you have to get the hell away from Russia. Not 178 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,960 geographically, of course, I'm not saying China has to move further away from 179 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,519 Russia. I'm just saying, you know, don't be so cozy with Putin, 180 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,720 you know, or whatever it is. You know, we're going to 181 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:50,559 insist on these things, so we're not trying to hurt China. In fact, 182 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,799 biden't even went a little bit further and said when China does well, 183 00:13:54,039 --> 00:14:00,200 it's better for all of us economically. And I wouldn't have said that that. 184 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:03,919 I wouldn't have said that. Now, he's not technically wrong in the 185 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,039 sense that our economies are so intertwined in terms of trade and other things, 186 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:15,399 so that's not necessarily wrong. Because if China's economy, which is already struggling, 187 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:18,960 if it goes even more into the tank than it is, that that 188 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:24,279 could actually harm all of us. So he's not wrong. But I wouldn't 189 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,759 have said that, or I wouldn't have said it that way. But it 190 00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:31,200 was a little it was a little too conciliatory for me. Again. It 191 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,799 was like that, like you know, Grandpa saying, you know, I 192 00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:37,639 don't I don't want to hurt you. I'm just I'm trying to. I'm 193 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:43,159 just I'm telling you that I'm doing this for your own good. You know. 194 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,200 Uh uh. It's not good. It's just not good. The way 195 00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:54,679 that it ended, by the way, was really here. I'll play this 196 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,639 clip if you haven't heard it to me. If you don't have a game 197 00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:03,519 plan, he may have a game plan. He just hasn't shar hang on, 198 00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:05,000 guys, I'm sorry. I think I think I missed the very beginning 199 00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:09,120 of that, or maybe it maybe the clip just starts that way. Oh, 200 00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:11,200 it just starts that way. Okay. If you don't have a game 201 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,840 plan, he may have a game plan, he just hasn't shared it with 202 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,480 me. By the way, he's talking about Jing Ping in that part. 203 00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:20,759 But I tell you what, I don't know about you. But I'm going 204 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:26,039 to go to bed. We talked about we talked about at the conference overall. 205 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,480 We talked about stability. We talked about making sure that the third world, 206 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,799 the excuse me, third world, the the the U, the Southern 207 00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:41,039 Hemisphere had access to change. It had access. It wasn't confrontation at all. 208 00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:45,120 Thank thank you everybody. This sends account press conference. Thanks everyone, 209 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:52,919 thank you. Just to be clear, this music that's playing, I didn't 210 00:15:54,039 --> 00:16:17,759 edit that in crazy with every person I met with smooth jazz. Okay, 211 00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:21,799 yeah, that's again for anyone who doesn't know, if you haven't seen The 212 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,519 Clipper heard it before. I didn't edit that in to be funny, I 213 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,440 did with the Curb Your Enthusiasm music earlier that I did not edit. That's 214 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,559 that's what happened. They played him off like they do at an award ceremony, 215 00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:34,799 like at the at the Oscars or something, if you've been rambling, 216 00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:41,279 rambling a little too long, thanking too many people trying to save the world 217 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,600 while you're at the at the podium, when really everyone just wants to see 218 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,720 you take your stupid award and go bring up the next contestant. I don't 219 00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:55,759 know, but the point is, but it's it's just who I don't even 220 00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,600 know who who it was who interrupted him and said that's it. But that 221 00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:04,039 was very awkward. We have a call. HI, welcome to Matt Connerton 222 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:11,079 unleashed. Who is this? It's John C. Hawkwood. Hello, what 223 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:21,119 is the C stand for John s ss air? Huh that's s's air uss 224 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,359 are do you buddy? Oh? I don't think there's a C in there? 225 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:32,799 Oh C C C P Oh there you you know what? I knew 226 00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:36,200 that too, and I didn't I didn't connect the dots or I didn't connect 227 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:41,240 to the cs. When you're a brilliant linguist like me. Was a flawless 228 00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:45,240 pronunciation of Russian. I'm sure I can found anybody, even a Russian speaker. 229 00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:48,720 Wow, is someday you have to come on the show and tell us 230 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:55,359 all your secrets. I think you couldn't hold them all by no, no, 231 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,640 you t you T is a lot of stuff. Well, we'll put 232 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,279 it behind a paywall or something, and so it's not like just anyone can 233 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,799 get to it. We'll make a lot of money, I think. But 234 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,359 I would like to raise a point. Do you think that when you're dealing 235 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:18,119 with the foreign countries that are not have no, they are not in the 236 00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:25,480 leaders as well as the people are not in culturated in the romance that America 237 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:36,599 tells itself that they believe that Joe Biden actually is a powerful person other than 238 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,880 a figurehead. Well, I want to make sure I understand what you're saying. 239 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,920 So you're saying that you that you believe that these leaders assume that Biden 240 00:18:45,279 --> 00:18:48,079 is a figurehead and not actually in charge. Is that what you're saying. 241 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:56,440 Well, I remember in the seventies when the people from the Soviet Union would 242 00:18:56,559 --> 00:19:03,319 give a process of like the nineteen eighty election, it was basically that the 243 00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:14,160 presidential candidates are chosen beforehand, which we've seen increasingly is true. The democratic 244 00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:18,279 process in the United States is hardly well as the economists would call it. 245 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:25,079 It's a flawed democracy, with Canada being a much better democracy according to the 246 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,079 economists, since it is a parliamentary system. But you know, somebody like 247 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:37,480 Jimmy Carter is vetted by Rockefell, this Trilateral Commission, which in the time 248 00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:42,759 of the seventies they didn't have the term conspiracy theorists because so many conspiracies turned 249 00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:48,160 out to be true and because people were being charged with conspiracy all the time 250 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,200 by the federal and state government. Very easy thing to prove by the way, 251 00:19:53,240 --> 00:20:00,759 in court at conspiracy, as our good deer of former Eater will probably 252 00:20:00,759 --> 00:20:06,240 be finding out, much to his chagrin, soon. Huh, I would 253 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:12,960 say so, I wouldn't think that she would think that Biden is the power 254 00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:21,119 you've seen him to trump to his power was circumscribed by the people around them. 255 00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:25,720 So for that reason, then are you arguing that it really kind of 256 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:32,440 doesn't matter in terms of how Biden looks on the world stage telling stories from 257 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:37,440 a John Wayne movie that probably most people in America haven't even seen, let 258 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,440 alone in Hanoi. If I was there and talking about John Wayne said to 259 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,359 the Indian right, if I was in your studio now and there's a camera 260 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,079 me, I would be very I get my hat off in front of my 261 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,759 face, trying to stop smirking. Yeah. I think at this point that 262 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:03,440 everybody had his bread and before this it's like God, damn, huh, 263 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:08,799 something's wrong with the United States. Yeah, but when you're dealing with the 264 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,920 United States, you're just not dealing with these fools that call themselves presidents. 265 00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:19,400 You're dealing with these mighty international corporations that are the United States and the government. 266 00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:25,799 I don't think saying that is any as controversial there have been in the 267 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:33,079 seventies. I mean, there are very powerful individuals in business and we're not 268 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:41,000 talking about like the mosques. We're talking about more established people like heads of 269 00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:48,599 defense contractors, heads of banks. The one thing the United States still controls 270 00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:56,960 is the international system of payments. You know, when you had detant was 271 00:21:56,319 --> 00:22:02,359 the Soviet Union. The one thing the United States would never allow is for 272 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:08,839 Eastern Bloc in Russia to become integrated with the international system of payments, which 273 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:15,000 severely hampered their economy. I know this is very boring and everything. No, 274 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,480 you see, I think I kind of becoming incorporated, you know, 275 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:27,559 through the World Trade Organization, through the various Bank of International Settle b iis, 276 00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:36,039 but Bank of International Settlements as such. But I you think that, 277 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,440 Well, wasn't even there was he? No? Uh. China and Russia 278 00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:45,119 both had a presence at the G twenty, but they did not send h 279 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,480 G and Putin both did not go. They sent a lower level people. 280 00:22:51,799 --> 00:22:56,480 Z deliberately. Well, we didn't expect put In the show upon he does 281 00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:02,000 some international restaurants. Yeah, no way in hell Putin was gonna be there. 282 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,079 I was actually surprised that she didn't go. But yeah, Putin I 283 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,200 assumed wouldn't be going, right, And if he leaves Russia, he might 284 00:23:08,279 --> 00:23:12,200 never get back in right right, And yeah, it's gonna might be another 285 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:18,119 tsar there in the very next day. But he did it, from what 286 00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:23,640 I've read to you know, to insult the United States. But yeah, 287 00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:26,720 I mean it's kind of embarrassing. You know, he's an old thought. 288 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,759 He always embarrassed himself speaking well, I mean, he's always been gaff prone. 289 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,079 But this is, uh, this is getting pretty bad. And you 290 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,039 know, and I remember too, that's the second time he's told the dog 291 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,160 Faced Pony Soldiers story from that John Wayne movie. He did that back when 292 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,559 he was campaigning. He said that to a college student who I'm sure had 293 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,839 no idea what the hell he was talking about, and probably hardly anyone in 294 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:02,559 the room did either. It was very very but he's uh. And the 295 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,680 way this ended, too, like is somebody just interrupts him and says, 296 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,640 okay, we gotta go, and and that that jazz music starts playing. 297 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,839 The whole thing is so bizarre. Well, you know, he took about 298 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,119 fifteen seconds he's going to ask somebody a question, and then he couldn't ask 299 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,400 it. He said, I'm doing what I'm told or sometimes, Yeah, 300 00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:30,559 who's all very bizarre. He shouldn't be allowed to do press conferences. They 301 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,599 kept breaking from press conferences and yeah depressed. You're right, so you know 302 00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:38,720 he did this hard of hearing act. Yeah, you're right, I remember 303 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:42,720 that now. Yes, yes, they'd have him. Uh. They tried 304 00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:47,599 to limit from what I recall, Uh, they tried to limit his interactions 305 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,920 with the press to Uh. He'd be walking to the helicopter and uh and 306 00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:56,640 and he'd and people, you know, they'd be yelling questions at him. 307 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,400 But of course the helicopter is loud, it's turned on, and he just 308 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,359 uh, he just got a shrug and wave. He'd do the the Reagan 309 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,640 wave and he kept on the helicopter and that was it. That was pretty 310 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:15,400 much. Uh. I can't remember though John did he did Reagan early in 311 00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:18,480 his presidency. Did he do press conferences and then they phased that out or 312 00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:23,920 did he just never really do them? He did fewers press conferences, if 313 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:29,480 I remember correctly. And memories a strange thing like I probably a year or 314 00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:33,680 two remember finding the magic bullet myself don until for the four year old toddler. 315 00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:40,799 But you know, just like we were all at Club fifty four back 316 00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:45,160 in nineteen seventy nine, Studio Gratudo disgraced herself Studio fifty four. Those were 317 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:51,000 good times, Studio fifty four. That yes, see how memory failed. 318 00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:56,000 Yeah, but in nineteen eighty four, the first presidential debate with the less 319 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:03,839 than stunning opposition of mister Mondale, the former vice president, he had humiliated 320 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:11,039 himself and seemed well, we'd say in hightsight, afflicted with Alzheimer's or dementia 321 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,759 or something. But he recovered for the subsequent debate, and they limited him 322 00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:22,079 and his interactions after that. But that's not unusual with the president that well, 323 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,519 the times were different. But FDR as he aged, you know, 324 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,640 he met he didn't. He didn't meet many people in the last couple of 325 00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:37,960 years years. I mean, Harry Truman only met him once. Of course 326 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:48,839 he was dying. But by the way, the market Melanie and the charem 327 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,440 says, toddlers are kids aged one to two. So a four year old 328 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:59,440 toddler makes no sense just saying, okay, a four year old type anymore. 329 00:26:59,559 --> 00:27:00,880 You have no children, so you wouldn't know this. I have no 330 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,559 children either, so I didn't even know that. John. So I don't 331 00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:07,480 feel better. I once said, what's the I once you asked my sister 332 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,799 as three kids and grandkids, what's when does a todd they become a type? 333 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:18,240 Because you've gotta remember we were born in the fifties. Uh, we 334 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,559 were Eisenhowe's children, so well, they still used old colloquialism like types. 335 00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:30,480 You know. Yeah, there's little tykes well rhymes with ike. When when 336 00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:36,240 did you cease being a type? You can ask Melanie that m I don't 337 00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:38,880 think anyone from my generation uses that term tyke, but I've heard it. 338 00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:45,799 But I think that people there was there was a great deal of hostility to 339 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,559 the United States and they're always has been because it's a gemanistic power, which 340 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,799 goes with any power. I mean, it's not a moral you know, 341 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,119 we might we can sit back and talk about the morality of a head em 342 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,440 andy and imperialism, but the fact is, when you're a power, very 343 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:10,440 powerful country like Britain for two hundred years and we took over the mantle in 344 00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:17,319 nineteen forty four, Bretton Wood, if you just exert your power. But 345 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,880 China has long bridled against the Western imperialism. The United States had a close 346 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:32,680 relationship with China because of Christian missionaries but you once you had the Communist Revolution 347 00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:36,480 in the nineteen forty nine, you know, we supported Chang Kai Sheik, 348 00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:44,119 who was a utterly corrupt, obscenely corrupt war lord who spent more time attacking 349 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,799 mios communist partisans during the War with China, which lasted from thirty one to 350 00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:55,759 forty five for the Chinese then he did fighting the Japanese, who had, 351 00:28:55,839 --> 00:29:00,960 you know, first intervened in China nineteen thirty one. And that's the regime 352 00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:07,960 that Taiwan represents, the nationalist Chinese who had thoroughly bribed the Republican Party and 353 00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:14,000 many Democrats. But Nixon, part of Watergate, those part of the reverberations 354 00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:19,680 of Watergate was the bribery of politicians by the nationalist Chinese. And they even 355 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,240 bribed the Billy Carter, so you know, their bipartisan that was the but 356 00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:37,119 in fact that reached up and touched a New Hampshire congressman family. Although we 357 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:45,039 won't go into the but I'm sure they see this in China as and other 358 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,000 countries that are even like India. We're getting a close relationship with them, 359 00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:52,440 but they've always been wary of us because we didn't believe in a non aligned 360 00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:59,920 movement. So Nehru was the founder of India always wanted to be non aligned 361 00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:04,599 because of the reaction against British imperialism. Remember that FDR was against colonialism, 362 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,720 imperialism, one to break up the British Empire. So you would think that 363 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,200 in we would have a leg up. But then we supported the colonial wars 364 00:30:14,279 --> 00:30:17,400 the French and Indo China, and then we took over the war. But 365 00:30:17,559 --> 00:30:21,319 the Indians are wary of us. You know, they know what the United 366 00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:26,680 States, the Anglo Americans are an Anglo American tradition. I bet they probably 367 00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:30,880 see this as a metaphor for the decline of United States, the geminy. 368 00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:34,000 But you know, yeah, we're still the one superpower. You know, 369 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:45,240 well, we have the corporate, the corporate, the financial muscle. You 370 00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:49,799 do you you feel that we're still the one remaining superpower. You don't think 371 00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:56,000 we're in a multipolar world with Russia and China. Russia's We've we have. 372 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:03,279 We staged a coup in twenty fourteen in Kia and overthrew the regime, the 373 00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:07,440 pro Russian regime, and people I know were there since there was no trouble 374 00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:14,200 until then. But the United States is tied Russia down. Russia has nuclear 375 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,559 weapons, but it's like Harry Truman said about Korea, you have you can 376 00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:22,519 have nuclear weapons, but you can't use them. Yeah, I mean that 377 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:30,920 wouldn't have stopped the wart. Yeah, but Eisenhower. More, that has 378 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:37,079 come out every two things. The Korean War ended. Eisenhower was elected an 379 00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:41,880 inaugurated in January twenty than fifty three. The war ends about June, but 380 00:31:41,079 --> 00:31:45,559 Stalin died around March, so that was a big factor. But there were 381 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:52,319 stories, and I think they've been substantiated now that I told the new regime 382 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,960 in Russia, because you know, when you lose a dictator like that, 383 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:04,680 everything's kind of in Chaoskushav established himself crucialva Ukraine, who gave cream Crimea to 384 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,799 Ukraine, which causes, you know, fifty five years later, sixty years 385 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,799 later in trouble. Yeah, not just imperialism. But they say I probably 386 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:21,839 had threatened to use the atomic bomb, even though we didn't have a monopoly 387 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,079 on it anymoth More, they exploded their first nuke in forty nine, but 388 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:30,559 we developed the H bomb, and the Russians new Eisenhower, they knew him 389 00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:35,160 personally, you know, so they took him seriously. But it was also 390 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:40,279 the Russian Soviet regime was by the week. But I mean you're talking about 391 00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:44,960 regimes like Russia or when I was in the just were a join the army. 392 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:52,160 You had three ancient guys in a row after Bresnap kicked off. They 393 00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:54,720 know all about sharontocracy. Yeah, who was it? Was it? And 394 00:32:54,920 --> 00:33:00,240 drop off Uri and drop off who was the last? Who he who one 395 00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:02,160 of the three? Yeah he was, He was in and out of there 396 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,200 really quick, right like he became the uh that he died and he died. 397 00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:12,720 He died within like months, right, Yeah, three of them went 398 00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:16,839 really quick, you know, Yeah, three of them went really really quick. 399 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,559 Yeah. But once again that that shows you the Soviet Union was ready 400 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:30,160 to collapse. Although me and other people that had dealt with Russian you know, 401 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:37,839 the Soviet Union, we're surprised when it happened, but it happened, 402 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:44,480 right, But then you get you get a rump version of the Soviet Union 403 00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:51,279 eventually, because that's the only reality that culture knows. But the Chinese, 404 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:57,920 you know, it's it's embarrassing and humiliating. But if Trump was there, 405 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,720 how we would be embarrassed? We'd be laughing about what he had said. 406 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,839 Well, Trump wouldn't have Trump wouldn't have Well, he would have gone at 407 00:34:05,839 --> 00:34:08,360 the G twenty, but he wouldn't have done much more. I mean, 408 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,679 he That's the thing I was saying earlier. I don't know. I don't 409 00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:13,880 know how long you were listening to. I don't know if you're what I 410 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,239 was saying earlier, But I said, you know, I like the policy, 411 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:22,280 I like the strategy of y. Yeah, of what Biden is doing. 412 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:28,440 I just but the presentation worries me. And I'm worried that the presentation 413 00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:34,199 of it actually does us more arm than good. Yes, but people that 414 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,679 were higher up in things that in the government than I was. But who 415 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:45,519 I know said that the Soviets absolutely respected James Baker when he was a Secretary 416 00:34:45,559 --> 00:34:50,559 of State on the George Bush, they said, and they did not. 417 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,440 Of course, once again it was we didn't really quite know is on the 418 00:34:54,639 --> 00:35:00,480 verge of collapse itself, right, and indeed it started collapsing in eighteen well 419 00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:07,360 when the East Germany and the Warsaw Pack started collapsing. But they absolutely respected 420 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:13,559 his word and they knew that when he said something he wasn't f bombing around, 421 00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:17,960 right. And the one thing about what I've heard some Kissinger and other 422 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,920 people the Chinese, The Chinese don't f bomb around either. They don't really 423 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:30,599 play games, yeah, you know, laying games as part of Henry Kissinger's 424 00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:34,960 whole life. You know, he's you know, but you don't view these 425 00:35:35,159 --> 00:35:38,480 he was, You don't view the you don't diplomacy. But you don't view 426 00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:43,400 China as an as an emerging uh. I mean, there's a lot of 427 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,039 different opinions. You don't view China as an emergent superpower on par or well 428 00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:51,679 not I shouldn't say on par because I know their economy is struggling, but 429 00:35:52,559 --> 00:35:59,679 potentially on par with the United States. Well, you have to remember that 430 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,440 the nineties, we were all told that Japan was going to overthrow the United 431 00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:08,320 States. That's true. Japan had no military power because they had been stripped, 432 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:13,519 and we provide the military power if we were if it wasn't for NATO, 433 00:36:13,639 --> 00:36:16,480 which you know I'm against, and the expansion of NATO was uh. 434 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:22,320 But you know, occupying Germany's actually a good business because the Germans would be 435 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,880 out of again in my opinion, but that's just my opinion. They'd be 436 00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:30,440 they'd be zig hiling again, you know, and snapping those boots right across 437 00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:37,960 the pollen border. But that's just an opinion. But uh, it's funny. 438 00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:42,199 You know, Kushav said that the West would sell the rope that hung 439 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,679 them. But of course Russians aren't Chinese. It's like we gave chin China 440 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,880 the rope to destroy the United States. But you know, all the brands 441 00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:01,679 that they don't really exist anymore that by the seventies and eighties were Japanese. 442 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,800 Those were all Americans. When I was a little kid, we moved all 443 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:10,199 the factories to Japan because it was a cheaper labor. And then there was 444 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:15,599 moved to Korea, including the Japanese moved to Korea, then moved to China 445 00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:22,480 and India. So capitalism as a way of you know, eating itself a 446 00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:27,719 lot. Britain when I was a kid was dying most of the well. 447 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,920 World War One bankrupted Britain and by nineteen forty they didn't even have the gold 448 00:37:32,039 --> 00:37:37,880 reserves to wage a war. That's FDR was the great man of the twentieth 449 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:44,519 century. He saved Britain and by saving Britain, he defeated the Soviet defeat, 450 00:37:44,599 --> 00:37:49,079 not the Soviet Union, carden the Nazi Germany. Yeah, because they 451 00:37:49,119 --> 00:37:53,280 were broke. The thing that they end. If you watch British movies from 452 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,800 the fifties and early sixties, they actually it's about working class people that just 453 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,159 don't like their lives. But they're going to facts like out the Great actor 454 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:07,079 Albert Sinney and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, which is very famous British novel 455 00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:13,719 of nineteen sixty sixty one, but working class live. He's working at a 456 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,320 bicycle factory. My sister still has the British bicycle that she had as a 457 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:23,199 girl. And but by the end of the sixties, except for like beetles 458 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:29,960 and the rolling stones, they had no exports at all because they took their 459 00:38:30,119 --> 00:38:36,000 capital and rather than invested into their ancient factories which are older than even in 460 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,400 the ones of the here in the Northeast, so they predate us, like 461 00:38:39,559 --> 00:38:49,559 Manchester in England pre dates Manchester and in New Hampshire. They moved their capital 462 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:55,039 overseas to get a higher return. And when I first moved went to Britain 463 00:38:55,119 --> 00:38:58,840 in eighty two, my brother was stationed in the Air Force. It was 464 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,440 like almost the third world country really was, but it was like stecting back 465 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:07,239 into the forties. Yeah, where else would you go to German West Germany 466 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:12,079 and France? It was first World, but it wasn't quite you know, 467 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,760 even in the United States. I would say it was the advanced society in 468 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,159 the early eighties. I'm not sure if that's true. Like, I guess 469 00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:24,440 you could go to one of these Arabic principalities and people say that the buildings, 470 00:39:24,519 --> 00:39:29,280 the hotels and everything are just so fabulous. Yea, even though they're 471 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:36,079 ridiculous in a way because look where they are, right, They like Montreal 472 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,440 in yearly seventies was a modern city. But if you could compare it to 473 00:39:39,519 --> 00:39:44,000 an Arab one of these new Arab cities or Chinese cities, it looks kind 474 00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:47,360 of old, you know, in easing. Yeah might not to me. 475 00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:52,800 Who's an old barn who hasn't been there? Well, because Montreal was a 476 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,599 city that was built after World War Two. Well, you know, you 477 00:39:57,639 --> 00:40:00,760 said, you said a third world, didn't also refer to Vietnam as the 478 00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:06,639 third World, and then tried to correct himself, But it had already it 479 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,079 had already come tumbling out of his mouth. Well, I don't think that, 480 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:16,639 you know, I don't think that most cultures, you know, they've 481 00:40:16,639 --> 00:40:21,719 got enough to b I tc h about without the petty a little law, 482 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,840 you know, microaggressions of saying third world. Oh, I know, you 483 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,760 know, what is it? The developing world? Right, and even that's 484 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,599 gone, it's it was Yeah, no, I know what you're saying. 485 00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:34,639 But it might seem like a small thing, but it's another log on the 486 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:42,199 fire, the fire of the flames of embarrassing. When you think about history, 487 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,599 just think about you know, I was in therapy with guys in Vietnam 488 00:40:45,079 --> 00:40:52,400 from the Vietnam War. Where was the G twenty held Hanoy I'm I'm I'm 489 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:59,639 young enough to remember that North Vietnam is a satanic country that was waging a 490 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:06,360 war or against the grave and democratic people's south of it. In South Vietnam, 491 00:41:06,679 --> 00:41:10,239 a completely artificial country that was created by the United States when it decided 492 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:16,119 to ignore the Geneva Accords and Denai Ho Chi Min his his one hit the 493 00:41:16,159 --> 00:41:24,079 referendum. He won. And now we're there, you know, well, 494 00:41:24,159 --> 00:41:28,760 we're making were we're making. Like I said, I like the strategy. 495 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,920 I like making friends with everybody in China's neighborhood. I think that's a good 496 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:38,519 thing. I just don't think Biden is the right Uh got to be Uh, 497 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,639 why shouldn't China. Why shouldn't China have the right to do that in 498 00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:49,159 their own backyard? Why shouldn't China have the right right? Why shouldn't the 499 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,400 because they're not the democracy? Yeah, most of those countries aren't. Well, 500 00:41:54,639 --> 00:41:59,880 that's true. I didn't. I didn't realize until recently, and I 501 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,400 I've done a little bit of reading about it. How and this seems to 502 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,760 be a trend. I mean you see it in India as well, But 503 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:13,440 apparently Vietnam is not not exactly not exactly a free press in Vietnam in terms 504 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,880 of how they treat their journalists, And it's similar to how Moody has treated 505 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:22,880 journalists in India. And it does seem to be the case that the people 506 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:28,599 who were strengthening are diplomatic, if not probably even more so actually economic ties 507 00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:36,440 with They've got some they've got some some things to improve upon, but but 508 00:42:36,519 --> 00:42:42,679 they're not going to improve upon it because authoritarianism and those cultures work. Yeah, 509 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:50,480 just like Russia, Ukraine too, and countries there have never known any 510 00:42:50,679 --> 00:42:54,559 way shape form any type of democracy. It's not part of their culture. 511 00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:01,599 They never had the rule of law. They never even had law. Law 512 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:07,639 was what, you know, bizarre are ukzy uk se. He just says 513 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:13,159 what it is and that's it. You can't really find there's no developed there's 514 00:43:13,199 --> 00:43:16,880 no case law in Soviet Union or Russia. And I'm sure that's true in 515 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,960 Ukraine too, which was so similar, you know, so similar, and 516 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:30,440 the only real lawyers they'd have were human rights lawyers might wind up killed and 517 00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:36,320 they would make everything into a human rights offense to try to appeal to the 518 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:42,639 European Union or something. But so you're talking about cultures that have no democracy, 519 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:49,119 and you're Hungary is an authoritarian country. Poland is an authoritarian country. 520 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:58,280 Poland has is run by a shadow dictator in a committee of safety that took 521 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,920 the rule of law and just you know, got ard of it virtually. 522 00:44:04,039 --> 00:44:08,000 But look at Poland. Poland was part of Russia to one nineteen eighteen. 523 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:15,679 Then it was conquered. Then it was you know, why would democracy work. 524 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:23,039 It doesn't even work here in the United States. Well, we don't 525 00:44:23,079 --> 00:44:25,840 get to vote, we don't even get to we don't even get to vote 526 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,960 for president here in New Hampshire during our own primary. I guess because the 527 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,639 president will put his name on right. Well that's a yeah. Well I 528 00:44:35,679 --> 00:44:43,000 suppose he has no delegates. Well let's see, but remember when Bernie Sanders 529 00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:45,360 won New Hampshire by sixty percent of the vote, he only got a third 530 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:52,639 of the delegates because people don't understand there are three tiers where delegates are chosen, 531 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:57,599 and that was just tier one. Are you talking about another two tiers 532 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,480 were controlled by the party. Are you talking about in twenty sixteen or twenty 533 00:45:01,559 --> 00:45:07,079 twenty? Yeah? Twenty sixteen, yeah, yeah, I'm sure twenty fifteen 534 00:45:07,119 --> 00:45:10,840 he got even less because he he barely won that one. Did I ask 535 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:17,400 you about if we talked about Mark Halper and what he said on Michael Smerconish's 536 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:22,000 radio show that Biden actually has decided not to run. He's just waiting until 537 00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:24,199 the right time to let it out. I can't remember if you and I 538 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:29,159 talked about that. Yes, and we did, And as I pointed out, 539 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,519 he said the exact same thing in twenty nineteen that he's going to drop 540 00:45:32,679 --> 00:45:37,159 out of the twenty twenty presidential election. It seems, you know, when 541 00:45:37,199 --> 00:45:42,000 you're a writer. You have all this crap in your head and it makes 542 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:47,440 it easier to write stuff. I call it a boiler plate. So so 543 00:45:49,199 --> 00:45:52,199 it's just if you're writing a sports article, man, the article's already half 544 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,079 written before you ever sit down. You know, are you saying that if 545 00:45:55,119 --> 00:45:59,239 you've written in a thousand time? Oh? So are you saying that about 546 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:04,480 Halper? And then you think he just yeah, this is his stick Okay, 547 00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:10,119 because I have noticed nothing he said on Superconishus show has filtered through the 548 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:15,239 rest of mainstream media. It's and I'm kind of surprised, but maybe I 549 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:20,639 shouldn't be. Well, you know, there's a lot of stuff going on 550 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:27,400 in the media. We just found some Meta is not allowing anybody to search 551 00:46:28,639 --> 00:46:36,320 for the word COVID on its new Twitter like platform lest anybody gets a bad 552 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,320 information, So you don't get any information at all. Oh, I didn't 553 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:47,840 know that. I'm not on there yet, the new post. But you 554 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:52,599 know, the exciting news, of course, is about our illustrious form or 555 00:46:53,119 --> 00:47:00,719 first Magister to the Republic, who I guess there's overwhelming evidence that he knew 556 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:07,800 that the election. There was no election fraud, ample ample evidence, which 557 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:13,199 is probably why we have to impeach Joe Budden. Well, as Chris Chrissie 558 00:47:13,199 --> 00:47:16,159 has pointed out, when when Trump came out of two thirty in the morning 559 00:47:16,199 --> 00:47:21,599 and said this election was stolen from us, he even if it was true, 560 00:47:21,679 --> 00:47:27,360 he would have no way of knowing at that moment, no data whatsoever 561 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,039 to go on nothing. So, yeah, of course he knew he had 562 00:47:30,079 --> 00:47:37,119 blast, of course, but there are ample evidence given in court cases and 563 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:43,400 testimony now in front of Congress, and that that he knew that the election 564 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:51,480 was not right stolen right, that that the enough people had told him it 565 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:58,079 wasn't gave him specific you know, right up until January fourth, you know, 566 00:47:58,159 --> 00:48:00,639 they're telling telling him. Yeah, Bill Barr told him. Bill Barr 567 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:06,960 told him flat out, it's it's it's bs there's nothing here, you know, 568 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,280 told him, told him straight he said, you know, I can't 569 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:15,519 say the word, but you know he called it BSh. He'll be convicted 570 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:20,920 of a felony by what do you think, June or July at twenty twenty 571 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:22,599 four. Oh, who knows, I don't know. I mean, it's 572 00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:24,880 not gonna matter. He's gonna be the nominee, don't matter what. But 573 00:48:25,199 --> 00:48:30,880 uh, I don't know, they might. I don't know. Why wouldn't 574 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,960 he be can happen in the year. Yeah, he's gonna be. I 575 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,760 firmly believe he's going to be the nominee. I I and and listen, 576 00:48:38,039 --> 00:48:43,159 if if Biden is going to stay in UH, he may Trump may very 577 00:48:43,199 --> 00:48:45,920 well be the next president. I mean, you know, I always say 578 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:52,599 we're just one Mitch McConnell moment away, uh from UH from Biden losing to 579 00:48:52,639 --> 00:48:57,679 Trump. It's It's true. I I firmly believe that if if uh, 580 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:02,639 and and after seeing Biden's performance in HANOI, I think I think that Mitch 581 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:07,960 McConnell moment might be coming down the pike. Yeah, but who's going to 582 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:14,280 One of the reasons, there's the famous story that Nixon said that he picked 583 00:49:15,039 --> 00:49:21,559 active because nobody would assassinate him, right and uh Dick Dick Nixon, who 584 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,480 was in Dallas the day that Jay his pal John Kennedy he was shot, 585 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:32,159 and would harass CIA director Robs Richard Helms by bringing it up about John Kennedy 586 00:49:32,199 --> 00:49:36,800 getting killed. So even Dick Nixon thought the CIA had something to do with 587 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:45,519 it, and they probably were essential and easing him out the door too, 588 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:52,119 you know, I mean, what was the guy It was E. Howard 589 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,840 Hunt, the guy who wrote the Detective novels and then screwed up the Watergate 590 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:04,960 burglary. Yeah, he had been a director of a dirty operations on under 591 00:50:05,039 --> 00:50:13,440 Dick Bissell in the CIA. But I mean, you know, I've heard 592 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,639 people say that he picked h he picked the Vike's president. I can't even 593 00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:22,239 remember her name. I actually know it, Kamela Harris because you know, 594 00:50:23,679 --> 00:50:29,480 you know, I associate with Progresses in California, and she did not have 595 00:50:29,559 --> 00:50:34,159 a good reputation, let's put it that way, right, and uh, 596 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,800 And as you can see, she's a real non anthony, a very abracive 597 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:44,679 person to begin with. But nobody wants to see her as president. I 598 00:50:45,639 --> 00:50:49,760 I did see over the weekend, so on Sunday she was interviewed. I 599 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,000 forget the name of the journalists who interviewed her on Face the Nation on CBS, 600 00:50:54,039 --> 00:51:00,320 and she she just she doesn't say anything. But when I I say 601 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,320 she doesn't say anything, I don't mean it in the way that. Yeah, 602 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:06,159 you know, lots of politicians talk a lot but don't say anything. 603 00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:09,239 They use a lot of words without actually saying anything, but she literally doesn't 604 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:15,760 say much like she she's she's asked a question and she gives relatively short, 605 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:22,239 unsatisfying answers, and there's just nothing there. It's kind of bizarre. I 606 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:27,039 don't think I've ever seen anyone quite like her. But also I don't remember 607 00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:30,119 her being like that during the twenty twenty campaign. She almost comes across like 608 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:35,519 she's just kind of bored with the whole thing. Does that make sense? 609 00:51:35,559 --> 00:51:39,039 Like leash, she's on a short leash, because if she runs her mouth, 610 00:51:39,159 --> 00:51:45,400 she she puts her foot in it. She says some pretty outrageous things 611 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,880 herself. You know, nothing on the equivalent of of Trump. I mean, 612 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:55,119 Trump is like you know, Jimmy Hendrix is to electric guitarists, to 613 00:51:55,559 --> 00:52:01,639 politicians with foot in the mouth disease. You know, he's the king what 614 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:08,840 Elvis wants to rock and roll. Yeah, but she was just a person 615 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:16,400 with Willie Brown's girlfriend got elected. Was she the DA And then she parlayed 616 00:52:17,079 --> 00:52:22,280 into California Attorney general, which is an elected position because California became a one 617 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:30,800 party state by the year two thousands, And you know, she's just there. 618 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:34,920 You know, the old days, the vice president was just some non 619 00:52:35,119 --> 00:52:37,880 entathy that they many of the presidents for it too, you know, right, 620 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:44,000 Well, I always wasn't until I was just gonna say, I always 621 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,440 say that it seems like every vice president who to a large degree kind of 622 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:51,639 fades into the background. But so I don't hold that against her when people 623 00:52:51,679 --> 00:52:52,519 say, oh, well, where is she, Well, she's where a 624 00:52:52,639 --> 00:52:55,920 vice president typically ends up for whatever reason, they fade into the background. 625 00:52:57,199 --> 00:53:00,519 And I guess there are reasons for that. But but but yeah, when 626 00:53:00,639 --> 00:53:04,920 but when she does interact with the media, it's like this, it's it's 627 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,000 just like I said, it seems like she's just kind of over it. 628 00:53:07,559 --> 00:53:10,639 Like I don't know if she even wants to be president. She just seems 629 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:15,760 like she's, uh, I don't know, wants to be president. I 630 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,440 don't know she I don't know what she wants. She doesn't seem to me 631 00:53:19,639 --> 00:53:22,000 like she wants to be president. She seems like she just wants to I 632 00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:27,920 don't know. I don't know. I just I saw that interview and it's 633 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,639 like, this is nothing here. Yeah, but that's who she is. 634 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,360 Yeah, I guess, I don't know. I mean, it doesn't matter 635 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:45,119 who's president really in many ways, because they are just a figurehead. He 636 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:52,719 developed the cabinet government. Yeah, that's why you could have like inconsequential Well, 637 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:57,639 I'm simplifying things to degree. Even Abraham Lincoln, who's supposed that we 638 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,320 got to a dictator because of the war the repel all renamed the Civil War 639 00:54:01,639 --> 00:54:07,000 in the late eighteen nineties for the sake of you know, comedy between the 640 00:54:07,079 --> 00:54:12,800 two It's not comedy comedy, right, sake of good relations between the two 641 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,840 sections. And because the New York and Boston banks and Philadelphia banks wanted to 642 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:21,320 develop, you know, get back down there and start look, you know, 643 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,960 squeezing every last buck they could out of the South and all of its 644 00:54:27,039 --> 00:54:35,719 resources. He ruled with a cabinet. I mean, Doris Goodwin was it 645 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,920 grs Kern's Goodwin wrote the book, but was it about e cabinet of each? 646 00:54:39,039 --> 00:54:45,000 I can't remember the title that Spielberg made that wonderful movie Lincoln out of. 647 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:50,440 Because he had the deal with with people that represented different wings of the 648 00:54:50,559 --> 00:54:58,599 Republican Party, like Seward, who was represented the abolitionists. And so you've 649 00:54:58,639 --> 00:55:01,960 always had the thing of you know, the cabinet government, something we get 650 00:55:02,039 --> 00:55:08,920 from England and parliamentary system, the English parliamentary system, the prime minister, 651 00:55:09,159 --> 00:55:16,239 and but by the time of Eddy Roosevelt, then Wilson, World War One 652 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:22,519 and that FDR, you've got the imperial presidency, which you know, Truman 653 00:55:22,639 --> 00:55:28,760 was an imperial president, where they started ruling by executive order and stuff because 654 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,119 of the complexity of things. But you see, if you have a weakling 655 00:55:31,159 --> 00:55:36,719 as president, it's not a good thing. Because you know, Jimmy Carter 656 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,199 was a very fine human being. He still is, but he's a lawsy 657 00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:49,920 president. He's just inexperience. But Reagan had an excellent cabinet and he had 658 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:54,960 one of the best people as his chief of staff. Remember Jim Baker was 659 00:55:55,039 --> 00:56:01,559 his chief of staff. Then he became Secretary the Treasury. When Jim Baker 660 00:56:01,679 --> 00:56:06,519 was was Reagan's chief step in the first term, they managed to get all 661 00:56:06,679 --> 00:56:14,280 that legislation through which was quite i wouldn't say radical, but somewhat revolutionary, 662 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:19,559 and that it did curb the old, you know, new deal, fair 663 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:27,119 deal type of government to the philosophy. Then he became Secretary of the Treasury 664 00:56:27,159 --> 00:56:31,840 in the second term and you had the big economic upturn, and then he 665 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:36,639 was a Secretary of State under the first George Bush. So he's quite a 666 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:42,599 remarkable person. And Caspar Weinberger was an excellent, uh secretary of Defense. 667 00:56:43,079 --> 00:56:46,480 The problem with the Trump is, you know, Jesus age, you know, 668 00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,679 what do you mean? Cabinet? Only the best people, the best 669 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,920 people, only the best people, what do you mean? Yeah? The 670 00:56:57,639 --> 00:57:02,000 first pre exisite. You can't be taller than the right, which when you're 671 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:07,599 six three, if he is sixty back, man, he's kind of easy. 672 00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,400 Bars. Yeah, he he topped out at six three. I don't 673 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:15,920 think he's six three anymore. At at at seventy seven years old, nobody's 674 00:57:15,199 --> 00:57:20,960 six three. But uh, oh, come on, he was done in 675 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,440 Georgia. He was six three in Georgia. Yeah, when he reigned him 676 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:30,960 Oh right, and what was he two hundred and fifteen pounds? I think 677 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:35,599 pretty amazing. Yes, the dude's a shape shifter. I'll tell you it's 678 00:57:35,679 --> 00:57:43,519 remarkable. Yeah, he's many things, right, that's right. Well, 679 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,840 John, okay, Matt, I will give you back your show from Professor 680 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:52,480 Hopwood. Well, I frustrated college lecturer.

You know, they realize that they've 683 00:58:01,199 --> 00:58:08,519 got a deal with I assume there are competent people, you know, in 684 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:16,639 his cabinet.

Our thoughts and 701 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:29,519 prayers were the people in Morocco and our friend Kim Mohammed seven six, I 702 00:59:29,559 --> 00:59:32,960 should say, and his administer, my administration, including a Secretary of State 703 00:59:34,039 --> 00:59:39,079 Lincoln as a twenty we at the G twenty there was sufficient agreement in the 704 00:59:39,199 --> 00:59:45,840 room on the need for Jess for justin lasting peace. And I hope that 705 00:59:46,199 --> 00:59:55,159 I think that primacter she I mean she has some some difficulties right now, 706 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:04,519 okay, I mean increase the third world, the third world, the global 707 01:00:04,599 --> 01:00:07,320 South capacity to grow. If everybody in the world had a job they got 708 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,840 up in the morning and one to go to and thought they and they could 709 01:00:10,159 --> 01:00:14,000 put three spears on the table for their family, no matter where they live, 710 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:19,559 the whole world, they've got her off. Uh sorry, if they're 711 01:00:19,599 --> 01:00:28,159 in fact able to generate significant capacity to absorb to prevent carbon from being released 712 01:00:28,199 --> 01:00:34,519 in the air, that uh pipeline of that railroad we're talking about going across 713 01:00:34,599 --> 01:00:37,880 from the Middle from India throughout the Middle East. So I have not I 714 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:42,760 have not given up at all on the notion that we're going to be able 715 01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:49,360 to you know, how can I say it? I think, for example, 716 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,119 the consequence of what we've done, we're the most, we have the 717 01:00:52,159 --> 01:00:57,519 most, we have the strongest economy in the world today. Right now today 718 01:00:57,599 --> 01:01:02,280 the United States America as the strongest economy in the world, in the world. 719 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:09,599 And there's my My brother loves having there's famous lines some movies that he 720 01:01:09,679 --> 01:01:15,119 always quotes, you know, and what one of them is there is there's 721 01:01:15,159 --> 01:01:19,880 a movie about John Wayne is an Indian scout and they're trying to get the 722 01:01:20,199 --> 01:01:27,559 I think it's a patch of one of the great tribe and the Indian scout. 723 01:01:27,639 --> 01:01:30,840 The Indian looks at John Wayne and it's points of the Union. Asso 724 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:36,639 says, he's a lion, dog faced pony soldier. I see, I'm 725 01:01:36,679 --> 01:01:45,360 just following my orders here.

Hello to you hashtag wondrous Swede. Mike 775 01:06:16,159 --> 01:06:19,400 from Queen City Cabinetry said, I'm having a pretty hard time following what he's 776 01:06:19,639 --> 01:06:23,719 trying to say. Yeah, a little bit of a Biden montage I played 777 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:30,360 there from annoy, Uh, let's see. And Rona Favero says, you 778 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,239 and me both brother. Of course, whenever I see the word brother in 779 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,639 print, I think of hul Cogan.

If you want to chime in on anything, we've been 785 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:11,400 talking about Biden's performance in Hanoi and again, I would just say, and 786 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:15,280 if you're just joining us in your regular listener, you've heard me say it 787 01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:20,239 on the show before. I do believe that he needs to let somebody else 788 01:07:20,599 --> 01:07:24,960 take the reins. I don't mean that he needs to resign, but I 789 01:07:25,079 --> 01:07:29,920 do think he should drop out and let somebody else run for the presidency. 790 01:07:30,039 --> 01:07:34,320 And there's still time to do that. And I've said too that I feel 791 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:42,480 that President Biden is selfish for staying in and somebody else is finally saying it 792 01:07:43,199 --> 01:07:49,239 using that word specifically, media has this progressive Jank Huger, who of course 793 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:53,880 is from The Young Turks, says the thing that quote no one else is 794 01:07:53,960 --> 01:08:00,440 willing to say unquote on the left about intensely selfish Joe Biden, it says 795 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,920 here. A progressive pundit, JENK. Huger, founder and host of The 796 01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:09,239 Young Turks, called out President Joe Biden Saturday for putting ego before a country 797 01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,800 and shared a petition, a petition calling for the Democrat to quote do the 798 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:19,119 right thing unquote. Uger posted a message on x formerly Twitter, calling Biden 799 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:26,159 intensely selfish for running again in the twenty twenty four election. The tweet comes 800 01:08:26,199 --> 01:08:30,000 after several days of news about a devastating new CNN poll that showed the president, 801 01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,079 in the words of Abby Philip, quote is being weighed down by many 802 01:08:33,239 --> 01:08:41,000 weaknesses unquote. Uger on Friday referenced the negative pulling in a post questioning the 803 01:08:41,079 --> 01:08:45,439 basis for a re election bid, and on Saturday went hard against it, 804 01:08:45,039 --> 01:08:51,680 writing that he's willing to quote say the one thing no one else will unquote, 805 01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:55,399 presumably meaning no one else in the party or the press is willing to 806 01:08:55,399 --> 01:08:59,840 say about the incumbent Democrat. Quote Joe Biden is being intensely selfish and running 807 01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:04,359 aga yet Oh, actually they have. They have the two tweets here. 808 01:09:04,399 --> 01:09:10,239 I'll I'll just read these right through again. These are at Jank Huger. 809 01:09:10,359 --> 01:09:14,199 This is what he said. Joe Biden says he is running for president again. 810 01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:16,760 So what Why does every Democrat have to listen to him? Why is 811 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:21,159 it assumed by everyone in Washington that descent isn't allowed against someone in power? 812 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:27,199 What a weird assumption. I don't agree. Two thirds of Democratic voters don't 813 01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:30,159 agree. I'll say the thing no one else is willing to say, Joe 814 01:09:30,199 --> 01:09:33,199 Biden is being intensely selfish by running again. He's putting his ego above the 815 01:09:33,279 --> 01:09:39,600 interests of his party and his country. So those are the two tweets it 816 01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:44,279 says you're In a subsequent tweet, Yuger included the link to a petition titled 817 01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:48,279 President Biden, Please Drop Out, posted on The Young Turk's website that calls 818 01:09:48,319 --> 01:09:53,199 for Biden to immediately bow out of the twenty twenty four race to make way 819 01:09:53,319 --> 01:09:59,439 for quote, the next generation of democratic leaders. The petition. This is 820 01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:04,399 an ex from the petition. President Joe Biden has had a long and historied 821 01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:11,279 career in American government. He rescued us from the possibility of a second Trump 822 01:10:11,399 --> 01:10:14,600 term, and we appreciate his service to the country. But at this point 823 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,800 in time, we must have a strong, healthy candidate to make sure we 824 01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:23,000 avoid a fascist takeover of our government. Dear mister President, please do the 825 01:10:23,119 --> 01:10:26,159 right thing and bow out with dignity so we can move on to the next 826 01:10:26,239 --> 01:10:30,000 generation of democratic leaders, and so that we can defeat Donald Trump and the 827 01:10:30,119 --> 01:10:34,199 radical Republicans. All right, So that's from the petition. It says you're 828 01:10:34,199 --> 01:10:38,520 at the time of the post, the petition has racked up approximately fifteen hundred 829 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,960 signatures, which isn't very much. But it sounds like the petition just went 830 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:48,439 over over the weekend. You know. Again, We'll go back to when 831 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:54,840 Mark Halperin was on Michael Smerconish's radio show and he said he claimed made the 832 01:10:54,880 --> 01:11:00,560 claim that high level sources close to President Biden had told him that the decision 833 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,840 has already been made and that Biden is in fact going to reverse and drop 834 01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,800 out, but was trying to figure out the best way to go about this. 835 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,319 But uh, but we'll see, and Mike Doyle is on the line 836 01:11:13,399 --> 01:11:18,119 him Mike, hey man, Hey, did I miss something that. Did 837 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:24,960 President Biden never come out and say I'm running for re election? Yes? 838 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:31,039 I don't remember seeing that that I'm I'm running again? Or I don't know. 839 01:11:31,199 --> 01:11:35,199 He hasn't been. He hasn't been doing any campaigning. And I guess 840 01:11:35,279 --> 01:11:39,560 I missed the event where he actually stood up and said I'm running again. 841 01:11:40,199 --> 01:11:43,960 But I missed that. Oh no, there no here, there was an 842 01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,520 announcement. Uh, and there was a that's a that's an announcement, But 843 01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:51,279 that's not him saying I'm running or no, he no what I mean because 844 01:11:51,319 --> 01:11:55,960 everybody, everybody's writing his speeches, everybody's writing everything for him, so he's 845 01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,840 just going along for the ride. But I haven't He hasn't done any campaign. 846 01:12:00,159 --> 01:12:02,840 He isn't. And when I found funny that you said, you said 847 01:12:03,279 --> 01:12:09,239 he should step aside and let somebody step in. Somebody can run against him 848 01:12:09,319 --> 01:12:13,000 right now, look at Kennedy's doing it. And I know it's the old 849 01:12:13,159 --> 01:12:16,079 thing. If you're an incumbent in your but this is special circumstances, right, 850 01:12:16,159 --> 01:12:21,560 He's getting getting up there in years, he's doing some struggles things like 851 01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:28,119 that. So I don't know. I don't know, but I I don't 852 01:12:28,119 --> 01:12:30,600 know. And I never heard the official I am running for reelection, So 853 01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:36,920 well, no, it definitely, it definitely happened. Yeah, Okay, 854 01:12:38,279 --> 01:12:41,359 I missed it. Yeah, oh no, there's an announcement. But but 855 01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:45,000 I don't think anyone's I don't think anyone's very excited about it. I mean, 856 01:12:45,039 --> 01:12:48,760 polling data shows seven and ten Democrats don't want him to run for a 857 01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:54,840 second term. And that's not that's not across the political spectrum. That's democrats. 858 01:12:55,239 --> 01:13:00,840 Seven and ten Democrats want him to finish up this and then ride off 859 01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,640 into the sunset. And uh and by the way, there's no great enthusiasm 860 01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:08,079 for Kamala Harris either. So I think, you know Gavin Newsome, who 861 01:13:08,159 --> 01:13:12,079 I think is running in twenty eight, but I could see him. Apparently 862 01:13:12,279 --> 01:13:19,079 Newsome has formed a pack and so he might be he might be kind of 863 01:13:19,119 --> 01:13:24,399 waiting just in case. But like I said, halper And claims Mark Halperin 864 01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:28,119 claims that Biden has actually decided not to run, but he's just trying to 865 01:13:28,159 --> 01:13:32,720 figure out the best exit strategy. So we'll see. And I'm surprised. 866 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:39,840 I'm surprised at Newsome because California is a mess. Their their financials are completely 867 01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:44,439 upside down. People are jettisoning themselves out of that state to get to go 868 01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:47,720 to another state. Businesses are going to Texas and New Mexico and stuff like 869 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:51,840 that to get out of California with their taxes. And I'm really kind of 870 01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:56,680 surprised. But it's it's more I guess it's more of a young stud sing 871 01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:02,399 versus you know, maybe political line. Guess I don't know why. Well, 872 01:14:03,359 --> 01:14:08,960 I'll tell you what Newsome has that Biden certainly doesn't. That Biden did 873 01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,359 at one time but clearly at almost eighty one years old, does not have 874 01:14:12,399 --> 01:14:15,479 anymore. Newsome is able to articulate for whether you agree with him or not. 875 01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:21,039 Newsom is able to articulate very well, uh policies and argue for them. 876 01:14:21,079 --> 01:14:24,479 I don't know, I feel like we might have talked about it before. 877 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:28,439 I'm not sure, But did you see his appearance on Hannity sit down 878 01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:32,560 interview with yeah, okay, yeah, so he even got high marks from 879 01:14:33,279 --> 01:14:36,800 Patrick Bett David, who hates Newsome. I don't know, if you're familiar 880 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:42,359 with Patrick Bette David's podcast, he hates Newsome. He said he actually left, 881 01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:46,880 he packed up his business and left California specifically because of Gavin Newsom's policies. 882 01:14:47,159 --> 01:14:54,000 But even he said that he saw Newsome on Hannity's show, and while 883 01:14:54,039 --> 01:14:58,000 he hates Newsome and disagrees with him on everything, he said Newsom really brought 884 01:14:58,039 --> 01:15:03,359 it in terms of being prepared and really articulating and just was very in terms 885 01:15:03,399 --> 01:15:12,239 of presentation, was very impressive. So so Newsom's got something, uh so, 886 01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:16,279 well, you know, I think he's I think there's some enthusiasm for 887 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:21,279 Gavin Newsom, but I don't know. I don't know if he's not necessarily 888 01:15:21,359 --> 01:15:26,640 a household name nationally. Certainly, if you if you go back and look 889 01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:31,640 at that handy thing, you'll see that when Hannity asked some tough about his 890 01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:38,119 state and upside down money and you know, people leaving, and Newsom has 891 01:15:38,159 --> 01:15:42,159 a good way. He's very good at like shrugging it off with an answer 892 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,439 that didn't that didn't answer the question, but he laughs into it and he's 893 01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:50,439 you know, he's You're right, he does very well communicating. Whether you 894 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:56,359 think he's communicating for the proper answer to that question, that's one thing. 895 01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:00,000 But he had a lot of laughs on that show, the two of them, 896 01:16:00,039 --> 01:16:01,880 him and and he seemed to laugh off a lot of the stuff that 897 01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:06,479 Hanny was hitting him with. But and and one last thing. Remember my 898 01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:11,520 prediction last year. I told you, I said Biden will not run, 899 01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:17,840 and I said Hillary Clinton will show We'll show up. And she's starting to 900 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:25,239 show herself everywhere on all the shows. Yeah, people, people, people 901 01:16:25,319 --> 01:16:28,640 said that in twenty twenty two. Oh look, Hillary's lurking around. No, 902 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,279 Hillary's not coming back. Hillary's not coming back. And by the way, 903 01:16:31,359 --> 01:16:33,920 Mike, you did also say that you didn't think Trump was gonna run. 904 01:16:36,079 --> 01:16:42,039 Yeah, anyway, that's all right, But that but that's one of 905 01:16:42,079 --> 01:16:45,880 the that's one of the fun things about politics is making predictions, and sometimes 906 01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,479 we're wrong and and uh, but that's one of the fascinating things about it. 907 01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,720 But no, I I promise you, Mike, Hillary is no nobody 908 01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,479 nobody wants to hear from. I mean, I'm not saying nobody wants here 909 01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:58,359 from Hillary. I shouldn't put it that way, but nobody, nobody wants 910 01:16:58,399 --> 01:17:00,560 her running for anything. Not at this point her her time is coming downe 911 01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,960 that golden ring of the first female president is still out there, and the 912 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:10,439 power that holds and the and the you know, it's just I don't know 913 01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:14,000 if it's enough to keep her out of the race. She's one last thing. 914 01:17:14,079 --> 01:17:15,720 Do me a favor, because I know you're a nice guy. I'm 915 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,800 saying that on your radio show. You're a nice guy. We all know 916 01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:25,239 it. But I hate when you call when you said, next time Joe 917 01:17:25,319 --> 01:17:30,520 Biden does a Mitch McConnell, I hate that because only because obviously what McConnell's 918 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,840 going through is some tough stuff. You know, it would be like you're 919 01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:40,319 saying, if Joe Biden has another Diane Feinstein. You know, it's sad 920 01:17:40,399 --> 01:17:43,600 that we have to even talk like that. But it's just the guy's hurting. 921 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,199 They like him or not, he's just hurt. Well, I'm not 922 01:17:46,319 --> 01:17:49,439 trying to be easy, No, I understand, I take your point. 923 01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:53,720 I'm not trying to be uh. I'm not trying to be disrespectful to Mitch. 924 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,680 But I'm just trying to make the point though, And I think it's 925 01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:00,720 a valid point that you know, if anything, if I didn't has any 926 01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:05,520 kind of a moment like that, Trump will absolutely be be the next president. 927 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:10,560 I have no doubt about that. And uh, Biden's had plenty, 928 01:18:11,079 --> 01:18:14,319 plenty of those. Well he hasn't. He hasn't had anything where he's frozen 929 01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:18,000 up like like McConnell has no no, no. But but if that happens 930 01:18:18,119 --> 01:18:21,359 and and and and I'm thinking about too. Can you imagine if that happened 931 01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:26,359 during a debate, if that happened to Biden or in the middle of a 932 01:18:26,399 --> 01:18:30,960 speech where he just completely I mean that that would be the end. And 933 01:18:30,119 --> 01:18:34,000 and I'm just so I just say that to make the point. Uh we 934 01:18:34,359 --> 01:18:38,239 you know he understand, you know, he should not be the point. 935 01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:43,039 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just it's just humanitarian wise, just kind 936 01:18:43,079 --> 01:18:45,680 of like I don't know, you know what I mean, they're just they're 937 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,880 both kind of him in Feinstein are both you know, they shouldn't be there. 938 01:18:49,399 --> 01:18:54,000 They're not. Oh no, I agree, we're not representing the people. 939 01:18:57,119 --> 01:18:59,840 Yeah, well we've talked about that before. I mean with Feinstein, 940 01:19:00,039 --> 01:19:06,039 it's uh I feel sorry for her because uh she's clearly uh non compass mentis 941 01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:14,319 and it's not it's it's it's unacceptable. That situation is completely unacceptable. She 942 01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,640 supposedly turned to her in a in a meeting inside where am I. Oh, 943 01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:21,560 yeah, there's been there's been several reported incidents where she doesn't know where 944 01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:27,159 she is. Uh, someone I think her daughter has her power of attorney. 945 01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,640 Uh, they're they're propping her up. It's it's uh, it's really 946 01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:38,520 disturbing. And uh, I can't believe Uh, I just I can't believe 947 01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,960 it. I can't think of another example in history where we've seen something. 948 01:19:42,159 --> 01:19:45,640 I mean, look, a lot of these people stick around long beyond their 949 01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,079 cell by date. But I I've never seen anything quite as egregious as the 950 01:19:49,159 --> 01:19:53,000 Dianne Feinstein situation that I can think of. I mean, can you think 951 01:19:53,039 --> 01:19:56,600 of anything quite quite like that? I can't think of anything. It's it's 952 01:19:56,880 --> 01:20:00,880 it's wheeling her in and she just looks despondent as you're, William are in. 953 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:04,000 It's just it's it's sad to see. It's horrible, you know, 954 01:20:04,239 --> 01:20:06,479 on and on and on. Oh yeah, hey, I have one last 955 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:10,319 question for you. I'd love to see just your answer and all hanging up 956 01:20:10,359 --> 01:20:14,439 and listen, sure, out of all the Republicans you've seen so far the 957 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:20,680 debates, who if you were forced to vote for a Republican who had met 958 01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:27,960 Connaton vote for at this point? Okay? But right so I'm just wondering 959 01:20:28,039 --> 01:20:31,359 what, yeah, what you've seen, and what's your take is so far? 960 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:34,159 Okay, I'll talk to you later. All right, all right, 961 01:20:34,159 --> 01:20:38,119 thanks for the call. I appreciate it. All right, that was That 962 01:20:38,239 --> 01:20:41,520 was our friend Mike Doyle. Six O three two five zero six zero seven 963 01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:43,279 is the studio line. If you'd like to get in with a call, 964 01:20:43,319 --> 01:20:46,319 six O three two five zero six zero seven, I can tell you. 965 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:51,520 Well. So to answer Mike's question, it's a good question. Uh, 966 01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:58,239 I don't think this answer will surprise anybody. But I tend to the kind 967 01:20:58,279 --> 01:21:05,199 of Republicans that I like politically, tend to be moderate Republicans because I'm not 968 01:21:05,319 --> 01:21:09,520 a well I'm not a Republican, I'm an independent. I'm kind of a 969 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:15,720 I think the best description of my politics which people seem to agree with when 970 01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:17,760 I the first time I said it. So I'm sticking with it as I'm 971 01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:21,800 center left but with a with a healthy dose of libertarian in some ways, 972 01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:26,640 too. But you know, Chris Christie, I would say, is the 973 01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:31,760 most moderate in the field of Republicans. So policy wise, I would I 974 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:40,000 would tend to go with him, you know. And and he's uh telling 975 01:21:40,039 --> 01:21:44,520 the truth about Trump and and and even if you don't like what he says, 976 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:48,319 you know, he certainly is he's not afraid to say any of it. 977 01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:53,479 And he's he doesn't care if you boo him for it. So I 978 01:21:54,199 --> 01:22:00,159 respect that. Having said that, though I will never trust him. So 979 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:03,159 policy wise, I think it, yeah, I mean, it would definitely 980 01:22:03,239 --> 01:22:06,880 be Chris Christie. He's the only he's the only real moderate in the field, 981 01:22:08,079 --> 01:22:14,560 right. Everyone else I think is pretty conservative. But I'll never trust 982 01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:19,760 him because of Bridgegate. And I've always said I believe he knew what was 983 01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:25,159 going on, uh, you know, the the traffic problems in Fort Lee 984 01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:29,039 time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee. I think he knew what was 985 01:22:29,079 --> 01:22:30,600 going on. I don't see how he could not have known. I don't 986 01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:35,359 think he's honest about it, and I will I will stand by that, 987 01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:43,479 but I guess he'd he'd have to be the one just from a policy standpoint, 988 01:22:46,199 --> 01:22:48,600 I mean, I like what Asa Hutchinson has to say, and that 989 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:56,680 he's you know, he wants to move beyond the politics of vengeance. Nicky 990 01:22:56,760 --> 01:23:00,239 Haley has said some things I agree with, like you know, standing up, 991 01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:06,000 standing up for Ukraine, not letting Putin get away with what he's doing. 992 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:14,079 And Chris Christy too. Chris Christie actually went to Ukraine, which I 993 01:23:14,199 --> 01:23:17,760 thought was really good. I'm trying to think, is there anybody else I 994 01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:24,640 would I mean Vake Ramaswami, I think is uh kind of a clown? 995 01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:33,960 Uh? Tim Scott interest I like his positivity. I think he's pretty conservative. 996 01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:39,119 Yeah, I guess it would be Chris Christie. You know, gun 997 01:23:39,239 --> 01:23:42,359 to my head. If I had to vote for a Republican in this race, 998 01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,560 it would be him. Uh. J Fed says in the chat room, 999 01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,560 If I had to vote for a Republican, it would be Trump. 1000 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:54,800 Wow, Jenny says. He says that like Matt has never voted for a 1001 01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:59,880 Republican, That's true. I have voted for Republicans in the past and Libertarians 1002 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:06,439 as well. Melanie says. Oh. Melanie, throwing some shade, says 1003 01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:11,119 Mike can't deal with any Republican criticism, but loves to point out the same 1004 01:24:11,199 --> 01:24:15,920 things about Democrats. Well like most people, he does. I think see 1005 01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:20,640 things through through a partisan prism, if you will, an ideological prism. 1006 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:27,319 But yeah, and again, like I said to Mike, I'm not trying 1007 01:24:27,319 --> 01:24:31,760 to be disrespectful of But I mean, Melanie does make a good point because 1008 01:24:33,279 --> 01:24:38,119 I you know, I come on the show and uh, I make fun 1009 01:24:38,159 --> 01:24:41,359 of Biden and I call him Grandpa and time to take the keys away from 1010 01:24:41,399 --> 01:24:47,840 Grandpa. And Mike doesn't seem to have any problem with that. But uh, 1011 01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:53,439 yeah, so you do have a point there, Melanie. But no, 1012 01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,560 but I'm not I'm not really Look, I'm not trying to be disrespectful 1013 01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,520 to anybody. Just to be clear, I'm not trying to disrespect Mitch McConnell. 1014 01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:03,319 I'm not trying kind of disrespect Joe Biden. But we've got to deal 1015 01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:10,800 with and I'm not trying to respect disrespect Diane Feinstein and neither was Mike either. 1016 01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:15,000 But clearly, but we do have a problem in this country. It's 1017 01:25:15,039 --> 01:25:20,800 the jerontocracy. And it's not about picking on people for being old or anything 1018 01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:28,520 like that. Not really, there's a deeper issue here. People become entrenched 1019 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:34,800 because look, what do when you see people who are very old. I 1020 01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:39,399 mean, let's let's be real about it. When you see people who are 1021 01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:43,079 very old and as I said, you know, past their cell by date, 1022 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:48,920 with tremendous power, why does that happen? Because these are people? 1023 01:25:49,079 --> 01:25:53,000 What do all these people have in common? Right? Think about it. 1024 01:25:53,119 --> 01:25:58,800 You know, Biden and McConnell and Feinstein and Pelosi who's running again, she's 1025 01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:01,079 running for reelection, will never be in leadership again, but she has announced 1026 01:26:01,359 --> 01:26:05,039 she's running for reelection. What are they all have in common? Well, 1027 01:26:05,079 --> 01:26:12,640 they're they're all controlled by their donors, by the donor class, because that's 1028 01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:17,159 who they really work for. Right, So it's very important to the people 1029 01:26:17,279 --> 01:26:23,760 who give them money that these people remain in power to continue to do the 1030 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:27,800 bidding of the people who give them money. And that's why we get into 1031 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:35,279 this situation. And I'm not exactly sure what the solution is other than people 1032 01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:41,159 have to start having a problem with it. In other words, we need 1033 01:26:41,199 --> 01:26:45,479 Americans to start saying, wait a minute, these people have been around way 1034 01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:50,319 too long. Let's get some new people in there. Because Americans can do 1035 01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:55,920 that. We have seen instances in the past where people get primaried. I 1036 01:26:56,079 --> 01:27:01,399 remember when the word primary actually became a verb. You know this, You 1037 01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:06,640 know this person is running to try to primary the incumbent out of the nomination, 1038 01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:12,039 right, so it can be done, but it doesn't happen enough. 1039 01:27:12,319 --> 01:27:15,600 It doesn't happen very often. A lot of people will tell you, well, 1040 01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:19,680 the solution is term limits or an age limit. I don't think term 1041 01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:23,960 limits. People who argue for that, they mean, well, but I 1042 01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:29,159 don't think it's the panacea that people think it that it is. And you 1043 01:27:29,239 --> 01:27:30,680 know, age limits, I don't know. You'd have to ratify. You 1044 01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:36,119 would literally have to ratify the Constitution to pull that off. But you know, 1045 01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:41,199 as Americans, we have the power. We can use our vote to 1046 01:27:41,319 --> 01:27:45,520 vote for I guess what I'm saying is we don't have to keep reelecting these 1047 01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:53,199 very old people. We can insist with our votes on younger people who are 1048 01:27:53,359 --> 01:27:58,119 not as beholden to I mean, look, they're all beholden to the donor 1049 01:27:58,279 --> 01:28:03,199 class. But we can elect younger people. We are the ones who vote. 1050 01:28:04,399 --> 01:28:09,079 So I think the real answer is we have to be able to have 1051 01:28:09,399 --> 01:28:13,399 honest discussions. And again, I'm not trying to be disrespectful to anybody, 1052 01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,239 and I don't like I'm you know what, I'm uncomfortable with. I don't 1053 01:28:16,279 --> 01:28:20,600 like how agist I sound, because look, the reality is, everyone ages 1054 01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:25,199 differently, And I mean, you know, I've met people in their nineties 1055 01:28:25,279 --> 01:28:30,239 who seem perfectly lucid and capable, and I would have no problem with them 1056 01:28:30,279 --> 01:28:36,399 being in charge of something. But we we have to. We have to 1057 01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:42,399 be able to when we're talking about things as important as, for example, 1058 01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,359 the presidency of the United States, we do have to be able to speak 1059 01:28:45,399 --> 01:28:54,159 about these things honestly and confront them honestly. So we have to be able 1060 01:28:54,199 --> 01:29:00,680 to have blunt conversations that are uncomfortable that some people aren't gonna like. And 1061 01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:03,439 you know, if that means, you know, somebody maybe doesn't like the 1062 01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:09,840 way I make a point, or somebody doesn't like that I'm agis or whatever 1063 01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,880 it is, well, I'm sorry, but these are conversations we're going to 1064 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:18,600 have to have. We just have to. It's necessary if you want to 1065 01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:21,760 have a healthy, functioning democracy, if you want to have a strong country, 1066 01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,239 we have to have these conversations. And this is very much on the 1067 01:29:26,319 --> 01:29:31,119 table right now. And Diane Feinstein is the most egregious example, and I 1068 01:29:31,199 --> 01:29:39,920 think it's horrible that. I mean, what should have happened by now. 1069 01:29:40,399 --> 01:29:44,000 I don't know. I don't know how these people live with themselves who allow 1070 01:29:44,359 --> 01:29:48,159 this situation to continue to go on. They won't I understand why they won't 1071 01:29:48,199 --> 01:29:50,800 push her out. Here's the problem, by the way, for anyone who 1072 01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:56,119 doesn't know. Here's what's really going on in California as best as I can 1073 01:29:56,199 --> 01:30:02,560 figure it. Adam Schiff, Congressman Adam Schiff of California wants to run for 1074 01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:12,279 that Senate seat, and he knows that if Feinstein goes early. If Feinstein 1075 01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:18,359 resigns, Gavin Newsom, governor of California, has already publicly said he will 1076 01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:24,600 appoint. Because different states to it, I think the rules vary a little 1077 01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:30,520 bit, but California is a state where if a senator resigns, the governor 1078 01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:36,119 appoints someone to fill that seat for the remainder of the term of the senator 1079 01:30:36,199 --> 01:30:42,960 who either resigns or dies or whatever happens. Right, if that senator goes, 1080 01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:50,880 the governor appoints somebody, And Gavin Newsom is already publicly said I will 1081 01:30:51,199 --> 01:30:59,079 appoint the first black female Senator from the state of California to fill that seat. 1082 01:30:59,279 --> 01:31:04,000 He has made that promise, and Adam Schiff knows well if Gavin Newsom 1083 01:31:04,079 --> 01:31:09,640 does that, that that seat's been filled, whoever he appoints might run for 1084 01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:15,680 reelection when Feinstein's term is up, whoever replaces her in that seat, and 1085 01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:19,119 then what's Adam Schiff gonna do. He can't run for that seat. I 1086 01:31:19,199 --> 01:31:25,079 mean he can, but now he's got somebody in his way. He wants 1087 01:31:25,119 --> 01:31:29,279 a glide path. He wants Feinstein to finish out her term so that he 1088 01:31:29,359 --> 01:31:35,600 can then run for that seat because obviously she's not running for reelection. So 1089 01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:42,479 that's what's going on in California. And it's despicable. And the Democrats who 1090 01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:53,800 are allowing this situation to continue are despicable. And Chuck Schumer should have made 1091 01:31:53,880 --> 01:32:00,560 sure months ago that this was resolved and a al Gavin Knewsome to a point, 1092 01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:08,760 whomever he wants, and Adam Schiff just has to suck it up because 1093 01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:15,680 this is it's just really disturbing. And Diane Feinstein, like I said, 1094 01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:19,720 she's clearly non compass I don't know if I'm saying it right. Non compass 1095 01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:30,000 mentis Latin. She was out for months and months and months, and uh, 1096 01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:38,239 it's it's I mean, I've seen video of you know, somebody's off 1097 01:32:38,319 --> 01:32:41,520 camera telling her how to vote because she doesn't. Yeah, she's lost. 1098 01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:44,720 And I don't say any of this would be cruel. I have. I'm 1099 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:46,600 a compassionate person, like Mike said, I'm a nice guy. I have 1100 01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:51,439 compassion and empathy. But that doesn't negate that we have to be able to 1101 01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:58,279 have difficult conversations about these matters, especially when it's gotten this bad. I've 1102 01:32:58,399 --> 01:33:03,359 never seen anything quite like the fine Stein situation. Look, we've seen situations 1103 01:33:03,399 --> 01:33:12,039 where sometimes people are struggling. God, I remember when Senator John McCain when 1104 01:33:12,079 --> 01:33:15,760 he was I mean he was really he was in tough shape. He was 1105 01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:19,520 going through cancer treatment and he was it was rough, but he came back. 1106 01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:26,039 He managed to come back for an important vote. There's been other there's 1107 01:33:26,119 --> 01:33:30,520 there's been examples of people in wheelchairs being brought in for votes because they were 1108 01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:34,720 missing a lot of votes because they were ill or something was wrong. And 1109 01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:40,960 that's one thing. But the day in fine Stein situation, I've never seen 1110 01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:45,319 anything like that in my life. I never thought that I would. And 1111 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:49,840 every single person who lets this continue, they I don't know how they sleep 1112 01:33:49,920 --> 01:34:02,359 at night, and it's it's horrifying. It's absolutely horrifying. Rona Fervero, 1113 01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:10,920 who is in California, says, Matt agreed one. Jenny says again, 1114 01:34:11,079 --> 01:34:14,079 you know, referring to uh, you know, the gerontocracy. They're voting 1115 01:34:14,239 --> 01:34:18,960 on our lives. Ffs. Jenny says, shared just performed and she's seventy 1116 01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:24,680 six and look looks as hot as ever. Well shared it, shares had 1117 01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:31,239 I had a lot of work done, of course. Uh. Jay Fed 1118 01:34:31,359 --> 01:34:34,199 says, I'm sick of four dollars gas and I don't mind mean tweets. 1119 01:34:34,279 --> 01:34:39,880 I think I think Jay Fed is uh playing a little bit there. Oh. 1120 01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:44,079 Tom Sapienza says, in the chat room, they sleep drunk with power, 1121 01:34:44,319 --> 01:34:45,680 that's how they sleep at night. Yeah, exactly, you're right, 1122 01:34:45,760 --> 01:35:00,199 Tom, You're absolutely right. Jenny says, uh, oh not not not 1123 01:35:00,319 --> 01:35:05,199 a lot. Only teetha knows. She admits, oh, chare, Yeah, 1124 01:35:05,359 --> 01:35:09,960 maybe I don't know. I don't know. Hey, if she can 1125 01:35:10,039 --> 01:35:12,199 still do it, that's great. Hey. Look at Mick Jagger. Mick 1126 01:35:12,239 --> 01:35:16,720 Jagger's eighty dude runs around on dude runs around on stage like he's swunny, 1127 01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:20,359 sings and doesn't run out of breath, and of course he has to. 1128 01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:27,159 From what I've read Mick Jagger, he actually exercises three hours a day. 1129 01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:31,720 He does three hours of cardio every single day of his life. Because he's 1130 01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:35,640 eighty years old and to be able to still do that, that's what he 1131 01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:39,119 has to do. But he does it. You know, he does the 1132 01:35:39,199 --> 01:35:42,840 work. And again, you know, everyone ages differently. I understand that. 1133 01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:45,600 I mean, Chuck Grassley, that's part of why the whole age limit 1134 01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:49,640 thing is a little dicey. Like Chuck Grassley, Senator Chuck Grassley of Nebraska, 1135 01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:56,600 he's ninety ninety one. Apparently he goes running every day, you know, 1136 01:35:56,840 --> 01:36:00,560 and he still seems perfectly lucid mentally. And that's why, like I 1137 01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:02,039 said earlier, I mean, you know, I've known people in their nineties 1138 01:36:02,119 --> 01:36:05,600 who seem fine, you know, they might have a little trouble getting around, 1139 01:36:05,720 --> 01:36:12,560 although Chuck Grassley doesn't. Apparently he goes running every morning still from what 1140 01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:16,239 I understand, which is incredible. So everyone's different. Everyone age is different. 1141 01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:28,920 But but when when we can see, when we can physically see that 1142 01:36:29,039 --> 01:36:34,079 the wheels are coming off, whether it's fine stein, whether it's Biden. 1143 01:36:35,119 --> 01:36:41,279 I'm not so sure with McConnell, because if it is true that these freeze 1144 01:36:41,359 --> 01:36:46,000 ups that he've that he's had are simply a result of the concussion that he 1145 01:36:46,079 --> 01:36:53,000 suffered from the fall that he took, then that actually is temporary and he, 1146 01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:57,359 in theory, will improve from that. So so maybe the wheels aren't 1147 01:36:57,359 --> 01:37:02,000 really coming off with Mitch. But when it's someone where you can see the 1148 01:37:02,039 --> 01:37:08,239 wheels are coming off, you gotta say that's it. They need to go. 1149 01:37:09,319 --> 01:37:15,399 And that's my point, and sorry to have to say it, but 1150 01:37:16,319 --> 01:37:23,520 this is something we have to confront. All Right, we are about out 1151 01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:28,800 of time, so we will begin to wrap up. Oh I should play 1152 01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:30,680 this again. This is kind of fun from the remix Bros. The Republican 1153 01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:35,800 Debate Remix.
