Let that whiskey bloon when you're being in love down in Low Well. 6 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.640 Hi everybody, and welcome to a special live recording of the Three Whiskey 7 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.359 Happy Hour with the original Three Whiskey Happy Hour drinkers, me and Lucretia. 8 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:52.079 John Yu is in Peru tonight and was not able to join us, And 9 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.799 I think he's off the machu peach you over the week in Lucretia, Isn't 10 00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.399 that? Yeah? And I know he's I'm not able to join him that. 11 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.039 Let's be serious here. I should be in much you peach you this 12 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.280 weekend, but I'm not. Yeah, it's too much flying for me after 13 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:11.159 being away seven weeks. And of course a couple of commenters said, ah, 14 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.000 more time for Lucretia, and of course I thought just the opposite. 15 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.400 Oh great, John not here to be my wingman. I'm going to get 16 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.599 all the abuse instead of just half of it. So yeah, well it's 17 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:26.120 been a while so you probably deserve it. Hi. Everyone, it's great 18 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.719 to see everyone out there. Yeah, that's right. I can't really see 19 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.400 him, but I know you're there. I can feel your presence, right. 20 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.480 So what we'll do, listeners, is we have three or four topics 21 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.840 from the headlines here today and this week that will work through. You can 22 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.719 guess what they are, the new Speaker of the House and Israel and so 23 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:51.680 forth. And then we'll pause every in between topics and take questions that you 24 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.200 post up here either in Q and A or in the chat window. And 25 00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.439 then we've got a couple of people sent in. So that's how we're going 26 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:04.959 to proceed. And I think, actually, Lucretia, why don't we move 27 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.280 to the fact that we've got a new speaker there. So it turns out 28 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.199 that I first want to mention that Lucretia was right about this all along, 29 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:19.199 that it mattered not even a little bit what Gates and everybody did, that 30 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.159 it didn't put the whole country into some kind of horrible chaos. Oh my 31 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.520 god, we I have a Speaker of the House, and so awful are 32 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.680 so the people who think that way. I was listening to what is it 33 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:36.599 If Harris Faulkners a bunch of chicks on, and then one guy in a 34 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.439 morning show, and I was driving somewhere, and one of the chicks gets 35 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:45.120 on and says, well, you know, finally, finally we can get 36 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.120 the government back working the way it needs to, you know, doing things 37 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:54.680 like a strong statement in support of Israel. I mean, she actually said 38 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:59.000 that. Guys, what the hell? Who kit? I'm sorry, all 39 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.719 right, that's to the speaker. I think Mike Johnson seems like a pretty 40 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.000 decent person. All the right people hate him, yeah, exactly, All 41 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.919 the right people hate him. That's always a good thing. But then again, 42 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:14.639 you know a lot of the people hated Jim No Kevin McCarthy on the 43 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.039 left because the left is smart enough to know who their enemy are even a 44 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.840 little bit. But I think Mike Johnson will be decent enough. Let's see, 45 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.439 do you think Steve by the way, Steve predicted they'd bring Kevin McCarthy 46 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.719 back, Well, that was kind of tongue in cheek, mostly to bait 47 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:34.199 you. But I also think I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's still 48 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.439 waiting in the wings thinking Mike Johnson will fall in his face. Now we're 49 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.479 actually in rare agreement here, I mean, finally we can get things done. 50 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.120 I remember, you know, when Reagan was well exactly, I remember 51 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.080 when Reagan was lying in his hospital bed after he was shot, and he 52 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.520 woke up the next day and Jim Baker and ed me so they to tell 53 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.879 him that the government is running smoothly. And Reagan, who couldn't speak, 54 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.560 he had a you know, tube in this down his throat, scribbled out 55 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.400 the piece of paper. What makes you think I'd be happy to hear that? 56 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.639 What should? He had? His disposition and humor all about him, 57 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.879 you and though he was in extreme pain. Yeah, I mean to me, 58 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.360 well, first of all, I do want to turn to the way 59 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.879 he's freaking out the left and the way Kevin McCarthy never did. I mean, 60 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.720 yeah, you had to attack Kevin McCarthy because you know, MAGA and 61 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:25.680 all the usual slogans that Democrats are wedded to. But I did hear some 62 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.120 conservatives who I think ought to know better say, gosh, you know, 63 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.720 he's only in his third or fourth term. He doesn't have much experience and 64 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.279 I'm thinking to myself, you know, we're in the current state we're in 65 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:42.160 with veteran experienced politicians, How could we possibly do worse than what we've been 66 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.560 these dumb things. I think it's the twenty four hour cable news cycle where 67 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.800 you just have to fill up the time with a bunch of stupid stuff. 68 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.920 Well, this was I'm not going to name names. I'll just say it's 69 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:58.279 some smart people who ought to know better about these things. They don't, 70 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.439 though, because they all think like inside the beltwayh idiots. Yeah, it's 71 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.879 just you know, I mean, there's something in the water that destroys brain 72 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.920 cells, and the longer you're there, the more brain cells it destroys. 73 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:14.160 And then you'd all become the sort of part of the board and you can't 74 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.560 think for yourself anymore. That's what happens. But I think Mike Johnson, 75 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:24.160 you know what's I hate to say it, but he will be a success 76 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.920 if he manages to get how many how many budgets do we actually need to 77 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.120 get passed if we don't want to have a continuing resolution? I forget I'm 78 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.639 gonna say eight or nine. You're this expert in these things, Steve if 79 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.759 he could actually force those committees into you know, take the momentum of the 80 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:46.240 occasion and move forward with it and get actual budgets out of these people with 81 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.439 low spending, low increases in spending. Our government will never be low spending. 82 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.759 But no, and and not give in to the Democrats and not. 83 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.959 You know, one of the problems that you have going on right now in 84 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.959 Washington with both the House and the Senate is that the UNI Party is comprised 85 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:12.839 of essentially two different parties, but what they share in common is a willingness 86 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.759 to spend all the money that they have to to get their priorities and then 87 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.279 give their the priorities to the other side to get them to agree. So, 88 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:24.560 you know, it used to be a simple thing about defense. You 89 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.040 know, think about sequestration. The whole point of sequestration was, Oh, 90 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.800 if you don't pass a budget, then we're going to have sequestration, and 91 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.879 the cuts are going to be across the board, and it's going to hurt 92 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:39.839 defense just as much as it hurts other kinds of discretionary spending. I won't 93 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.399 even go into all the ways that it's just stupid, But now you have 94 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.560 idiots in the Republican Party who just want to keep giving more and more and 95 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.000 more and more money to the military. Idiots on the right saying, oh, 96 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:55.720 this has been so great to have these wars in Ukraine and now Israel 97 00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:00.839 because we can see where we're not building up our infrastructure making sure that our 98 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.720 defense contractors are ready to go, and we're not funneling money to them. 99 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.519 We weren't, now we are. You know, just dumb things like that 100 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:12.000 drives me. Well, yeah, okay, but look, one of the 101 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.639 arguments about defense is, well, look, we're not building enough submarines fast 102 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:21.319 enough where the Navy is deteriorated. Put two billion dollars into the defense budget, 103 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:26.920 they still won't build submarines. They'll more drags, queen shows on basis 104 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:32.000 for children, or or on the ships themselves. No, I'm not studied 105 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.839 the defense budget in thirty years, so I don't know exactly how it all 106 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.959 falls out. But the question is, and one of our questioners, Eric 107 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.759 Little, says, we're going to return to regular order, that's the term 108 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.639 of art, and you just raised that it's actually going to be hard to 109 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.519 do in the what two or three weeks we have until the current Continuing Resolution 110 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.120 runs out. So that's going to be difficult for anybody. I don't care 111 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:58.639 how experienced or inexperienced they are. So as Trump likes to say, we'll 112 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.360 just have to see what happened. Meanwhile, I do want to share with 113 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:09.439 listeners the way the left is freaking out about Johnson. So the New Republic 114 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.560 magazine is all worked up and they have a quote from Johnson from the speech 115 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.079 he gave back in Louisiana to three years ago. And here's the quote, 116 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.800 and see if you're freaked out by it. Mike Johnson quote. You remember 117 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.399 the late sixties. We invented things like no fault divorce laws. We invented 118 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:33.360 the sexual revolution, we invented radical feminism, we invented legalized abortion in nineteen 119 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.360 seventy three, where the state, the government sanctions the killing of the unborn. 120 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.399 I mean, we know that we're living in a completely a moral society. 121 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.279 And so people say, how can a young person go into their schoolhouse 122 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:50.279 and open fire on their classmates because we've taught a whole generation, a couple 123 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.759 generations now of Americans that there is no right and wrong end quote. Well, 124 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.200 it sounds pretty good to me. I'm liking this guy better all the 125 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:05.120 time, right, Yeah, of course absolutely. It makes me hopeful, 126 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.600 slightly hopeful, because you know me, I'm never really all that optimistic, 127 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:16.960 but slightly hopeful that he has a strong enough understanding that he's not just a 128 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.080 smarmy politician. He gets what the problems are. You can't even begin to 129 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.200 fix the problems if you don't know what the source of those problems are. 130 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:30.960 That's in my opinion, and that, of course, is the source. 131 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:37.000 We have replaced God. There are a lot of moral people out there that 132 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.559 don't believe in God. So when I say that everyone, I kind of 133 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:46.279 sort of mean in the largest sense, we've replaced good and evil with It's 134 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.759 my truth, my lived experience. Those are the things that matter, not 135 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:58.480 your judgment, not society's judgment of my behavior. But what I'd like to 136 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.440 hear him say now is, not only did we do all those things in 137 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:07.639 the sixties and built on that, you know, consistent a morality, constantly 138 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.799 chipping away at whatever moral reasoning is written into the heart of human beings, 139 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:18.039 to the point where we're now purposely going out to destroy morality, not just 140 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.879 sort of live and let live. And you know, the sexual revolution and 141 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:26.320 everybody can take the pill with no consequences. Now we are if you're a 142 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.080 heterosexual, if you're married, if you want children, that in and of 143 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:39.960 itself is an affront to someone else's lived experience and sexual preferences and sexual identity 144 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.039 or even not quite human identity. They want to be a furrey, you 145 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:52.559 know, whatever it might be. You can't be a moral human being that. 146 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:58.159 For millennia, we have known that there are certain behaviors marriage, family, 147 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:05.000 etc. That contribute to happiness. We know that it's not a mystery. 148 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.679 Well we I'm calling this time a living in the age of proprietary truth. 149 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.679 I mean, that's my summary of people saying my truth, your truth, 150 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:15.960 you know whatever, which means we don't have any at all. All 151 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.720 right, let's get out speaking of killing brain cells. What whiskey you drinking. 152 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.399 I am glad to be back home and having my beloved lefroyganhand as usual. 153 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:30.159 I'm having a Glenn fittitch. I think it's a fourteen year old. 154 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.320 I don't know, I don't remember. It wasn't a thing, and so 155 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.519 I just grabbed it because I almost forgot. It's a little bit early for 156 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:45.799 god. I thought pretentious I thought i'd share a God. I thought i'd 157 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:50.399 share a happy Friday picture of Roger Scrutin with our listeners who are viewing us 158 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.960 today anyway, And plus I knew it would annoy you, So I know, 159 00:11:54.159 --> 00:12:03.000 Okay, Jim says Ukraine has band an entire Christian denomination? You mean 160 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.879 like Russian Orthodox? Is that what you're talking about? Sea Tucker's ten minute 161 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:16.320 interview. I actually every day I become more and more against any kind of 162 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.879 support for Ukraine. Did everybody see what came out from early on in the 163 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:30.279 Ukraine conflict where there was actually a negotiated settlement between Kutin and Zelensky, and 164 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:35.919 our idiot people stopped it. Macrone stopped it. What the hell was that 165 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:43.639 dumb person? And Merkel stopped it. They actually were ready to negotiate a 166 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.480 settlement, and Merkle was out of office. It couldn't have been her when 167 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.519 it started it started, she was out of office. I thought she was 168 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.039 right at the beginning. No, off Schultz was in by then, and 169 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.919 now now he's talked a big game and not delivered. But that's a different 170 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.679 story. Anyway. I am glad what you mentioned earlier. You said this 171 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.120 earlier before we got on the podcast, Steve, and I'm going backwards, 172 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:13.679 but that Johnson at least tried to pull the funding and other kinds of support 173 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.159 for Ukraine away from the funding and support for Israel. And by the way, 174 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.360 this is a Friday afternoon. When we're doing this, the ground invasion, 175 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.759 the invasion of Gaza has more or less begun. There is more. 176 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.399 Okay, go ahead, go ahead. Well, I will say, let's 177 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:37.120 turn that next. Except you know, the question Doppler asked, is I 178 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.559 guess the Ukraine is cracking down on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church if the news accounts 179 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.480 are correct, and one of the problems. Look, I am a member 180 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.039 of the Orthodox Church, although a different branch of it. There's several branches 181 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.519 of Eastern Orthodoxy, but both the Russian and of course, going back to 182 00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:00.519 Soviet days, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church were deeply compromised by the Communists. And 183 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.960 I'm not sure, I'm confident. I'm sorry, I know, I'm not 184 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.240 confident in the Russian Orthodox Church today. I think it's a branch of the 185 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.320 government, and I'm not sure about the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. But I need 186 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.200 to know more to make a judgment. About that, but I think you 187 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.799 should file that one away, as we need to know more to make a 188 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.720 full evaluation of what's going on. That's what I think you're going to I 189 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.360 don't want to talk anymore. I just want to read the comments. They 190 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.759 always make me so happy. I thought you were going to take up one 191 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.440 of the questions that somebody says the question. I just see great comments. 192 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:41.519 Yeah, other than any bourbon drinkers and whistlepig what everybody's drinking? Okay, 193 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:48.480 and somebody is accusing me of child abuse with my fourteen year old Okay, 194 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.559 enough of that, all right, Now you want to take up topic too, 195 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.200 I do. I got to figure out your to Okay, what is 196 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:03.039 actually happening in Israel? You know, well, what's happening. I will 197 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.679 say this, and I'm interested to see in the comments what you guys, 198 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.080 what your reaction to this is what I wanted most from the United States was 199 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:20.919 unequivocal, moral, publicly stated support for destroying Hamas. And I you know, 200 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.679 I'm a little less convinced that we need to be sending them massive amounts 201 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.200 of money and arms and so on. I'm okay with sending them back the 202 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:35.799 iron domes we government. But more important to me than anything was the fact 203 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:41.320 that our government, our State Department, et cetera, would never so much 204 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.480 as even this much walk back their full support for wiping Hamas off the face 205 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:52.320 of the planet. And of course, in the midst of the beginning of 206 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.279 the offensive whatever, we're still not sure exactly the extent to which this offensive 207 00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:02.480 is happening at this time, but in the midst of it, the Biden 208 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:07.679 administration is already talking about a pause. It's time for a pause. Yeah, 209 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.320 and I mean, like I said, it's the worst of both worlds. 210 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.000 Everybody wants to send money. Everyone'sbody wants to send the weapons, or 211 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.440 at least they want to get the kickbacks from doing so through our defense contractors. 212 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:26.320 But what they're not doing is giving an unequivocal moral support. Did you 213 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:33.039 hear that dumb mop head the other day? Steam when asked about when asked 214 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:41.320 about Jewish about oh yes, right, violence and harassment and discrimination against Jews, 215 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.759 she said that she hadn't heard of any, but that we have no 216 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.279 incredible information about that. We're more worried about Islamophobia. Yeah, it was 217 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:53.799 Oh sorry, go ahead, I didn't well even she had to walk it 218 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.200 back the next day because I think people told her. Even the Biden White 219 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:02.519 House knows that that was idiocy made or walked it back. So either that 220 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:06.079 or they just saw the backlash. But the funniest thing about all that was 221 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.759 is that the Babylon B not Seth Dylan, but the next guy. The 222 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:17.440 Babylon B actually put it on a tweet that said this was the headline we 223 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:21.519 were gonna run. And then they did run it. They didn't run the 224 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.000 day before. They know they ran it. They ran it the day of, 225 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.400 but they were gonna run it. They'd put it together before before Mop 226 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.200 had said what she said, which was basically that I forget exactly how it 227 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.920 went, but something about we're much more concerned about Islamophobia than we are about, 228 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:44.279 in a joking way, about violence against Jews. Yeah. By the 229 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.200 way, I can't believe we've gotten this far in the timeline of recent events 230 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:53.880 to not make the connection that the mophead should be a perfect match for Sam 231 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.960 Bankman Free because they have the same hairstyle, Or at least it did until 232 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:02.640 Free Guns Scared shows you what you know about hair, Steve and I gather 233 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:07.039 why you're not an expert, but there is a huge difference between the nasty 234 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:12.480 dreadlock she has and just messy, curly hair that you don't wash. There's 235 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:17.039 a difference. But anyway, yeah, okay, tell me what you think 236 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:21.240 about Hamas and Israel's defensive today. Well, actually, I want to separate 237 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.480 those questions. I don't want to connect Maas to our third topic, which 238 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:27.480 is the scene on campus right now that's even worse than we think, I 239 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:32.400 think. So look, I mean, one thing that came out a day 240 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.200 or two ago is that American forces actually took some casualties, no one killed, 241 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:42.160 but several soldiers injured from some of the rockets launched by the Iranian supported 242 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:47.559 groups in Yemen, and I think in Syria, and there have been I 243 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:52.519 guess air strikes are missile strikes from American forces against Iranian backed forces in Syria 244 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.440 that are apparently trying to advance on Israel. So we look to be involved 245 00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.759 in the fight a little bit. This news came out, This last bit 246 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.400 of news came out about the middle of the day today, at which point 247 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.799 the stock market tanked three hundred points. And I think those two things are 248 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.039 related. I don't often tie them together. But the market actually started out 249 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.960 going up this morning after a terrible week, and it just completely tanked. 250 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.319 I think that is related to the fear of a wider war about the breakout 251 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.960 that we may or may not be involved with now. As to the delay, 252 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:27.920 now, it could be exactly as you render it, which is pusillanimous 253 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.799 foreign policy from our State Department. By the way, you may have heard 254 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.319 these stories that a large number of State Department people are getting them some kind 255 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:40.279 of protest petition together and threatening to resign because of our support of Israel. 256 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:42.880 The bye exactly, don't let the door hit you on the way out. 257 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.839 So, and I've been completely expecting what you've been saying is if it's not 258 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.359 happening already, it will happen. We're going to have the usual game where 259 00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:59.359 we say Israel's response is disproportionate and so forth. On the other hand, 260 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.640 and here I'm just speculating, and I don't usually like to play armchair strategist, 261 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.279 but in this particular case, it's hard for me to believe that Hamas 262 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:14.160 and Iran didn't have a longer game strategy in mind. With the launch of 263 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:19.359 the attacks on October seven, and we know that the hes Bolo folks in 264 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:23.559 southern Lebanon in some ways a greater threat to Israel because they have something like 265 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.920 one hundred and fifty thousand rockets, we think, and they have a pipeline 266 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:32.000 to get personnel, I mean, large numbers of fighters into Lebanon if they 267 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:37.599 want to through Syria. And I've been wondering if this whole thing wasn't a 268 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:42.319 trap set to draw the Israelis in Big to Gaza, whereupon a second front 269 00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:47.599 opens up, and the smart thing, I think, would be again knowing 270 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:52.079 nothing of what's being deliberated and what calculations are being made by Israel, who's 271 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.559 perfectly capable of defending themselves. I think maybe they're hesitating not because we're telling 272 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:02.000 them to and the Europeans are telling them to, because they're ready or getting 273 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:06.079 ready to attack hesbel of first, which might be the smart thing to do. 274 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:12.039 There's lots of evidence of running weapons and materials into into the West, 275 00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:17.920 right through and over to Lebanon. Right This also ranges another aspect of the 276 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.119 Grand Spranity. It's not just the tactics of the two fronts and when they're 277 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:26.400 sequenced, but also what Iran wants to do here. Even if Hamas and 278 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.559 Hesbel of lose is they want to pierce the image. Why the hell in 279 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.240 the Arab world that Israel is invulnerable. You know, Israel has clobbered the 280 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:38.000 Arabs and conventional war twice in our lifetime, at least right in sixty seven 281 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.680 and seventy three, and they had them on the rope several other times when 282 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.039 we stopped them from going further, like Lebanon in eighty two and so forth. 283 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.720 So I think the game here is both political, try and actually weaken 284 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:52.880 the status of Israel in the eyes of the world, and by the way, 285 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.319 it'll shake the Israelis too. If this is a prolonged war and you 286 00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:02.720 know Tel Aviv gets it goes through something like London went through in the Blitz 287 00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:06.160 in nineteen forty. I mean, this is these are all live possibilities. 288 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:10.680 If the United States is drawn into direct fighting, which I think is possible 289 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:15.279 against Hesbula, that'll be another the political point there. See, Israel can't 290 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:17.480 do it on their own anymore. They have to have the help from the 291 00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:22.319 Great Satan. Remember we're the Great Satan to all these Islamists. So I 292 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.599 don't know, I like it less about that outcome than I do the one 293 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:29.640 I mentioned, Steve, which is that we just abandon ourselves. Yeah, 294 00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:33.359 no, I expect them. We expect them to engage in a ceasefire when 295 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.119 Hamas doesn't. Basically yeah right, yeah, I mean, we have several 296 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.759 comments here for people saying, you know, these Ralies are getting their ducks 297 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:42.799 in a row. I think that's possible. You know, we're deploying serious 298 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:48.240 assets, it seems, in the Eastern Mediterranean, and you know, so 299 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.880 we'll see about all that. In previous wars, these Israelis used to say 300 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.359 we don't want any American troops, we don't need any American troops. Well, 301 00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.799 if they do this time, or if we impose ourselves because by the 302 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.319 way, composing ourselves regardless of what they're asking for, Steve, I hope 303 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:03.960 you know that. I mean, no, no, well, that's what 304 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.200 I was about to say when I started to say, by the way, 305 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.400 is we at various points might get in the way of the Israelis And oh 306 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.200 god, yes we're getting I mean Lloyd Austin of all the moron idiots to 307 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:19.400 be even in charge of a bubblegum machine, and the fact that he's over 308 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:26.359 there telling the Israeli defense for what they should be doing is that's scary, 309 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.119 that's nightmare stuff, you know, And yes, we are telling them what 310 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:34.279 to do now, I think to some extent net and Yahoo and you know, 311 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:40.279 he's got a coalition government right now that all the opposition has come together 312 00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:42.559 behind him and his cabinet and so forth. But I don't know how long 313 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:48.279 that lasts because for obvious reasons. Well, yeah, first of all, 314 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:49.799 I mean it should be said that some of the people who have been in 315 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:55.839 opposition to Netanyah who are actually just as hard line as he is, and 316 00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.480 maybe even harder line in some ways, I think. But I think the 317 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:02.720 long term here is and it's early yet, but I think at the end 318 00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:04.480 of all this, and then Andy, who's probably finished unfortunately, because I 319 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.680 do like him quite a bit, but he's going to be blamed for not 320 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:15.319 having intelligence, for failing to see this coming, and you know, I 321 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.680 think that's unfortunately. He's going to be the fall guy for this when it's 322 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.799 over. So yeah, and when in fact Michael asks the question and the 323 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.799 question and answers. The fall guy for this, if there is one on 324 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:33.000 the international stage, should probably be Jake Sullivan. You know, there's a 325 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.599 guy with a pedigree a mile long, a Rhodes scholar, on and on 326 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.200 and on, but he has an Obama. Okay, forgive me for this. 327 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.960 He's an Obama butt boy. I don't know how else to say it. 328 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:51.759 Sorry forgive me. The Family Show and all of that and everything despicable 329 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:56.240 about Obama has been projected onto him, and he's carrying that out in the 330 00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:03.839 Biden administration. Something by the way, Obama did back during his back during 331 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:11.880 his administration, he promoted Jake Sullivan to be Biden's national security advisor. Right, 332 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.319 he took him out of Hillary and blah blah blah blah blah. So 333 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:21.000 people question, you know, where's all this Obama influence inside the Biden administration 334 00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.799 come from. I don't know about domestic policy. I have my suspicions, 335 00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:30.599 but there is no doubt in my mind that Obama is completely running things on 336 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.799 the national security foreign affairs side to Jake Sullivan. That's my belief. There 337 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.319 you go. You can. You can come back and hold me to account 338 00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:45.599 on that, like I try to hold Steve for his predictions. Sorry, 339 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.880 term of art, Yes, Jim Russ is right that that term is a 340 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:55.319 term of art, and my heart is breaking. Steve there. I don't 341 00:25:55.319 --> 00:26:00.599 know how many of you follow Amal girl, but she actually she and she 342 00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:06.319 and she and Joe Max and Joe her husband, had planned a big trip 343 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:11.880 and they both first first Joe and then then then Susan both got really ill. 344 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:17.319 They subject they succumbed to a virus, but they both think it's because 345 00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:21.279 of their massive depression about what's happening in Israel. And sometimes, by the 346 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:26.680 way, it's a little bit low on the screen, I promise it was 347 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:32.359 given to me by the Israeli Defense Minister. It is an American uh and 348 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.680 it was really like an underneath it. I can't remember what and it's too 349 00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:41.200 small for me to read. It's what it means in Hebrew. Is the 350 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:48.480 the Israeli American Defense Cooperation PACKED or something like that the name for it. 351 00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.279 So I've been wearing this just so you know, every single day. The 352 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:57.279 more that comes out of what happened in Hamas, the more it makes me 353 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:06.480 realize that we are not dealing with the same almost with the same species here 354 00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:10.880 these people. And I was asking somebody I know who's an intelligence expert, 355 00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:15.759 about the claims that they drugged up these hamos terrists. And it turns out 356 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:22.039 that actually, if you've heard that, they're given this kind of a methamphetamine 357 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.599 sort of substance, and then on top of that, they're given valume and 358 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:33.000 it all is administered actually by a physician so they can get the balance just 359 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:37.400 right. And so this gives them this kind of anger, this sort of 360 00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:45.319 subhuman rage, but on the surface they appear to be fairly normal and calm 361 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.799 because of the value that's counteracting it. I mean, it's just crazy, 362 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:55.480 but we know that that's what happened with the nine to eleven attackers. There 363 00:27:55.519 --> 00:28:00.279 were doctors actually administering this this drug cocktail to make them just you know, 364 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:03.920 sub human savage. I can't say animals. Well, you know who else 365 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:08.680 did that? Animals? The Nazi army in World War two. People, 366 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.799 if you ever watch any CIA Flix, they say the CIA did too. 367 00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:17.519 But well, I mean, well, I think that's a little different experiment 368 00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:19.640 after the war with LSD and all the rest of that, and right, 369 00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:26.039 but no, the Nazi army used widespread, made widespread use of methamphetamines. 370 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.480 You know, that was more just a stimulant to keep our troops up for 371 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.240 seventy two hours without sleep and food and so forth. Yeah, that's not 372 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.039 what's being alleged here those Yeah, I know, it's more of course, 373 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:42.359 everything's much more sophisticated. Now. We had a question on your when you 374 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:45.720 initially announced the podcast from both the US. Is that how you say his 375 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:51.599 name? Bo Atheistha, that's the consolation the philosophy guy, which you would 376 00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:53.599 know who were a pretentious intellectual like me if I were, But I'm not, 377 00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.640 and if I if I had read it, I wouldn't know how to 378 00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:02.559 pronounce it anyway, because I don't out with enough pretentious intellectuals to get the 379 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:08.640 pronunciation right. So I just read anyway. Back to Boethius's question, let 380 00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:11.559 me actually read it to you guys, not most of you probably saw it, 381 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:17.119 but please discuss how the contract theory of government is a mental fiction, 382 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.799 and how political life resulting from man's nature as a political animal, is a 383 00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:26.640 much more solid foundation for human flourishing. Sorry, but repeating the albeit true 384 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.440 mantra that we're all created equal because we're made in the image of God just 385 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:36.359 doesn't cut it anymore in this secular age. I disagree. If Boethius is 386 00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:40.920 listening however, is that that is a very insightful comment on a number of 387 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.960 levels. The first. In the first place, of course, the social 388 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.599 contract is a mental fiction, or it's a construct, however you want to 389 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:53.559 do it. There is never a time in history and any given society anywhere 390 00:29:53.599 --> 00:30:00.000 where all the people got together and unanimously chose to join this social contract. 391 00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.440 So that's right, of course, But the basis for the social contract is 392 00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:10.680 it, as Aristotle would say, that we must be in a society because 393 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:15.079 man is a social animal, excuse me, a political animal, and that 394 00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:19.480 his final t lose is actually only to be found his final happiness is only 395 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:23.079 to be found in a political community, well ordered political community. That's the 396 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.799 kind of the ancient way of looking at it, or the modern way of 397 00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:32.400 looking at social contract theory, which is that because we're all equal, we're 398 00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:37.759 on our own natural rulers, and as our own natural rulers, we have 399 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.000 every right to our wife, liberty, and property, pursuit of happiness. 400 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.480 But because those rights are insecure, we form a social contract, and then 401 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:51.000 we set up a government over us to enforce that contract so that our rights 402 00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:56.799 are protected. You guys all know that the question is can you even maintain 403 00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:04.680 that fiction in the face of Hamas sub sub human savages who act that way. 404 00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:11.240 And I think that we're so often focused on the the you know, 405 00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:17.039 the good social contract side, and the Lockeyan idea that the law of natures 406 00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:19.799 written on the heart of man, where it's just passion, sometimes gets in 407 00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:26.359 the way of our reason. We emphasize that, but of course there's there's 408 00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:30.039 an entire another part to that social contract, and that is you only have 409 00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:34.880 a social contract with other human beings who recognize themselves as human beings and the 410 00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:41.400 equality of their fellow human beings. And Lincoln, to a little bit extent, 411 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.079 our teacher Harry Jeffison, you know, you can't have a social contract 412 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:52.359 with barbarians. And there's no way I'd even honor Hamas with the grandiose title 413 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.200 of being a barbarian. I mean, there are subhuman savages, and there's 414 00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:04.759 no possibility, of course, of having a social contract of negotiating on equal 415 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:13.319 terms with everything that Hamas and their their proxies or whoever their proxies for the 416 00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:20.759 Iranians, there's you can't you can't make deals with these people. And Trump, 417 00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:24.160 for all of his his faults, and all of his lack of understanding 418 00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:28.920 don't to hold anybody. He got that, you know, he got that. 419 00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:31.400 And so sorry, Steve, I went on too long, But well, 420 00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:37.200 well I was going to say, it's the big subject, went a 421 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.319 long time about it. I'll put it this way. The postulates of the 422 00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:44.839 social contract and equality you can actually find them in embryonic form in the classics, 423 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:49.720 in Aristotle and Plato and Cicero. Now, but they also were very 424 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:55.079 keen on the distinction between civilization and barbarism. And that was not simply just 425 00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:58.799 the you know, the enemy country, but it was people who don't have 426 00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:01.640 any civilization in them. The modern version of this we call international law, 427 00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:07.359 and the premise of international law is really an extension of the I'm restating what 428 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:10.039 you said, Lucretia, but hopefully short in a different way. The premise 429 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:15.039 of international law is an extension of social contract theory to all the nations of 430 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:19.680 the world, who also understand at least the lowest common denominator of that, 431 00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.079 which is the reciprocal and neutual respect for the rights of individuals and nations. 432 00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:28.039 Well, but the problem is is that we now have that sort of international 433 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:34.960 law body all includes within it and even elevates, you know, groups of 434 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:39.240 nations that don't understand that. We have a great question. Let's get more 435 00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:45.519 specific with Michael. How can intersectional Pussives also be pro Hamas who are radical 436 00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:51.000 Islamis? I have my own theory. Should I let Steve go first or 437 00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:53.519 now you go ahead? I think we're probably on the same wave in Yeah, 438 00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:59.200 it's easier than you might think. The hypocrisy of it, you know, 439 00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:01.839 in your face, just makes you not even want to look into it 440 00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:07.920 because it's so so awful. But it goes like this, back to what 441 00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:13.239 Steve was saying that that speaker Johnson said. You know, if if you 442 00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:23.800 believe that the traditions the institutions of Western civilization have in fact brought about the 443 00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:31.840 greatest level of prosperity but also happiness, happiness to the greatest number of people 444 00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:37.280 across the globe of any other kind of broad civilization in history, you have 445 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:42.480 to recognize what does that and it's Western civilization, you know, again, 446 00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:49.599 the rule of law, the belief in truth, the family, the high 447 00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:53.039 low things, all of those things. That is what the left wants to 448 00:34:53.119 --> 00:35:00.599 destroy because those things are also limits what we get from the entire whatever else 449 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:06.960 is different from between Aristotle and Lucke or our founding fathers. What they all 450 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:14.280 understood is that human beings are imperfect, that they do have a perfection understood 451 00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:16.960 as achieving a level of happiness, but that was never going to be godlike 452 00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:21.800 perfection. Human beings were never going to be God, and they could never 453 00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:30.360 cast out either their own nature or the influence of nature writ large on the 454 00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:34.440 lives of human beings and on societies. What the progressive project is is to 455 00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:39.159 destroy that, Okay, to destroy that for not freedom in the way we 456 00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:45.920 understand it, but freedom from any kind of restraints on behavior, et cetera, 457 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:52.800 etc. What do pro hamas and pro LGBTQ, transferry, etcetera, 458 00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:58.400 etcetera. People have in common. They hate us. They hate people who'd 459 00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:01.199 like to say there's a right and wrong and guess what, you're probably not 460 00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:06.480 the right side of things. Yeah, here's where this willack to provide a 461 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.199 transition into our third major subject, after which, by the way, that 462 00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:13.840 will take up Michael Lee's question. He said in a few days ago, 463 00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:19.719 something David Horowitz has been saying forever is now more crystal clear than ever, 464 00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:22.400 which is the issue is not the issue. The central issue is revolution. 465 00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:27.960 And so if you have again I'm restating what you're staying in a different vocabulary. 466 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:34.320 If your central goal is revolution against the existing order, then it makes 467 00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.400 perfect sense for your LGBTQ people to be on the same side of somemas because 468 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:43.559 they both represent rejections and challenges to the civilized order. And what you want 469 00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.679 above all was revolution, right, And that sounds sort of, you know, 470 00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:50.679 odly sweeping and simplistic, but I think the closer you look, the 471 00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.519 more true that becomes. Boy, I've certainly observed in the signs I saw 472 00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:58.519 out on sprou plaset Berkeley on Wednesday this week, where you saw the same 473 00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:00.639 mentality, which is, see every issue that comes along is you know, 474 00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:05.559 worldwide revolutions right around the corner. It sounds archaic twist now, but they 475 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.960 really believe it. And that brings us to our third main topic to bring 476 00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:15.000 up today, which is the campus scene is even worse than we thought. 477 00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:19.199 I can't believe it's taking me more than two weeks so this to come back 478 00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:22.280 to mind. But does anybody remember the name Ward Churchill from the year two 479 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:27.760 after nine to eleven do you remember him, Lucretia, No, I remember 480 00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:29.599 Louly, Yeah, right, I mean I hadn't thought of the got the 481 00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:31.880 guy in forever, But he was the guy at the University of Colorado who 482 00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:37.920 said we had it coming on September eleventh. You know, all those people 483 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:42.039 who worked in the towers were killed. They were little Iichmans of the capitalist 484 00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:45.719 order. Well, that kind of rhetoric is not much different from what the 485 00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:49.840 Propa Moas people are saying now in large, I'm trying to get rid of 486 00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.960 Churchill though. For that Well, that's what I'm kind of Bear with me 487 00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:54.639 for a minute. That's what I'm coming to, which is they did fire 488 00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:58.920 him from the University of Colorado, but they didn't do it for being a 489 00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.639 left wing loon. They went through his record and found out that it was 490 00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:05.920 not only a mediocre, but that a lot of his work was plagiarized. 491 00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:08.639 And yet he was chairman of the Ethnic Studies department, having, by the 492 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:13.199 way, never been hired through a conventional hiring process. By the way, 493 00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:15.760 the year I spent there, which is ten years ago now, I asked 494 00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:19.360 around a lot, and I found that even left leaning faculty really didn't like 495 00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.039 the guy very much. But they put up with him. They put up 496 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:25.519 with people like this universities everywhere. And again, my old pal David Horowitz 497 00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:30.960 said, the universities are full of hundreds of people like Ward Churchill. What 498 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.880 makes you think he's the only one. He only became notorious because his particular 499 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:39.280 comments got national attention and embarrassed the university. Well, what I'm not seeing 500 00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:44.639 right now is any serious embarrassment by any universities of all the pro Hamas faculty 501 00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:47.920 coming out, all the students saying the crazy things they're doing, students who 502 00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:51.920 I mean, the most shocking story of the week were the Jewish students who 503 00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:54.719 had to barricade themselves in the library at the Cooper Union in New York City 504 00:38:54.760 --> 00:39:00.280 on Wednesday, I think it was. And you had people banging on the 505 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:04.360 door to try and get at the Jews inside the room. Uh, there's 506 00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.400 a professor Columbia, I forget his name, who is about the word that 507 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.880 Jews are not safe on American college campuses right now? Full stop? This 508 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:16.639 is these are institutions or as a statement of fact, statement of fact. 509 00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:20.559 No, he's a statement of fact. And and and I'm trying to remember 510 00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:22.960 who else said this. Uh, somebody I forget who has said, you 511 00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:27.760 know, when you're when your students come home for Thanksgiving, don't send them 512 00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.760 back to college. I think that's very unlikely that many people do that. 513 00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:34.840 But that's the kind of uh, the kind of atmosphere that we're in. 514 00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:39.400 So the question in my mind is, you know, are are any are 515 00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:45.679 any universities? I mean I've been posting all week more job announcements that specifically 516 00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:50.880 say they want professors in English, in you know, sciences and German literature. 517 00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:52.960 At one college maybe that was Duke, and they want them to be 518 00:39:52.960 --> 00:40:00.039 people who teaching about colonialism and decolonization and all the critical race stuff. I 519 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:02.679 know, as you know, a provost can put a stop to those ads, 520 00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:07.360 and they never do. And so the thing to watch for is is 521 00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:09.440 are any university is going to have second thoughts about this? I do have 522 00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:15.639 one specific idea a proposal, which is you and if you get a Republican 523 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:20.719 president or even if you know Congress can get its act together. We know 524 00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:23.480 that the lead American institutions have taken I think the number is something like four 525 00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:27.599 billion dollars in money from Arab countries. A lot of that from Cutter, 526 00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:31.800 where the Hamas leadership lives. I think that Congress should enact a law, 527 00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:37.760 or the Department of Education under a decent president should enact a regulation saying no 528 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:43.639 university that gets federal funds may accept any money at all from Cutter and en 529 00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:45.800 lists several other countries, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia. I don't care, but 530 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:52.199 just cut off the influence that they use. Let these let Harvard and Tops 531 00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.840 and all these places whine and complain and moan, but that at a minimum. 532 00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:59.320 Yeah, Wayne Johnson says, China, that actually has been happening. 533 00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:02.239 That's happening. That's why I'm kind of looking at you with this what right 534 00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:08.199 on my face, because that would assume that there's anybody in our government that 535 00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:13.599 actually cares about that influence. They obviously don't. Steve Well, this is 536 00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:19.000 why someone needs to repose the idea was at least right. I mean, 537 00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:23.639 people are proposing the ideas. Why do we Why are we allowing Palestinian students 538 00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:29.519 who are out there protesting to stay in the United States revoke their damn visas 539 00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:32.159 and send them home? Oh yeah, no, that's I mean that how 540 00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:37.960 likely is that to happen? Well? In mind under say President DeSantis, 541 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:42.440 who you know, is shutting down all these Students for Justice and Palatine Palestine 542 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:46.360 chapters at Florida's public universities, which is, uh, you know, upset 543 00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:51.000 everybody, but you know, good god, it's a good start. So 544 00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:55.360 yeah, I don't know, Steve always have these ideas that never go anywhere. 545 00:41:57.199 --> 00:41:59.880 Well, look, I know somebody made a fuss about the Confucius and 546 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:01.559 the two. It's being funded by China around the country and a lot of 547 00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:06.639 them have been shut down because did that did get traction? So yeah, 548 00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:10.239 but you know, quite frankly, the government, some at least some elements 549 00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:16.599 of our government, have been worried about Chinese influence on universities, et cetera 550 00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:22.039 for years. And I will tell you that they employ a number of people 551 00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:25.719 who might look say like me, to be on the lookout for evidence of 552 00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:31.199 Chinese spies and Chinese you know. The big problem, of course, there 553 00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:37.000 are the Chinese nationals who are here and they're in the pay of the Chinese 554 00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:40.400 government. And what we're seeing is, you know, of course the Chronicle 555 00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:45.920 of Higher Education is clutching their pearls. Is it so upsetting the way they're 556 00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:52.719 discriminating against Chinese national professors on campus and researchers on campus. But of course, 557 00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:53.719 you know, it's the smartest thing they've done in a while, because 558 00:42:53.719 --> 00:43:00.960 they know that, you know, my university does some really serious shall we 559 00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:04.599 say research in the in the defense field. I'll leave it open like that. 560 00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:09.679 Yeah, you know that. And professors are stupid. They don't understand 561 00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:15.119 the first thing about op SEC anyway, So the least you can do is 562 00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:21.159 sort of get Chinese nationals and Katari nationals and so on out of our research 563 00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:24.639 institutions and put them back in the god awful places they came from. Well, 564 00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:27.679 I mean a lot of that. I think there's this difference. The 565 00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:31.239 Chinese money is more meant to do what you just suggested, which is eavesdropping 566 00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:37.760 and espionage. The era of money is to influence ideology, which a is 567 00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.320 the Chinese money also. But yes, they're not as blatant about it and 568 00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:45.360 direct about it. I don't think you're wrong. But anyway, well, 569 00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:49.559 okay, I mean my observation. Well, let's put this way. I've 570 00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:52.239 been at a couple of institutions that had a lot of Chinese students. By 571 00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:54.440 the way, the numbers are way down. Part of that was COVID. 572 00:43:55.719 --> 00:43:59.519 I think a lot of it was COVID, but you know a place like 573 00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:02.880 US. I know, for example, in LA it's something like twenty percent 574 00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:07.360 of their undergraduate student body was Chinese five or six years ago. And that 575 00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:09.599 was a revenue model, because what the Chinese do? They pay full tuition 576 00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:15.239 when almost nobody else does anymore. A lot he is back with a great 577 00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:22.960 comment. Diane Finzin could not be reached. How do you know she may 578 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:27.199 be a waxwork somewhere with you know, weekend at Murdies or something. Right, 579 00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:30.320 and check Eric Solwell's off as somebody also said, which I think is 580 00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:35.239 right, but well to be continued. But the point is is we made 581 00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:39.280 the point. We can make it fifteen more ways. Is that at least 582 00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:43.159 the University of Colorado had the decency to say, we have to get rid 583 00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:45.719 of this professor, even if we have to do it indirectly, because we're 584 00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:51.679 cowards about actually firing loun directly. But now I see no evidence that any 585 00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:55.760 university is taking any steps at all to have second thoughts about the lunatics in 586 00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:59.760 their midst. That's well, I will tell you that why same things are 587 00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:02.000 worse. Things are worse than every I'm trying to agree with you, Lucre, 588 00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:09.000 but I will say this. My president issued all things considered on a 589 00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:13.880 scale of one to ten, a statement that I'd give a seven and a 590 00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:19.440 half or an eight two. I really was quite good, very little equivocating 591 00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:25.880 about even Palestinians, innocent Palestinians, et cetera. So much so that I 592 00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:29.840 know that the Solid people sent him a note, you know, way to 593 00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:35.119 go, Bobby, blah blah blah. Anyway, So upsetting was that that 594 00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:38.480 the huge We're supposed to have this big meeting, and the person charge of 595 00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:43.519 incident response couldn't come because he needed to be on campus because there was going 596 00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:46.639 to be this huge protest. Except the protest was canceled because they were also 597 00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:54.159 triggered by the President's statement that they they couldn't come out in protest. I 598 00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:58.960 swear to God, I am not making this up. This is not a 599 00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:04.320 Babylonbee, this is not Joe Heller satire. It's a true story. Yeah 600 00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:08.840 right, all right, So okay, next next German universities. I don't 601 00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:14.000 know what about Germany and universities and colonizers. What did you want to say 602 00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:19.000 about that, Steve, Wait, did I know, Wait, which question 603 00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:21.840 are we talking about here? You said, so we seem to be following 604 00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:24.960 the path of German universities in the nineteen thirties. Oh well, just what 605 00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:30.039 I meant was that German universities were a hotbed of support for Nazism and the 606 00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:36.159 Nazi Party. Right and give an intellectual cover by people like especially Heidiger. 607 00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:42.480 Right, that gives the intellectual cover to Hamas, all these people who say 608 00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:45.800 that, you know, Israel is a settler colonist. I mean, but 609 00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:50.760 at the level of a Heidiger. Oh well, you know I haven't. 610 00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:52.800 Well, first of all, nobody, but there are people who purport to 611 00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:57.360 try to do it, like you know, Edward Sayid's famous book on Orientalism, 612 00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:00.360 which I've never read. By you know, it sounds like that really 613 00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:02.280 does sound like a book that's not worth wasting your time on. Friends, 614 00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:07.239 Finans Wretched of the Earth. That's the bible for these people. And I 615 00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:09.519 don't even think that book had anything to talk about the Middle East or Israel 616 00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:14.480 re Jews in particular, but the ideology of it was easily transferable. So 617 00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:17.800 and you know, I remember, I think that book dates from the sixties 618 00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:22.400 The Wretched of the Earth, and I never read it, but I know 619 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:23.960 it was on a ton of reading lists in the seventies when I was in 620 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:29.800 college, often in education departments. The other book that was big was Paulo 621 00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:35.079 Freire was some radical left loon, the Pedagogy of the Oppressed. And that's 622 00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:39.880 when we should have been paying attention to when education schools and education programs at 623 00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:45.239 universities were moving hard left, really fast. They still read those books, 624 00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:47.159 I think, and so look, they're not at the level of Heidegger, 625 00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:52.559 who you know, that's another story for another day. But there are these 626 00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:58.119 intellectual gurus who are treated with great authority on college campuses. And I'm sure 627 00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:04.599 AOC's read all of those probably if she knows how to. I didn't know 628 00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:07.079 if she could read. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, that's what 629 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:12.960 he says here. Yeah, I thought you want to take up well the 630 00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:16.880 questions, I know you did want to talk a little about colonizing universities. 631 00:48:17.800 --> 00:48:21.199 Well just that, you know, that's the big thing is dec you know, 632 00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:23.719 you even hear this in physics and chemistry. We have to decolonize the 633 00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:28.559 syllabus. And what that means is just halfy were white male authors, you 634 00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:31.559 know, don't read the classic authors, right, I'd like to d the 635 00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:36.199 syllabus. I just want you guys to know. I know I've said this 636 00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:39.559 before, but it bears repeating in this context that you can ask Steve, 637 00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:46.280 especially in graduate school, we would I'll bet three out of all the classes 638 00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:51.320 I took even how to syllabus in graduate school, you know, you just 639 00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:55.800 kind of knew what you were expected to do. They probably didn't put you 640 00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:00.239 know, book orders back before electronic books and so on in Amazon. They 641 00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:05.400 probably didn't even bother to put book orders in the bookstore. But you could 642 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:07.480 find all of the great classics. And you know, if you dig a 643 00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:12.159 glass on nietzs and each was there. Aristota, Aristata was there. But 644 00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.519 they'd walk in and they say, okay, you got these papers due, 645 00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:19.000 and that was it. And then then you just came to class and you 646 00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:22.000 just talked about stuff, and you learned more than you could ever possibly have 647 00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:28.079 imagined. My last syllabus I had to redo because there was a new university 648 00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:38.800 mandated syllabus template without content is fourteen pages long, right, so it has 649 00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:46.079 to include an entire page of resources for students who are struggling mentally, economically, 650 00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:51.440 academically. I don't know what else is left. Sexually, I don't 651 00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:53.039 know. I don't. Yeah, you know, that's well, there's that 652 00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:57.599 the boilerplate, you know, have to include. But even yeah, right, 653 00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:00.559 I remember that, even from someone like let Levy. The syllabus was 654 00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:07.000 two pages long, and I have so that I'm sure you've had this experience. 655 00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:10.760 I for quite a while did the long syllabus week by week. Here's 656 00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:15.039 the reading for each class, here's when the assignments are due, et cetera, 657 00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:17.039 et cetera. And then I always have students send me emails or in 658 00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:22.519 class razers, what are we doing when I say it's in the syllabus? 659 00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:25.719 You know it's online. You can not hard to find. And oh, 660 00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:30.320 so I'm actually decided for this next semester, when I'm visiting at Pepperdine again, 661 00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:34.559 I'm going to go back to the two page syllabus. So, hey, 662 00:50:34.639 --> 00:50:37.440 we should take up Michael Lee's. He has a series of questions, 663 00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:38.880 but I think maybe you want to go from the bottom up, right, 664 00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:44.360 you have a handy If not, I do, Yeah, go ahead, 665 00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:49.679 well, he let's go from the bottom up. Actually, Michael Lee sent 666 00:50:49.760 --> 00:50:51.960 in this question a couple of days ago, when we first announced we were 667 00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:55.159 going to have a live episode. How close is America to the catastrophes of 668 00:50:55.199 --> 00:50:59.760 the Civil War, the Great Depression? In World War Two? We were 669 00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:02.639 at the precipice at the end of the Carter era when Reagan began his presidency. 670 00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:07.360 How do Lucretian I come compare and contrast Trump to Reagan? Or you 671 00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.679 know, I can actually use the Santas or or anybody who might replace the 672 00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:15.280 current thunderhead we've got who's worse than Carter? Do you want to go first? 673 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:21.840 Me? You go first? Well, all right, you know we've 674 00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:25.079 talked about this before, and I'm not sure have anything new to say, 675 00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:28.840 although if you missed it before, what I said is I think that there 676 00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:32.440 are all kinds of conditions for spontaneous violence that would make whatever you think of 677 00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:36.400 January sixth, And we don't need to decide that question to argue it out, 678 00:51:36.400 --> 00:51:38.519 but it would make that seem like a picnic because if you have some 679 00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:44.039 states try to invalidate Trump's presence on the ballot, I mean, you have 680 00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:47.719 serious adults talking about this, or refuse to count his votes, or refuse 681 00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:52.400 to certify his election, or the deep State moves to arrest him and prevent 682 00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:57.320 him from becoming president after he wins an election. That's when you have a 683 00:51:57.320 --> 00:52:01.079 lot of Americans rise up armed this time, unlike January six and starts surrounding 684 00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:05.800 federal buildings in states in the Midwest or wherever this is going on, and 685 00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:08.480 that starts to look like a civil war. And I would add to that 686 00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:15.000 that, of course, everything we've seen happening for the last two and a 687 00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:21.079 half years through our Justice Department, the Biden Justice Department, even Georgia and 688 00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:23.639 New York and so on, the whole point of all of that, the 689 00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:30.880 January sixth prosecutions, persecutions, the point of all of that is to make 690 00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:35.599 sure that they know they've got a cheat. And every day it becomes more 691 00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:38.360 and more apparent that the left has to cheat if they want, if they 692 00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:42.639 want Biden to win again, because you know, he just keeps going further 693 00:52:42.719 --> 00:52:46.360 down in the polls, not just on Republicans in Independence, but I heard 694 00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:52.360 he lost eleven points among Democrats in the last week or so on the polls. 695 00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:54.480 So it's you know, it's one of those things we've always said, 696 00:52:54.519 --> 00:53:00.199 Republicans Trump supporters whatever you want to however you want to say, it will 697 00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:05.880 need to have a slam dunk victory in order to go beyond all the election 698 00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:09.400 fraud. However, it looks like, I mean, we're way out still, 699 00:53:09.440 --> 00:53:14.119 I get it, but it looks like we're With every passing day we 700 00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:19.679 get closer and closer to a huge slam dunk victory, in which case it 701 00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:23.480 will be even more obvious when Democrats do all of the things we know they're 702 00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:30.920 going to try to do to win by hooker by crook the twenty twenty four 703 00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:35.079 election, and if all of that happens, that's all. I'm not disagreeing 704 00:53:35.079 --> 00:53:37.119 with you at all, Steve. I'm just saying it's become even more the 705 00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:46.679 case that people see that the prosecution and persecution of Trump is intended to intimidate 706 00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:52.800 not Trump, he's not intimidated by it, but everybody around him. And 707 00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:55.800 next time, whatever you do, don't you dare support Trump when he tries 708 00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:59.559 to say that the election was stolen from him, because this is what will 709 00:53:59.599 --> 00:54:02.280 happen to you. This is what will happen to you. Same with January 710 00:54:02.280 --> 00:54:07.280 sixth, protesters on and on down the line. Don't you dare go protest 711 00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:15.239 against pornography homosexual pornography in your school library, because we'll send We'll send the 712 00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:20.039 FBI after you will put you on a domestic terror list. Don't you dare 713 00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:25.039 go to a traditional Catholic church where veil and listen to Mass in Latin because 714 00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:30.760 that proves you are, in fact a radical traditional Catholic. Yeah, a 715 00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:32.119 bit of an other by the way, I mean what you said that. 716 00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:37.480 You know, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the Department of Homeland 717 00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:44.559 Security suddenly ratchet up the no fly lists after the election, right to keep 718 00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:47.639 people from coming to Washington from far away right. That would stop an under 719 00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:52.519 January sixth, So I think all kinds of crazy things could happen. They 720 00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:58.199 could just they could just tell the airlines that there's a terrorist threat and they 721 00:54:58.199 --> 00:55:00.920 wouldn't fly in. That's all. Who knows, right exactly who knows? 722 00:55:01.599 --> 00:55:05.840 I have to say. In the comment threat today, Pizza Bob is on 723 00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:13.400 his game. He says x slax would colonies at university. That's true, 724 00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:17.320 But the more serious point Pizza Bob makes is the doubts about whether Joe Biden 725 00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:21.960 is going to be the candidate. So yeah, we've been saying this for 726 00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:25.599 months now. I did catch a quote in I think Politico from Tim Alberta 727 00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:30.320 in the last day or two quoting James Carville. You know that guy knows 728 00:55:30.360 --> 00:55:32.280 a thing or two about politics. You may think he's a barking loom from 729 00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:37.320 the Clinton days and being married to Mary Madeline his punishment enough, I think, 730 00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:40.360 But he said he'd be worse married to her than her married to him. 731 00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:45.440 Well, okay, the one is his comment was, I goes something 732 00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:49.559 like this, He said, you realize that Biden is sinking every day and 733 00:55:49.559 --> 00:55:52.440 can't possibly win re election. And he says when I tell the the Democrats, 734 00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:55.480 they look at me and they don't argue. They say, you're not 735 00:55:55.599 --> 00:56:00.400 allowed to say that, which I think is both literally true but also, 736 00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:06.559 you know, expression of the conformers and the Democratic Party, but also an 737 00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:13.159 expression of their underlying panic about things. Right. Yes, absolutely heard it 738 00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:16.679 back and forth today that the real problem is is that even Democrats have lost 739 00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:21.440 complete faith in Joe Biden, but they have no faith in kam Law, 740 00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:24.719 and so they have to return their faith to Joe Biden. Right. Oh, 741 00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:28.840 by the way, so this week lucretia. I'm going to borrow your 742 00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:34.119 tenfoil hat. I saw this news squib that sometime, maybe it's now today 743 00:56:34.239 --> 00:56:38.079 or the next few days, Biden is making a trip to Minnesota with destination 744 00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:44.000 and purpose undisclosed. Well, what's in Minnesota? The Mayo Clinic is what's 745 00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:46.360 in Minnesota. That's where you go. That's where Ronald Reagan went to have 746 00:56:46.519 --> 00:56:51.679 the diagnosis. As earliest diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease, right, there's some of 747 00:56:51.719 --> 00:56:58.360 the best diagnosing the really fine, difficult diseases at an early moment, and 748 00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:01.960 especially neurological ones. And so I'm thinking, hmm, so he making steak 749 00:57:02.039 --> 00:57:06.800 a secret trip to get checked out. They get checked out for what, 750 00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:13.119 well for Well, well, now you're being too literal, although i'd be 751 00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:16.840 actually what I'm really I think you there's no point in getting checked out there. 752 00:57:17.159 --> 00:57:22.239 They've obviously figured out what it is they need to do to get him 753 00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:28.480 to be almost lucid for at least short amount of time. I'm no expert 754 00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:31.519 on this, some kind of uh, you know, adrenaline, whatever it 755 00:57:31.599 --> 00:57:37.119 is they do, but it's what's obvious is it's working for a shorter and 756 00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:39.639 shorter and shorter. Sure, well, okay, that could be it, 757 00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:43.159 right, See, if we can't get better meds to prop him up. 758 00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:47.679 It could also be again this pure speculation. It could also be he comes 759 00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:52.159 back from this trip and he says, you know, I'm getting old. 760 00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:54.159 I went and decided to get the best medical experts, and you know, 761 00:57:54.159 --> 00:57:58.320 they tell me, although I could carry on from their couple of years, 762 00:57:58.360 --> 00:58:00.239 I can't make it through the next term. And so with great reluctance, 763 00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:04.440 I am going to step back. But by the way, we only have 764 00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:08.400 one more week until you pass a lot of the deadlines for entering for filing 765 00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:12.519 to the candidate in the primaries, So if he waits under ten or ten 766 00:58:12.599 --> 00:58:16.280 days or two weeks, it becomes difficult to have a traditional campaign. So 767 00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:20.320 that means he might still be able to control the nomination. I don't know, 768 00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:24.039 okay, so I have a left field. I forgot to tell you 769 00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:28.719 that I wanted and it'll be short, I promised. But in NPR this 770 00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:34.039 morning National Property, I was reminded of it from my Babylon b and NPR 771 00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:39.039 they actually believe it. In NPR has some sort of written something and so 772 00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:45.000 in something written by out of NPR dot com. This is the title with 773 00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:52.800 the last of nine base renamings. The Army helps cast aside the myth of 774 00:58:52.840 --> 00:58:59.800 the Confederacy. Guys all thought the Confederacy was real, but it's just a 775 00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:06.440 meth. It gets better, though. The Army renamed the last nine bases 776 00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:12.079 originally named for Confederate generals in entire category of memorials venerating the Confederacy disappeared. 777 00:59:12.760 --> 00:59:17.840 The bases had been named for men who fought against the very army that uses 778 00:59:19.000 --> 00:59:22.719 them and who fought for the right to own slaves. The new names could 779 00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:28.159 scarcely be more different. I'm almost done. At the first renaming in March, 780 00:59:29.159 --> 00:59:34.840 Native American dancers and musicians were part of the ceremony as Fort Pickett in 781 00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:40.679 Virginia became Fort Barfoot for World War Two Medal of Honor winner Van Barfoot. 782 00:59:42.119 --> 00:59:45.800 Barfoot was a Choctaw Indian, which made it the first Army post in the 783 00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:52.880 continental United States to bear the name of an American soldier. Okay, let's 784 00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:57.320 think this through for just a moment. We're going to get rid of all 785 00:59:57.360 --> 01:00:04.039 the Confederate names. Of base is because they fought against the very army where 786 01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:09.559 the soldiers serve. Does anybody remember what most of the base I live next 787 01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:21.000 to Fort Wachuka was. Its first thing was here to kill the Apache Indians. 788 01:00:21.239 --> 01:00:23.880 Okay, why kill the Apache Indians? So not just because we are 789 01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:30.440 colonizers and all those other things and genocidal maniacs, because they were killing us. 790 01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:32.360 Yeah, and when people want to kill us, we like to kill 791 01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:37.800 them back. And so we put an army base here. But we're gonna 792 01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:44.400 burn the statue of Robert E. Lee and turn it into I don't know 793 01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:46.880 what the hell, oh god, the whole story. Just want to throw 794 01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:54.760 up because our army fought against his him, I guess. But we're gonna 795 01:00:54.760 --> 01:01:00.559 rename it picket, charge Picket. We're gonna rename it after a chalk to 796 01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:05.000 Indian because we didn't fight Indians and they didn't fight us. Are these people 797 01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:13.480 just stupid? Yes? I means hard. I feel better whiskey talking. 798 01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:17.239 No, it's not. Because what reminded me of that is the Babylon Bee 799 01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:23.360 headline. I should see if I could actually show it. Am I allowed 800 01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:27.679 to share? You're allowed? Sorry? I can't get it bigger than this. 801 01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:35.679 Lee's statue gives one final thumbs up as it's melted down. Yeah, 802 01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:37.840 there's the picture from the terminator too, when you know Arnold gives the thumbs 803 01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:40.760 up as he's being melted down, you know, save the world. And 804 01:01:42.519 --> 01:01:45.440 I saw another of somebody said, why isn't Gallum jumping in after the statue 805 01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:50.039 to try and save it? You know, it's like for Mountcomb. Okay, 806 01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:52.159 okay, do we want it? We're almost out of time, but 807 01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:57.199 do more questions before? Well, Michael had another question, which is a 808 01:01:57.199 --> 01:01:59.639 big, sprawling one, and I just say a couple of brief things about 809 01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:02.400 it. How do we think successful leaders like Lincoln and Roosevelt were able to 810 01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:06.280 knit to get her to their parties? Doesn't require a crisis? Do we 811 01:02:06.320 --> 01:02:08.719 think that, you know, somebody like whether Michael Johnson or somebody else could 812 01:02:08.719 --> 01:02:13.039 do that today? I think the premise of the question is a little bit 813 01:02:14.159 --> 01:02:16.159 flawed in this respect. First of all, if he looked carefully at Franklin 814 01:02:16.239 --> 01:02:21.519 Roosevelt, his party was very fractious. Some of his biggest problems were from 815 01:02:21.559 --> 01:02:24.159 Southern Democrats in particular, and he tried to purge the party and it crashed 816 01:02:24.199 --> 01:02:29.840 and burned. And and then of course Lincoln, the Republican party was more 817 01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:31.880 unified, but that's because it was brand new and he emerged as the pre 818 01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:37.519 event leader before he became president. But noticed they both have to be presidents. 819 01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:44.519 It's lucretion. I were talking about this because this actually Michael Lee brought 820 01:02:44.559 --> 01:02:45.920 it up up, the fact we now have a Republican speaker, and we 821 01:02:46.079 --> 01:02:47.920 kind of like the look of the guy, right, I mean we were 822 01:02:47.960 --> 01:02:52.159 saying earlier. He says some great things. He's sort of handsome and presentable, 823 01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:57.599 and he scares the left and the media. But once, can anybody 824 01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:01.079 name a Speaker of the House who's ever been a prominent party leader from the 825 01:03:01.159 --> 01:03:07.320 last whatever? Really? I mean, Tip O'Neil was the highest ranking Democrat 826 01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:10.199 under Reagan, and for two years he was the leading opponent to Reagan until 827 01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:14.960 you've got a presidential field in eighty four. Uh. You know, Sam 828 01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:17.599 Rayburn was thought to have been, you know, an effective leader of the 829 01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:23.159 House, but that's because you had effective Democratic presidents or Republicans like Eisenhower he 830 01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:27.960 could get along with. But otherwise, can you name any Speaker of the 831 01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:31.840 House from the thirties, the forties, the twenties, anytime? Yeah, 832 01:03:31.960 --> 01:03:38.320 noble people, I told Steve his attempt at historical analogy from one hundred years 833 01:03:38.320 --> 01:03:43.119 ago has no relevance to what wasn't making an analogy. I mean, I 834 01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:45.960 was saying that you give me because if I hadn't heard of somebody before, 835 01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:50.519 that doesn't mean I couldn't hear for somebody. Now. Well, okay, 836 01:03:51.760 --> 01:03:58.280 that's my point. I don't probably see Johnson as a huge you know, 837 01:03:58.679 --> 01:04:04.159 uh, tribe of the lion and the as I go tribe with the lion, 838 01:04:04.280 --> 01:04:09.280 something of the eagle that Lincoln makes reference to. I don't necessarily see 839 01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:13.719 him that. But I do think that in this messed up situation we're in 840 01:04:13.800 --> 01:04:19.039 right now, that if he were able to soberly pass a budget that cuts 841 01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:24.960 spending, that gets rid of the kind of crap spending that Americans don't support 842 01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:30.239 but don't pay too much attention to, and if he were able to do 843 01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:34.800 those things and sort of build some support around that and all those weakned Rhino 844 01:04:34.920 --> 01:04:42.039 Republicans backed him on it, that he might be able to make a difference. 845 01:04:42.159 --> 01:04:45.519 Will he ever be a Lincoln Probably not unless he moves out of that 846 01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:48.119 position into something else, But you never well, remember, he's now number 847 01:04:48.159 --> 01:04:55.119 three in line for the presidency. Can somebody take out Kamala and I think 848 01:04:55.159 --> 01:04:58.360 the other part will take care of itself, that's right, Yeah, yeah, 849 01:04:58.440 --> 01:05:00.320 leave it alone. Maybe at Mayo. Maybe that's where they're going to 850 01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:03.920 go to do that whole Dave thing. They're going to take him into Mayo 851 01:05:04.280 --> 01:05:08.400 and you know, put him in that room down there and keep him alive 852 01:05:08.480 --> 01:05:12.599 and then find a body double, which people claim all the time is actually 853 01:05:13.400 --> 01:05:15.840 the you know, representing him out there on the you know, in front 854 01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:18.519 of the public. It's not really Biden. And they you know, they 855 01:05:18.519 --> 01:05:23.920 show all these differences and little tiny things like ear lobes and stuff could be 856 01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:29.159 you never know, right, Yeah, that's right. There were such great 857 01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:32.880 comments. Steve will never get back back to all of them. I've started 858 01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:38.840 to believe in the myth of intelligence. Holy crap. And and who was 859 01:05:38.880 --> 01:05:41.360 it? Wait a minute, I got to find it pointed out that yes, 860 01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:44.519 in fact, it occurred to me right when you said it, that 861 01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:47.480 the Chalk Down not only sided with the Confederacy in the Civil War, but 862 01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:54.199 they owned slaves, They owned black slaves. These people are just so dumb. 863 01:05:54.840 --> 01:05:58.760 Oh my god. Anyway, yeah, all right, anything else, 864 01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:03.639 Steve before I move on to some really fabulous We should probably wind it up 865 01:06:03.639 --> 01:06:06.119 now, so if you've got some be headlines you want to share with people, 866 01:06:06.119 --> 01:06:10.639 we'll close out for this week. I will mention that next week John 867 01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:14.320 You has gone again. I forget he's often I don't know, Asia somewhere. 868 01:06:14.360 --> 01:06:17.320 So next week will be Lucretian and I. Although we might do a 869 01:06:17.360 --> 01:06:20.599 guest or two next week, we're still thinking about that. And for those 870 01:06:20.639 --> 01:06:25.400 of you John you detractors out there, I do want you to understand that 871 01:06:25.480 --> 01:06:30.239 John makes it possible for me to appear even more radical, one of the 872 01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:32.880 reasons why I love him on this show. And he's actually pretty smart when 873 01:06:32.880 --> 01:06:36.000 it comes to a lot of things, he's really dumb. I thought of 874 01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:40.800 him the other day. Wow, really about something? Sorry? Sorry, 875 01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:44.559 oh, I thought of him the other day talking to a colleague that I 876 01:06:44.639 --> 01:06:49.119 adore. I adore this woman. She is smart, she is capable, 877 01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:54.880 she's a great person. But I asked her, I said, what do 878 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:58.000 you know about what's going on in Gaza? She said, what do you 879 01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:00.440 mean Gaza? I said, you know what the hamas in these relations? 880 01:07:01.320 --> 01:07:10.239 Nothing? Wow? Yeah, PhD in education. But but still a really 881 01:07:10.239 --> 01:07:14.599 good person, a smart person. Yeah, and so John's a little bit 882 01:07:14.679 --> 01:07:15.679 like that. Of course, he knows what's going on in Gaza, but 883 01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:19.920 he doesn't follow the culture wars. I see the importance of the culture wars, 884 01:07:19.960 --> 01:07:25.800 and I think sometimes yeah, like doctor Jill. No, much smarter 885 01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:30.440 than doctor Jill actually and much more capable. John doesn't doesn't see those things 886 01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:34.880 as important, so he purposely doesn't pay attention to them. But he's still 887 01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:39.039 a great guy. He really, he's a really great guy. Okay, 888 01:07:39.039 --> 01:07:42.000 give me a big smile. I want to get a screenshot for the wait. 889 01:07:42.039 --> 01:07:44.400 Wait, I have to do it so you get my flag. Can't 890 01:07:44.440 --> 01:07:47.840 hold on a sit up straight for a change, I can't. Okay, 891 01:07:47.400 --> 01:07:55.159 sorry, mile for the camera. Good, Okay, all right, Babylon 892 01:07:55.239 --> 01:08:02.679 b Yeah, hamas leader appointed senior fellow at Harvard University. That's not even 893 01:08:02.920 --> 01:08:09.480 that's not even sad satire. Yeah, liberal's call for canceling Normandy invasion as 894 01:08:09.519 --> 01:08:15.960 innocent French people live there. Nobody does this better. They just don't, 895 01:08:16.079 --> 01:08:21.680 you know, they just don't. How about colleges graciously offer addicts for Jewish 896 01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:27.079 students to hideen during violent rallies. Yeah, I know that's a more than 897 01:08:27.159 --> 01:08:30.439 satire, but yes, right, yeah, it really is. This one's 898 01:08:30.439 --> 01:08:36.479 sort of funny. I have yet to ask my MMA son about this one. 899 01:08:36.600 --> 01:08:42.800 I guess it's true to shed gay beer image bud Light partners with Sport, 900 01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:45.560 where sweaty men and underwear hug for twenty five minutes. Yeah, the 901 01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:51.560 picture is you know, some wrestlers. Yeah, some MMA wrestlers smoke rises 902 01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:57.840 over capital, indicating Congress has resumed setting taxpayer money on fire. Yeah, 903 01:08:58.039 --> 01:09:04.279 that's sure true. And over last week where they said that Hamas decides that 904 01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:11.520 you know, the Emperor hero Hido wants a ceasefire after Pearl Harbor, and 905 01:09:11.560 --> 01:09:16.439 they had, you know, this week it's Hamas clarifies they only want Israel 906 01:09:16.520 --> 01:09:24.600 to cease fire because God, these are too close. They're not even satire 907 01:09:24.640 --> 01:09:28.439 anymore. No, right, yeah, okay, do you have a Camalism. 908 01:09:28.880 --> 01:09:31.760 I don't, I should, but i'll just you know, put in 909 01:09:31.760 --> 01:09:34.920 the placeholder for Kamela. She's been really quiet about all this stuff, which 910 01:09:34.960 --> 01:09:41.000 I think is actually I heard a Democrat say she's been a wall Yeah, 911 01:09:41.119 --> 01:09:44.840 and I'll bet that's because everybody knows that whatever she says will be stupid. 912 01:09:45.760 --> 01:09:50.279 All right, But it is possible that she can make a prepared statement and 913 01:09:50.920 --> 01:09:57.079 still get it so god awful messed up wrong. Well, I've been wondering, 914 01:09:57.119 --> 01:09:59.880 well, we'll linger on this for twenty seconds. I've been wondering if 915 01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:03.159 her staff actually hates her because she's, you know, reputation for two decades 916 01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:08.079 now being a terrible boss. And I could see people who say here say 917 01:10:08.119 --> 01:10:11.479 that she's like Ron Burghency. She'll say anything you put on the teleprompter. 918 01:10:12.760 --> 01:10:17.039 So I wonder or she hires such staff of such appalling mediocrity that they don't 919 01:10:17.079 --> 01:10:23.840 know how that they're giving her say. But you know, if you ever 920 01:10:23.880 --> 01:10:30.479 watched The Office and the incredibly clever dialogue that they gave to Michael Scott, 921 01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:35.720 it takes a special kind of genius to put together that sort of dialogue. 922 01:10:35.720 --> 01:10:41.399 And I think that about Kamala Harris. There's a special because there's a consistency 923 01:10:41.439 --> 01:10:45.399 to the idiocy. It's not just random yeah, you know, And so 924 01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:50.399 that's what makes it all. It's almost as if they got a few of 925 01:10:50.439 --> 01:10:57.840 her original sayings and they put it into chat GPT version four and then said, 926 01:10:57.880 --> 01:11:01.039 give us more kamalaisms, and that's what it does. Well, that's 927 01:11:01.039 --> 01:11:04.239 what I'm gonna do next, are you? I'm gonna try it. I 928 01:11:04.239 --> 01:11:08.159 mean, I haven't thought about that, but I'll just ask chat be she 929 01:11:08.439 --> 01:11:14.199 be te to write or other you know, generative apps to write camelisms and 930 01:11:14.279 --> 01:11:16.479 see what we come up with. But for now, I know, and 931 01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:19.039 just so you know, in order to do it, well, you actually 932 01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:25.479 need to upload some so that it learns. Yeah, the later versions, 933 01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:29.239 that's what. Okay, for now, Steve, drink your whiskey. Need 934 01:11:29.880 --> 01:11:33.319 let's go, Brandon, and God don't forget to milk the soft serve power 935 01:11:33.359 --> 01:11:40.560 dividend. Well okay, well wait we are Now is the time to drink 936 01:11:40.600 --> 01:11:44.720 our whiskey, and that time is every day, right, and God save 937 01:11:44.800 --> 01:11:47.600 the queen man. Thanks everybody for tuning in. We had a nice crowd 938 01:11:47.600 --> 01:12:40.319 here today and we'll be back next week. Trapping slat Sail Ricochet joined the 939 01:12:40.319 --> 01:12:44.720 conversation. He kept sending me pictures of Oh, look at me drinking in 940 01:12:44.760 --> 01:12:47.560 this caffee reading my book. Don't I look like an intellectual? No? 941 01:12:47.680 --> 01:12:51.960 I didn't say that, Yes you did. That was the point. I'm 942 01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:54.800 not done making fun of you, but I'll move on
