WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.759
<v Speaker 1>A leader in Germany, is one of the five who

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>sat there during Trump's first term when he said, Hey,

3
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:14.839
<v Speaker 1>you know what y'all shouldn't do. You shouldn't just have Russia,

4
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:17.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, meeting your energy needs, because if something goes

5
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.199
<v Speaker 1>sideways and you're closing all these coal plants and then

6
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>it's just Russia, you guys are gonna look dumb and

7
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>things are gonna get expensive and it's gonna suck. And

8
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the people laughing at that table is essentially

9
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the Adam Schiff of Germany. Okay, that's the dude. Days

10
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>out of the German election, this is getting absolutely Oh

11
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>what what jd Vance is doing? And I and and

12
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing I don't welcome in some isolationist way.

13
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I just it's it's just been so long, so uh.

14
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Jd Vance and as well as Pete Haig Seth obviously

15
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>is Defense Secretary, you know, really on the European tour,

16
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 1>and of course Vance gave the speech to their face

17
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 1>was just like, hey, probably shouldn't throw people in jail

18
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>for memes. That's kind of dumb. We don't like that.

19
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 1>And everyone's like, ah, he went in there and he

20
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>what did I see like him too, showing up at

21
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>his best friend's birthday party and making a scene. No,

22
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 1>that was literally a discussion about defense and security stuff.

23
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>So one that was there too, you guys, including the wait,

24
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>what is she from Finland or something? The the time,

25
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the really thin chick who's like, oh, we're gonna We're

26
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna shut down the X. Right, you and your cohorts

27
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 1>have your defense essentially subsidized by the United States. And

28
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>it's more so than that. It also is the pillar

29
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>of industry and commerce in several European cities, not just

30
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 1>in Germany. In Spain we have a huge, huge bait

31
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 1>was it Roda Roda whatever? It is huge basis over

32
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>in Europe. And so you sit there and and and

33
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 1>you watched an interview in Jade. Vance is like, hey man,

34
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, one of the things we're giving a lot

35
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 1>of thought to is is the is the whole part

36
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>where you guys are willing to throw people in jail

37
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>for memes and and you know our values here is

38
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>the United States of America. Well, why why would you

39
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 1>do that? And he says this days ahead of the

40
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>German election.

41
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 2>I might point out Germany's entire defense is subsidized by

42
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 2>the American taxpayer. There are thousands upon thousands of American

43
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>troops in Germany today. Do you think that the American

44
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>taxpayer is going to stand for that? If you get

45
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>thrown in jail in Germany for posting a mean tweet.

46
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 3>Of course they're not right.

47
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 2>So the point that I try to make to our

48
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>European friends, and I think that there are friends I

49
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>believe that I know President Trump does, is that friendship

50
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 2>is based on shared values. You do not have shared values.

51
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 2>If you're jailing people for saying we should close down

52
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 2>our border, you don't have shared values. If you cancel

53
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>elections because you don't like the result, and that happened

54
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>in Romania, you don't have You do not have shared

55
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 2>values if you're so afraid of your own people that

56
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 2>you silence them and shut them up.

57
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>So let's have shared values.

58
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's defend the democracy, let's have free expression, not just

59
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>in the United States but all over the Western world.

60
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 2>That is the path to strong alliances in Europe.

61
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 1>That is, by the way, the level of hand grenade.

62
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 1>He just rolled into the room with that, And I

63
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>know people are like, oh, why would you, why are

64
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 1>you upset? In the Apple card because for too long

65
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>everything's been allowed to progress to where it is. Right.

66
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 1>The idea that the US you want to be friends

67
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 1>with the US, and we, in a limited way want

68
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to be friends with you turned into we essentially, you know,

69
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.719
<v Speaker 1>we fund two thirds of NATO, which is essentially the

70
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Europeans Defense system. So they're able to you know, take

71
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>their funding, their money within their particular economies and then

72
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>spend it on other stuff. And don't get me wrong,

73
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 1>there are strategic alliances the US has to have and

74
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>with the threat of China and Russia where it is,

75
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, there needs to be forward deployed areas in

76
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the world. I understand that, and we have long standing partnerships,

77
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of which were born out of World War Two,

78
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 1>which are strategically advantageous. Germany houses what it's not just

79
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>one base, it's like seven or something, and it's huge

80
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of the big German cities. It's it

81
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 1>probably would destabilize the economy of the regions if the

82
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>US just left. And so they're sitting out there and jd.

83
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Vance says that, and this is the part that's hard

84
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to watch. Now you're seeing these German politics, Like within

85
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>a day, they're like, oh no, don't you won't you

86
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 1>miss our strudle. You're gonna miss our strudle. You know

87
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>what to go anywhere? Dude, that that put the fear

88
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>of God into him, because now you've got to pay

89
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 1>for your own stuff and you gotta eat all that

90
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:37.319
<v Speaker 1>strudle too. Uh and uh. The financial impact of that

91
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 1>is wild man. And then of course that opens up

92
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 1>the next layer of people criticizing like, oh, well, you're

93
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:46.639
<v Speaker 1>just you know, you're now you're just gonna use the

94
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>European nations like puppets. Well they don't have to be,

95
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and you're not using them like puppets. You're just saying, hey,

96
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm the you know, I'm the the alpha in the room.

97
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.439
<v Speaker 1>Show me a little respect. And we've just we've just

98
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 1>gone that little bit too far, and we we have

99
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>been hesitant, always hesitant to go hey, no, no, no, no,

100
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Speaker 1>we got to eat too. And so it feels really

101
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable that you're doing it now. But she didn't do

102
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 1>it forever. It's the the in the same way that

103
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know if this is their master plan.

104
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 1>If it is one, it's going to be an ugly ride.

105
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know that you get there. But it

106
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>used to be the US didn't have federal income text,

107
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>but we still had stuff, not as much stuff, but

108
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 1>we had stuff. So how did we have stuff? We

109
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 1>had stuff because anyone who wanted to do business in

110
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the United States, with the world's richest economy and chose

111
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 1>to tarif US, we tiff them. That's it. There's a

112
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 1>cost of doing business. It's a it's a cover charge

113
00:06:55.480 --> 00:07:00.879
<v Speaker 1>at the hot barrow. Okay, you got a great band inside.

114
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>That's what we used to do. And then we didn't,

115
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 1>and then we we migrated to this other thing. Well,

116
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.839
<v Speaker 1>coming out of Europe and coming out of World War two.

117
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.439
<v Speaker 1>And that's not to say that we're not going to

118
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>have bases in places where people clearly don't align with

119
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>our values. Turkey clearly doesn't align with our values. However,

120
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 1>there is a lot of strategic importance there. Okay, So

121
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.639
<v Speaker 1>that's simple. And when you're and when you're dealing in

122
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>this world with countries like Russia and China, let me

123
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.199
<v Speaker 1>just stick with China for a moment, you realize that

124
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:43.079
<v Speaker 1>China thinks all of that is China, right. This is

125
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.879
<v Speaker 1>what people fail to understand China, and within the Communist Party,

126
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.879
<v Speaker 1>which is China, thinks that's all China. When I say

127
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 1>that's all China, I mean Koreas, Philippines, they think that's

128
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>all them. Probably Vietnam that's them. They think that's all China.

129
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 1>And that's the way that it should be. All those

130
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 1>stupid little islands that they essentially dumped on very fragile,

131
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 1>ecologically fragile coral reefs. So go, oh, look, we got

132
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>islands that's ours two and then two hundred and ten

133
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.079
<v Speaker 1>miles around it, which is just an insane, weird number

134
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>they thought up. And if Europe wants to go at

135
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>that alone and not to mention Ross, Hey, do you

136
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>know what happens when Europe's just left to their own

137
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.399
<v Speaker 1>devices historically? Have you ever seen any of this? You

138
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>ever looked at any of this little research? But you're

139
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>what the European countries like to do.

140
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 3>They like to kill each other.

141
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, they got beef, bro, they got beef, and

142
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it's resource based. Look, I understand times

143
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>are different and things are new, but yeah, the very

144
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:01.039
<v Speaker 1>basic ask that if we're going to essential structure and

145
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 1>stabilize part of your economy that you don't sit there

146
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>at the UN delegation. We're all sitting around talking about

147
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 1>us like it's you know, the mean girls club at lunch.

148
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 3>Right, and you can we can if listen if we're there.

149
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:15.919
<v Speaker 3>They're like, oh, we don't want you here, you know,

150
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 3>you mind your own business. So we're like, we're gonna leave,

151
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.120
<v Speaker 3>and they're like, oh, well, now you don't care about Europe.

152
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 3>We can't win, and they're they're spoiled and they're entitled.

153
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 3>They really are. They Oh, we have our healthcare system. Yeah,

154
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 3>because we're paying for all of your defense. Correct, you're

155
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:35.320
<v Speaker 3>the world's upcut. Sorry, that's what it is. So you

156
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 3>can choose to be a partner in it. And Germany

157
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 3>obviously has a lot of innovators. They have business aptitude,

158
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 3>They know how to make money.

159
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 1>They know how to build things, they know how to

160
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>uh mobilize. Okay, right, So is is that a strategic

161
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>partnership or is it? Oh that soldier, Yeah, he made

162
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:57.879
<v Speaker 1>a mean tweet and it happens to be married to

163
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 1>a German citizen because he's been stationed there for three

164
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 1>years or whatever, and we're gonna make his life. Hell,

165
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>what do you want to do. And so now you're

166
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.960
<v Speaker 1>seeing these these German politicians, especially ahead of election, because

167
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.159
<v Speaker 1>this is stuff that resonates with people. If you live

168
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>near one any one of those US military installations, you

169
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:25.559
<v Speaker 1>know somebody who works there. I promise you, I promise you,

170
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>that entire region around Ramstein and whatnot, that whole like

171
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>that would devastate. How many of you listening military have

172
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>been stationed there? What would that look like with no

173
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Americans there other than you know, either random tourists or whatever.

174
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's gonna be really interesting. Then they're like, oh,

175
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the US is meddling in there. You guys literally wrote

176
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.879
<v Speaker 1>in your stupid Der Spiegel or whatever. The thing is, right,

177
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 1>we talked about it on the air, where you essentially

178
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.399
<v Speaker 1>took a united stance within the German media that Donald

179
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Trump is essentially Hitler, which is which is really rich

180
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>considering where it's coming from. And all he's saying. He's

181
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.639
<v Speaker 1>not saying he wants to do anything too, He's just like, well, look,

182
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.080
<v Speaker 1>if you don't, if you don't like us, we'll go

183
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>eat at another table. It's your choice, and I'm here

184
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.120
<v Speaker 1>for it. I'm gonna be watching that all day, all right,

185
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.879
<v Speaker 1>coming up on the show, Representative Crockett, the gift that

186
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 1>keeps on giving. We'll do that. There's a new FBI chief.

187
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Holy cow, there's not enough popcorn Germany. Do you guys

188
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>make pop You don't make popcorn? That's too bad because

189
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>where I need a lot of popcorn, A lot, a

190
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of it. And I'll explain slowly as the morning unfolds.

191
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Plus we'll chat with Pete Callender. That's at eight oh

192
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:55.399
<v Speaker 1>five stick around case O Day Radio program phone number

193
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.559
<v Speaker 1>eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.

194
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>So what do we do? Do we jailed the US

195
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:04.279
<v Speaker 1>hockey team? Or are we good they win?

196
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Last night?

197
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to go all Ouda and Kusa and

198
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.039
<v Speaker 1>all that crazy You remember all that crazy crap that

199
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>came out what Saddam's kids were up to and managing

200
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>a RAX Olympic team like you didn't want to lose.

201
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately though in the the Gang of four or whatever,

202
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't evenmember what is technically the name of this tournament?

203
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Four nations? Okay, all right, so US Canada last night

204
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 1>who we beat? Remember three to one the other night?

205
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 1>This was the final though bracketed through and uh it

206
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>took over time. Canada got it done three to two.

207
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>So good, good game there. I'll tell you. The redeeming

208
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 1>thing is, uh Trudeau tried to make this like his win,

209
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 1>and even Canadians who seem to be very like nationalized

210
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.039
<v Speaker 1>and upset with the US are also like, uh, now

211
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.799
<v Speaker 1>you suck too, This isn't for you. Shut up. So

212
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:09.159
<v Speaker 1>that's fun to watch. Yeah, the Four Nations face off tournament,

213
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>which they did. This is instead of the All Star

214
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>this is NHL's All Star, which, by the way, I'm

215
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>sure the ratings just killed and definitely surpassed what the

216
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>NBA put up the other day. But yeah, you know

217
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>what it was. It was good. It was a good

218
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>hockey match if you watched it, and that's good, and

219
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>that's fine that they went ahead and won. It's fun.

220
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we have the Stanley Cups. That's what counts.

221
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>But okay, all right, everyone had a good time. And

222
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.759
<v Speaker 1>you know what, it had been a while, like really,

223
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Ross and I we got kind of screwed on this whole,

224
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 1>like we don't remember how good it probably felt with

225
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the miracle on ice right where you really had that rival.

226
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.159
<v Speaker 1>We got whiffs of it in the Olympics. Do you

227
00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 1>remember when they tried to like jazz up figure skating

228
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.799
<v Speaker 1>and we go against Russia on the Winter Olympics. Even then,

229
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 1>we weren't sitting there figuring out where our Cold War

230
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>bunkers were for when the nukes came. Like that was

231
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.679
<v Speaker 1>you had real skin in the game, and we just

232
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.279
<v Speaker 1>haven't had anything like that in forever.

233
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what did we have? We egypped? We got like

234
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.879
<v Speaker 3>Nancy Kerrigan versus like a sona by Yule or something.

235
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and I'm not knocking on their talent, but I'm like,

236
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, back in the day, we'd go against Russia

237
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>because the other thing was we're racing them to the moon.

238
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Right, it wasn't say it wasn't like the evil Empire?

239
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:40.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? How good did that have to feel? Lake Placid? Right,

240
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>that's where that happened.

241
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:41.480
<v Speaker 4>Right.

242
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh So having a little bit of that put

243
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it onto a sporting event. Oh, I'm here for it,

244
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's great. Congratulations they they went, they and you

245
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>know what they should do well in hockey? That cat

246
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>patl trending. I'm sure that's positive. What's this other thing,

247
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.519
<v Speaker 1>Luigi list Ross? What do we think a Luigi list

248
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 1>is because that's another thing trending is that people like

249
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>to play Mario Brothers.

250
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:14.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah no, that's a Nintendo switch thing.

251
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I don't have a switch, so I wouldn't

252
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.600
<v Speaker 1>have known. Okay, so why are the fifty one senators

253
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.039
<v Speaker 1>and Kosh Patel this fifty one centators have voted for

254
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.519
<v Speaker 1>Mikosh Patel on it.

255
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:27.919
<v Speaker 3>It's like a Mario Kart tournament.

256
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, they're all going to do a tournament. Because some

257
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 1>would look at that, I don't let me get my

258
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>little tinfoil ad here. Some would look at that and

259
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.360
<v Speaker 1>be like, I think that's you saying that they should

260
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 1>be killed, maybe shot in the back of midtown Manhattan

261
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>at o dark thirty in the morning. So I'm glad

262
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>that's going well for you. For you, Oh, some of these,

263
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>some of these posts, where's the restaurantant? Some hold on?

264
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.159
<v Speaker 1>One of these is my favorite absolute face.

265
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:02.759
<v Speaker 3>They're all in.

266
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Basically, they're like, ah, if you go to a restaurant,

267
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:06.919
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be, you know, like there's gonna be suddenly

268
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>spy devices everywhere. They're gonna be listening to you. But

269
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>what do you not understand? Why you have jd Vance,

270
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>who's literally sitting there. We played the audio, and it's

271
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about the idea that maybe if somebody says something online,

272
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't throw them in jail. That's kind of seemingly

273
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a plank of this administration. I don't know if you

274
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>know this. So then to imagine that it's all to

275
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>do that is on a little project e ee, just

276
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:43.600
<v Speaker 1>to me. So I'm gonna I'm gonna think the worst

277
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:48.159
<v Speaker 1>about that whole Luichi list thing. I can't find the

278
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.159
<v Speaker 1>restaurant one. You get the gist. Ah, here we go,

279
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.679
<v Speaker 1>wait a month until you suddenly find yourself looking around

280
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:58.360
<v Speaker 1>in a restaurant to make sure no one overhears what

281
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, or when you're conversations with neighbors dwindle, dwindled

282
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:08.039
<v Speaker 1>to pleasantries about the weather. It's only just begun again.

283
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.799
<v Speaker 1>What you're talking about is an atmosphere that existed and

284
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>most recently existed in Eastern European former Russian nation, Communist nations. Okay, right,

285
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:28.240
<v Speaker 1>it's still happening in the Belarus today where they would

286
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.960
<v Speaker 1>essentially they would they would deputize your neighbor to tattle

287
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.359
<v Speaker 1>on you, and your neighbor would do it, not necessarily

288
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 1>because they wanted you to go to the Gulag, but

289
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.200
<v Speaker 1>they realized that they didn't give up some names and

290
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>some information, they wouldn't look loyal to the party, and

291
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:48.200
<v Speaker 1>so they literally make stuff up about people. That's why.

292
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.519
<v Speaker 1>That's how you got neighbors, nobody trusting anybody, and it's

293
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not a sustainable system. And that's what you wanted

294
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.920
<v Speaker 1>right when you're cheering on the whole. Hey, we need

295
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 1>you know what we need. We need a group of

296
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>theater kids to decide what can and can't be said

297
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:06.319
<v Speaker 1>on the internet. We need to do. So what that

298
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:13.400
<v Speaker 1>guy's pug did a Nazi salute. Let's throw them in jail. Hey,

299
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 1>that's that's all the things that you championed. And what

300
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:19.799
<v Speaker 1>you think Patel's gonna go in and do the thing

301
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:21.480
<v Speaker 1>that you secretly wanted to do.

302
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Right away?

303
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about that. I guess I shouldn't use

304
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.559
<v Speaker 1>my real name on social media? Is that what this

305
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.799
<v Speaker 1>has come to? Your name is hot COADMD dot bluesky.

306
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not finding your address with that. What are you

307
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:42.200
<v Speaker 1>talking about? And nobody else cares? You have thirty five

308
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:49.880
<v Speaker 1>people that follow you, Nobody cares. So you know, that's

309
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the real irony here. You're gonna run around and you're

310
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.480
<v Speaker 1>posting things like Luigi list and you know, they're essentially

311
00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.680
<v Speaker 1>saying that fifty one senators and an FBI director now

312
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:04.960
<v Speaker 1>have to be murdered, and probably nothing will happen because

313
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:09.640
<v Speaker 1>they realize what affeckless loser you are. Ain't no guy

314
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:15.359
<v Speaker 1>with thirty five followers gonna do something until you go

315
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to hitman dot com like all the rest of those idiots,

316
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.519
<v Speaker 1>and then you're one of my stories. Yeah, you're you're

317
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be just fine. Ah, what a day?

318
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:26.640
<v Speaker 3>What a day?

319
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:28.200
<v Speaker 1>What a day. I'll tell you something. The worst of

320
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the days with kash Patel in there, and that's Adam

321
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.720
<v Speaker 1>schiff Man. Remember Adam schiff and I just does not

322
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.759
<v Speaker 1>get enough press coverage. Adam schiff was removed from his

323
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:43.680
<v Speaker 1>committee assignments and formally censured by the House of Representatives

324
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:48.240
<v Speaker 1>at the time he's now a senator because they basically said,

325
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.519
<v Speaker 1>you lie, nobody trusts you, we can't have you with

326
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the ability to literally access classified information. This isn't happening anymore.

327
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 1>And he absolutely melted it down when they did that. Well,

328
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot more there and Kash Battel has made

329
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>no bones about the fact that Adam Schiff there there,

330
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.440
<v Speaker 1>you know there possibly could be some other stuff. So

331
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:13.720
<v Speaker 1>this is literally his worst nightmare.

332
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:17.319
<v Speaker 5>This is someone we cannot trust. This is someone who

333
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.240
<v Speaker 5>lacks the character to do this job, someone who lacks

334
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:23.319
<v Speaker 5>the integrity to do this job. We know that our

335
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:28.920
<v Speaker 5>Republican colleagues know that the only qualification cash Battel has

336
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:33.119
<v Speaker 5>to be FBI director is that when everyone else in

337
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.079
<v Speaker 5>the first Trump administration said no, I won't do that

338
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.200
<v Speaker 5>that crosses moral, ethical, and legal lines, cash Battel said,

339
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.319
<v Speaker 5>sign me up. In the first Trump administration, as we

340
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.599
<v Speaker 5>are seeing in the second, you rise to the level

341
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.559
<v Speaker 5>of your sickophancye. And no one is a bigger or

342
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:56.599
<v Speaker 5>a dangerous sick ephent than cash Battel. This political hack

343
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.960
<v Speaker 5>does not deserve to be in this building. He can't

344
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 5>do the job. He won't protect the public. He will

345
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:08.279
<v Speaker 5>misuse the resources of the bureau. He will weaponize it

346
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:12.200
<v Speaker 5>against the President's political opponents, rather than the protecting the

347
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:14.960
<v Speaker 5>safety the public safety of the American people.

348
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Dude, you got thrown off all your committees. Nobody trusts you.

349
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>They didn't even make a big stink on the Democrat side.

350
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Ada hemmdon had And there's the audio where they're like

351
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:27.079
<v Speaker 1>during the A and A thing and we were screaming

352
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.480
<v Speaker 1>like idiots. They didn't really mount anything. You know why,

353
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.920
<v Speaker 1>because it was indefensible the stuff you were doing. You

354
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.039
<v Speaker 1>told everybody point blank that there was evidence, you had

355
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 1>seen it, and it would come out that Trump colluded

356
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:47.240
<v Speaker 1>with Russia, which was a big charge. You said that

357
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:51.640
<v Speaker 1>evidence existed, and then you didn't even have the You

358
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:54.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't even pretend like some of the other evidence was

359
00:21:54.279 --> 00:22:00.759
<v Speaker 1>just your misinterpretation. It just never existed clearly. And all

360
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the shenanigans around how that whole committee ran. Yeah, I

361
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.920
<v Speaker 1>watching this guy be nervous makes my absolute day because

362
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.039
<v Speaker 1>he's not even making typical Adam Schiff arguments. He's throwing

363
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.799
<v Speaker 1>everything he's got. This was prior to the vote, and

364
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:18.440
<v Speaker 1>it did no good.

365
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.799
<v Speaker 6>Adam Schiff is the worst criminal in Congress in the

366
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:23.240
<v Speaker 6>LAS two.

367
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Hundred and fifty years.

368
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:25.640
<v Speaker 7>And Walbrits broke.

369
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:28.880
<v Speaker 6>That we're going to talk about right now is Adam

370
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.640
<v Speaker 6>Schiff met with a whistle blower. Adam Schiff went to

371
00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:33.880
<v Speaker 6>the podium day after day after day saying I know

372
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.319
<v Speaker 6>nothing about this. We're not going to discuss it. We're

373
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:39.519
<v Speaker 6>going to protect it. And then he Adam Schiff led

374
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:44.000
<v Speaker 6>the prosecution of the impeachment trial in the Senate of

375
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:47.720
<v Speaker 6>President Donald Trump, talk about someone who was conflicted out

376
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:50.000
<v Speaker 6>of the game because he was part of the hoax

377
00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:56.160
<v Speaker 6>that brought Tromela in, manufactured that false accusation, and then

378
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:58.440
<v Speaker 6>pedaled it out to the world. And he continued, you know,

379
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:00.920
<v Speaker 6>not surprising. He's lied about almost everything in his life,

380
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:04.240
<v Speaker 6>but now he lied just to set up a presidential peachment.

381
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:06.440
<v Speaker 6>And that's what I was talking about, these disinformation campaigns.

382
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:08.000
<v Speaker 7>And then he.

383
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.279
<v Speaker 6>Should be investigated because he lied to the world about

384
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:13.960
<v Speaker 6>his interactions with Charmela, who is a whistleblower. And I

385
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:17.640
<v Speaker 6>can't stress it enough. That started a presidential impeachment.

386
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:20.680
<v Speaker 1>And and and ended up what was the final costs

387
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and the Mueller thing. The Mueller thing was that fifty

388
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:31.039
<v Speaker 1>some million dollars And that's what not to mention the instability,

389
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the lies, the amount of money that people surrounding Trump

390
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:40.759
<v Speaker 1>ended up having to spend to defend themselves. Yeah, you

391
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.359
<v Speaker 1>should be nervous. And your buddy with his all white

392
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:46.480
<v Speaker 1>little beach club mister Whitehouse or whatever up there with

393
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:48.880
<v Speaker 1>his all white club that he was, you know, like

394
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.480
<v Speaker 1>to go to because you know it's just whites. Ugh,

395
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:57.359
<v Speaker 1>no pores, no colored people, no, none of that. Just yeah, whites,

396
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.759
<v Speaker 1>white House. It's in your name, bro, it's in your name.

397
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.000
<v Speaker 1>This guy, you're the moral compass. You're out there standing

398
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:07.759
<v Speaker 1>next to shift. Nobody's listening to you.

399
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Krashptel Mark, my words will cause evil in this building

400
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:16.240
<v Speaker 3>behind us, and Republicans who vote for him will rue

401
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:17.039
<v Speaker 3>that day.

402
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're ross. Did you see any

403
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.319
<v Speaker 1>ruin on the Republican front yesterday after this? I didn't

404
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:26.839
<v Speaker 1>see any ruing. Maybe the ruin starts later. I don't know.

405
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:29.559
<v Speaker 3>I think it was delayed because of the snow.

406
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh they put the ruin of it because the that's

407
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:34.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, that would make sense. There's a lot of

408
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.599
<v Speaker 1>stuff that was put off. But I'm assuming Lincoln's not

409
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 1>in school today, so why should he also be ruining.

410
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:45.480
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a fair point. So, oh, what a good day.

411
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I know we didn't win the hockey thing, but I'll

412
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:51.359
<v Speaker 1>take this as the consolation prize. Six forty five. Hang on,

413
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:54.599
<v Speaker 1>that is not why he quote swapped out the resolute

414
00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:56.559
<v Speaker 1>desk because he thought there was a booger on it.

415
00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:58.759
<v Speaker 1>And I know, you know, this is New York Post.

416
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 1>They know that the thing is being refurbished. It literally

417
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:08.960
<v Speaker 1>was discussed. They go through, right. You gotta, you know,

418
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:12.400
<v Speaker 1>make sure that the how old is that thing? Been

419
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 1>around a bit so they'll go through and they'll refurbish it.

420
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker 1>You gotta put the secret map pieces back in the

421
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:19.400
<v Speaker 1>secret drawers.

422
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:19.240
<v Speaker 4>You know.

423
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:24.200
<v Speaker 1>You get that thing loaded for bear. The desk which

424
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:31.799
<v Speaker 1>was first utilized in the White House actually by John F. Kennedy.

425
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I realized it was the first also utilized by Jimmy Carter,

426
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden than Trump. Now they're

427
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:44.400
<v Speaker 1>they're just temporarily replaced. It's fine. I got another desk

428
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:47.079
<v Speaker 1>in there. He's got room to work the die coke

429
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.039
<v Speaker 1>buttons where it needs to be. This is not a

430
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:55.359
<v Speaker 1>big deal and it's not over a booger. Okay, let's see.

431
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:57.519
<v Speaker 1>I hope there's a little more history here. When was

432
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:04.559
<v Speaker 1>it actually because people think that the White House always

433
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:06.799
<v Speaker 1>had this thing, but actually one of the railroad companies

434
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:13.480
<v Speaker 1>had it from like the eighteen fifties or something. All right, no, no, no,

435
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:15.240
<v Speaker 1>here we go. Okay, all right, so I wanted to

436
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.640
<v Speaker 1>be clear here. All right, So the initial desk was

437
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.680
<v Speaker 1>built the eighteen fifties, and then what then became the

438
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:27.960
<v Speaker 1>updated version of the resolute desk was, oh President Hayes

439
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:34.680
<v Speaker 1>eighteen eighty when the HMS resolute part, Like that part

440
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:36.680
<v Speaker 1>is true, that's what the desk is made out of,

441
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.319
<v Speaker 1>presented by Queen Victoria at the time. So yeah, they're

442
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:42.279
<v Speaker 1>just there. They'll buff it up as long as they

443
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.920
<v Speaker 1>don't get that lady who they hired to restore that

444
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Jesus photo to do it, remember that painting disaster. I

445
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:54.000
<v Speaker 1>think it'll be okay, but I don't think that's accurate.

446
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:57.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, How are we feeling about the James Bond franchise?

447
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:02.240
<v Speaker 1>By the way, So, and I wonder what the dollar amount.

448
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:05.200
<v Speaker 1>It had to be huge, because you know, the family

449
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:08.920
<v Speaker 1>members of the author of the James Bond books have

450
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker 1>always always been there exerting creative control. Anything that you

451
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:16.799
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do with James Bond, you had to go

452
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:22.000
<v Speaker 1>through the family, Michael Wilson, Barbara Broccoli or whatever. And

453
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:27.519
<v Speaker 1>and for the first time ever, the family has signed

454
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 1>over creative control to Jeff Bezos, and if you remember,

455
00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Amazon went and paid an ungodly sum. I don't remember

456
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:41.839
<v Speaker 1>what it was. It was like in the it was

457
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.240
<v Speaker 1>like a billion dollars or something right to the family

458
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.759
<v Speaker 1>of Tolkien so that they could expand on that. And

459
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.279
<v Speaker 1>we saw how that worked out like that. That turned

460
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.839
<v Speaker 1>into a bit of a dud there. So I think

461
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:56.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are nervous what they're going to

462
00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:59.200
<v Speaker 1>do with it. I I look, do I think that

463
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna do with it? Doing with the Jesus Christ

464
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Superstar and they're gonna get the black queer female actress

465
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:10.440
<v Speaker 1>from the Ariana Grande weird videos? No, I wonder if

466
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:14.559
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't put himself in this. Have you seen have

467
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you seen Bezos man? Like he's just like, I don't know,

468
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Ross and Edward discussing this off the air. So you

469
00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:22.759
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's on steroids. You just think that like

470
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:24.480
<v Speaker 1>this is this is his jam.

471
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:27.480
<v Speaker 3>It amazes me to me. And you see this a

472
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:29.400
<v Speaker 3>lot like there are people that don't go to the gym,

473
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:33.720
<v Speaker 3>and I have like they assume that anybody that makes

474
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:35.960
<v Speaker 3>gains at the gym, or that gets in shape or

475
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:38.519
<v Speaker 3>on steroids, the dude is not on steroids. He looks

476
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 3>like somebody. He looks like somebody that Yeah, he looks

477
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:43.599
<v Speaker 3>like somebody that started focusing on his body and caring

478
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:45.519
<v Speaker 3>about his health because he can't because he's a billionaire

479
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:46.160
<v Speaker 3>now and.

480
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:51.279
<v Speaker 1>He's got a metabolicist and a nutritionist and right he's

481
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:54.400
<v Speaker 1>spending the money. It's just the line is steroids.

482
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:56.599
<v Speaker 3>Do you see the same thing online about RFK Junior

483
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:58.559
<v Speaker 3>where you have like people like, oh, he's on steroids

484
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:01.119
<v Speaker 3>because he can he can be press And it's like, no,

485
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:03.039
<v Speaker 3>it looks like somebody who's like focused on his health

486
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:06.160
<v Speaker 3>and you can't. But he has the time to do

487
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:08.000
<v Speaker 3>it now, so you have the time to invest and

488
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:09.400
<v Speaker 3>go to the gym, and now he looks healthy.

489
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Well he's got he's got a yacht with a Chase

490
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:12.960
<v Speaker 1>yacht the size of a yacht.

491
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:14.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure it has a gym on it as well.

492
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he's got several gyms probably. Yeah, yeah, no,

493
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:23.119
<v Speaker 1>no question there. But also I wonder if that like,

494
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:26.240
<v Speaker 1>what is that fascination with some of these billionaires, you know,

495
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:29.839
<v Speaker 1>like Zuckerberg, He's like I'm surfing and fighting mma now right,

496
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:31.759
<v Speaker 1>and and so and that's fine if he wants to

497
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:33.559
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and do that. I wonder that if the

498
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:41.759
<v Speaker 1>next James Bond is a bald dude from Seattle. Maybe

499
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but yeah, So they're they're gonna go

500
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:50.319
<v Speaker 1>forward with Amazon MGM Studios, just Prime Videos, main main

501
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:53.799
<v Speaker 1>deal there, and they have creative control, which is a

502
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:57.880
<v Speaker 1>very different situation. So I don't know what all they're

503
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.039
<v Speaker 1>gonna do with it. Let's see here. I was hoping

504
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to find numbers on the actual deal, but I have

505
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:09.279
<v Speaker 1>not seen those. All told, the Bond franchise has earned

506
00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 1>more than seven billion since nineteen sixty two. Do you

507
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:16.599
<v Speaker 1>know Ross? Do you know what the first James Bond

508
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:21.000
<v Speaker 1>film was? Nineteen sixty two? Sean Connery obviously doctor No.

509
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:27.240
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, and this goes back to books, obviously it

510
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:29.640
<v Speaker 1>is nineteen fifty three.

511
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 3>Yes, It is funny how yesterday there was like a

512
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:34.759
<v Speaker 3>feeling online where everybody was like, James Bond is dead.

513
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:37.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know it's dead. I think they're just looking

514
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:40.160
<v Speaker 1>at what Amazon did with the Tolkien stuff.

515
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:42.799
<v Speaker 3>So fine, like people can see what's coming and they're like,

516
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:44.920
<v Speaker 3>oh man, it sucks, or.

517
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they learned their lesson from that. Maybe they went,

518
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, with every you know, with everything kind of

519
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:53.960
<v Speaker 1>backing off in Disney, backing off a little. Maybe maybe

520
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Bezios looks at it and goes, look, I just I

521
00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:59.559
<v Speaker 1>just flushed all that money, that Tolkien money down the toilet.

522
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we should not turn this thing into a you know,

523
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a leftist passion project and just have James Bond run

524
00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:11.079
<v Speaker 1>around killing people.

525
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:11.240
<v Speaker 4>No.

526
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:13.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if he does it correctly, right with the

527
00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:16.079
<v Speaker 3>current climate, it's a it's a windfall. It should be

528
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:17.720
<v Speaker 3>a financial windfall if you do it correctly.

529
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.079
<v Speaker 1>I fail, Yes, one hundred percent. And here's the thing.

530
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:22.680
<v Speaker 1>We don't even have to get bogged. Because they were

531
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:25.599
<v Speaker 1>talking about like, well, what if Idris Elba plays James

532
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Bond they have a black Nobody cares like that's it

533
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:30.920
<v Speaker 1>was the part where you're like, James Bond is a

534
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:35.240
<v Speaker 1>woman now where because that's not James Bond, Because James Bond.

535
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:36.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know this bit of a

536
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:41.559
<v Speaker 1>woman iSER. All right, So look, I don't know. This

537
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.920
<v Speaker 1>is the first time I've seen it stated by I

538
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>guess a secondary source if you want to call it that.

539
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the Trump administration's trying to do this.

540
00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:59.440
<v Speaker 1>But if they are, holy crap. All right. So I

541
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:03.440
<v Speaker 1>mentioned earlier in the show that one of the things

542
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>that used to be a thing here in the United

543
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 1>States is that most of the federal government's obligations. Now

544
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:15.599
<v Speaker 1>we clearly we don't spend the same at the federal

545
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>level that we do now that we did you know,

546
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.240
<v Speaker 1>at any other point in our country. Right, there's a

547
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:27.720
<v Speaker 1>there's a much bigger, much bigger set of spending priorities,

548
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:31.839
<v Speaker 1>although it is being whittled down. And so the way

549
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:34.880
<v Speaker 1>that we would do that is the majority of it

550
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:39.559
<v Speaker 1>literally was paid for by other governments and other consumers

551
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:43.519
<v Speaker 1>and other companies in the form of tariffs. People wanted

552
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:45.559
<v Speaker 1>to do business, and they still do. They want to

553
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.799
<v Speaker 1>do business because there's just so much damn money here, okay,

554
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:53.440
<v Speaker 1>And so the price of doing business was some of

555
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:57.160
<v Speaker 1>your products are going to be tariffed. That's before you

556
00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.440
<v Speaker 1>got into the matching side of it. Now, if you

557
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:01.519
<v Speaker 1>want to tear of us, we're gonna we would tear

558
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:04.839
<v Speaker 1>af you equally. Sometimes we would overteariff, but we didn't

559
00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:08.200
<v Speaker 1>have a federal income tax. And then one day for

560
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:11.799
<v Speaker 1>uh and and I've seen a lot of the arguments

561
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:14.680
<v Speaker 1>as to how it transitioned to it, and there is

562
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:18.160
<v Speaker 1>some argument about how you could probably never go back

563
00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:22.839
<v Speaker 1>to just tariffs because you know what, because if you're

564
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.160
<v Speaker 1>just tariffs and then the thing that happened with the

565
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:27.680
<v Speaker 1>COVID happens, what does that do for the US economy.

566
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:33.519
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a nightmare. That being said, that kind of

567
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:39.119
<v Speaker 1>feels like what they're trying to do. That's what's so

568
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:44.640
<v Speaker 1>crazy to me. That feels exactly what they are trying

569
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to do. And it's not just me saying it. Howard

570
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:52.799
<v Speaker 1>Lutnik the the Commerce Secretary, right, so he's on Jesse

571
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Waters primetime. So when they're not showing you know, Jamal

572
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:02.000
<v Speaker 1>videos s he Waters is getting down to it with

573
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 1>the Commerce Secretary, and Lutnick says this.

574
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:08.360
<v Speaker 8>And our objective under Donald Trump is to balance this budget.

575
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:10.800
<v Speaker 8>And I'm telling you you watch it, We're gonna do it.

576
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:14.519
<v Speaker 9>If you get savings from these doze cuts, are you

577
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:16.960
<v Speaker 9>going to give any of this back to the American people.

578
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:19.360
<v Speaker 1>We keep hearing about these doze dividends.

579
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:23.639
<v Speaker 8>Well, think about it. Donald Trump announces the External Revenue Service,

580
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:27.719
<v Speaker 8>and his goal is very simple, to abolish His goal

581
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:31.119
<v Speaker 8>is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and let all

582
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:32.320
<v Speaker 8>the outsiders pay.

583
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:36.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so what he's saying is the thing I just said.

584
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:40.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's the Commerce secretary. So his goal is to

585
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:45.199
<v Speaker 1>abolish the IRS, which would essentially abolish the federal income

586
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:48.480
<v Speaker 1>tax or maybe there would be some variation, and let

587
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the tariffs pay.

588
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:52.639
<v Speaker 3>I feel like the Randy Morrish computer meme.

589
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:57.679
<v Speaker 1>I can't describe that on the air. I can't describe

590
00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that on the air. This is like sur he's having

591
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:01.119
<v Speaker 1>a really a good time in this computer.

592
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:04.920
<v Speaker 3>You feel like like libertarian Christmas. Yeah, we've said this

593
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:07.559
<v Speaker 3>for a long time, like, you know, abolish the Department

594
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.039
<v Speaker 3>of Education, audit the FED, get rid of that, get

595
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:13.360
<v Speaker 3>rid of the kind of you know what I'm saying,

596
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:16.760
<v Speaker 3>as it like it would never happen. And now you

597
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:19.599
<v Speaker 3>actually have these proposals, and it's like, what is happening here?

598
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:20.199
<v Speaker 3>It's amazing.

599
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Well and and and and I find myself and people

600
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>should you should find yourself. And I see folks will

601
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:29.880
<v Speaker 1>air this on social media and everyone will get you

602
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:33.159
<v Speaker 1>can't screw this up right, For the reasons I just

603
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:37.840
<v Speaker 1>explained to you, if you transition the revenues that are

604
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:42.960
<v Speaker 1>derived that are utilized to fun federal programs, and and

605
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:45.079
<v Speaker 1>you want to take it back to what it used

606
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:48.280
<v Speaker 1>to be. You have to recognize the possibility that something

607
00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:51.400
<v Speaker 1>like COVID could really check that up. So you gotta

608
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:53.199
<v Speaker 1>have a plan for that. And so maybe you don't

609
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:55.559
<v Speaker 1>do the whole thing, and you'd also have to shrink

610
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:58.239
<v Speaker 1>government a lot. That is correct, and that is the

611
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:00.679
<v Speaker 1>other That is the other aspect of this, because if

612
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.719
<v Speaker 1>you go if you roll into another COVID and you

613
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:06.159
<v Speaker 1>have all of the liabilities that you have, and a

614
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:08.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of these liabilities ain't going to go nowhere right

615
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:12.079
<v Speaker 1>Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. You can't just wipe it off

616
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the books. People lose their crap, and frankly, there's too

617
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:19.360
<v Speaker 1>many people invested. And even if you if you try

618
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:21.920
<v Speaker 1>to do things like it just the age for relevance,

619
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you got to phase it in over ten years. So

620
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:28.039
<v Speaker 1>these are all big conversations. So you can't just go

621
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:30.039
<v Speaker 1>out and blow it up for this purpose of blowing

622
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:32.800
<v Speaker 1>it up, as good as that may sound or feel.

623
00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:35.480
<v Speaker 3>You can't, like people are saying that. You see people

624
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:37.519
<v Speaker 3>saying they're like, oh, well, you know, you need that

625
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:40.440
<v Speaker 3>revenue or these or these other agencies, these government departments

626
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:42.320
<v Speaker 3>would have to close. And then you have other people

627
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:44.679
<v Speaker 3>that are like, you're starting to get it, Yeah, you're

628
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:45.400
<v Speaker 3>starting to get it.

629
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:48.599
<v Speaker 1>So it's a combination of all of these things. But

630
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:50.639
<v Speaker 1>you have to figure out for the things that you

631
00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:56.679
<v Speaker 1>deem essential for the federal government. But by reorgining the system,

632
00:36:57.199 --> 00:37:01.639
<v Speaker 1>it really hamstrings the ability of if a Democrat gets

633
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:03.599
<v Speaker 1>in there, to just go all right, you know, do

634
00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the Thano snap of the fingers. Only this doesn't kill

635
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:09.679
<v Speaker 1>half the people. It brings back all the stuff that

636
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:17.360
<v Speaker 1>they cut. If you've restructured the revenue system, that makes

637
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:22.440
<v Speaker 1>things incredibly interesting. And of course everyone's screaming bloody murder.

638
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.320
<v Speaker 1>They wheel Jasmine Crockett out there. She doesn't want you

639
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:28.199
<v Speaker 1>to have your five thousand dollars rebate check. Now here's

640
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:31.639
<v Speaker 1>the thing. We talked about this yesterday, this Doge dividend thing.

641
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:35.440
<v Speaker 1>It sounds nice, but it's probably not the best way

642
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:41.199
<v Speaker 1>to go about this because ultimately it's already tax money

643
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:43.679
<v Speaker 1>you have. You know, you got a credit card bill,

644
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:46.679
<v Speaker 1>you got to pay that, and yeah, well there is

645
00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the initial stimulation of spending. It really doesn't do anything

646
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:53.360
<v Speaker 1>in the grand scheme of things, when you're attempting to

647
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:58.039
<v Speaker 1>right size the government, it could actually complicate complim compliment,

648
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:04.440
<v Speaker 1>say compliment a complication eat things. But the more the

649
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Jasmine Crockett hates something, the more I wanted.

650
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:06.960
<v Speaker 8>Now.

651
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:09.000
<v Speaker 6>President Trump says he likes the idea of giving some

652
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:11.840
<v Speaker 6>of the savings from DOGE back to Americans as kind

653
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:12.440
<v Speaker 6>of a dividend.

654
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:16.599
<v Speaker 10>Would you support that, Listen, he's just telling a lie.

655
00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:18.840
<v Speaker 10>He's not the one that had anything to do with

656
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:22.400
<v Speaker 10>the twelve hundred dollars refunds that people had during the

657
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.679
<v Speaker 10>midst of COVID. That was done by a Democratic House

658
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:27.519
<v Speaker 10>and Democratic Senate. Right now, what they're going to do

659
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:29.960
<v Speaker 10>is say, hey, we want to give you a refund,

660
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:34.000
<v Speaker 10>but Congress won't let us because they already know that

661
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:37.280
<v Speaker 10>there's just no money for that. The only reason that

662
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:40.840
<v Speaker 10>those refunds came before was because we were living in

663
00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:43.800
<v Speaker 10>different times. This was a time in which hopefully we

664
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:46.639
<v Speaker 10>won't ever go through again. We had a once in

665
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:49.800
<v Speaker 10>a lifetime pandemic. The bad part is that I don't

666
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:51.800
<v Speaker 10>know if it's once in a lifetime because we know

667
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.519
<v Speaker 10>that Ebola, unfortunately was detected right here in New York

668
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:58.760
<v Speaker 10>here recently. And if we continue down this road of

669
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:01.800
<v Speaker 10>getting rid of scientists or deciding that we don't want

670
00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:04.639
<v Speaker 10>to rely on experts as relates to what they're telling

671
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:07.079
<v Speaker 10>us to do, or we don't want to deal with

672
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:10.119
<v Speaker 10>vaccines and medicine in this country, then we may be

673
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:13.000
<v Speaker 10>facing not only our next pandemic, but our next two

674
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:17.239
<v Speaker 10>to three or four pandemics because of their incompetence. So, no,

675
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:20.719
<v Speaker 10>we are not in the business of giving out money.

676
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.559
<v Speaker 10>And honestly, I don't know what five thousand dollars will

677
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:24.159
<v Speaker 10>do for you.

678
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:27.639
<v Speaker 1>All right, all right, let me just and this is

679
00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:28.280
<v Speaker 1>really the key thing.

680
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:31.159
<v Speaker 10>So no, we are not in the business of giving

681
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:34.239
<v Speaker 10>out money, and honestly, I don't know what five thousand

682
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:35.440
<v Speaker 10>dollars will do for you.

683
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.840
<v Speaker 1>And here's the thing. It's not that she's bring It's

684
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:43.159
<v Speaker 1>not the most insane thing she's ever said. Right, she's

685
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:45.559
<v Speaker 1>doing it from a parson standpoint. But as soon as

686
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you turn to me after just glorifying the twelve hundred dollars,

687
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:54.760
<v Speaker 1>which was rot with all sorts of fraud, which probably

688
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:57.280
<v Speaker 1>nobody will be punning. I know that they got some folks,

689
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:01.239
<v Speaker 1>but nobody really up there that facilitated this. Nothing's going

690
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:05.599
<v Speaker 1>to happen. That being said, you tell people that five

691
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:08.480
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars won't do anything for them, and I don't

692
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:10.239
<v Speaker 1>know that that's going to be a winning message for

693
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you if you want to talk about the complexities of

694
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what, maybe we should spend that money on.

695
00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:18.880
<v Speaker 1>But that's not what she's advocating. And for you to

696
00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 1>say this is not what we do, it is what

697
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you do. It is literally what democrats do. Hey, yeah,

698
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.440
<v Speaker 1>student loans, you don't want to pay those, vote for us.

699
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:31.079
<v Speaker 3>I know it's silly, but five thousand dollars to a

700
00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:34.039
<v Speaker 3>lot of people, it's like life changing, absolutely, like it's

701
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:36.519
<v Speaker 3>except it's not really usually, but you know what it

702
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:38.480
<v Speaker 3>can't be if you're responsible with your money, like to

703
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:40.880
<v Speaker 3>have that in the bank. It's a feeling of security,

704
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:42.800
<v Speaker 3>even if it is sort of an illusion, like mentally,

705
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:44.440
<v Speaker 3>it's like a big deal, like it can be life

706
00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:46.239
<v Speaker 3>changing where you're not stressing as much. But if I

707
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:48.320
<v Speaker 3>had to choose between the five thousand dollars from nodes

708
00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:51.360
<v Speaker 3>or whatever, or like say, abolishing the income tax, I

709
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:53.920
<v Speaker 3>would in the irs, I would choose abolishing the income

710
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:57.000
<v Speaker 3>tax and the irs, and that is something. Listen, if

711
00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.000
<v Speaker 3>you take the average person who doesn't pay any attention

712
00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:01.679
<v Speaker 3>to politics and suddenly they're looking at their paycheck and

713
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:04.039
<v Speaker 3>that income tax is gone, that's going to make a

714
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:06.239
<v Speaker 3>big impact in difference. Like that is something people are

715
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:08.719
<v Speaker 3>gonna notice. And then if you have another administration come in,

716
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:10.760
<v Speaker 3>say the Democrats win the White House and they come

717
00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:12.400
<v Speaker 3>back in and they say, you know, we're going to

718
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:14.199
<v Speaker 3>try to put that all back in and take that

719
00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:16.199
<v Speaker 3>money away from you. How do you think that's gonna go?

720
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, that's it. That's why. That's the whole thing

721
00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:22.119
<v Speaker 1>where once you've put something in, it's almost impossible to

722
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:24.800
<v Speaker 1>get rid of it because then the other side, the

723
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:27.159
<v Speaker 1>opponents just go, oh, you want to steal.

724
00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:29.119
<v Speaker 3>This from Yeah, people will be rioting in the streets

725
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:30.960
<v Speaker 3>be like, no, I have this money and now you're

726
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:33.119
<v Speaker 3>taking it all back away from me, Like that's kafe

727
00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:33.679
<v Speaker 3>changing for me.

728
00:41:33.719 --> 00:41:36.519
<v Speaker 1>So it appeals to the highest common denominator like people

729
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:38.320
<v Speaker 1>who may get it and are running the math on

730
00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:40.079
<v Speaker 1>the end, but it also appeals to it and I

731
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:43.239
<v Speaker 1>don't mean this in a negative way. The least the

732
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:45.679
<v Speaker 1>people who are at least plugged into the whole process,

733
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:49.000
<v Speaker 1>who are just looking at those dollars, right, Yeah, And

734
00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:51.119
<v Speaker 1>that's the difference when they're there or when they're not.

735
00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:53.159
<v Speaker 3>And actually being able to save money for once, like

736
00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:55.559
<v Speaker 3>put money in the bank. Because there are people that

737
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:57.599
<v Speaker 3>do have Listen, there are people that no matter what

738
00:41:57.639 --> 00:41:59.239
<v Speaker 3>you give them, right, you see this with the lottery

739
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:00.840
<v Speaker 3>all the time, the money's going to go through the

740
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:02.280
<v Speaker 3>fingers and they're not gonna be able to save or

741
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:03.840
<v Speaker 3>make anything from it. But there are a lot of

742
00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:05.719
<v Speaker 3>people that do want to be responsible and they do

743
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:07.800
<v Speaker 3>want to save, but they can't in the under the

744
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:10.239
<v Speaker 3>current system, it's almost impossible to save money.

745
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:14.559
<v Speaker 1>So now, and and and the other thing is too,

746
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:17.880
<v Speaker 1>what is that due to prices? You can't Again, this

747
00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:21.079
<v Speaker 1>is why you have to think all this stuff out.

748
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:25.360
<v Speaker 1>What does that due to prices? If everybody now has

749
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:29.320
<v Speaker 1>what is the what's the mean average actual paid tax rates?

750
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:33.079
<v Speaker 1>Still it's always around eighteen percent. We and people this

751
00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:35.559
<v Speaker 1>is what people don't understand. I see them posting memes

752
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:37.719
<v Speaker 1>like we need to go back to the nineteen forties

753
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>when the marginal tax rate for top earners was ninety percent.

754
00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Nobody paid that even then. Even then, through the various

755
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:49.639
<v Speaker 1>laws and loopholes and ride offs and everything. It's still around.

756
00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:53.599
<v Speaker 1>It always is around eighteen percent. We don't get away

757
00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:58.360
<v Speaker 1>from it. So let's call it twenty percent for you know,

758
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:02.840
<v Speaker 1>something to do twenty percent, you get twenty percent more

759
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:07.360
<v Speaker 1>spending power instantly. What does that do to prices? Now?

760
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:09.679
<v Speaker 1>People go, well, it shouldn't affect it because it's with

761
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the bs. You know, that's not how the markets work.

762
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:17.039
<v Speaker 1>What does that do. Let's say they chew up half

763
00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:21.000
<v Speaker 1>of it, so everything's ten percent more. But it's a

764
00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:25.239
<v Speaker 1>readjustment to everything going on in the economy. Man, to

765
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:29.360
<v Speaker 1>readjustment to a lot of things. It also would adjust

766
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:35.719
<v Speaker 1>how you negotiate with your employer. So you got to

767
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:39.400
<v Speaker 1>get this stuff right. But any transition, it's going to

768
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:42.119
<v Speaker 1>get ugly. And that's because you're going to have people

769
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that are throwing stuff out. Who was the Florida congressman?

770
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:45.400
<v Speaker 4>What was he for?

771
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, he posted this yesterday. This is how blatantly

772
00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:52.079
<v Speaker 1>they're willing to lie to you. So he posteddic what

773
00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:55.159
<v Speaker 1>is the rationale other than making life more difficult for seniors?

774
00:43:55.159 --> 00:43:57.599
<v Speaker 1>And he posted this little graphic and it says Medicare

775
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:01.159
<v Speaker 1>will no longer cover telehealth services as of April first,

776
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:04.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, and he posts that out there and

777
00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:06.239
<v Speaker 1>people look at that, They're like, oh my god, Trump's

778
00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:11.360
<v Speaker 1>cutting telehealth for seniors. Some senior and needs medical cares

779
00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:14.559
<v Speaker 1>in their home and they can't access telehealth because Trump's cuts. No,

780
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:19.079
<v Speaker 1>this is a blatant lie. The telehealth services are an

781
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:23.239
<v Speaker 1>expanded version of it, which you can argue should be permanent,

782
00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:28.360
<v Speaker 1>but are not. In fact. Rokanna, the congressman from Florida,

783
00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:31.880
<v Speaker 1>knows this. Why because he was one of the people

784
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:35.440
<v Speaker 1>who voted for the bill that literally sunset this March

785
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:39.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty first. He voted for a bill that would stop

786
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:43.440
<v Speaker 1>this March thirty first, and he knows that, but he

787
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:45.239
<v Speaker 1>put this out anyway. And I'm glad to see this

788
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:50.679
<v Speaker 1>in community notes that have finally attached to this. This

789
00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:53.639
<v Speaker 1>was expanded. This was part of the American Relief Act.

790
00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Kanna voted for it. Everybody knows this. Trump isn't He

791
00:44:57.599 --> 00:44:58.679
<v Speaker 1>hasn't touched any of this.

792
00:44:59.280 --> 00:44:59.880
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't have to.

793
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.480
<v Speaker 1>It's it's going by by all on its own, and

794
00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:06.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not all of telehealth. There's still lots of telehealth

795
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that's available where it makes sense. This was a much

796
00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:12.880
<v Speaker 1>more expanded version, and a version I might add that's

797
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:15.119
<v Speaker 1>not being utilized in the same way that it was

798
00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:19.519
<v Speaker 1>because seniors have a lot of time, they're willing to

799
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:21.880
<v Speaker 1>slept down, and they want to see an actual doctor,

800
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:25.800
<v Speaker 1>especially if you're an older person. This is not how

801
00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you think medicine happens, some of it. Yeah, but you

802
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:32.760
<v Speaker 1>want to be able to show the doctor that weird

803
00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:38.119
<v Speaker 1>thing on your leg? What is that? Even so, they're

804
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:41.800
<v Speaker 1>going to throw everything they can think of in this

805
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:44.159
<v Speaker 1>direction to the freak out if that's what they're good

806
00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:46.360
<v Speaker 1>they're going after. This is going to be a huge hole.

807
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:48.320
<v Speaker 3>I can't even imagine the freak out on the left

808
00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:51.599
<v Speaker 3>if that were to happen, Like, I can't even because

809
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:53.639
<v Speaker 3>and the reason for the freak out would be the

810
00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:57.880
<v Speaker 3>party cannot survive without that revenue. They need those programs

811
00:45:57.920 --> 00:45:59.719
<v Speaker 3>to survive and especial that control.

812
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you have to force people to adopt You're insane thing.

813
00:46:03.679 --> 00:46:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Right, and especially like the people that you're saying you're

814
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:09.400
<v Speaker 3>trying to help with your programs, which are not right,

815
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:12.360
<v Speaker 3>You're just putting them in an endless cycle of being

816
00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:15.519
<v Speaker 3>dependent upon you. The people suddenly that you apparently are

817
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:17.320
<v Speaker 3>trying to help, are going to see all this extra

818
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:19.199
<v Speaker 3>income and they'll be like, wow, this is actually the

819
00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:22.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't need eighteen dollars an hour. You know, you

820
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:24.320
<v Speaker 3>don't need to raise the minimum wage now because now

821
00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:26.000
<v Speaker 3>I can survive on what I'm making because you're not

822
00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:26.800
<v Speaker 3>taking most of it.

823
00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Well at first, again, you get the right size of

824
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:34.119
<v Speaker 1>the economy because businesses out you don't have to call

825
00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:38.360
<v Speaker 1>agreed businesses out there are going to with while they

826
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:42.960
<v Speaker 1>won't be as negatively impacted by the salary requirements, there's

827
00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:45.280
<v Speaker 1>always the part where consumers there's going to be a

828
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:49.119
<v Speaker 1>number where enough consumers will pay that versus won't, and

829
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:52.039
<v Speaker 1>that's where you have to get your pricing right. And

830
00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:57.639
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, yeah, you know, eventually a lot of uncomfortable

831
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:00.880
<v Speaker 1>conversations come up, but once you're in the thing, it's

832
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:04.920
<v Speaker 1>really hard to get out of the thing. And to

833
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Ross's points, that's where they would then have to go, Yeah,

834
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:09.880
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna you know, that money that you just all

835
00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:11.719
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden have and now you're spending, whether it's

836
00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:15.320
<v Speaker 1>on stupid stuff or smart stuff, Yeah, we're gonna need that. Again,

837
00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:19.239
<v Speaker 1>It's like, well, hold on the tariff's not bringing the money,

838
00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:21.239
<v Speaker 1>or they're not people who want to do business here

839
00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:24.480
<v Speaker 1>in the US because I see all the products there. Well,

840
00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:25.880
<v Speaker 1>that's not the right way to do it. And then

841
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:28.400
<v Speaker 1>they have to make that argument again, and they can't

842
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:32.119
<v Speaker 1>use postwar rebuilding to essentially do that transition so that

843
00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:36.559
<v Speaker 1>people don't line about it because everything's so great, which

844
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:39.840
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of what was accomplished. All right, well,

845
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that's not the only legislative news. Apparently some people are

846
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:46.519
<v Speaker 1>surprised that a member of the Senate's not running again. Okay,

847
00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:49.079
<v Speaker 1>all right, we'll get to that. Pete Counter will join

848
00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:52.480
<v Speaker 1>us at eight oh five, and oh so much more

849
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:56.960
<v Speaker 1>coming up here on the Cacoday Radio program. The amount

850
00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:01.199
<v Speaker 1>of articles news articles over the life last month basically

851
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:04.719
<v Speaker 1>it's been what a month, right was it twenty first today? Yeah,

852
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:09.880
<v Speaker 1>but a month. I read them and I'll see like

853
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:12.679
<v Speaker 1>a screenshot or something like in a tweet, or they'll

854
00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:14.360
<v Speaker 1>put a quote in there and I'm like, that's not

855
00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:17.280
<v Speaker 1>let's end the article. That's an onion article. And then

856
00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll read it and I'm like, oh my gosh, that's real.

857
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:23.000
<v Speaker 1>And then you have to figure out, well, what was

858
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.639
<v Speaker 1>the point you were trying to make What what were

859
00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you doing here? So the Washington Post ran an article

860
00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:36.320
<v Speaker 1>yesterday long lines and canceled rentals, firings, bring blah blah blah. Anyway,

861
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:39.199
<v Speaker 1>So basically what they did is they went around through

862
00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the National park system and also for a service, and

863
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:49.000
<v Speaker 1>they highlighted not just you know, numbers like one hundred

864
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:54.239
<v Speaker 1>park rangers or fifty smoke jumpers or any They they

865
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:57.880
<v Speaker 1>went and they on a in a individual level. They

866
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:02.280
<v Speaker 1>wanted to humanize in personal lies, people who may be

867
00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:08.119
<v Speaker 1>impacted by these cuts. And then they wrote this down.

868
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:11.239
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, I don't have beef with this dude,

869
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:14.760
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, I actually kind of understand that you probably

870
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:17.800
<v Speaker 1>want somebody who's in charge of this part of things

871
00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:22.079
<v Speaker 1>for the Park Service. The problem is apparently he's the

872
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:25.000
<v Speaker 1>only dude. So I'm gonna read this verbatim so you

873
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:28.519
<v Speaker 1>don't think that I'm juicing this article. You ready. At

874
00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:33.760
<v Speaker 1>California's Yosemite National Park, the Trump administration fired the only

875
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:40.599
<v Speaker 1>locksmith on staff on Friday. He is the sole employee

876
00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:46.039
<v Speaker 1>with the keys and the institutional knowledge needed to rescue

877
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:53.199
<v Speaker 1>visitors from locked restrooms and I don't want to limit

878
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:54.960
<v Speaker 1>because he does more than that. I'm gonna read some

879
00:49:55.880 --> 00:49:59.079
<v Speaker 1>is that a problem. I've been to Yosemite. I think

880
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I use the bathroom there, I don't think I almost

881
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:08.840
<v Speaker 1>locked myself in it. And I've used a lot of backcountry,

882
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:11.199
<v Speaker 1>you know what you would call backcountry, which is an

883
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:16.599
<v Speaker 1>actual designation for various Forest Service cabins. Right. I've been

884
00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:21.239
<v Speaker 1>privileged enough because my uncle was He was a criminal

885
00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:25.400
<v Speaker 1>investigator for Yellowstone Park, so I, as a kid, got

886
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to stay in one of those backcountry cabins the Yellowstone

887
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:30.360
<v Speaker 1>is known for that the rangers use, and they have

888
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:33.440
<v Speaker 1>these amazing log books, kind of like if you hike

889
00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:35.639
<v Speaker 1>the app trail right, and you can see all the

890
00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:38.480
<v Speaker 1>people that went through there. I've stayed. I've stayed in

891
00:50:38.519 --> 00:50:43.280
<v Speaker 1>a backcountry cabin there that literally a vice president of

892
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the United States was in there. I can't remember which

893
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:48.119
<v Speaker 1>one it was who had stayed there. And there you

894
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:50.360
<v Speaker 1>go and you find his paragraph and his signature. It's

895
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:54.199
<v Speaker 1>so cool. Man. But I don't think my uncle Brian's

896
00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:57.440
<v Speaker 1>alone with the keys, so I don't know what's all

897
00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:01.079
<v Speaker 1>on this. But so you're the key master, bro, Like,

898
00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:03.679
<v Speaker 1>do we have a Goser. Is there a Gozer Ross?

899
00:51:03.679 --> 00:51:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Do we know who Gozer is for the National Park Service?

900
00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Because we should figure out because the key master and

901
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Goeser get together, some stuff's going down. I don't know

902
00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:17.599
<v Speaker 1>if y'all know this. There is a concept in business,

903
00:51:18.840 --> 00:51:20.719
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know if this is the technical name,

904
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:24.239
<v Speaker 1>but you'll quickly realize what it is. And it's the

905
00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:26.719
<v Speaker 1>hit by a bus thing, all right, the hit by

906
00:51:26.719 --> 00:51:29.400
<v Speaker 1>a bus theory, paradigm, whatever you want to call it,

907
00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:32.440
<v Speaker 1>And it goes like this. If you run a business,

908
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and a government is a business. National parks are a business.

909
00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:39.679
<v Speaker 1>iHeartMedia is the business. Right, that's the business. Ross and

910
00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:43.000
<v Speaker 1>hire in the business that you're going to this morning,

911
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:45.239
<v Speaker 1>whether you own the business or you work at the business, whatever,

912
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:50.840
<v Speaker 1>that's a business. One of the things that structurally is

913
00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:56.440
<v Speaker 1>problematic is to create an environment where a necessary and

914
00:51:56.559 --> 00:51:59.079
<v Speaker 1>bathrooms I guess are kind of necessary, especially if people

915
00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:02.679
<v Speaker 1>are trapped in them, but a necessary component, even one

916
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that seems a bit innocuous, is only doable by one person,

917
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:12.679
<v Speaker 1>is a really bad idea because what happens, ready if

918
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:14.760
<v Speaker 1>they get hit by a bus. I don't know what

919
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:16.760
<v Speaker 1>the buses did, but the buses are doing the heavy

920
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:20.199
<v Speaker 1>lifting here. So if Bob is the only guy who

921
00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:23.199
<v Speaker 1>can do this thing, and if this thing isn't done,

922
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:26.199
<v Speaker 1>all of your other stuff, even your more skilled workers

923
00:52:26.199 --> 00:52:29.119
<v Speaker 1>and everything else grinds to a halt because Bob got

924
00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:33.039
<v Speaker 1>hit by a bus. You don't do that. And anyone

925
00:52:33.079 --> 00:52:37.079
<v Speaker 1>who's ever run a business knows this, knows that in perils.

926
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:42.519
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I'll give you an example with us, when

927
00:52:42.599 --> 00:52:46.000
<v Speaker 1>we transition employees and there's not somebody else in the

928
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:48.760
<v Speaker 1>building who knows how to run the board for this show.

929
00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:53.880
<v Speaker 1>That weighs heavily on my mind because Ross might get

930
00:52:53.960 --> 00:53:01.039
<v Speaker 1>hit by a bus.

931
00:52:58.039 --> 00:52:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Throne or who the hell knows that a lot of

932
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:02.480
<v Speaker 3>people don't understand, and like, you see this sometimes and

933
00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:05.400
<v Speaker 3>we have to take days off and people are like,

934
00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:07.480
<v Speaker 3>if I'm sick, there's not going to be a show

935
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:09.639
<v Speaker 3>because there's no one else that can do this job.

936
00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:13.920
<v Speaker 3>And it's happened, It's happened before, and you're like, well,

937
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:15.519
<v Speaker 3>why isn't there a best you know, how come you

938
00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:16.760
<v Speaker 3>don't have like a fill in host? You can have

939
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:18.519
<v Speaker 3>like a filling host instead of like a you know,

940
00:53:18.599 --> 00:53:22.480
<v Speaker 3>running melle and not how that works it's because there's

941
00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:25.199
<v Speaker 3>if I'm not here, it cannot be done.

942
00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:28.880
<v Speaker 1>He's a magician. Now, it's not to say that he

943
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:31.440
<v Speaker 1>can't the people. You know, people remember the days of

944
00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Brian the bad board op and port driver having to

945
00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:35.719
<v Speaker 1>come in here and all that. But but what I'm

946
00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:40.280
<v Speaker 1>saying is it's a situation that is easily identifiable, and

947
00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:44.280
<v Speaker 1>so it makes good business sense to make sure that

948
00:53:44.639 --> 00:53:47.440
<v Speaker 1>more than one person can do it. So the if

949
00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a person's hit by a bus, so if you only

950
00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:53.239
<v Speaker 1>have one person and I'm gonna read the they're gonna

951
00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:56.159
<v Speaker 1>read the second part of this. This is literally the

952
00:53:56.280 --> 00:54:00.400
<v Speaker 1>quote from the dude. He goes, we have Federal Court

953
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Administrative Building's toilets, closets, gun saves. A guy's name is

954
00:54:05.079 --> 00:54:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Vince by the way, which sounds like the dude who's

955
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the key master.

956
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you should be vince Y.

957
00:54:10.679 --> 00:54:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

958
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And again, I got no beef with Vince and

959
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:16.039
<v Speaker 1>I I I understand what he's saying. Uh and and

960
00:54:16.039 --> 00:54:18.159
<v Speaker 1>and quite frankly, I think that one of the things

961
00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:20.360
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna you're gonna see some course correcting and some

962
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:24.360
<v Speaker 1>of what is happening here, because it really is uh,

963
00:54:24.840 --> 00:54:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's buckshot at this point with a modified choke,

964
00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:32.519
<v Speaker 1>and and you got to right size it. But uh so,

965
00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Vince says, quote, we have all these things. We have

966
00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:38.679
<v Speaker 1>endless things that need to be secured in various forms,

967
00:54:38.719 --> 00:54:41.159
<v Speaker 1>And I am the sole keeper of the keys, the

968
00:54:41.159 --> 00:54:43.679
<v Speaker 1>one that makes the keys, the one that fixes the locks,

969
00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:46.639
<v Speaker 1>installs the locks, and has all that knowledge of the

970
00:54:46.719 --> 00:54:52.599
<v Speaker 1>security behind the park. It's a critical role. Again, Like

971
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:55.760
<v Speaker 1>it makes that that logistically makes sense. You got to

972
00:54:55.800 --> 00:54:58.280
<v Speaker 1>have somebody who understands because there's a lot of stuff

973
00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:01.440
<v Speaker 1>you got to lock up and unlock, and early idiots

974
00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:06.119
<v Speaker 1>locked themselves in bathrooms shouldn't do that. That being said,

975
00:55:07.079 --> 00:55:10.079
<v Speaker 1>having one dude, that first line reads like he's about

976
00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:13.159
<v Speaker 1>to give you a quest. Right, He's like some character

977
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:15.599
<v Speaker 1>in Ross's video game you just clicked on. He's like,

978
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:18.039
<v Speaker 1>we have endless things that need to be secured. I

979
00:55:18.079 --> 00:55:19.679
<v Speaker 1>am the sole keeper of the keys.

980
00:55:20.159 --> 00:55:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Right.

981
00:55:20.719 --> 00:55:23.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a dude you're spending man on. Right, he came

982
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:25.719
<v Speaker 1>across that guy in a video game. That's the guy

983
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:27.239
<v Speaker 1>who gives you the next thing.

984
00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Right something cool. Yeah, yeah, I'm the sole keeper the

985
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:32.800
<v Speaker 3>magic rings or something. Yeah, yeah, you're getting.

986
00:55:32.519 --> 00:55:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Some for your effort. Oh, you gotta slay this thing.

987
00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:36.599
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'll go slay this thing. What do I get? Oh,

988
00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it's part of an armor build. I'm on it. Let's

989
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:39.199
<v Speaker 1>do it.

990
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:41.199
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know if you ever play the game

991
00:55:41.239 --> 00:55:43.199
<v Speaker 3>like that where you accidentally, like you know, in the

992
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:45.119
<v Speaker 3>video game, not in real life. I don't want what's

993
00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:45.920
<v Speaker 3>his name, Vince?

994
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:46.599
<v Speaker 1>Vince.

995
00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't want anything tragic to happen Evince. But

996
00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:51.760
<v Speaker 3>like in a video game, if you accidentally murder said person,

997
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:55.159
<v Speaker 3>you can completely destroy your playthrough because now you're screwed.

998
00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you gotta go back to your save point and

999
00:55:57.920 --> 00:56:00.719
<v Speaker 1>start that thing again. And then just because you're obstinate,

1000
00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:05.639
<v Speaker 1>you kill Vince again. Right, because you're an a hole. Again,

1001
00:56:05.679 --> 00:56:09.880
<v Speaker 1>we're in video game mode, right, I want those keys.

1002
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:11.519
<v Speaker 1>Go on, man, I don't have to go over the

1003
00:56:11.559 --> 00:56:13.280
<v Speaker 1>other thing all the way over there and do that

1004
00:56:13.400 --> 00:56:18.079
<v Speaker 1>just for the thing. Give me the thing. So yeah,

1005
00:56:18.159 --> 00:56:20.599
<v Speaker 1>so again I need to know who goes Er is,

1006
00:56:20.639 --> 00:56:24.599
<v Speaker 1>so those two don't get together. But also I don't

1007
00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:27.079
<v Speaker 1>think that's the win. You thought it was, Washington Post,

1008
00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:30.639
<v Speaker 1>What the hell are you talking about? Oh, here's what

1009
00:56:30.760 --> 00:56:33.199
<v Speaker 1>I know. It's way too dangerous to go questing for

1010
00:56:33.320 --> 00:56:35.199
<v Speaker 1>keys though, because then you have to go out on

1011
00:56:35.239 --> 00:56:38.039
<v Speaker 1>the roads. And I was looking at a roadmap yesterday

1012
00:56:38.039 --> 00:56:41.239
<v Speaker 1>of like all the winter accidents and various fun stuff,

1013
00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:45.760
<v Speaker 1>and it was a layover of the triangle and they

1014
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:47.519
<v Speaker 1>put up these little on rio. They put up these

1015
00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:50.800
<v Speaker 1>little orange cones, but they're kind of brown. And when

1016
00:56:50.840 --> 00:56:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you looked at the map, and I sent this to Ross,

1017
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:56.320
<v Speaker 1>it looks like the poop map from San Francisco. That's

1018
00:56:56.360 --> 00:57:01.440
<v Speaker 1>how badly y'all were driving yesterday. I know raced age

1019
00:57:02.039 --> 00:57:05.599
<v Speaker 1>to blame for this, but yeah, you didn't have to

1020
00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:08.800
<v Speaker 1>go out and prove him right. I did it right, dude,

1021
00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:10.559
<v Speaker 1>that was crazy. I look at this map, I'm like,

1022
00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:13.559
<v Speaker 1>where should you not go? Everywhere? You should not drive everywhere?

1023
00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:15.760
<v Speaker 1>So and it looked like the San Francis. Do you

1024
00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:17.599
<v Speaker 1>ever see the map where they were charting the San

1025
00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Francisco poop incidents and the whole city was just brown? No,

1026
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:27.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm gladly I missed that one indistinguishable. Yeah, and who knows,

1027
00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:30.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe they were pooping in the in people's where the

1028
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:31.719
<v Speaker 1>snow is and that's what the acts.

1029
00:57:32.079 --> 00:57:32.480
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.

1030
00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:35.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, so could you make this not a

1031
00:57:35.079 --> 00:57:36.679
<v Speaker 1>thing anymore though, that'd be great.

1032
00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:41.360
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, this morning it sounds and looks like there's still uh,

1033
00:57:41.400 --> 00:57:46.400
<v Speaker 7>some problems with with ice with a weather advisory that

1034
00:57:46.440 --> 00:57:49.039
<v Speaker 7>it's just for that reason. There's nothing coming out of

1035
00:57:49.039 --> 00:57:50.960
<v Speaker 7>the sky. It's already from the damage done, especially as

1036
00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:53.920
<v Speaker 7>you go north northeast where some of the heavier snow fell.

1037
00:57:54.639 --> 00:57:57.519
<v Speaker 7>But better day's case are ahead. Low forties today, teens.

1038
00:57:57.519 --> 00:58:00.800
<v Speaker 7>Tonight's another cold night, A lots of sunshine around though today,

1039
00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:03.440
<v Speaker 7>so anything that's left probably goes away.

1040
00:58:03.519 --> 00:58:04.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

1041
00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:07.159
<v Speaker 7>Maybe there'll be another refreeze tonight. I hope not. But

1042
00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:09.559
<v Speaker 7>some of those side streets and shaded areas that had

1043
00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:12.280
<v Speaker 7>snow sometimes that snow doesn't go away even with forty

1044
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:14.679
<v Speaker 7>degree temperatures. If you had a couple of inches, load

1045
00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:17.480
<v Speaker 7>of mid forties tomorrow with increasing clouds on Sunday, we'll

1046
00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:19.880
<v Speaker 7>get into the fifties. Sixties next week through midwek Next

1047
00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:23.880
<v Speaker 7>week actually looks real nice, probably on either side of

1048
00:58:23.920 --> 00:58:26.440
<v Speaker 7>sixty Monday, load of mid sixties on Tuesday and Wednesday,

1049
00:58:26.480 --> 00:58:27.519
<v Speaker 7>with plenty of sunshine.

1050
00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:28.119
<v Speaker 3>Late week.

1051
00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:30.039
<v Speaker 7>There's another front coming in, so we'll worry about that

1052
00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:32.559
<v Speaker 7>next week, but right now everything looking good.

1053
00:58:32.599 --> 00:58:32.880
<v Speaker 4>Stuff.

1054
00:58:32.960 --> 00:58:35.880
<v Speaker 7>Dealing with some icy spots this morning and maybe again

1057
00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:44.719
<v Speaker 7>So looking better, feeling better too.

1058
00:58:44.840 --> 00:58:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Right there you go. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

<v Speaker 1>All right, exactly, yeah, appreciate it, all right, Race agic

1061
00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:58.119
<v Speaker 3>Harboringer just sent me a text message. He says, the

1062
00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:00.320
<v Speaker 3>obvious solution is the fire old the busters.

1063
00:59:02.360 --> 00:59:06.159
<v Speaker 1>What what oh? Oh, I see what you did there? Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>on this, right, dude, This is this is what I'm

1066
00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:14.599
<v Speaker 1>talking about. You gotta have It feels good to go

1067
00:59:14.639 --> 00:59:18.000
<v Speaker 1>in and just swing the wrecking ball, but you gotta

1068
00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:21.840
<v Speaker 1>know what you're doing, or you know, stave Puff Marshmallow

1069
00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:24.000
<v Speaker 1>or or the dude in the painting. You don't want

1070
00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:26.639
<v Speaker 1>any of this. Vigo. You don't want Vigo. All right,

1071
00:59:26.679 --> 00:59:29.440
<v Speaker 1>hang on, we'll be back. That was the Trump said, Hey,

1072
00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:33.639
<v Speaker 1>if you don't release the hostages by Saturday, everything's on

1073
00:59:33.679 --> 00:59:37.239
<v Speaker 1>the table. We talked to Senator bud about it, and

1074
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:41.480
<v Speaker 1>they really didn't get into it. However, however, because they

1075
00:59:41.519 --> 00:59:45.360
<v Speaker 1>did at least say that they had a process for

1076
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the release. Here we found out what we assumed was

1077
00:59:48.519 --> 00:59:51.440
<v Speaker 1>the case. In this case, the woman with her two

1078
00:59:51.559 --> 00:59:55.440
<v Speaker 1>kids is dead, and a lot of people speculated that,

1079
00:59:57.039 --> 00:59:59.519
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know, did you guys see any of

1080
00:59:59.559 --> 01:00:02.519
<v Speaker 1>the and over ceremony. I didn't want to call it

1081
01:00:02.599 --> 01:00:07.519
<v Speaker 1>that because a ceremony would imbue some sort of respectfulness

1082
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:13.639
<v Speaker 1>and somber moments, and it wasn't any of that. They

1083
01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>had a damn pep rally. So Hamas had a pep

1084
01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>rally complete with like a parade. They had people with

1085
01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>flags who were cheering, They had a bunch of music,

1086
01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:32.239
<v Speaker 1>and then they were offloading these coffins of these individuals.

1087
01:00:32.280 --> 01:00:35.039
<v Speaker 1>And then we found out and it's now confirmed. I

1088
01:00:35.079 --> 01:00:37.239
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make sure it was confirmed before I got

1089
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>into this. One of them wasn't even the hostage in

1090
01:00:41.960 --> 01:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>this case, I guess the mother there with the two kids.

1091
01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:51.039
<v Speaker 1>According to authorities, they believe it to be a random

1092
01:00:51.039 --> 01:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>gossen woman, which now I'm wondering they just have a

1093
01:00:54.440 --> 01:00:56.679
<v Speaker 1>body or they go grease somebody, like, ah, we need

1094
01:00:56.679 --> 01:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>a body, let's go and get in here about the

1095
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>right size. The amount of disrespect that was going on

1096
01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:07.519
<v Speaker 1>during that whole thing was to send a message. Then

1097
01:01:07.599 --> 01:01:10.599
<v Speaker 1>you had a in Tel Aviv, you had a bombing there,

1098
01:01:11.599 --> 01:01:13.599
<v Speaker 1>and then they found out that they're just giving you

1099
01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:18.599
<v Speaker 1>random bodies man like, don't I don't understand the endgame.

1100
01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that Trump gives zero f's? Do you

1101
01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>think the Israelis give zero fs about coming in there

1102
01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>and just turning it into the uh, you know, the

1103
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:35.159
<v Speaker 1>New Beachfront destination. Did you see how people reacted to

1104
01:01:35.199 --> 01:01:37.519
<v Speaker 1>it when you were screaming, oh, they're calling for genocide.

1105
01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Do you see how little anybody cared because they're just done?

1106
01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:46.239
<v Speaker 1>You know why, because they see an opportunity for the

1107
01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:49.239
<v Speaker 1>US in their you know, to stand back and the

1108
01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Israelis to do this thing that a lot of people

1109
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>in the Middle East, a lot of people in the world.

1110
01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:57.039
<v Speaker 1>If you got them in a room drunk and they

1111
01:01:57.079 --> 01:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>told them that there was no tape running, right, they'd

1112
01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:06.159
<v Speaker 1>probably go, yeah, it's gonna be for the best. I

1113
01:02:06.199 --> 01:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know that that's necessarily the case. I'm trying to

1114
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:11.239
<v Speaker 1>exude the attitude that people have. That's why people don't

1115
01:02:11.280 --> 01:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>care they're just done. Most of the most of the

1116
01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:17.920
<v Speaker 1>countries in the Middle East want nothing to do with Hamas,

1117
01:02:18.039 --> 01:02:22.159
<v Speaker 1>i e. The Palestinians, but Hamas specifically, because Hamas is

1118
01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:26.599
<v Speaker 1>always growing stuff up. It's like that, you know, it's

1119
01:02:26.639 --> 01:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>like you're you're you're already doing your criminal stuff. And

1120
01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:31.719
<v Speaker 1>you got the guy who's standing out there counting stacks

1121
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:34.519
<v Speaker 1>of hundros smoking a joint outside the gate. When the

1122
01:02:34.519 --> 01:02:36.719
<v Speaker 1>cops drive by, You're like, what is this idiot doing?

1123
01:02:37.960 --> 01:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>That's a mass And so when the world, the world

1124
01:02:42.559 --> 01:02:45.599
<v Speaker 1>collectively didn't go well, wouldn't be the worst idea to

1125
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:48.679
<v Speaker 1>turn that into a beach resort. That gave you no

1126
01:02:48.920 --> 01:02:52.079
<v Speaker 1>pause and you started stuffing random bodies and you had

1127
01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:58.239
<v Speaker 1>a pep rally funeral handover thing. It's gonna get ugly

1128
01:02:58.280 --> 01:03:02.679
<v Speaker 1>over there, and there will be the perfunctory oh how

1129
01:03:02.679 --> 01:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>could this happen? And then you know, oh, let's put

1130
01:03:04.840 --> 01:03:07.599
<v Speaker 1>it with security council. Well, by the way, we said,

1131
01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to be on the security council anymore.

1132
01:03:09.760 --> 01:03:16.199
<v Speaker 1>So did they? Your heavy handedness has led to this,

1133
01:03:16.400 --> 01:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>And secretly they kind of won it. They just won't

1134
01:03:19.800 --> 01:03:26.599
<v Speaker 1>tell you that. And so holding this ceremony again. I

1135
01:03:26.639 --> 01:03:28.519
<v Speaker 1>hate to use that word. The way that you did

1136
01:03:28.599 --> 01:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>yesterday just hastens that. And I don't look forward to it.

1137
01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't look forward to any of it. But the

1138
01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>world's pretty much told you that they think it's kind

1139
01:03:41.000 --> 01:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>of a necessity because you're being an a hole. And

1140
01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>before they would be like, ah, he's an ahole, but

1141
01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:49.719
<v Speaker 1>he's lovable ahole, And now they're just like, he's an

1142
01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:51.559
<v Speaker 1>a hole all the time. Why are you always an

1143
01:03:51.559 --> 01:03:54.719
<v Speaker 1>a hole? I'm gonna go get some coffee. Whatever happens happens.

1144
01:03:54.840 --> 01:03:59.199
<v Speaker 1>That's what's happening right now. And I don't know where

1145
01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>it takes us, but we will. We will find out.

1146
01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>And uh, why anyone's surprised by this, I don't know.

1147
01:04:07.480 --> 01:04:11.079
<v Speaker 11>Seven times a fellow Kentuckians have sent me to the

1148
01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:15.800
<v Speaker 11>Senate every day in between, I've been humbled by the

1149
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:19.079
<v Speaker 11>trust they placed in me. Okay, all right, Mitch, come on,

1150
01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:23.400
<v Speaker 11>you get the business right here?

1151
01:04:27.199 --> 01:04:29.719
<v Speaker 1>You got this? Oh, I accidentally clicked pause.

1152
01:04:29.800 --> 01:04:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Ross.

1153
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:32.039
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't tell that I actually clicked pause because it

1154
01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:38.679
<v Speaker 1>was Mitch McConnell. Sometimes he clicks our commonwealth as the

1155
01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:46.239
<v Speaker 1>honor of the lifetime. Uh, huh oh oh, I accidentally

1156
01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>clicked pause. Again. It's hard because again you can't tell

1157
01:04:48.880 --> 01:04:53.679
<v Speaker 1>if it's him or it's me at the button fingers Eighth,

1158
01:04:54.199 --> 01:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>It is Friday after a beautiful three day week that

1159
01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>then turned into snow. I don't know how bad it

1160
01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>is in Charlotte, but our radio buddy to the South

1161
01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>peek calendar mid days WBTU. All right, are you in

1162
01:05:07.960 --> 01:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>an igloo? What'd you guys get down there?

1163
01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:16.599
<v Speaker 4>We got the normal stuff, you know, some these and

1164
01:05:16.679 --> 01:05:20.800
<v Speaker 4>then satan slushy of like the wintry mix, and then

1165
01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:21.360
<v Speaker 4>it was all.

1166
01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:23.679
<v Speaker 1>The full drove and stuff right, and then.

1167
01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:27.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah it's and you know there there are a

1168
01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:30.880
<v Speaker 4>couple of things like number one, we should not we

1169
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:33.679
<v Speaker 4>should like the South gets ripped on by people who

1170
01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:35.880
<v Speaker 4>are from you know, up north, and they're like, oh,

1171
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:38.000
<v Speaker 4>you guys don't know how to handle this, you know.

1172
01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:44.559
<v Speaker 4>And look, I would oppose any kind of ramping up

1173
01:05:44.679 --> 01:05:48.719
<v Speaker 4>of the purchasing of snowplows and you know, the kind

1174
01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:53.239
<v Speaker 4>of response equipment that the Northeast gets, because we don't

1175
01:05:53.239 --> 01:05:56.239
<v Speaker 4>get this very often. Number one. Number two, this is

1176
01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:59.000
<v Speaker 4>not like what you get up in the Northeast. Okay,

1177
01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:04.119
<v Speaker 4>up there it's snow, and here it's this satan slushie

1178
01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:07.679
<v Speaker 4>of ice and snow and rain and it all gets

1179
01:06:07.719 --> 01:06:09.880
<v Speaker 4>mixed in together and then it all freezes. And no,

1180
01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:13.440
<v Speaker 4>just because you can drive well in the snow doesn't

1181
01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:16.039
<v Speaker 4>mean you can drive well on ice, because nobody can

1182
01:06:16.119 --> 01:06:19.920
<v Speaker 4>drive well on ice except Zamboni's that's it. So no,

1183
01:06:20.039 --> 01:06:22.000
<v Speaker 4>you're not. You're not superior to.

1184
01:06:21.920 --> 01:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Good Like I'm good. Yeah, I'm pretty good, though, you're pretty.

1185
01:06:25.639 --> 01:06:28.320
<v Speaker 4>Good on ice. But he got skates or butt skates

1186
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:30.519
<v Speaker 4>or something on the.

1187
01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:33.079
<v Speaker 1>I used to have studded tires that I put on

1188
01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>in the winter, right, like that was real deal stuff.

1189
01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>And I agree with you, we don't need to go

1190
01:06:37.039 --> 01:06:40.559
<v Speaker 1>knocking this stuff out. But I saw a I saw

1191
01:06:40.679 --> 01:06:45.840
<v Speaker 1>like a map of all of the different accidents yesterday

1192
01:06:45.880 --> 01:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>around the Triangle, and I had like a little orange

1193
01:06:48.960 --> 01:06:51.840
<v Speaker 1>brown cone for it, and I thought I was looking

1194
01:06:51.880 --> 01:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>at the San Francisco poop map. You ever see the

1195
01:06:54.639 --> 01:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco poop map? Right, somebody mapped all the poops

1196
01:06:59.119 --> 01:07:03.199
<v Speaker 1>and that's that was essentially the roads around the Triangle yesterday.

1197
01:07:03.199 --> 01:07:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Because people are dumb.

1198
01:07:05.159 --> 01:07:07.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, yes, I mean, okay, of course people are dumb.

1199
01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:12.559
<v Speaker 4>But also this idea like only Southerners are getting in

1200
01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:16.559
<v Speaker 4>accidents in these ice storms is absurd. How many of

1201
01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:19.679
<v Speaker 4>these people are coming, for example, you know from up

1202
01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:23.000
<v Speaker 4>north or out west. They don't have experience driving in

1203
01:07:23.039 --> 01:07:26.400
<v Speaker 4>these icy conditions. And so like we just like what

1204
01:07:26.440 --> 01:07:28.480
<v Speaker 4>I learned, and I'm originally from New York, so I

1205
01:07:28.960 --> 01:07:30.880
<v Speaker 4>can trash all of the people who come down here,

1206
01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:33.000
<v Speaker 4>like I drove so much better up there. I first

1207
01:07:33.039 --> 01:07:36.320
<v Speaker 4>learned to drive. My first driving experience after I got

1208
01:07:36.360 --> 01:07:39.800
<v Speaker 4>my learner's permit was in an icy parking lot. You

1209
01:07:39.960 --> 01:07:41.800
<v Speaker 4>and I can tell you, like, unless you've got the

1210
01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:45.119
<v Speaker 4>studded tires, there's nothing really you can do when your

1211
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:48.159
<v Speaker 4>car hits ice except to, you know, wait for the

1212
01:07:48.239 --> 01:07:51.039
<v Speaker 4>skid to end, basically. And a lot of people come

1213
01:07:51.079 --> 01:07:54.639
<v Speaker 4>down here and they drive like it's snow and then

1214
01:07:54.760 --> 01:07:58.440
<v Speaker 4>they get into accidents too. So there's a reason why

1215
01:07:58.480 --> 01:08:00.880
<v Speaker 4>when the ice starts coming down, people are like, you

1216
01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:03.320
<v Speaker 4>know what, let's just take the day off and that's okay,

1217
01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:05.840
<v Speaker 4>Like that's all right to take the day off and say, hey,

1218
01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:08.119
<v Speaker 4>you know what, mother nature wants us to work from

1219
01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:08.679
<v Speaker 4>home today.

1220
01:08:09.079 --> 01:08:12.239
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, it also would probably eliminate the

1221
01:08:12.280 --> 01:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>possibility of Gozer teaming up with the key Master and

1222
01:08:16.079 --> 01:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>unleashing all the healthscape in the sewers of New York. Yeah,

1223
01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:25.239
<v Speaker 1>the key Master, which was until recently apparently a dude

1224
01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:28.439
<v Speaker 1>who worked at Yosemite. How many people are locking that?

1225
01:08:28.479 --> 01:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>We were just talking about this, so the audience is

1226
01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>up on this. How many I grew up next to

1227
01:08:34.159 --> 01:08:36.479
<v Speaker 1>a national park. You might have heard of You ever

1228
01:08:36.520 --> 01:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>heard of Yellowstone? Pete? You're here? Yeah?

1229
01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:41.600
<v Speaker 4>From the TV show?

1230
01:08:42.039 --> 01:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I see what you did there? A lot of

1231
01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:46.680
<v Speaker 1>people do that. No, it's it's from the It's from

1232
01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:52.479
<v Speaker 1>the Kennedy the rough Rider dude. So yeah, I and

1233
01:08:52.600 --> 01:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I had relatives Clinton. My uncle was the chief law

1234
01:08:55.039 --> 01:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>enforcement officer for Yellowstone National Park for quite a few years,

1235
01:09:00.039 --> 01:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and I had the privilege of actually staying in those

1236
01:09:01.880 --> 01:09:05.239
<v Speaker 1>back country cabins with him on a couple of trips there.

1237
01:09:07.239 --> 01:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I did see where a dude got eaten by a

1238
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:14.760
<v Speaker 1>bear once, and I saw app Uh. I never saw

1239
01:09:14.800 --> 01:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>a tourist locked in a bathroom. Is that the win?

1240
01:09:18.079 --> 01:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>The Washington Post thought it was trying to go and individualize,

1241
01:09:21.840 --> 01:09:23.399
<v Speaker 1>and I have no By the way, I have nothing

1242
01:09:23.439 --> 01:09:26.079
<v Speaker 1>against Vince. Of course his name's Vince. By the way,

1243
01:09:26.279 --> 01:09:29.239
<v Speaker 1>I have nothing against this guy, and it is true.

1244
01:09:29.279 --> 01:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>There's there's a lot of stuff you got to lock

1245
01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:33.279
<v Speaker 1>and unlock. We have it with the app, you know,

1246
01:09:33.359 --> 01:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>with the people who walk the trail, they use those

1247
01:09:35.960 --> 01:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>out shelters. You have to have people a minute. But

1248
01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:42.039
<v Speaker 1>it's the fallacy that in business you would never allow

1249
01:09:42.079 --> 01:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>where if one guy, even if it's kind of a

1250
01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:48.560
<v Speaker 1>menial thing, can shut down your entire operation. You would

1251
01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:51.159
<v Speaker 1>never have that because what if he gets hit by

1252
01:09:51.199 --> 01:09:54.079
<v Speaker 1>a bus? Is essentially the quagmire there.

1253
01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:58.000
<v Speaker 4>Right, It's like building a depth star and having one

1254
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:01.880
<v Speaker 4>single vent weak spot. You know that you could just

1255
01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:03.520
<v Speaker 4>shoot them a sizable.

1256
01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:06.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just a sizeable womp rat. I don't understand what

1257
01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:11.119
<v Speaker 1>the problem is. What are we doing? This is insanity,

1258
01:10:11.680 --> 01:10:12.119
<v Speaker 1>This is.

1259
01:10:12.079 --> 01:10:17.439
<v Speaker 4>No What this is called is malicious compliance. Correct, malicious compliance.

1260
01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:20.000
<v Speaker 4>It's the same thing they did. And for those who

1261
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:23.199
<v Speaker 4>were not paying any attention to politics or something back

1262
01:10:23.239 --> 01:10:26.119
<v Speaker 4>in the day when there was the government shut down

1263
01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:29.960
<v Speaker 4>under the Obama administration. Uh, and we were yeah, and

1264
01:10:29.960 --> 01:10:35.399
<v Speaker 4>we were treated to the spectacle of them like roping

1265
01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:39.720
<v Speaker 4>off old faithful. You know, don't look at the guysner,

1266
01:10:39.800 --> 01:10:42.680
<v Speaker 4>you're not allowed to look or Mount Rushmore. They closed

1267
01:10:43.479 --> 01:10:46.239
<v Speaker 4>the side of a road where people would pull off

1268
01:10:46.239 --> 01:10:50.359
<v Speaker 4>and take pictures of Mount Rushmore and yeah, yeah, like

1269
01:10:50.479 --> 01:10:52.119
<v Speaker 4>you're not allowed to look at this. And then of

1270
01:10:52.159 --> 01:10:54.920
<v Speaker 4>course they shut down the World War Two Veterans Memorial,

1271
01:10:54.960 --> 01:10:56.960
<v Speaker 4>and then the and then you know, the point were

1272
01:10:57.000 --> 01:11:02.239
<v Speaker 4>running up there. Literally it's right, it's some statues on

1273
01:11:02.279 --> 01:11:05.399
<v Speaker 4>a sidewalk basically, and you're you're you're roping. It took

1274
01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:08.439
<v Speaker 4>more money and personnel to put up all the barriers,

1275
01:11:08.439 --> 01:11:12.760
<v Speaker 4>which of course were completely deconstructed in rapid fashioned by

1276
01:11:12.880 --> 01:11:16.520
<v Speaker 4>the World War Two veterans who stormed beaches at Normandy.

1277
01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:18.560
<v Speaker 4>Do you think your gates are going to stop them

1278
01:11:18.600 --> 01:11:19.920
<v Speaker 4>from getting into their memorial?

1279
01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>And of course you have a thing for that, don't

1280
01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:24.439
<v Speaker 1>they the enemy line? Yeah?

1281
01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:28.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's the way. For example, like am I to

1282
01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:32.840
<v Speaker 4>believe that nobody else at Yosemite has any keys? It's

1283
01:11:32.960 --> 01:11:35.039
<v Speaker 4>just this one guy. And if you know it's the

1284
01:11:35.039 --> 01:11:39.039
<v Speaker 4>one guy, why do you fire him? Right, Yosemite's got

1285
01:11:39.039 --> 01:11:42.800
<v Speaker 4>four hundred and fifty something employees, why would you fire

1286
01:11:43.119 --> 01:11:46.000
<v Speaker 4>that one guy? Or at the Grand Canyon where they're like,

1287
01:11:46.039 --> 01:11:48.960
<v Speaker 4>we didn't have enough personnel to let people in through

1288
01:11:48.960 --> 01:11:51.560
<v Speaker 4>the south Gate, which is like the most popular, like

1289
01:11:51.680 --> 01:11:54.560
<v Speaker 4>ninety percent of the traffic comes in there. So they said, hey,

1290
01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:56.640
<v Speaker 4>you know what, let's really stick it to the people

1291
01:11:56.680 --> 01:11:59.479
<v Speaker 4>and to Trump, and we're going to fire everybody that

1292
01:11:59.600 --> 01:12:01.880
<v Speaker 4>was working in the south Gate or we'll move resources

1293
01:12:01.920 --> 01:12:04.720
<v Speaker 4>away from there to make them feel the pain. And

1294
01:12:04.760 --> 01:12:07.760
<v Speaker 4>this is malicious compliance. It's the same thing that they

1295
01:12:07.760 --> 01:12:09.560
<v Speaker 4>did with like we're gonna take off all of the

1296
01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:12.279
<v Speaker 4>books from the shelves that have anything to do with

1297
01:12:12.520 --> 01:12:14.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, the Tuskegee Airmen, like now.

1298
01:12:14.920 --> 01:12:17.960
<v Speaker 1>And then they show the empty shelves photos. I saw

1299
01:12:18.079 --> 01:12:20.359
<v Speaker 1>that on Twitter and then we I was just talking

1300
01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>about this with schools man because you know, White County's like, hey, anyway,

1301
01:12:24.840 --> 01:12:26.479
<v Speaker 1>I guess we touched on this, so like, hey, you

1302
01:12:26.520 --> 01:12:28.039
<v Speaker 1>know what we need. We need some money for like

1303
01:12:28.119 --> 01:12:31.119
<v Speaker 1>AC units and air filtration. People like wait a sec

1304
01:12:31.359 --> 01:12:36.079
<v Speaker 1>hold on, ye hold up just a minute. Didn't we

1305
01:12:36.119 --> 01:12:38.560
<v Speaker 1>do this? And and they're like off, you know, And

1306
01:12:38.600 --> 01:12:41.399
<v Speaker 1>then I have covered school districts up to it and

1307
01:12:41.439 --> 01:12:43.039
<v Speaker 1>having to go and I'm sure you've done it in

1308
01:12:43.119 --> 01:12:44.840
<v Speaker 1>your news capacity. I just have to go to the

1309
01:12:44.880 --> 01:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>school board meetings and sit there, oh yeah, and just

1310
01:12:47.840 --> 01:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>stick a chopstick in both ears and eyes. Man. And

1311
01:12:51.680 --> 01:12:55.840
<v Speaker 1>it's because it's so inane, it's so repetitive. But I'll

1312
01:12:55.880 --> 01:12:58.960
<v Speaker 1>tell you the thing that I saw every year is

1313
01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:01.560
<v Speaker 1>when they thought the voters weren't going to support a

1314
01:13:01.640 --> 01:13:04.279
<v Speaker 1>bond or they're gonna have to raise it, they would

1315
01:13:04.279 --> 01:13:06.760
<v Speaker 1>come up with a contingency plan. All right, so the

1316
01:13:06.920 --> 01:13:09.119
<v Speaker 1>voters don't vote for this, what are we going to

1317
01:13:09.159 --> 01:13:11.000
<v Speaker 1>do for the cuts? And then they would be like,

1318
01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:15.439
<v Speaker 1>all right, what's the most painful visible thing we can threaten.

1319
01:13:15.479 --> 01:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>They'd be like, all right, well, we're not gonna kids

1320
01:13:17.960 --> 01:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>aren't gonna have to have We're gonna chop all their

1321
01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:21.840
<v Speaker 1>heads off if you do it right. And then that's

1322
01:13:21.880 --> 01:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>what they would put out there, and I would be

1323
01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:27.119
<v Speaker 1>seething at the little media section there.

1324
01:13:27.880 --> 01:13:33.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Buses, extracurricular activities, sports, right, both are the things

1325
01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:37.359
<v Speaker 4>they cut first and they threaten parents with in order

1326
01:13:37.439 --> 01:13:41.760
<v Speaker 4>to shake them down to extort the additional revenue out

1327
01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:44.199
<v Speaker 4>of them, rather than cutting anything else, like, well, we've

1328
01:13:44.199 --> 01:13:47.840
<v Speaker 4>cut to the bone everywhere else we possibly can cut.

1329
01:13:48.000 --> 01:13:50.079
<v Speaker 4>So if you don't approve this, we're gonna have to

1330
01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:52.960
<v Speaker 4>cut your buses up in New York, all of the

1331
01:13:54.079 --> 01:13:56.760
<v Speaker 4>the budgets would go to voters every year. The voters

1332
01:13:56.760 --> 01:13:59.079
<v Speaker 4>would vote on the local school budgets. And this with

1333
01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:01.479
<v Speaker 4>the I learned the lesson when I was in high school.

1334
01:14:01.479 --> 01:14:04.119
<v Speaker 4>I was covering school board meetings in high school and

1335
01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:06.680
<v Speaker 4>go into those meetings then, and this was the game

1336
01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:09.319
<v Speaker 4>they play. I know it, and I spent another decade

1337
01:14:09.359 --> 01:14:12.840
<v Speaker 4>doing it in Charlotte Meck. And this is the game,

1338
01:14:13.239 --> 01:14:19.199
<v Speaker 4>and it is malicious compliance. They make the taxpayers feel

1339
01:14:19.279 --> 01:14:22.079
<v Speaker 4>the pain so they can get more money to do

1340
01:14:22.279 --> 01:14:24.159
<v Speaker 4>other stuff that they want to do. They never go

1341
01:14:24.279 --> 01:14:26.800
<v Speaker 4>back to a zero based budget. They never zero things

1342
01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:29.000
<v Speaker 4>out and look to see are we spending this in

1343
01:14:29.039 --> 01:14:33.239
<v Speaker 4>the appropriate way. Never, it's always just continuation budgets after

1344
01:14:33.319 --> 01:14:34.520
<v Speaker 4>continuation budgets.

1345
01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:39.119
<v Speaker 1>The did we We're gonna probably stick on this topic

1346
01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:44.079
<v Speaker 1>because there's like three different scenarios, this transitionary thing, and

1347
01:14:44.119 --> 01:14:47.119
<v Speaker 1>this is I'm going to play the Commerce Secretary's audio.

1348
01:14:47.439 --> 01:14:49.199
<v Speaker 1>This is the thing. I thought, you wouldn't it be

1349
01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:51.680
<v Speaker 1>crazy if Trump tried to do this? But he wouldn't

1350
01:14:51.720 --> 01:14:55.600
<v Speaker 1>do this. And that was where we we go back

1351
01:14:55.640 --> 01:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>to where the way that he used to be where

1352
01:14:58.079 --> 01:15:02.079
<v Speaker 1>the federal government was largely funded, not completely, but largely

1353
01:15:02.119 --> 01:15:07.239
<v Speaker 1>funded by tariffs and various other Basically, if people wanted

1354
01:15:07.279 --> 01:15:09.279
<v Speaker 1>to do business with us, because it's pretty good to

1355
01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:12.399
<v Speaker 1>do business in the US, revenue would be derived and

1356
01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:14.319
<v Speaker 1>that would fund things. Then we went to this federal

1357
01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:18.039
<v Speaker 1>income tax, and the craziest thing to do would be like, hey,

1358
01:15:18.079 --> 01:15:20.239
<v Speaker 1>maybe we should go back to the other thing. Surely

1359
01:15:20.279 --> 01:15:21.159
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't do that.

1360
01:15:21.319 --> 01:15:24.479
<v Speaker 8>And then Lutnick said that our objective under Donald Trump

1361
01:15:24.760 --> 01:15:27.239
<v Speaker 8>is to balance this budget. And I'm telling you you

1362
01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:28.479
<v Speaker 8>watch it, We're going to do it.

1363
01:15:28.720 --> 01:15:32.199
<v Speaker 9>If you get savings from these doze cuts. Are you

1364
01:15:32.319 --> 01:15:34.319
<v Speaker 9>going to give any of this back to the American

1365
01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:37.079
<v Speaker 9>people we keep hearing about these doze dividends?

1366
01:15:37.399 --> 01:15:41.319
<v Speaker 8>Well, think about it. Donald Trump announces the external Revenue Service,

1367
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:44.720
<v Speaker 8>and his goal is very simple, to abolish.

1368
01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:46.960
<v Speaker 4>His goal is to abolish.

1369
01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:50.039
<v Speaker 8>The internal revenue service and let all the outsiders pay.

1370
01:15:50.720 --> 01:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, So he's talking about that, that's what he's saying.

1371
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:55.680
<v Speaker 1>He's saying, we'll go back to the way that it

1372
01:15:55.800 --> 01:16:02.640
<v Speaker 1>used to be. Holy crap, is that doable? What a

1373
01:16:02.680 --> 01:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>position the Dems would be in, because then they have

1374
01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>to explain to people who suddenly have twenty percent well

1375
01:16:08.079 --> 01:16:10.560
<v Speaker 1>or was the mean effective rately eighteen percent? That people

1376
01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:13.239
<v Speaker 1>actually have twenty percent more money, and you have to

1377
01:16:13.319 --> 01:16:15.199
<v Speaker 1>go explain to them why you don't think they should

1378
01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:18.279
<v Speaker 1>have that. But also I don't know how that tracks

1379
01:16:18.399 --> 01:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>in an economy that could be impacted like by COVID.

1380
01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:24.840
<v Speaker 1>COVID would devastate a tariff on the economy. So I'm

1381
01:16:24.880 --> 01:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>sure you've given this some thought. What do you think?

1382
01:16:26.800 --> 01:16:30.039
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, now, look the biggest problem here I actually

1383
01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:32.439
<v Speaker 4>have not, but I know this is an idea that

1384
01:16:32.479 --> 01:16:36.279
<v Speaker 4>gets kicked around inside mainly conservative circles.

1385
01:16:36.279 --> 01:16:40.560
<v Speaker 1>So let the libertarian like convey yeah, yeah, basically.

1386
01:16:40.119 --> 01:16:44.239
<v Speaker 4>Yes and so. And it's because yes, this was at

1387
01:16:44.239 --> 01:16:46.359
<v Speaker 4>the founding of the nation. This was how they did. Now,

1388
01:16:46.399 --> 01:16:48.760
<v Speaker 4>they did do protection as tariffs on what they called

1389
01:16:48.840 --> 01:16:51.640
<v Speaker 4>infant industries to protect them as they were starting up.

1390
01:16:51.680 --> 01:16:55.880
<v Speaker 4>But the idea was, yeah, you fund the government, which

1391
01:16:55.960 --> 01:16:59.279
<v Speaker 4>was obviously much much smaller at the time with these

1392
01:16:59.560 --> 01:17:03.720
<v Speaker 4>with this, with the tariff model. Now the challenge is

1393
01:17:03.760 --> 01:17:08.439
<v Speaker 4>going to be big accounting because there is a massive

1394
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:12.239
<v Speaker 4>industry I think turbo tax.

1395
01:17:13.239 --> 01:17:16.119
<v Speaker 1>What's the green guys, Yeah.

1396
01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:21.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah, they spend yeah, yeah, tons of money

1397
01:17:21.560 --> 01:17:25.880
<v Speaker 4>lobbying for the preservation of the system. They do not

1398
01:17:26.119 --> 01:17:30.680
<v Speaker 4>want a simplified tax code. A simplified tax code means

1399
01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:34.359
<v Speaker 4>fewer people need their services, fewer people need accountants to

1400
01:17:34.399 --> 01:17:38.439
<v Speaker 4>do their taxes. So there's a there's a massive lobbying

1401
01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:43.000
<v Speaker 4>effort against anything that would eliminate the income tax on

1402
01:17:43.239 --> 01:17:47.119
<v Speaker 4>just like those grounds. Then you layer in the fact

1403
01:17:47.159 --> 01:17:49.920
<v Speaker 4>that the left, you know, sees a penny, wants to

1404
01:17:49.960 --> 01:17:52.600
<v Speaker 4>spend a penny, and so they they kind of count

1405
01:17:52.680 --> 01:17:56.840
<v Speaker 4>all of the income generated in the private sector as

1406
01:17:57.279 --> 01:18:00.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, available for the taking. It's just a matter

1407
01:17:59.960 --> 01:18:02.439
<v Speaker 4>of how you want to do it. So they're going

1408
01:18:02.479 --> 01:18:04.960
<v Speaker 4>to be against it. But to your question, I don't

1409
01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:09.960
<v Speaker 4>know how you make an argument except for, oh my gosh,

1410
01:18:09.960 --> 01:18:11.720
<v Speaker 4>we're going to have no money, the sky is going

1411
01:18:11.760 --> 01:18:15.600
<v Speaker 4>to fall, catastrophe, which is what we saw in North Carolina.

1412
01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:18.960
<v Speaker 4>You'll recall when you know, organizations like the Budget and

1413
01:18:19.079 --> 01:18:22.119
<v Speaker 4>Tax Center whatever they call themselves, they you know, had

1414
01:18:22.159 --> 01:18:25.319
<v Speaker 4>all of these dire predictions. When the Republicans took over,

1415
01:18:25.399 --> 01:18:27.600
<v Speaker 4>and guys like Bob Rouchow State Cenator were like, I

1416
01:18:27.600 --> 01:18:30.239
<v Speaker 4>want to get the income tax to zero. And they're like,

1417
01:18:30.319 --> 01:18:32.359
<v Speaker 4>you're going to bankrupt the state. And what have we

1418
01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:37.560
<v Speaker 4>seen under Republican tax reform? We've seen surpluses, right that

1419
01:18:37.680 --> 01:18:42.960
<v Speaker 4>nobody like that, Right that nobody that nobody thought we

1420
01:18:43.039 --> 01:18:47.560
<v Speaker 4>could achieve and we could not with the tax structure

1421
01:18:47.680 --> 01:18:50.159
<v Speaker 4>being what it was. But when you allow people to

1422
01:18:50.239 --> 01:18:53.159
<v Speaker 4>keep their own money, they engage in more economic activity

1423
01:18:53.399 --> 01:18:57.840
<v Speaker 4>that generates more sales tax revenue and that goes to

1424
01:18:57.880 --> 01:19:00.560
<v Speaker 4>the state caffers. So yeah, I mean it, it does

1425
01:19:00.680 --> 01:19:03.920
<v Speaker 4>make sense that you know that growth solves a lot

1426
01:19:04.079 --> 01:19:07.359
<v Speaker 4>of these types of financial problems.

1427
01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:12.239
<v Speaker 1>For states, and it's it is remarkably more un How

1428
01:19:12.279 --> 01:19:14.479
<v Speaker 1>do I say it's unundoable? Do you know what I'm saying?

1429
01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Like the Democrats can't just because they can't come in

1430
01:19:16.960 --> 01:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>if they seize the White House next and go everything

1431
01:19:20.039 --> 01:19:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump did is done. If you've viewed this transition, But damn,

1432
01:19:23.960 --> 01:19:27.079
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be ugly. It's going to be ugly man.

1433
01:19:27.359 --> 01:19:29.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Now, yeah, I don't know if it can completely

1434
01:19:29.680 --> 01:19:35.600
<v Speaker 4>go away. You've got also the constitutional you know, sure amendments.

1435
01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:40.640
<v Speaker 1>And so you have obligations like you know, Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare,

1436
01:19:40.840 --> 01:19:44.119
<v Speaker 1>things like that. Yes, they didn't exist at the transitionary time,

1437
01:19:45.119 --> 01:19:45.640
<v Speaker 1>So I don't.

1438
01:19:45.520 --> 01:19:46.880
<v Speaker 4>Did you hear by the way, where they were like,

1439
01:19:46.920 --> 01:19:49.159
<v Speaker 4>we don't have Elon Musk lied about these hundred and

1440
01:19:49.159 --> 01:19:52.439
<v Speaker 4>fifty year olds on Social Security getting benefits. They're not

1441
01:19:52.479 --> 01:19:56.399
<v Speaker 4>really there. It's just a coding error that different to

1442
01:19:56.439 --> 01:20:00.199
<v Speaker 4>the original date. Yeah, and cobol or whatever. This program

1443
01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:02.439
<v Speaker 4>like I haven't been in use anywhere. Oh and by

1444
01:20:02.479 --> 01:20:04.960
<v Speaker 4>the way, it's probably a bunch of like uh uh,

1445
01:20:05.000 --> 01:20:06.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, just people that we don't have their information,

1446
01:20:06.920 --> 01:20:08.640
<v Speaker 4>so we're giving them money instead. But they're not one

1447
01:20:08.720 --> 01:20:10.880
<v Speaker 4>hundred and fifty. And I'm like, that's not a good answer.

1448
01:20:11.439 --> 01:20:14.079
<v Speaker 1>No, it's not a number they don't have. They don't

1449
01:20:14.079 --> 01:20:16.960
<v Speaker 1>have trackability. It's in the trillions. It's like a savisible

1450
01:20:17.039 --> 01:20:21.600
<v Speaker 1>part of our uh our our our our deficit there. Yeah, dude,

1451
01:20:22.079 --> 01:20:23.760
<v Speaker 1>there's so many things I want to get into. Vance

1452
01:20:23.760 --> 01:20:26.399
<v Speaker 1>over in Germany. German elections about ready to go, and

1453
01:20:26.439 --> 01:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>they're like, hey, you guys don't believe in free speech,

1454
01:20:28.600 --> 01:20:30.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe we shouldn't be there. And now they're all like, oh,

1455
01:20:31.000 --> 01:20:33.800
<v Speaker 1>but you're gonna miss our scrudle, Like it's really fun

1456
01:20:33.840 --> 01:20:38.920
<v Speaker 1>to watch this. I like Scrudel, So yeah, when all right, dude,

1457
01:20:38.920 --> 01:20:40.840
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have to We'll have to do this next week,

01:20:47.760 --> 01:20:51.159
<v Speaker 1>then stay safe out there, don't drive around idiots. There's
