Armstrong and Getty show.

0:19

At a hospital in Queens, New York. N

0:21

YPD officers salute in the dignified

0:24

transfer of the body of their fellow officer,

0:26

Jonathan Diller. The thirty one year old

0:28

was shot and killed in the line of duty, reportedly

0:31

leaving behind a one year old son.

0:33

This family upstairs, young

0:36

wife who's devastated.

0:40

Yet another tragic killing of a cop.

0:43

The rates of cop killings has risen

0:45

significantly in the last several years

0:47

and continues to rise.

0:48

It's absolutely horrible.

0:51

That's story out of New York City getting

0:53

a fair amount of attention, mostly you

0:56

know, to the right of center. But it should

0:58

be not only because it's utterly but

1:01

because it's emblematicus so many things that have

1:03

gone terribly wrong with justice, the

1:05

justice system in blue cities. Let's

1:08

roll on with Brian Yennis. One more clip

1:11

there, Michael seventy one.

1:12

The NYPD says, just before six

1:14

pm, Diller and his partner responded

1:16

to a vehicle illegally stopped at a bus

1:19

stop. The officers asked those inside

1:21

numerous times to get out, and they refused

1:23

before one of the suspects shot Diller, fatally

1:26

hitting him in the torso under his bulletproof

1:28

vest. Fox has learned the suspected

1:30

shooter is thirty four year old Guy Rivera.

1:33

He was shot by police but is expected to

1:35

survive. The New York Post reports Rivera

1:37

has twenty one prior arrests. The

1:40

driver, forty one year old Lindy Jones,

1:42

reportedly has fourteen prior

1:44

arrests and was free on bail on a

1:46

gun charge.

1:47

How do you have more than twenty prior

1:49

arrests and you are out and about

1:51

you know what?

1:52

You need?

1:52

More gun laws? Yeah,

1:55

I absolutely want to get to that. So this guy

1:57

was arrested twenty one times,

2:00

he and the driver with gun charges, and

2:03

you know, we'll skip to the end. The left is

2:06

constantly asking for more gun

2:08

laws, and then when somebody not

2:11

only violates them, but over and over

2:13

again, and it's clearly a menace to society

2:15

and a predator, they in the name

2:17

of restorative justice or DEI or

2:19

whatever, say you can't prosecute him

2:21

because of systemic racism. How have

2:23

those two stories not come together?

2:26

The every time anybody is shot anywhere,

2:28

more gun laws, and the when we arrest

2:30

people, you don't prosecute them. How have those two

2:33

stories not butted up against each other in

2:35

like reality? Well they have in reality. How

2:37

have they not in a conversation?

2:40

And it's not like guys like

2:42

this violate gun laws like

2:44

hunter Biden did he lied on a form.

2:46

No, they point their guns at people

2:49

and pull the trigger. And then the same people

2:51

who scream for more gun laws say you can't

2:53

prosecute him, do not prosecute

2:55

him, or we'll just turn him loose.

2:57

And the problem has gotten so agree

3:00

so obvious.

3:01

You have a guy like Eric Adams,

3:03

who's a lefty and I think a

3:05

bit of adult honestly, but

3:07

he was a cop and he

3:10

understands the reality of the streets.

3:11

And here he is in seventy two.

3:13

We've always had a problem with recidivism

3:16

with a small number of people.

3:17

It's always been a problem, and we

3:19

never really zeroed in on it as

3:22

much as we should have.

3:24

Roll on with seventy four, Michael, there guys

3:27

no longer fear the police.

3:29

They feel emboldened to

3:31

do whatever they want.

3:34

Yeah, well, there's a really quick

3:37

way to deal with recidivism, don't

3:39

let him.

3:39

Out right exactly?

3:42

So this guy, I thought it was interesting. In Brian

3:45

Yennis of Fox News Report, he mentioned

3:47

he'd been arrested

3:49

twenty one times. Were

3:51

there any convictions? Was

3:53

he ever tried? Was he ever charged?

3:57

Somebody who's been arrested going on a couple

3:59

of times has told

4:01

you exactly who he.

4:03

Is, well, right, and is any copple will tell

4:05

you to get arrested twenties sometimes

4:08

how many crimes did you commit to get arrested?

4:10

Twenty sometimes hundreds? Right?

4:13

Right?

4:14

And Mayor Adams, I think he nailed it.

4:16

It's a recidivism thing. It's a few really

4:18

bad apples commit a lot of the

4:20

crimes. And any sane society

4:23

would say, as soon as we identify these people

4:25

and prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are guilty of

4:27

what they're being charged of, we remove

4:30

them from society. And somebody

4:32

saying, oh, no, historically speaking, blah

4:34

blah blah, that don't enter into it,

4:37

and so save that for your textbooks

4:39

or if you want to reform the schools or

4:41

teach the little kids or something, that's fine.

4:44

But this guy has violated the

4:46

laws of God. And man and must be punished

4:48

before he hurts anybody else.

4:51

From roughly the mid seventies to the mid

4:53

nineties, we decided that, yes, there

4:55

is a certain percentage of people that,

4:58

for whatever reason, are going to be criminals, and if we

5:00

keep them locked up, we'll all be

5:02

pretty safe and our stuff won't get stolen. And

5:04

then we decided we didn't. But as

5:06

a society, I guess decided

5:09

that there are too many people in jail and it must be unfair.

5:11

We must be doing something unfair, or they

5:13

can be.

5:14

It's disproportionately this sort of person

5:16

or that sort of person that proves it's unjust.

5:18

Where it can be fixed or something.

5:20

Anyway, Now we let people commit crimes,

5:22

including really bad ones, over and

5:24

over and over again.

5:25

It's nuts. What society

5:28

does this? Yeah, I would

5:30

agree completely. Obviously we'll

5:32

give the final note, which may not be the

5:34

final note to Djoecimaldi, who's a cop

5:36

who posted the following

5:38

editorial online seventy six.

5:41

Michael Well He mentions

5:43

up he mentioned I'm sorry. He mentions that

5:45

the guy's been arrested

5:48

over and over again, and the woke criminal justice system

5:50

is a revolving door and these guys

5:52

just come in and out. They have absolutely no fear

5:54

of significant punishment. They

5:56

may be predatory, they may be ugly, but they're

5:58

smart. They understand the atmosphere,

6:01

the environment

6:04

in which they operate as criminals.

6:07

Anyway, we'll continue with seventy six because

6:10

you know what.

6:10

Eighty five percent of cop

6:13

killers have been arrested before. Seventy

6:15

one percent of them are convicted

6:17

felons.

6:18

That's why we need to.

6:19

Stop the revolving to our criminal justice system

6:22

to combat the war on cops.

6:23

It's also why we need to pass.

6:25

The Protecting servag so that it'll make

6:27

it a federal crime to assault the police officer,

6:29

and it'll.

6:30

Take it out of the hands of these.

6:31

Rogue DA's and activist judges. This

6:34

officer's life was taken because

6:36

the system failed him, and

6:38

there's blood on all of their hands for it.

6:41

Yeah, you know, it's horrible. It happens

6:43

to cops, It happens to lots of people. It shouldn't

6:46

happen to anybody when when,

6:48

as you say, somebody has

6:50

gone out and demonstrated to the world this is the

6:52

kind of person I am, and then

6:54

we don't lock them up after they've demonstrated

6:56

that here's a questionable

6:59

constitution idea for you. When

7:02

a state or a municipality violates

7:05

somebody's civil rights, their federal

7:07

rights guaranteed by the Constitution, the Department

7:10

of Justice, which is highly politicized, can

7:13

and should step in and say, whatever,

7:15

state of Mississippi you're discriminating,

7:18

you're discriminating against black kids,

7:20

or you know, a

7:22

state of Nevada, you

7:24

took away this guy's right to free speech during

7:27

COVID or whatever.

7:28

That's the rule of the federal government.

7:30

The government exists to protect your rights,

7:32

not to give you money to protect your rights. But anyway,

7:35

if if someone is victimized,

7:38

and we focus on murder, of course, because it's

7:40

the ultimate victimization, but if you've

7:43

ever been seriously hurt

7:45

or even just terrified in a crime,

7:47

that stays with you for life.

7:50

Oh yeah, I've told the story so many

7:52

times about the homeless guy who changed

7:56

my kid's view of being

7:58

out and about in public for the rest of their life and

8:00

mine to a certain extent. And that guy had been arrested

8:02

multiple times for a

8:05

variety of very violent things

8:07

and shipped around the country and always let go.

8:10

But I think a lot of us unconsciously

8:13

have the attitude that if somebody is shot and survived,

8:16

then that that's not nearly as big a deal. But

8:19

can you imagine you will feel

8:21

that pain. Your organs

8:23

will not work right, you will ache,

8:25

you will hurt, you will wake up with night terrors

8:28

for the rest of your days. Okay, so

8:30

this is not trivial stuff

8:33

at all, But

8:35

why can't if I

8:37

am victimized in that way.

8:40

And the woke DA be.

8:43

It in LA or Philadelphia or

8:45

Chicago or in this case New York, that

8:47

would be Alvin Bragg. By the way, perhaps you've

8:50

heard the name before the woke DA turns

8:52

that person loose over and over again.

8:57

Is there a constitutional means

9:00

by which the federal government can step

9:03

in and say, no, your right

9:05

to be protected by the government, and I've got to come up

9:07

with a specific wording that would make sense. But your

9:10

rights, your civil rights are being violated.

9:13

The government has let you down so severely

9:16

that yes, you are comparable to that

9:18

little kid in Mississippi or that person

9:20

who's free speech rights were trampled. My

9:22

right to not be killed or grievously

9:25

injured, I would put up pretty

9:27

high on my list of rights.

9:29

Damn it if you'd only actually gone to law school,

9:33

but I would.

9:33

Yeah, I'm surprised.

9:34

There must be a reason why that can't happen, but it

9:36

certainly makes sense if

9:39

somebody's not being able to

9:41

vote and the federal government steps

9:43

in to make sure they gain. Well, if somebody's

9:46

not being able to avoid being

9:48

knocked on the head and having the stuff stolen

9:50

because the government won't stop it.

9:52

Yeah, Yeah, it's difficult to find

9:56

a constitutional basis to prosecute

9:58

a sin of omission rights,

10:00

as the Border States can tell you right now.

10:02

When the government doesn't do its job,

10:05

it gets a little complicated constitutionally

10:08

speaking.

10:08

That was the example I was actually thinking of, because they've demonstrated

10:11

over and over and over again their lack of willingness

10:13

to do anything. Coming

10:16

up, I've got two stories

10:19

related to celebrities that

10:21

are very interesting about

10:25

just life in general, Doctor Dre and

10:28

Disney Child stars, both of them.

10:31

Both these stories I think you'll find interesting.

10:33

Stay tuned.

10:35

He I

10:44

can't keep it home with this fun I was listening to this

10:46

just the other day with my son in my truck, which has awesome

10:48

base.

10:49

Uh.

10:50

Doctor Dray with Snoop there so the Dre

10:52

album that made him super famous on

10:54

his own after NWA

10:57

came out thirty two years

10:59

ago something like that.

11:01

Wow, all right, anyway, doctor Dre is

11:03

now older and uh he

11:08

I didn't realize he had aneurysm in

11:10

a series of strokes. But

11:12

it says here he asks his doctor is there anything

11:14

I could have done to avoid this? And

11:17

he says basically, they said no. And

11:20

I had no idea that I had high blood pressure

11:23

or anything like that. I lift weights, I

11:25

run, I do everything I can to keep myself healthy.

11:27

But it turns out high blood pressure is not

11:30

good for you. Okay, well all

11:32

right, thanks for that. ToIP, How are you a billionaire

11:35

and a doctor, and that's

11:39

right to yourself?

11:41

You never check your blood pressure?

11:45

You say, I can think of one thing

11:47

you could have done.

11:48

How are you a billionaire in your fifties and you have

11:50

no idea you have high blood pressure? Or

11:53

don't know that it's a good idea to know

11:55

that you have whether or.

11:56

Not you have high blood pressure, that's just yeh in

11:58

case in case folks

12:01

are not familiar with it. As a guy who

12:04

suffered from hypertension of my entire adult life

12:06

and works hard to treat it. Get your blood

12:08

pressure check, because it's there are no

12:10

symptoms until the symptoms are devastating,

12:13

So get that thing checked.

12:15

I'm lucky I got just naturally low blood pressure,

12:18

probably because I just I've given up, so

12:21

it keeps my blood pressure low.

12:23

Given up on life is relaxed, the

12:26

pressure is off.

12:29

And a different celebrity story.

12:30

I actually heard this on NPR today when

12:32

I was driving a work some child star I didn't

12:34

know from some Nickelodeon show I

12:36

never watched. Might be

12:39

something Katie is aware of more from

12:41

her background. But when they used to pour

12:43

green slime on people's heads and that sort

12:45

of stuff, I've seen highlights of that on Nickelodeon.

12:47

What was that show called?

12:48

You know, they did it on a bunch of their shows.

12:50

It was I think they started it.

12:51

On all that all that they mentioned here.

12:53

Yes, anyway, there's some documentary

12:56

out now called quiet on the

12:58

set The Dark Side of Kids, and

13:01

it's similar to

13:03

the Doctor dre of Uh. Yeah,

13:05

blood pressure is the thing. You know,

13:08

know what your blood pressure is that causes these things that

13:10

happened to you. This This is news

13:12

to anyone that there's a dark side to child

13:15

acting being a child star.

13:17

Seriously did you did you not know this?

13:20

And the particular

13:22

kid that I heard on NPR

13:25

today, their worst

13:27

allegation was, look,

13:30

this is all about money, and so the tutors

13:32

that are supposed to be teaching us actually work for the

13:34

studio, so they don't care about our education. And

13:37

they've got us running all over from one thing

13:39

to another thing to another thing all the time, and

13:41

we're tired and exhausted and don't care about our well being.

13:43

And I thought that sounds like

13:45

your parents made a mistake, not them.

13:48

I mean, it's you know, they could have been nicer. But what

13:51

were your parents doing while you're running

13:53

around from thing to thing to thing and not learning

13:57

what?

13:57

I think?

13:58

Maybe there is a need for one of these books

14:00

once a generation, just so

14:03

everybody knows.

14:06

Yeah, I guess I will tell you that

14:08

that documentary ruined my childhood

14:11

pretty much that I cannot

14:13

think of Nickelodeon scenes.

14:15

Really at all anymore.

14:16

No.

14:17

I watched that entire series and it's disgusting.

14:19

Well, do they have better examples

14:21

of abuse that I was running around

14:24

a lot and my tutor didn't care.

14:25

Oh, pedophiles on set, sexual

14:28

abuse, rape, all of it.

14:31

That's horrible, And if that happened to my

14:33

kid, I would kill the perpetrator so that would

14:35

be taken care of.

14:36

But again,

14:39

I.

14:39

Don't know how you didn't know that, that's what

14:41

the industry was like. You're

14:44

not You're you're the victim, and you're

14:46

you're not at fault. I mean, it's the

14:48

fault of the rapist or whoever.

14:50

But geez, I

14:52

feel like you oughta know that human

14:54

beings have an amazing capacity to be blinded

14:57

by either greed or ideology

14:59

or or their other desires. And

15:02

the idea that my kid, who's really

15:04

handsome and can sing is gonna make us all rich

15:07

and be famous and I, by proxy will

15:09

be famous.

15:10

It blinds people. It certainly

15:13

must.

15:13

I can't imagine dropping off my really

15:16

cute seven year old girl at some studio

15:18

and driving away and seeing twelve hours.

15:21

I'm sure they'll take good care of you and be concerned

15:23

about your education. Yeah,

15:26

yeah, that's horrible. That's interesting, Katie,

15:28

that it ruined your view of Nickelodeon.

15:30

Oh.

15:31

There are several scenes that pop

15:33

up throughout this documentary that I remember

15:35

seeing as a kid and the comedy

15:38

that is engraved in it. It goes

15:40

over your head as a child, but seeing

15:42

it as an adult, it's borderline porn.

15:45

Wow. Yeah, it's disgusting.

15:48

I became aware a while back of the Disney

15:51

star making machinery, machinery the

15:53

child stars of all the hit shows, some

15:56

of whom go on to become

15:58

anorexic, drug addict, depressed,

16:01

its six Stars Britney seems fine,

16:05

sure, yeah right, and

16:07

it's just again, I think maybe

16:10

every generation needs to hear this and

16:12

understand that that is a

16:16

It's poisonous the idea that my

16:18

child is going to be a star and then

16:20

things will be good.

16:22

It's one of the worst things you can do to a child.

16:24

Well for every Ron Howard and

16:26

justin Timberlake to jump generations

16:28

there, there are a whole bunch of people

16:31

that don't turn out as normal as them out

16:33

of the child star machinery.

16:36

I wonder if that.

16:37

Number is obtainable somehow, if

16:40

it were known for every happy,

16:42

well adjusted child star, there are fifteen

16:44

hundred and eighty miserable drug

16:46

addicts or whatever that number happens to be.

16:48

So it's quite on the set. The Dark Sided Kids TV

16:51

streaming on Discovery and Imax. And then

16:53

I guess a couple of years ago HBO had when called

16:55

Showbiz Kids, it was similar. What

17:00

was the other thing we were gonna talk about? Oh, NBC

17:03

fire in that woman, Ronald

17:05

McDaniel. Yeah, God, there's still going

17:07

nuts over that, and it's

17:10

just I'm getting some shot and

17:12

freud out of it.

17:13

But uh, it's delicious.

17:15

It is pretty delicious. Armstrong

17:19

and Geeddy, Look,

17:22

let me do with the elephant in the room.

17:23

Yeah.

17:24

I think our bosses owe you an apology for

17:26

putting you in this situation because

17:28

I don't know what to believe. She is now a paid

17:30

contributor by NBC News. Well,

17:32

I have no idea whether any answer she gave to you

17:35

was because she didn't want to mess up her

17:37

contract. She

17:40

wants us to believe that she was speaking for the rn C when

17:42

the rn C was paying for So

17:46

she has credibility issues that she still

17:48

has to deal with. Is she speaking

17:50

for herself or she's speaking on behalf of who's

17:52

paying her?

17:53

So that Caesar haircutted Former

17:55

Meet the Press host Chuck Todd as

17:58

a guest on Meet the Press. Now that he no longer

18:00

runs it apologizing

18:03

on behalf of America or something to

18:06

the current host of Meet the Press for

18:08

having to interview the former

18:12

chair of the Republican National Committee.

18:14

I don't know if you followed that whole sentence there was complicated,

18:17

but anyway, So NBC hired

18:19

a Republican to be a

18:22

pundit, and Chuck Todd and

18:24

everybody, as you're about to hear that works

18:26

at NBC went nuts. And it

18:28

didn't occur to me till this is like the fourth time

18:30

I've heard this. His concern

18:34

was, when was she being honest

18:36

when she worked for them or when she works for us?

18:39

How is that not true?

18:40

For like half the pundits on

18:42

every talk show in America. He used to be

18:44

a politician and say this, Now

18:47

you're working for us saying that, or

18:49

in the CIA or FBI or

18:51

whatever.

18:52

What.

18:53

So all of your people, all the Democrats

18:55

who used to be spokespeople for various

18:57

people and now are pundits.

19:01

What that? That doesn't

19:03

exist as a different because we're

19:06

the good people. What's the matter? And we

19:08

always tell the truth.

19:10

Right right?

19:12

What I got to tell you, as I was

19:14

listening to Chuck Todd, I was thinking if

19:16

I were to write a parody of this, how

19:19

would I change it? And I

19:22

don't know that I could because

19:25

Chuck Todd is just so Chuck toaddy.

19:27

But what you're about to hear makes Chuck Todd

19:29

look restrained.

19:30

Well, we left out the headline that.

19:32

So after a revolt

19:35

among the people that work at NBC,

19:37

and you're about to hear more of that now, NBC

19:39

caved and fired Ronald McDaniel

19:41

or I don't know if she's gonna still get paid

19:43

on how her contract was worded, she's getting

19:45

three hundred thousand dollars a year for that. By the way, if

19:48

you've ever wondered and I had what these

19:50

various go on a show now and then

19:52

spew your stuff people, what they

19:54

get paid three hundred grand a year, that's

19:58

pretty good, pretty good job.

19:59

I'd do it, yeah, thank you.

20:01

But and so there was a revolt starting,

20:03

I guess on Friday, all the big hosts on MSNBC,

20:06

and it continued yesterday.

20:07

You wouldn't hire a made man like a mobster.

20:11

To work at a DA's office, right,

20:13

That is capitulating to an autocrat

20:15

in advance by saying, yes, we will

20:18

take your apparatic and

20:20

allow them to be elevated and platformed

20:22

with us, with journalists.

20:24

But we've also said election deniers as

20:26

not just they can do that on our airwaves, but that they

20:28

can do that as one of us, as

20:30

badge carrying employees of

20:32

NBC News, as paid contributors

20:35

to our sacred airwaves.

20:38

Your what they're our sacred

20:40

airwaves.

20:41

That's our favorite phrase of the whole thing that

20:43

might be the most pretentious thing I've ever heard of my

20:46

life. Our sacred airwaves or your

20:48

sacred airways sacred. You're elevating yourself

20:50

to like a godly church status

20:53

of the word being handed

20:55

down to mankind on our sacred

20:57

airwaves.

20:58

Our sacred airwaves is.

21:00

Nicole Wallace on MSNBC. By

21:02

the way, you've got to be kidding.

21:04

So when you have Old Brennan,

21:06

the former CIA guy who

21:08

signed on to that Hunter Biden's laptop

21:11

is Russian disinformation letter which

21:13

he knew at the time it wasn't correct,

21:16

and all kinds of other things, he is

21:18

not soiling your sacred air waves having

21:21

him on, and a whole bunch of other examples I

21:23

could give.

21:24

I was going to make light

21:26

of joy Reid calling yourself a journalist. But that one's

21:28

too easy, so I'll just pass. But yeah,

21:31

I joked yesterday that we're

21:33

going to play you a montage of people on

21:36

NBC and MSNBC saying

21:38

that Trump stole the election, that he was an illegitimate

21:41

president, of Hillary

21:43

saying that, of Stacey Abrams

21:45

saying that, of.

21:46

Them going on and on about the Russian.

21:47

Collusion hoax, lying of quoting Adam

21:50

Schiff, who's a oln liar. But that would have been

21:52

fifteen hours long, that collajh. I

21:54

was thinking about it earlier. No, that'd be like fifteen

21:56

days long. It'd be like a spring

21:58

rating stunt. We're in the middle of our fifteen

22:01

day people claiming Trump stole the election

22:03

marathon. I'm not big on claiming elections

22:06

are stolen no matter who did it, unless

22:08

you got some damn good evidence. But yeah,

22:10

that's absolutely sanctimonious

22:12

hilarity our sacred airwaves.

22:15

Rachel Maddow, who's super smart,

22:17

I don't think her analogy works

22:20

at all. Hiring a made man to work

22:22

in the.

22:24

DA's office, it was a

22:26

gaff when somebody accidentally

22:28

tells the truth. Hiring

22:31

a Republican to a network

22:33

that's entirely bent on pushing

22:35

progressive ideas and candidates. Right,

22:38

Yeah, the oppositional like a criminal

22:40

and the DA.

22:41

It is oppositional. It's not a good

22:43

analogy if you're assuming, like I did

22:46

briefly, that they're sitting

22:48

around trying to talk about the politics

22:50

of the day and understand it from every side.

22:52

They're not.

22:53

They're trying to get Joe Biden elected and

22:55

make sure Donald Trump doesn't.

22:57

That's why their shows.

22:58

Exist our Sacred

23:00

Airways.

23:01

Well, that's why they feel their that's what they

23:03

feel their job is.

23:05

Yeah, can you. I mean, it's so

23:07

unwise. I think Howie kurtzmy said some of this. I

23:09

don't want to steal his thunder. He was

23:11

on Special Report with Brett Paar last night, Hit

23:13

Me with sixty five, Michael, would you?

23:15

But the Sacred Airwaves have had McDaniel on

23:17

as a guest, and MSNBC president Rashida

23:19

Jones told of the hiring and advance

23:21

did not object at almost any other news

23:24

outlet talent castigating the

23:26

brass like this would be.

23:27

Shown the door.

23:28

After McDaniel's appearance on Meet the Press,

23:31

NBC executives also appeared worried about

23:33

alienating the large leader of audience.

23:36

Well, the original thought by the NBC

23:38

executives was the correct one. Let's have somebody

23:40

on from the part

23:43

the half the country that sees

23:46

things the way she sees them,

23:48

and let how.

23:49

We roll on sixty six Michael.

23:51

MSNBC's sacred airwaves

23:53

often refuse to air Donald Trump's

23:55

speeches, even on primary nights. And

23:57

while the channel employees prominent Republicans

23:59

and ex Republicans such as Nicole Wallace

24:02

and Michael Steele, they armand anti Trump

24:04

Republicans.

24:05

So what damage would have.

24:07

Been done if McDaniel occasionally

24:09

voiced pro Trump's sentiments with most

24:11

of MSNBC portraying him

24:13

as a danger to democracy.

24:15

Nicole Wallace and Michael

24:18

Steele are anti Republican Republicans,

24:21

not just anti Trump Republicans.

24:23

Now they're hacks.

24:24

Well, they also described in Mark

24:26

Leebovic's brilliant book This Town, they

24:29

worked for what side pays them.

24:30

Yeah by that definition, Yeah, that's what

24:32

they did. They thought, Wow, So because I'm

24:34

a Republican, I can come on here and you'll hire me forever.

24:37

I'll be in this career.

24:38

Michael Steele, who is the RNC chair way

24:40

back in the day, George Bush era.

24:42

He's had a lifetime job.

24:44

Now we now know three

24:46

hundred thousand dollars years, probably more than that for him,

24:49

maybe he makes a half a million dollars a year for twenty

24:51

years getting to be a pundit as long as he bad

24:53

mouths his own party.

24:54

Where do you sign up? Would say a.

24:56

Lot of people right, right, particularly

24:58

DC insider, So I just I

25:01

get that MSNBC in particular, But NBC

25:03

is a pandering factory,

25:06

and that's that's their business model. That's the way they

25:08

make money by telling one side that they're

25:10

always right.

25:11

And that exists of course on the right as well.

25:14

But the idea Morris, who was the

25:17

major advisor to Bill Clinton, has made

25:19

a career out of bad mouthing Democrats, even

25:21

though he was a Democrat his whole life. So he goes

25:23

on Fox and bad moss Democrats and.

25:24

People love it.

25:25

Yeah, yeah, absolutely, It's

25:28

great to see a convert anyway. But

25:31

I just from

25:34

even from a broadcast perspective,

25:36

the idea that you

25:39

can't even hear the

25:41

other side's point of view. I mean,

25:43

you could put Ronal McDaniel on a panel and have four

25:45

people beat the hell out of her verbally

25:48

speaking, but it's so unholy

25:51

and impure to even hear a different

25:53

point of view.

25:54

We won't have it on our.

25:55

And our sacred airwaves.

25:57

Sacred airwaves.

25:59

I mean, that is a rigidity

26:01

and a bubbly existence

26:04

that just I don't get.

26:07

Well.

26:07

I wouldn't sign up for that. I mean, I would

26:09

say, look, are you gonna have me on these shows? And then four

26:12

people just attack me for the entire segment.

26:14

I don't want to do that. If you want to hear what

26:17

half of the country thinks about a particular issue,

26:19

I could do that for you. And I don't know if she had

26:21

those conversations with those people. I actually didn't

26:24

watch the interview with her on Meet the Press because I didn't.

26:26

I wasn't interested. I don't I don't care

26:28

what the RNC for R and C chair says

26:30

about anything.

26:31

Right right, But again, the business model

26:33

of NBC, and especially in NBC

26:36

is to just harp on Trump is

26:39

Satan or Hitler. Some days he's more Satan,

26:41

he's sometimes more hitlerish, uh,

26:43

and that we are the good people on the left,

26:45

and there will be no discussion

26:48

of those key premises.

26:50

You know, this reminds

26:52

me of what was the name of the book you've all then

26:54

wrote. Anyway, his whole

26:57

thesis was everybody

26:59

is standing on institutions

27:02

now and like and

27:04

criticizing them in a way that

27:06

didn't used to happen before. And

27:09

he used the example of Colin

27:14

Kaepernick, the football player, not

27:18

like just taking in. Okay, I'm part of this giant

27:21

institution, blah blah blah, fall in line,

27:23

follow the rules. I'm going to stand on that institution

27:25

and voice my displeasure.

27:27

And we've got so. And he was used a bunch of different

27:29

examples.

27:29

She got the the New

27:31

York Times newsroom that got people

27:34

fired because they weren't happy with what this. I

27:36

mean, you're what more privileged thing

27:38

could happen you get into journalism than you work for the

27:40

New York Times. But rather than like,

27:42

I'm you know, I'm gonna be part of this group, and maybe I'm

27:44

not happy with everything they do. Maybe I'll complain behind

27:46

the scenes blah blah blah, but no, I'm going to try

27:48

to tear them down because I don't like the way it is. And

27:52

that's happening over and over again in all kinds

27:54

of different ways.

27:55

Here's another one of them.

27:56

You had the hosts trying

27:58

to just take on NBC

28:01

and succeeding as opposed

28:03

to the people will run NBC saying well, if you don't

28:05

like.

28:05

It, don't work here. Yeah.

28:08

Yeah, the inmates running the asylums on

28:10

so many different levels. I think our

28:13

institutions.

28:15

That's another vote in favor of or

28:17

against our institutions.

28:18

Not clear to me.

28:20

The book you're thinking of as a Time to Build

28:22

by yuvolle Levin brilliant, brilliant.

28:25

But that that is happening a lot.

28:27

And like kids determining what

28:30

should happen in a schoolroom, And I

28:32

mean there are so many examples.

28:34

You're right, that's a good one. What happens a

28:36

good one.

28:37

A bunch of thirteen year olds demanding

28:39

what should be and should not be taught and done.

28:43

And more than should probably happen. Kids

28:45

telling parents what needs to happen in the family.

28:48

So what how did this all get stood on

28:50

its head? What was the impetus for

28:52

this? But it is all

28:54

around us?

28:55

That question would require at

28:57

least one more book, if not two, for

29:00

an answer.

29:01

Huh. I'll be darned well.

29:04

The definition of conservatism

29:08

is, well, there are several, but a decent

29:10

one would be.

29:12

You don't tear down what works

29:15

unless.

29:15

You got a damned good idea of

29:17

how it's gonna work out. And everybody

29:20

just is for tearing down

29:22

everything because surely what comes

29:25

next will be better. Well,

29:27

take a quick glance at history. That's often

29:29

not the case. In fact, it's almost always

29:32

not the case.

29:33

I don't know how many people are gonna resonate

29:35

with this particular story where you're just talking about. I

29:37

don't know how many people even know what happened. But

29:40

if there is any lasting impact,

29:42

it helps Trump. If there's any lasting impact,

29:44

I think because all the people that were angry

29:46

about are being on NBC already were.

29:50

Yeah.

29:51

I think Middle America would look at that and say those

29:53

people are nuts.

29:54

Yeah, they won't even have one Trump person

29:56

on there to talk about what half the country wants

29:58

to hear.

30:00

Libor waves.

30:01

That's a good point there. There's a liberal

30:03

on every panel on like Fox

30:06

News shows at least.

30:08

Right, I can't imagine ever saying our

30:10

sacred airwaves or anything like.

30:12

That, our sacred airwaves.

30:14

That's hilarious, all right.

30:16

You can weigh in text line four one five

30:18

two nine five kftc Armstrong

30:21

and Getty.

30:26

For the first time in more than twenty years, Trader

30:28

Joe's increased the price of its nineteen

30:31

cent bananas to twenty three

30:33

cents. Oh yeah,

30:35

it's not just them. Whole Foods also

30:37

raised the price of the bananas four cents to twenty

30:40

nine to ninety nine.

30:45

It took me a second. That's pretty funny.

30:47

So the Trader Joe's banana is a thing, Michael,

30:49

I didn't know that, not very much.

30:51

So, yeah, I'm not right.

30:52

I got a Trader's Joe's just down the street for me,

30:54

and I'm almost never in there because I don't have

30:56

the kind of food I like, which is highly processed,

30:58

bad for you crap.

31:01

You can purchase a banana in every grocery

31:03

store in America. What is it about Trader Joe's. It's

31:05

just the price or what just the price.

31:07

It's like the Costco hot dog. They've kept it that price

31:09

for twenty years.

31:10

They were hanging on to an item that was ridiculously

31:13

cheap, like the Costco hot dog, and it's just kind of a

31:15

you know, a branding thing. But

31:18

they couldn't hold on to it any longer. Whole

31:21

foods thirty bucks for a banana?

31:24

Are there any food available

31:27

on planet Earth that combines

31:29

deliciousness with satisfying

31:32

your hunger and inexpensiveness

31:36

better than the banana? Is there anything

31:39

available that surpasses the humble banana?

31:42

How nutritious is a banana? Though?

31:44

I feel like I'm doing the right thing. I mean, you know, it's

31:46

not a whole bunch of sugar in it and fat

31:48

and all that sort of stuff that I don't want.

31:50

But is there much nutrition

31:53

in a banana? There's some

31:55

don't don't drop the P word on me. Potassium

31:58

jack, You know your potassium,

32:02

all right?

32:04

So I was reading more about this sleep study is speaking

32:06

of health and

32:09

how you actually feel older

32:11

when you don't get enough sleep by quite a few

32:14

years.

32:14

And they did a big study of.

32:15

People between the ages of eighteen

32:18

and seventy, actually breaking it down by

32:20

different age groups, asking you how

32:22

old they felt after two days with nine

32:24

hours of sleep. God, two days

32:26

of nine hours of sleep. I haven't had two days with nine hours

32:28

of sleep in a row in maybe

32:31

forty years, I

32:33

can't even imagine. And compared

32:35

with two days with only four hours of sleep per

32:37

night. Now I've done that one hundred

32:40

times in the last time. How

32:42

many years? But you

32:44

feel multiple years older

32:48

as opposed to the people felt

32:51

three months younger after a good night's sleep.

32:53

I don't. I don't have a dial that's at that

32:55

accurate. I can't.

32:57

I definitely feel multiple years older

33:00

after I don't get enough sleep. I couldn't tell you I feel

33:02

three months younger when I get a good night's sleep,

33:04

though my calibration isn't that perfect.

33:06

I feel like I feel like I did back in

33:08

December. Yet

33:10

that hell the

33:13

hell is that I feel three months younger.

33:16

I haven't felt this good since last October

33:18

the eight.

33:20

But what how do you I

33:22

do?

33:24

You don't actually know what you're gonna feel

33:26

like in five years, so the idea

33:28

that we have a perception of I feel five years

33:31

older is kind of interesting.

33:33

This sounds like the sort of quibbling I would do. But

33:35

you made an excellent point there. How do you know

33:38

I don't feel like I'm eighty?

33:39

You don't know that nose right,

33:41

But.

33:41

That's the first thing I thought yesterday after several

33:43

days in a row of not getting enough sleep, as I was coming into

33:46

work, walking from the car, I thought, jeez, I

33:48

feel like I'm seventy five years old,

33:50

and I don't actually even know what that means. But I

33:52

wonder if we intuitively kind of do.

33:53

I don't know. Wow, another

33:56

interesting idea.

33:57

You're on a roll. Now you're gonna think I'm kiddy.

33:59

I have some fascinating information on

34:02

the nutritional value of bananas.

34:03

Okay, at my fingertips. Fantastic.

34:05

Now mildly interesting is

34:07

the nutritional you know, the

34:09

values like any label, the

34:12

carbs and sugar and that sort of thing.

34:15

It's fair amount of carbs, twelve

34:17

plus grams of sugar, it's all natural sugar,

34:20

obviously, some fiber and yeah, some

34:22

good potassium in there and that sort of thing. But

34:24

here's the part that I found really really interesting.

34:28

The main component of unripe

34:30

bananas is starch. Green bananas

34:32

contain up to eighty percent starch measured in dry

34:34

weight. During ripening, the starch is converted

34:36

into sugars and ends up being

34:39

less than one percent when the banana is fully

34:41

ripe. It's sugar

34:43

content changes as

34:46

it ripens. I don't worry about fruit sugar. If

34:48

you do, go ahead, I think I don't believe

34:50

that at all. But so, but

34:52

where when is it the most healthy? Do I want

34:54

more starch? Sure

34:57

you do, Jack, No, I don't know.

35:00

I don't honestly know. I

35:02

got a lot of vitamin B six in there, which

35:04

is one of.

35:05

Your better vines.

35:05

Even if you told me I'm going to eat my banana when

35:08

it's when

35:10

it's there, I mean

35:12

I can't. I don't have the ability

35:14

to have the perfectly right banana at

35:16

my hand.

35:16

Is it all time? Oh? But when you

35:18

do, you know you got life licked.

35:21

My son likes him when they're green. He likes

35:23

with to pict the really green ones and loves that flavor.

35:25

I hate that flavor. It's like my least favorite

35:27

flavor.

35:29

Yeah,
