00:02:07.760
show so make sure to check that out as well pat i've been talking about the absolute and utter
00:02:12.860
catastrophe that is cnn plus i think and we were trying to come up with a comparison
00:02:19.920
what is the greatest consumer catastrophe of all time you know media catastrophe quibi was an example
00:02:28.800
we talked about last that lasted seven times as long as cnn yeah many months and actually had some
00:02:35.060
good shows there were some good like the the reno 9-1-1 reboot they did on that was really funny
00:02:40.220
i gotta say it was actually really good they had some good shows on quibi it just was way too much
00:02:44.580
money on a project that didn't make much sense when everyone was locked down to their homes
00:02:48.240
yeah you know you couldn't watch when quibi launched you were not able to watch it on television
00:02:53.120
it was so specific for people who were out and about at the grocery store you know watching their
00:02:58.380
phones did they fix that during they eventually did try to do it but you know after it was already
00:03:03.660
a failure so did you have quibi i did actually did have it sounds like you had it yeah it was good
00:03:07.560
i mean well it wasn't good but there were a couple shows that were good okay and a couple funny shows
00:03:13.320
a couple good ideas it would have been an interesting thing to see played out to the end to see what they
00:03:18.780
could have done with it yeah um but you know that but again there's that there's uh pets.com back in
00:03:24.780
2000 that was a spectacular failure but that lasted i think it was 262 days much longer much longer
00:03:32.540
than uh cnn plus uh and i can't we talked about new coke oh new coke again new coke lasted 17 years
00:03:40.720
kind of a success in comparison oh totally a success in comparison i mean really the only thing that
00:03:45.900
they the only mistake they made with new coke was taking coke classic which was actually just coke back
00:03:50.600
then but taking coke classic off the market and people got annoyed that they took away the thing they
00:03:55.220
liked people didn't get annoyed for example diet coke was out and it was been out forever and they
00:04:01.020
introduced coke zero people weren't like damn you why did you introduce the new option for me
00:04:06.840
like people people don't mind that like they just don't like you taking away the old thing yeah it
00:04:11.100
didn't make any sense to take it away this is unless it was really a marketing ploy right i kind of
00:04:15.540
suspect all along yeah that that's what it was there is that theory out there that this was actually
00:04:19.940
because it works so well i mean the the sales of classic coke actually increased a lot when they brought
00:04:27.160
it back so you think that might happen with cnn plus like people would be like so upset cnn plus
00:04:31.400
went away that they might that vibe they might go back to regular cnn i'm not getting that i don't
00:04:37.220
think so either so i'm fascinated by this now there is some new analysis about this that maybe you have
00:04:43.400
not heard from brian stelter who works at cnn and was one of the centerpieces of cnn plus right just to
00:04:50.880
make to be clear one of the centerpieces of cnn plus was brian stelter now look brian i don't think
00:04:57.820
you're gonna make him a centerpiece no because he sucks it's just not a thing you're gonna do he's
00:05:01.920
terrible now chris wallace was another person they brought over which again i'm not very excited about
00:05:06.720
that either no i mean chris wallace i didn't watch him at fox why would i watch him at cnn plus but like
00:05:11.520
the people at cnn probably did like chris wallace because he was the one guy over at fox in their
00:05:17.500
perception who would occasionally say critical things about republicans right so maybe you could
00:05:23.500
understand him being a part but again as the centerpiece and he was i mean it seemed like
00:05:28.680
their strategy with chris wallace was like let's have him interview william shatner like all right
00:05:34.100
okay yeah and didn't he make a statement kind of like yeah i don't want to do politics anymore
00:05:38.620
right which is like well wait that's what you're you're known for so it was again a catastrophe from the
00:05:44.560
start but brian stelter had some perspective on this and i hadn't really thought of it this way
00:05:51.360
i have to admit that i mean because i thought this is a complete failure and uh everything we know about
00:05:57.000
it is a failure it's one of the greatest it's just a question is is it number one or number two on the
00:06:00.980
list are we forgetting something from like the 1700s or something that could compare to this i don't know
00:06:06.400
what it could be but brian stelter wants you to make sure you're taking your time in in in how you
00:06:12.620
think about cnn plus and whether it was a positive or a negative have you seen anything like this
00:06:18.660
happen before in the media business no i mean no and first of all i think i'm making history right
00:06:25.240
now i've never been on a program talking about the demise of that program well we probably have more
00:06:32.500
viewers now than ever before because there's so much curiosity and uh let me try out a theory on
00:06:39.960
well let me try out a theory on which is it's too early to know if this product or this service was
00:06:45.920
a success or a failure right you know you got all the haters today saying this thing was a failure
00:06:50.120
i don't know if you can even ever assess that because it just simply didn't have enough time
00:06:54.360
because of the management change in direction and at the end of the day if you buy something if you
00:06:59.580
buy a giant media company you get to do whatever you want with it but it does mean there's a lot
00:07:04.140
of suffering uh because for employees and frankly disappointment among subscribers as a result just
00:07:09.560
too early to tell that's all could know well you can't know you know i don't know i mean it lasted
00:07:14.820
less than 30 days or about 30 days uh who can know if that's a success or a failure yeah and i i said
00:07:21.540
maybe unfairly that it didn't even last a month technically it did last one month and one day
00:07:26.300
yeah uh or will it's not even completely done yet they canceled it long before a month i mean it
00:07:32.300
wasn't even close to a month when they canceled it but they did they're playing out the string until i
00:07:36.540
think april 30th so it isn't i guess it technically lasted a month and a day but i don't know i feel like
00:07:44.280
when you when your service has already after three weeks been disintegrated it's possible that is a
00:07:51.960
failure you don't need more time to assess it like it's not in like 20 in the year 2387 people
00:07:57.460
are gonna be looking back and be like you know that's cnn plus you guys just take a look at what
00:08:00.360
happened there i think that was a success huge they had 10 000 people watch it 10 000 and i i will
00:08:08.720
say this i don't believe that number i don't even i don't believe 150 000 people no way subscribe to
00:08:15.180
it i don't believe they even had 150 000 total let alone paid the wall street journal has already
00:08:21.720
come out and said they have insider information uh that it was less than 100 000 and i agree with
00:08:27.240
that i believe it was less i believe i think it's less than 50 000 here's my my theory they said 150
00:08:34.060
000 people subscribe to this thing i think it's closer to 150 okay like i mean 150 not 150 000
00:08:41.960
yeah 100 not 1500 150 now it might be higher than employees of cnn right it was brian stelter and
00:08:51.060
chris wallace and their families yes i don't believe that number for a freaking second now that
00:08:56.280
number would still be a catastrophe if you spent 300 million dollars on the product and had a billion
00:09:00.920
dollars to spend over four years you'd still be disappointed in 150 000 or 150 000 subscribers but
00:09:06.760
like i don't buy that for a second and 10 000 subscribers or 10 000 people watching video maybe
00:09:14.660
over the course of an entire day maybe maybe and i think that's what they were talking about
00:09:18.900
wasn't it 10 000 people a day a couple different ways streamed it is what i read that's so that's
00:09:25.080
bad bad really bad again they don't have people watching their main product you know if you have
00:09:33.100
a main product with a massive amount of viewers and you want to you want to have like you know fox
00:09:39.580
fox and fox nation for example i don't know i don't know how how well fox nation does but it's been in
00:09:44.540
business for multiple years i mean we could say that but you know they have fox fox news channel
00:09:50.620
which is a big channel with lots of viewers and they kind of have this big idea and then they
00:09:54.700
advertise fox nation all the time they say hey come listen to additional commentary from you know
00:09:58.840
whatever tucker carlson or whoever and you know i'm sure if people and people do i'm sure they do at
00:10:03.960
some level certainly much more than cnn plus yeah oh yeah and probably cnn regular and this thing has
00:10:15.460
just i look there are people you know look there's people who do you know they they are electricians
00:10:23.020
who work on the show and then people who run i don't know the cameras on the show and like you know
00:10:27.140
these there are people who are going to get hurt by this and it sucks and for them you know i mean it
00:10:30.740
they lured people out of really good jobs to come to cnn plus with the promise they were going to run
00:10:36.740
this thing and that's completely irresponsible by the people who did it what do you do if you're
00:10:41.740
chris wallace and you left a really good job to go over there and be their featured person at cnn plus
00:10:48.220
and now it's gone now wallace they'll probably stick somewhere on cnn right they will i thought
00:10:52.780
the rumors are going to put him at nine with uh brian williams i've heard that and that's a that's kind of
00:10:59.440
an amazing that is admission in some ways but then he can't do his own thing he's not even strong
00:11:06.620
enough they don't even trust him to do to do a newscast for an hour on the primetime cnn which has
00:11:13.880
85 viewers as opposed to 10 which is just it's an amazing thing but i mean okay worst case for chris
00:11:20.640
wallace he probably goes and it's just like a contributor and comments on years of the day or
00:11:25.120
whatever yeah you know a lot of these people left stable jobs and remember cnn knew this merger
00:11:32.500
was coming and they knew discovery didn't want it discovery was saying it publicly on in the media
00:11:38.780
that they didn't want this thing and they questioned whether it had utility it didn't and so these people
00:11:44.760
you know should have probably seen that coming but if they didn't they left good jobs to come over
00:11:49.060
to this you know disastrous cnn plus and they're going to be out on the street which is a completely
00:11:56.340
irresponsible thing for cnn to do is it a disaster though i think it's too soon to tell you think
00:12:01.100
yeah i do yeah i probably jumped the gun on that one okay i loved the twitter responses to brian
00:12:06.880
stelter over the weekend where they where they had uh a flaming hindenburg and said it's it's really
00:12:13.360
too soon to tell if dirigibles are a good form of transportation
00:12:18.760
should hydrogen be what makes it float who knows uh who knows who knows i mean is it a little bit
00:12:27.340
combustible yes but it's too soon too soon to tell really whether it's too dangerous we don't know yet
00:12:32.760
it's on the ground in flames it's a oh it's already there everybody aboard was killed yeah i i think it's
00:12:43.060
i just feel like it's time safe to say let's make the call
00:12:46.240
i mean we have a phrase oh the humanity already people know the phrase and it's specifically
00:12:54.980
around this i gotta say which one is worse the hindenburg or cnn plus you have to say the
00:13:01.700
hindenburg i don't think that was its first flight i think it had a bunch of successful flights before
00:13:06.440
that it did if i remember the history correctly yeah yeah i mean it had a run there was plenty of
00:13:11.300
hydrogen ships that got up there and were fine i mean they they adjusted the plan later and blimps
00:13:17.700
to this day still exist very true you know we see them over every football game in the nfl yeah
00:13:23.340
so they they switch the formula up a little bit
00:13:26.460
but i do you think cnn is going to switch up their formula when they learn that no one cares about what
00:13:32.600
they're doing no no they're going to continue to i don't know maybe discovery is done with brian
00:13:39.200
stelter at least and maybe the rest of the lineup too the rumor is that the the opinion people are
00:13:45.960
going to go by the end of spring they say the the opinion people are gone that would be really a
00:13:51.200
welcome change wouldn't it you know oh man it's just it really would be i thought of this when the
00:13:56.840
ukraine russia thing broke out it would be really nice to have a network where we could go to trust
00:14:02.960
some of the information yeah you know i mean look i is there are a lot of places i like and look and
00:14:07.620
trust but like you know we don't the blaze doesn't have reporters on the ground in ukraine like but
00:14:11.900
that's not the type of organization we are uh you know it would be nice if somebody if there was
00:14:16.360
someone out there who did that and did it responsibly yeah maybe cnn can recapture that
00:14:21.240
somehow or capture it for the first time well there was a time when they were that yeah you know in
00:14:27.120
the 80s it was always left early 90s you know they they were always left leaning but like when
00:14:30.940
when the first iraq war broke out like they had pretty good coverage all you had to do was everyone
00:14:36.760
was watching cnn yeah that's it was your only option yeah people were glued to it even though
00:14:42.880
you knew yeah sometimes they would go they would take a left-wing position on things and it was still
00:14:47.940
mainstream media i mean you still had that but at least nothing like today yeah at least you believe
00:14:53.300
that the video they were showing was real yeah at this point i don't even know if you could do that
00:14:56.780
on cnn i'm gonna say no okay you can't do that yeah but it's again it's too early to judge too early
00:15:02.860
yeah way too that's the that's the summary of this hour it's too early to judge cnn plus could be
00:15:07.300
successful it may in in time be viewed as a massive success that's possible it's very you know very
00:15:14.060
possible if 150 uh subscribers can be viewed as a success yeah what is that like it's like 1500
00:15:20.760
a month that they know it's like five bucks a month oh it's only oh that's right yeah in fact they cut
00:15:26.280
it to three they cut it to three so so it's uh 4500 a month which is you know not bad not bad not bad
00:15:35.040
i mean you could pay you could pay you get a one bedroom in new york for that you know it's so great
00:15:49.400
we're talking about this uh california abortion law which allows abortion anytime during the
00:16:06.160
pregnancy as most abortion laws do now uh at least in blue states uh red states are starting to
00:16:14.240
fight back against that um but in the blue states you can't you can't be a democrat anymore and say
00:16:23.840
yeah abortion should be safe rare and legal safe and rare because they they don't care about rare
00:16:31.660
anymore and they don't they don't care when it happens anymore it could happen as the baby is
00:16:37.040
being born that's the partial birth part rare has gone the way of cnn plus it is it is no longer a
00:16:43.560
thing yeah and they're kind of proud of it or say well if it should be if it's safe and legal why
00:16:48.420
should we worry about rare yeah they want to be more common yeah safe legal and common is their new
00:16:54.060
and i don't even know safe they don't seem to care about much of that either honestly certainly not
00:16:58.360
for the baby yeah they don't care about the safety of the baby at all the only thing they care about
00:17:02.480
is legal just let it happen anytime anywhere you know we should we should have abortion clinics inside
00:17:08.960
7-elevens um because it should be that convenient it should really be just whenever they please but
00:17:16.960
in california they're passing this law of about uh um perinatal abortions which
00:17:26.740
allow the baby to die seven days after birth very strange so savannah hernandez went out on the street
00:17:35.740
asking people about this new law and what their thoughts were so basically like if they have their
00:17:41.480
baby they can neglect them for seven days and if the baby dies then they can't be held criminally
00:17:46.720
liable what do you think yeah i think whatever like helps women and yeah helps them achieve their
00:17:53.400
like dreams and what that needs to like happen it's definitely like acts to help that is helping
00:17:59.440
all of us amen so i prefer that most women make their decisions at eight weeks okay but if uh-huh but
00:18:05.660
i'm also in support of 10 months out of the womb so you think babies should be aborted 10 months after
00:18:11.200
they're born if if the mother wants to yes i think them kids so if like you want to get a late term abortion
00:18:20.340
like that's up to you you know i've had an abortion too and it's it's it was my choice and i'm happy i had that
00:18:26.200
choice i've had an abortion myself would you guys get an abortion again yes 100 times i do it multiple times
00:18:33.240
me too until i feel that i'm ready to parent um that's a choice i'll continue to make huh wow that's
00:18:38.760
great i had 22 abortions last week pat did you really yeah 21 week yeah and now i'm really happy
00:18:44.780
about 21 of them you should maybe be a little more careful is that too much is that too much for me to
00:18:50.280
ask uh pardon me is that is that too much to ask it is wow i yeah i'm sorry wow i can't believe you
00:18:57.060
even said that publicly don't be careful i've just changed my mind thank you don't be careful
00:19:02.100
get pregnant as many times as you want yeah not careful care less right care less about your
00:19:09.780
that's what we need to encourage in this society more carelessness that's the that's the uh i love
00:19:17.020
that because that when they say the don't say gay bill and you know there are they people oppose this
00:19:21.660
bill and in the bill specifically it says age appropriate conversations so to oppose the bill
00:19:27.320
you are outwardly asking for age inappropriate conversations the the conversations must be
00:19:34.680
inappropriate for the age for your view of that bill uh if you're on the left the same thing here
00:19:41.160
like if you if you say to someone what if you're more careful maybe don't do the activity yeah or
00:19:48.300
protect yourself before you do activity take some precaution i don't know there's pills for that
00:19:52.900
there's pills there's condoms there's all sorts of things yes prophylactics all sorts of things
00:19:57.260
there's all sorts of ways to make sure this this does not occur if you would not like it to occur
00:20:01.220
uh that that no that don't involve tearing the baby apart in the womb yeah i it just seems like a
00:20:08.000
basic step and you know i understand uh sometimes the world can be a complicated place however encouraging
00:20:15.380
the opposite of being careful which would be to encourage someone to be careless is an odd choice
00:20:22.340
for what we are supposed to believe is the responsible side of an argument yeah well could
00:20:28.760
this have been precipitated by a guy who once said i'm gonna teach my children i got a two daughters
00:20:35.900
nine years old and six years old i'm gonna teach them principles but if they make a mistake i don't want
00:20:42.620
them punished with a baby i don't want them punished with an std at 16 well didn't you kind of set
00:20:51.340
things up there for people to feel that way about being punished with a baby now they they consider
00:20:57.120
it a punishment that they just don't want to deal with and so they just eliminated from their life
00:21:04.020
it's incredible it really is incredible and this law goes even much much farther much than this you
00:21:10.700
know talking about you know and savannah who you know was was was here with us at the place
00:21:15.260
very nice and thoughtful person who's trying to actually get answers on these questions
00:21:21.020
and just asking questions you know i you know if you've never seen savannah she's young
00:21:27.420
she is she's not an old white man right uh and that is of course old white men have no no knowledge
00:21:34.160
and we should obviously get rid of all of them from society she's not one of them so we should
00:21:38.040
never comment no of course not abortion no pregnancy at all obviously not at all she uh comes you know
00:21:44.960
it's a different package the people talking her don't think she might be on the conservative side
00:21:50.740
of the aisle they don't really consider that so they right they're not their guard isn't up they're
00:21:55.040
just answering the questions as they feel yeah i had an abortion it was great i freaking loved it
00:21:59.540
i would recommend everybody have about 10 to 12 abortions per month
00:22:03.420
if you can do it i highly recommend it that's the attitude from some of these people and you know
00:22:11.340
is there no limit what is the limiting principle pat to the argument of women's choice what is the
00:22:19.240
limiting principle of that argument to me there isn't one there isn't one now that's a problem i mean
00:22:25.260
like like the guy said uh he prefers that you only get abort an abortion within the first eight weeks
00:22:32.660
but he also supports 10 months after birth right 10 if if the mother wants that right he is not
00:22:44.720
advocating that the dad should have any no but if the mother wants to kill the child she may yeah
00:22:51.820
after 10 months now i don't know why the 10 months barrier why not a year two years why not why not now
00:22:59.880
why not with why not his parent right now right this is the problem with this argument if his mother
00:23:06.820
wants right if his mother to abort him like if his mother decided you know you know who sucks is my
00:23:12.780
stupid kid who i just saw on television 28 years old and he's the dumbest person alive if you this is
00:23:19.400
radio but if you saw his haircut you could understand an abortion request from mommy at this point even at
00:23:25.280
28 years old he he's got the dumbest haircut i've ever seen in my life and that guy that guy maybe you
00:23:34.820
know there's an argument to be made if mommy has a choice yeah that maybe he should be aborted at 28
00:23:41.900
years old and honestly when you when you adopt the left wing view of this particular issue why why not you
00:23:51.300
why not it's the mommy's choice the kid doesn't get rights till when whenever you're saying it is
00:23:57.940
it's arbitrary yeah right at least we had a line of the birth canal before where we could say okay
00:24:05.460
you know kermit gosnell we're gonna put him in prison because he kept killing people after they
00:24:11.340
were born right that used to be there was a time way back in like 2016 where we agreed with this
00:24:17.840
at least we could acknowledge okay there's peter singer out there he's a an ethicist at princeton
00:24:23.100
there was a few people out there who would argue for abortion years after birth but it was pretty
00:24:28.260
rare now it's not it's not it's becoming more and more common because of course when you say the
00:24:34.200
fundamental foundational truth of this argument when it comes to abortion is mother's choice
00:24:39.520
there's no limit to that as long as mommy's alive how do you how do you draw this line
00:24:47.180
how do you draw the line of it's mommy's choice so mommy gets to abort the fetus it's mommy's choice
00:24:55.860
and we have no respect for life anymore just none and we people these obviously these kids
00:25:04.500
are so desensitized to human life that they don't care anymore and they don't care you can put this you
00:25:12.000
could see too they've put no thought into it even the people who have had abortions have put no thought
00:25:16.440
of this and it's because they know the standard comeback to any given argument about abortion is
00:25:22.920
well if the mom wants it and that gets you off the hook for no matter what you say yeah you'd be
00:25:27.060
like well you know wait a minute but uh that that woman was a dictator she committed genocide
00:25:31.280
well yeah but she was the mother of the country the mom wanted it mother's choice they'll justify
00:25:36.120
anything through that lens because of course when it's arbitrary choice by a person you can justify
00:25:42.460
anything right you could justify anything through that lens you know what was the case back in
00:25:47.600
houston you'll remember this pat where the mom drowned five other kids in the bathtub yeah andrea yates oh
00:25:53.080
my god it was one of the worst stories i've ever heard horrific and but like why would a leftist
00:25:59.200
oppose it why would the people in that video oppose that her treatment in that story it was
00:26:06.020
today i don't know that they would i don't know they would you just say you know well look you
00:26:11.200
know she made a choice there you know she was the oldest was seven if i remember right so i i don't
00:26:19.020
know if they would oppose that do you think we could get an on like an on record statement from
00:26:26.920
like an aoc that to oppose that case right now do you think she would do you think do you think she
00:26:33.460
would say something to the effect of look it might not be my choice right but i'm not going to affect
00:26:38.300
her choice i'm not going to affect her choice she's the mom yeah she gets to tell her uh what choice to
00:26:43.520
make there i don't know she was stark raving mad if uh you might want to right affect that choice if
00:26:50.520
we are not at that point we are close to it yeah yeah we are but we are close to it they are they're
00:26:56.200
passing just when you think it can't get any worse it does it gets worse i never would have thought
00:27:02.940
we'd get to a point where people would be saying 10 months after a birth of a of a human being
00:27:10.780
that you can end their life if the mother wants it would you have ever thought that that was possible
00:27:18.160
i never just a few years ago i mean other than like you said peter singer who has been saying this
00:27:24.440
nonsense for a while but nobody took him seriously at first apparently they are now yeah it's similar
00:27:29.640
to the crt thing you know crt bubbled up in people like you know people the equivalent of peter singer
00:27:34.900
you know at institutions for a long time it sat there for a long time growing and manifesting itself
00:27:41.220
as they taught generation after generation this nonsensical ideology and now here we are
00:27:49.680
right like now we're at the point where something uh pretty drastic has changed where now that
00:27:56.640
philosophy that was just in colleges is now being taught to your elementary school kids
00:28:01.340
because their teachers went to college and learned it back 20 30 40 years ago and we're seeing this
00:28:09.840
beginnings of that i think now with with this extreme abortion and abortion argument and the only
00:28:15.980
positive thing out of it is that it does highlight the craziness of the left in a way that maybe you
00:28:21.340
couldn't you know people when when the argument was okay well but free viability maybe it's okay
00:28:28.800
but we frown upon it we want to make it as rare as possible that argument i think makes sense to
00:28:33.600
some people it doesn't make sense to me i will say but it makes sense to some people uh i don't think
00:28:39.200
the argument of we can kill babies after they're born makes a sense to a lot of people only the extreme
00:28:43.320
left and i hope that's true because if it's not we are we're lost pat we're lost it's over
00:28:49.040
no question the civilization is is over if people can't recognize that
00:28:52.840
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:28:58.800
on friday joe biden said something interesting about the future of the u.s military
00:29:14.460
i'm not convinced this is something we should focus on but here's what he had to say
00:29:21.620
in the united states military every vehicle is going to be climate friendly every vehicle
00:29:29.100
no i mean it yeah yeah billions of dollars to do it but every vehicle is going to be climate friendly
00:29:40.200
i don't care about that what i care about is that the u.s military and i bet they do too
00:29:46.180
uh has the best equipment available to them better than anybody else's equipment at any
00:29:52.180
any cost to the climate yeah whatever it's not something whatever even considering when thinking
00:29:57.060
about the military now hopefully we don't have to use them asinine but yeah that's not like that's
00:30:01.660
not a by the way watching the video was he aware he was facing away from the podium
00:30:05.700
probably not probably not as it just seemed like he was just now i know there was people standing
00:30:11.640
back there but yeah i was i'm hoping that he heard a question from back there and he turned around
00:30:16.800
because if not we're even deeper down this uh this this problem area watch him again and and pay
00:30:23.160
attention to that because i'm pretty sure nobody says anything to him but in the united states
00:30:29.580
military yeah every vehicle is going to be why are you telling them no i mean no he means it he's
00:30:38.040
not joking billions of dollars to do it he spent billions of dollars literally not a concern not a
00:30:44.740
concern you know the one thing that when you think about the constitutional limitations of government
00:30:49.540
the one thing that they actually should be doing is a military they should have a military to protect
00:30:55.400
the country okay and in addition to uh to that minor detail uh the when you want the government to do
00:31:04.500
something you have to ask yourself a fundamental question do i care about inefficiency and i mean
00:31:11.680
that sincerely like there are things we want the government to do but if you can clear that basic
00:31:18.460
hurdle in that you don't care about inefficiency the government might have a role like for example
00:31:25.400
uh it would be inefficient to store let's say tens of thousands of ventilators right for no use
00:31:37.080
right however when a pandemic occurs it would be great to have them so you might be okay with the
00:31:44.340
inefficiency uh-huh no one can make money no business can be like you know what i'm gonna make
00:31:49.380
some money i'm gonna just store some ventilators for about 15 years until pandemic might happen right
00:31:53.520
there's no way to it's there's no way to make that into a business model so maybe the government
00:31:57.860
steps in and has some of these around now of course they tried to do that and failed so even even when
00:32:03.880
you are okay with inefficiency they'll probably screw it up but if you can embrace inefficiency
00:32:10.040
it might be okay for the government to be involved if there are no other constitutional concerns the
00:32:17.280
military is a great example of this i am completely fine with the government blowing through a billion
00:32:24.820
dollars trying to come up with a new weapon system oh yeah totally fine with it i i actually
00:32:31.100
encourage them to try take billions of dollars and try a bunch of different crazy stuff that you
00:32:38.100
think might turn into an incredible weapon system to defend us that is an okay use of taxpayer dollars
00:32:43.780
in my my opinion it is okay to spend money training soldiers for wars they may never fight
00:32:51.940
right i am fine with that make them really strong give them the best weapons make them the best
00:32:58.140
military on earth and hopefully that leads to a complete waste of money because they never fight a war
00:33:06.400
this idea is incredibly stupid the last thing you should worry about when talking about defending
00:33:16.360
your country is an impossibly small percentage of global emissions right impossibly small to the
00:33:24.800
electric tanks let's not worry about electric tanks never think about it never think of it
00:33:30.060
never think of it especially when an electric car will only go 275 miles on a charge right my tank
00:33:39.180
i want that to go as far as it needs to yeah and without stopping overnight and charging it for 12 hours
00:33:51.020
exactly you know you if you know what if it's efficient and let's say the electric because they usually do
00:33:58.440
the electric vehicle costs much more however you found that it was a better way for a tank to operate
00:34:04.720
and it'll last longer all of the money on that yeah i mean yeah like if right now we don't have that
00:34:10.200
that's not possible for example one of the things we've done is come up with nuclear submarines
00:34:14.820
right because we now that is not that's not an efficient nuclear submarine how could that possibly be
00:34:22.440
because we don't care about efficiency when you're defending the country you take efficiency
00:34:27.800
and you throw it in the in the in the garbage you don't recycle it you throw it directly into the
00:34:32.600
trash you don't think about it now look we that doesn't mean waste money on nothing no when you're
00:34:37.860
spending six hundred dollars for a toilet seat that's that's the dumb but it should be at some
00:34:43.960
level expected this is why you don't turn over large portions of your economy to the government
00:34:49.000
because they're going to do things like that the military is going to buy six hundred dollar toilet
00:34:53.460
seats they are get used to it and you know i will of course if i'm in the military if i'm advising
00:34:59.720
military policy which shockingly enough at this point i am not but if i were i would advise against six
00:35:04.900
hundred dollar toilet seats however you have to go across that line item i might say you might say
00:35:09.460
not this one can we find like something a little cheaper than that right like i don't know 20 bucks
00:35:13.640
right is that possible but when they're like you know we are thinking we can't have like a hundred
00:35:18.000
million dollars try to bounce lasers off of stars yes yes you can have it yes a hundred yes here you
00:35:22.960
go here's your money bounce some lasers off of stars see if they'll come down in moscow i don't know
00:35:26.960
try it you know i mean like i when you're talking about the defense of the country you don't care
00:35:31.640
about these things and and when you talk about this is a it's remarkable people just don't think about
00:35:37.040
it when you're talking about cutting emissions the decisions they ask you to make won't make a
00:35:44.580
difference even if they're totally right on the science often conservatives will say wait a minute
00:35:50.420
well we quibble with you on this part of the science we quibble you with you on that part of
00:35:53.660
the science and that's important of course getting the science right is really important if you have a
00:35:57.500
you know a disagreement it's important to have that debate but like it's also important to realize
00:36:03.240
that if we lost like for example if our entire transportation sector not just cars not just your car but
00:36:11.480
cars trucks planes every our entire transportation sector went from what it is today to zero emissions
00:36:18.880
tomorrow we would cut something like four percent of global emissions and that percentage would be made
00:36:25.660
up by china within about two or three years so think of what a ridiculous standard that is turning
00:36:32.800
the transportation sector off not cutting its emissions not making it just our military use green
00:36:42.560
vehicles but turning our entire transportation sector off tomorrow would make basically no difference
00:36:50.520
that is how that's how grand a scale this this issue is it's not the type of issue you could say you
00:36:57.560
your personal sacrifice is a giant zilch it means nothing it is just a signal it is just a way to play
00:37:07.380
along to tell everyone who you are what you care about they are trying to influence not the climate but
00:37:15.220
your votes with this nonsense that is all it is it will not do anything you buying hybrids even you know
00:37:22.320
you know there's a lot of affinity for our our friend elon musk who who has done more to affect
00:37:28.360
uh this issue when it comes to the transportation sector than any individual human being and now the
00:37:33.340
left hates him we should point out that they obviously don't believe that global warming is the
00:37:39.540
singer single most dire existential threat to our country because obviously elon musk i mean the guys
00:37:47.660
tweeted a couple things we don't like so let's abandon him he's not he's not getting these aren't
00:37:52.240
union jobs pat so we don't care about his cutting of emissions but he's built an electric car company
00:37:57.360
and actually made it something that people want and he's built rockets that can eventually get us to
00:38:04.220
mars right because he thinks we're going to need to live there someday yes that's how seriously
00:38:08.780
believes in global warming right but honestly taking even all these cars and going to electric will make
00:38:15.780
no difference and this is not remember of course electric cars are not emission free they're built
00:38:20.200
on a on electricity that is that is largely coming from fossil fuels mostly natural gas but also some
00:38:26.760
coal and and oil and other items in addition to that there's a lot of emissions in the the process to
00:38:34.140
put these cars together that are almost never included but in addition to that there's the battery that
00:38:39.360
once it's done with its life cycle uh it's incredibly toxic to the earth and the number one supplier for
00:38:47.480
the nickel for these batteries comes from ukraine and russia so there's a lot of issues associated with
00:38:52.820
this that being said even if it was perfect and it really did cut all of these cars to zero it still
00:38:58.480
wouldn't do anything it wouldn't do anything to solve this problem even if their science is completely
00:39:03.620
right so it shows how ridiculous this conversation can be and to take what i just described described
00:39:10.000
the entire transportation sector going to zero emissions and think it should be a priority for
00:39:15.800
our military to worry about electric tanks it's got to be it is the most joe biden thing i've ever
00:39:22.380
heard in my life yeah just plain dumb dumb it's it's as if he is completely senile when it comes to
00:39:29.480
thinking of these things he i mean that's a good point because he kind of is he's it's kind of
00:39:35.800
completely senile i mean look at him on friday when he did another phantom handshake this is kind of
00:39:42.560
another another one yeah he offers his hand to the wall here in a second that help hello what do you
00:39:48.540
what are you doing what and now we watch he goes the wrong way because you're gonna see the secret
00:39:56.900
service agent which you never see follow him in there because he went the wrong way that's why
00:40:02.280
you see the secret service agent because he's going the wrong way so he turns around can we see
00:40:06.740
that one more time he turns around and offers his hand to the wall or something what what are you
00:40:13.280
doing hello and then he realizes and turns around and then goes and then goes the wrong way
00:40:20.600
and almost tripped i think it fell on his face and then the secret service and there's a secret
00:40:25.480
service oh my gosh you know i i i've been working on something pat a scientific project of sorts
00:40:30.840
uh-huh over the past few weeks for studios america my show by the way available uh on podcast
00:40:35.780
make sure to subscribe to it or on youtube.com slash studios america um it is uh a the uh joe biden gaffe
00:40:45.720
emotional triangle and i've decided to come up with this to understand the three types of feelings
00:40:53.600
and emotions you have after watching a joe biden gaffe there is funny there is uh fear
00:41:01.160
and there is sadness yes and and each gaffe has a different profile on this triangle and it's plotted
00:41:08.480
on this triangle to try to understand where it goes because sometimes i watch this and i'm like oh my gosh
00:41:12.980
what an idiot like that one that's kind of how i felt yeah it was just funny maybe a little sad not
00:41:17.680
necessarily scary when he says something about like hey we might just nuke moscow tomorrow that's
00:41:24.900
in the scary section and probably also sad not quite as funny you know these three distinct feelings you
00:41:32.120
feel when watching joe biden screw up on one of his 20 to 30 times a day you really need to under
00:41:38.500
to categorize them and i feel like we've had a a movement if we were to plot these these gaffes over
00:41:46.420
time we would see a movement towards scary i feel like we you know it was funny at first
00:41:51.680
then it got kind of sad and now it really is like especially with this war stuff i'm getting to the
00:41:57.680
point where i'm legitimately scared he's going to gaff us into world war three i am legitimately scared
00:42:03.380
of that absolutely could he almost has done it multiple times saying we had troops in in ukraine
00:42:09.080
right saying uh that it's okay a minor incursion probably won't do much of anything we probably
00:42:14.120
won't react to that and nato might not stick together there's gonna be a lot of disagreement
00:42:18.160
if they do anything um what was the other one there was another big one in there that i'm missing
00:42:22.500
it was right around the troop it was in that speech that he made in poland uh where he oh he uh regime
00:42:28.640
change in russia yeah where he basically seemed to change the u.s policy on the fly for regime change
00:42:34.680
he had another one where he was talking about gas prices and just blurted out another major change in
00:42:41.220
u.s policy this is like it's becoming an issue where vladimir putin's already not the most sane
00:42:48.680
person okay he's already doing things that are pretty erratic and we're giving him excuses to
00:42:54.420
justify that stuff to his own people he can play videos like when like what's his dumb justification
00:43:01.620
with the ukraine thing he's like oh well you know basically this is uh the united states and the west
00:43:07.800
aiding ukraine they want to come after us in russia let me show you the evidence of this here's joe
00:43:13.260
biden announcing 800 million dollars of arms coming to kill your children right russian citizens and
