Normally Podcast: Biden's Health and the Media's Blind Spot · Normally

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, we are that Colin and Normway the show with
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: normal it takes for when the news gets weird. I
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: am Mary Katherine ham Man.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I'm Carol Marcoiz, I'm Mary Catherine.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: How's it going, Hey, you know, I'm just learning all
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the breaking news still about Biden being sick and old
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and infirm and losing his mind and having cancer. Yeah.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Well, it's funny because the liberals who denied it for
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: so long are now coming to terms with the fact
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: that they lied about it, and they were lied to.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Let's say, let's give them that tiny, tiny benefit of
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the doubt, which I don't really believe. Then we have
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: in the Atlantic today a story Biden's age wasn't to
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: cover up. It was observable fact. And the argument goes
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: that the former president was old, deal with it. There's
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: nothing new here. I'm not entirely sure that's true.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Well, also, the logic is so circular. Sure, everyone in
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the industry whose job it is to tell you these
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: things are happening ignored it was happening even though it
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: was observable fact, asked no questions about it. Claims ignorance, which,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: by the way, if it was observable fact why are
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you so dumb? Not the guy who wrote this, actually,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: because he did write earlier about Biden being old and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: should he shouldn't run. But they then they used the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: fact that it's observable although it tricked most of them,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and they ignored it to say, well, the cover up
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter because it's not much of a cover up.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Of eighty percent of Americans understood. It's like it just
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it's so self serving and so nicsensical.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: But the twenty percent who didn't think that Biden was
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: too old to run are in the top echelon of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: our media.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: So that is a problem we do need to talk
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: about it. I also don't like about this piece now Leaviovich.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: This is Mark Leaviovich, who is a bit of like
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a man around type columnist. But the tone of this
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is you could read it in Lady Thistledown's voice, the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: near the voiceover from Bridgerton, like it is. It's like.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: For the latest chapter in this saga, we give thanks
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to a new book out today whose arrival has been
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: as hotly anticipated around Washington as a Sunday card at
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the Senior Home. It's vertically titled Original Sin, The Book
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that Seeing and host Jake Tapper and Axios's Alex Thompson
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: offers the latest after action report of the calamitous culmination
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of Biden's career. I mean, it's just the book depicts
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a kind of West wing Weekend at Bernie's, with Biden
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: playing the frail, prideful and self deluded leader. Well, yeah,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we've been making that joke for six years now.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Weekend at Bernie's is an overplayed joke at this point,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: because that's what it is.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Funny. It's like, there are I feel like a couple
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: of people in media in the left who like probably
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: saw that before, like right wing conspiracy mongering, and now
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: they're like, hardy horror, we will make the joke, Like
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: y'all are just the joke now got here? And Laimovich,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: due to his flippant tone, makes himself look bad when
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: he's a person who should get credit because he wrote
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: like three columns in The Atlantic saying this guy's too
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: old and shouldn't run.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he look, he gives himself the credit and the.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Piece, but like, how are you on the right side
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of this issue and still disgrace yourself on the coverage
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of this issue?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It's amazing it's really impressive, you.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Know, like it's not much of a cover up. I'm
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: just not that interested, like you guys are You guys
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: are like really freaking out about this.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Right right right? And of course there's the additional part
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: about the cancer, which it is. I mean, it has
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to be a cover up, is what everybody's coming down to.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Even people on the left are talking to doctors and saying,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: it's impossible that he just found out that he had
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: stage four cancer the day, you know that it became
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: super popular to talk about how how much covering up
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that White House did. It's just not possible.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Can I read you something from Please's original sin that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Anthony la Mesa flagged And this to me is like
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: so incredibly damning, particularly coming as it does the week
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of the prostate cancer diagnosis. This is about Bo. Bo's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: cancer treatment also demonstrated the Biden's capacity for denial and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the links they would go to to avoid transparency about
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: health issues, even when the person in question is an
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: elected official, in this case, the sitting Attorney General of Delaware.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: In summer twenty thirteen, Bo had surgery after collapsing during
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a vacation and a stage four tumor was removed from
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: his brain. Bo then started to do fewer public appearances,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: stopped doing like lengthy interviews, and appeared gaunt. Does any
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of this sound familiar? Despite all this, the Bidens didn't
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: disclose anything, and in November twenty thirteen, Bo toted a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: local reporter that he had a clean bill of health.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It goes on to say he would remain the sitting
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Attorney general of Delaware. He flew all over the country,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: presumably not doing his job during those periods of time
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to have experimental treatments. The then vice president lied about
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: where he was, Yeah, when he would fly to meet him.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Bo's wife, Hallie was arguing this family, saying, I don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: understand why we can't disclose this. It doesn't seem right.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But let me just if they were willing to do this, yeah,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to hold on to the attorney general position in Delaware,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: imagine what they were willing to do to hold on
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to the presidency. Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tell to tell.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're just running the same play, and the media
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: was happy to run the play with them several times.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that media was so fine with doing that.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: They just thought this was their responsibility. To cover up
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: for Biden, and that's it. I believe we have a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: clip to that effect.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, on News, Alex Thompson is talking to Leland Vintert
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and he has this to say about some of the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Biden folks reaction to the media's reaction to their cover up.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Here we go. I think when you were reporting this,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: did people in his inner circle? Did those that you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: talked to acknowledge that the media were they surprised by
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: how complicit the media was.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: It was interesting. I had one conversation with someone, this
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: was after the election while we were reporting this book,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: and this person said, listen, yes, we deserve.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Blame for X y Z.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: We were hiding him. We were, but this person also
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: sort of got my face and they said, listen, the
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: media deserves some blame too, Like we were sort of
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: amazed at some of the stuff we were able to spin. Again,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: went on, they in some way bank Robert complaining safe, Yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: they're just like you guys. You guys should not have
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: believed us so easily. And I thought that was like
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: a really interesting but I also think that's true. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: think I think the media in a lot of ways
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: just was not skeptical enough and did not remember the
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: lesson that they do it to different degrees, but every
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: White House lives.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the idea that you have to tell
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the press that I mean, they know that they're just
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: willing to do the lying for the other side.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Else This is kind of a tangential issue, but it's
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: kind of amazing to me how the conservative media is
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: covering this book, because would the liberal media ever cover
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: one of our books in such a manner? Would they
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: give us interviews on all of their shows? Would they
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: allow us to tell our side of the story and
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: how we saw the time that we had gotten completely
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: wrong again, not Alex Thompson, but Jake Tapper for sure.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Well, it certainly wouldn't break it into the mainstream coverage.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Right, would there we talk of a Hollywood blockbuster about
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: one of these books. Obviously none of that would happen.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: But it just the fact that conservatives do talk to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the liberals in a way that the liberals just do
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: not talk to conservatives.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well, and I think Charles Cook was tweeting
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: today like, hey, you guys got all this wrong, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the media's like yeah, and he's like, so the people
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: who got it right will get the book deals and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the movie deals and such, right, and they're like, oh no, no, no,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: who's going to get those other people who got it?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Like that's that's how this, that's how this works. Unfortunately.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Can I note this new study about twenty twenty four's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: demographic shifts and all of this that came out of Catalyst.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: It's very detailed, but I just want to run through
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: because look, there should be like congressional hearings over this.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: People should be punished, people should never work again in
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: politics or public service because of what they perpetrated in
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the Biden White House. However, if we don't get that,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: which I don't have a lot of confidence in, if
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: we don't get that, there's a cosmic pain that the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party is suffering. And let me just read through
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: it for you. These are these subheads on the Amy
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Walter piece in cook political report on this study of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: what happened in twenty twenty four. Here they are, how
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: don't even need to go into the details. The Obama
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: coalition turned into the Trump coalition. Men, especially men of color,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: shifted towards Republicans. Women didn't rally for Harris and Latina
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: women moved right younger voters, especially voters of color, shifted
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: right super voters. They're you know, older boomers were older,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: less racially diverse, and less urban, and new voters were
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the least democratic. Ever, every self conception they have of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: what makes them cool and special and morally correct and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: hip is obliterated by this election.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: It's amazing. It's amazing, and there's very little self correction
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: going on. Like we're not going to get into immigration today,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: but on immigration, which I think was Trump's top issue,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: they are still defending illegal immigration, like as in, we
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: should stop kicking out illegal immigrants, we should not be
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: so hard on illegal immigrants. It's wild, like you just
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: lost everything on this issue. You're really going to continue
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: to push it.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to end up with a Trump coalition
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that next time around. Still looks like I kid you
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: not from this report, fifty seven percent women and people
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of color. Mm hm okay, yeah.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Good luck with that. We'll be right back on normally.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Moving on. There's a couple of sort of transactivist stories
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: going on right now that I wanted to flag. The
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: first of it which made it to the Supreme Court,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: which is that a main state representative Laurel Livy, who
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: spoke out on the floor of her state legislature about
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the main government's insistence on defying Donald Trump's executive order
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and putting men in women's sports in the state of Maine.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: She spoke out about this on the floor. She was censured.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: The way that they censured her in this state body
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: was to not allow her to speak on the floor
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: or to vote. She has constituents who currently are unrepresented.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yep, and nobody spoke to her. Everybody like gave her
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: the cold shoulder and like it's like, what are you
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: guys doing?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Like what is this? So she goes to a lower
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: court and says, hey, my people don't have representation right now.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: This is a speech issue. This is a representation issue,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Like you can't do this. And lower Court's like, now,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: we're not going to enjoin that. We'll get to it later.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: She goes emergency to the Supreme Court. The emergency Court
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the emergency docket agrees to see it seven to two
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: in favor of Laura Libby, who must be like re
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: put into her position for the moment. But what was
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: telling is that I'm sure you can guess who the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: two dissenters were They were Jackson and so Tom I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Kagan on the right side of this. But what struck
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: me is that Jackson's descent is like, hey, you haven't
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: proved that this is an issue like your your speech.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: First of all, I think it's icky. Second of all,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: second all, they probably have a right to censure you,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: censure you. And third, you haven't showed me that any
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: votes coming up are going to be decided by your vote.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: So why do those people need representation? And why do
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: you need speech rights?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Why does anybody need representation? At that point, you only
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: need representation if you're the deciding vote. That's the only
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: time that you should vote. Yeah, wait a minute, I
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: think I like this.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: No, it's it's wild to me that it had to
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: go to the Supreme Court. I'm glad to see seven
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to two. It should have been nine to zero. What
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: when you is embarrassing when you see the descent and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you realize, oh, this is just she doesn't believe that Libby,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: if she's saying icky things to her mind, has these rights.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: These are not fundamental rights. This is like something else
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that's something she objects to, and therefore that story.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: The Libby story, it just it should give everyone pause
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: on both sides. But of course it doesn't. Again, it doesn't.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It's it's just the left protects themselves in a way
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: that I just don't think the right does. Again, if
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the right did this, we would have a dozen think
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: pieces about how inappropriated it is to take away presentation
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: from voters, not allow somebody who you disagree with to speak.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: People like you and I would be like, they can't
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: do that to.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: This person, right, We would cover it on normally and
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: say this is wrong. It just it does not happen
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: in the same fashion on the left. It drives me crazy,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: that double standard and the way that they just think
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: that everything that they do is correct and they don't
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: self police at all. Yeah really until they can get
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a book deal out of it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: And part of that is because they're just results based,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: which is what you see in this dissent from Jackson.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: She's just like, well, I don't like this case. Right. Therefore,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: another story out of Loudun County, which is near me,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and this is the famous one that there was a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: huge story during the Younkin election that helped turn that
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: one about the inability of Louden County schools to protect
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: their own students and their lack of transparency about things
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: like sexual assault inside the schools. In this case, a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: girl who identifies as a boy had access to a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: male locker room and was in the male locker room
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: changing with teenage boys and filmed said teenage boys in
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the locker room. The teenage boys objected to this, and
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Louden County Schools is investigating the boys. Wild the boys
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Latin County is so perfectly crazy it almost sounds fake
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: every time you hear one of these stories. It's absolutely real.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: By the way, in that old story, they arrested the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: dad of the assault victim because he had the temerity
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: to come to a school remaining and say, hey, you're
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: covering up the assault of my child. Yeah, they had
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: him arrested.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: So just to tie those two stories together, Laura Libby
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: was censured because she posted a photo of a biologically
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: male athlete who had won the state championship in women's
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: pull vaulting, and it was that social media post that
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: got her censured and unable to vote or speak in
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the main state house. Now, it's ironic that she was
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: not in a locker room, she was not taking pictures
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: that she wasn't allowed to be taking. She just posted
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: a picture of an athlete that she didn't feel belonged
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: in women's.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Which was a publicly available photo.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, right, yeah, but they considered it bullying and therefore
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: she was censured.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: But this, I believe the phrase, by the way, is
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: endangering a minor is what she did. M right? Yeah, yeah,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: young young boys being filmed in a locker room by
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: a person of the opposite sex, So they don't get privacy, right,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: they don't get to object to that, to that, And
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that's that's the thing about so much of the transactivism
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: is that if you don't go straight from having your
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: comfort zone violated, celebrating having your right zone violated, or
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: having your metal taken from you, they're like, aha, I
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: think we need an investigation of this.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'll also say that it's interesting because a lot
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: of the times it's girl spaces that are violated in
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: this manner. It's pretty rare that it's boy spaces. You know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: if a biological girl wants to play in boy sports,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: go for it. You know, it's not really lug Yeah, yeah,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: good luck with that. But this is interesting because it
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: shows it really does affect kids of both sexes, and
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: it's should just be something that we understand to NOTPU allowed.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: One more story on this front, just so that everybody
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: knows about it, because Colorado is also sort of perfectly
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: crazy and casting itself in this role. Lately, Colorado's state
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: government pasted a rule that misgendering your child or not
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: supporting your child in a transition will be used as
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: part of custody discussions and it will be considered a
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: harm that you're doing to your child potentially and would
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: change the way that custody disputes are resolved. This is insane.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: It's obviously a speech issue because the government can't say
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: that you can't call your kid a sheet. By the way,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I also love that the government makes you turn in
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: a birth certificate where you choose all these things, and
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: they're like, you can't use that dead name that you
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: turned into us. That we mate the documentation and last
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: fifteen years. Anyway, parents defending freedom are defending education board. Yep,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for all your work. Great organization
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: is suing over that as a speech issue, and so
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: hopefully the parents of Colorado will no longer have to
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: live in such fear. After you guys take care of that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: But it's an insane idea.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Nicki Neely is the president of Defending Education. And if
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: you are doing bad things in your state and you
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: see Nicki Neely coming, run run. She is unstoppable.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Queen lawsuit, Queen's communications, Queen. She will think she sleeps.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: She just works all the time. When we have our
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: board meetings, it's like we're all just like, what you
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: did all that?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And then she'll be like in Rome homeschooling and You're like, wow,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: how did that happen?
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: So I appreciate that very much, and I think it
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: will do the parents of Colorado a lot of good
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: to have her on the case.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: We're going to take a short break and come right
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: back with normally.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Do we want to do a little sports before we
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: close out? You know?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: And I want to say about our third topic. We
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: try to make the third topic a little lighter and
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Earlier today I heard a story about how some the
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Washingtonian magazine has a story about Republican female makeup and
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: how we all look the same. We're skipping that story
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: to bring you a football story. Okay, that is how
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: much we want to be representative of all of our audience.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: We don't want to just focus on fashion and beauty.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I mean I do, but apparently we can.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: So well apparently the NFL. And so the Olympics is
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: going to have flag football in twenty twenty eight, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the NFL has said that NFL players can play in
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the Olympics on a flag football team. That's incredible for
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the United States. This is going to be amazing. Yeah,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: because for NFL players, it's just the strongest, toughest people
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: in the world who regularly do this as a warm up,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: doing it in competition for gold medals, like I am
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: so here for it. And because it's flag football, we
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: won't be actually, you know, laying out or hurting any
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: European footballers who have decided to play the real football. Instead,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: we'll just be running circles around them. Can you imagine
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: these people blinding up against white outs from the NFL.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: It's going to be amazing. It's like a Slovakian like
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: plumber who plays flag football on the weekend.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Or like the Australian breakdancer. She's going to show up
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and be like I will stop you, Xavir Leggott, No,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you will not.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: It's like that when the NBA Dream Team played in
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: the Olympics and it was like completely unstoppable and just yeah,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: it's our Sorry.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: It's just going to be easier than they're warm up right.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: See now, Now, if this goes wrong somehow horribly, yes,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: we can come back to this clip and I will
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: write a best selling book about how I was wrong
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: about I love it.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, I'm also I'm Russian, so this jinxing.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: You know, we can't be called the fairpoint. We have
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: to touch wood and like spit spit, Okay.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I will do that, but flag football, come on. Yeah.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: In other football news, the tush push is going to
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: be allowed. Apparently the NFL was considering banning the tush push,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, I I'm minorly interested in sports.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: So when my my amazing neighbors Dana and Adam texted
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: my husband and I with the words tush push for
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the wind, I had.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: No idea what was going on. You actually just thought
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: they were swingers all of a sudden or something like,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: what's happening.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Anyone pushing any tissues?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: No, I'm excited about that. I said, it's a legit move.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: If you're not strong enough to make it work, it's
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: not going to work. These guys are hitting the gym.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: They can make the toush push work.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Go for it, right, I'm pro tush push.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Why not? There we go? Now you have it?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Do we have another sports angle? Is Bill Belichick engaged?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yes? One last quick update. Apparently apparently he got
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: his boat got a new paint job, which fueled engagement
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: rumors because it talked about how many rings he had
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and it was there was an extra one involved.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, interesting because I only saw the headline and
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I guess he painted his boat for her.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, that would be a very clever way to
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: debut and engagement if I'm really honest.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Right, it's his girlfriend's in her twenties and that's a
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: very instagrammy.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Look. As long as she's not running the football programs, yeah,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. Then the problem seems to be
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: that she might be running them football right.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that's not going to be the case. Best of luck,
• 23:06
