We're back let's find out we -- And he -- so popular I'm -- TV can't really anyhow you pulled that up pummeled an are right Greg any update on -- -- think that story are quick update actually the cat has now been charged -- Obviously lying to aiding and abetting really -- up.

Zip -- you're gonna -- -- like -- that he lining.

He Lanny I don't get that balance that confronts.

Now I'm kind of glad I didn't say that -- -- or maybe it's.

A perfect crime.

They certainly wish for them off to jail.

In the fifth.

Well he'd be in cats are -- -- believe this -- around the time we start losing -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I don't know if all of a.

Also before it started I got which happy birthday -- Julie Campbell I would.

Thank god you got that out of get that out there this guy so conservative he makes Pat Buchanan look like Noam Chomsky.

Check -- -- stuff.

-- Patrick -- anti marijuana project -- pointed out that David from who's in bed with.

Patrick Kennedy on this.

Spent years saying that anyone who was against the Iraq War was unpatriotic and un American what he's what gets me the fact that he's referred to as a conservative.

Yeah I think that's happening less and less he's using your purchase conservative these days when The New Yorker is trying to write about libertarians or something like it's.

It's mostly a level of confusion -- floating in some special.

New place transitioning from one's -- -- I don't think I think they should he just should be called a status.

Well -- mean about brother but this until we change everyone's vocabulary list.

Freddie just.

He always -- Mike Bloomberg it's always he always thinks the government should.

You know take responsibility and and and run people's lives he he has to get a -- today -- about this project saying -- basically if you.

Do it and smoke pot and you have -- bad side effects may be it's still what working worse on you than you thought and that may be you know.

You've already gotten so much in this world -- -- sacrifice something right.

Well again I -- to connect Kennedy you said that just because Patrick Kennedy has damaged DNA doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to smoke that we tracked but David from this is why I think what now that we -- he says.

He says quote.

There's a trade off and it takes the form of denying less vulnerable people easy access to -- pleasure that they believe they can safely -- way -- many -- -- and -- I know basically what he's saying is who are you to value your freedom.

A free person and Americans and an American woman with class it's not a David -- Americans well he can back.

I don't disagree.

Jason -- said the Kennedys were known bootleggers of alcohol.

And indeed mobsters like Meyer Lansky Frank Stella said that -- and Joseph Kennedy.

-- partners inventors like that but Daniel -- -- in his book about prohibition says there's absolutely no evidence.

Joseph Kennedy bootlegging he writes quote.

All we know for certain is that Joseph Kennedy brought -- into the country -- -- before the end of prohibition and sold a great deal of it after.

I hope you must you must have been in this final in and week and only did trust I -- -- -- -- like Meyer Lansky right or Dan -- grants.

Daniel Craig is I believe the former.

Ombudsman of the New York Times so -- went against -- to stick with him.

No games to Yeltsin created and -- is a real -- it now button isn't hypocrite you more than he created rotisserie baseball fan but I when I was at an open.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The baseball in a 7-Eleven that's -- it's what the hey have you called fantasy baseball.

Welfare debit cards being used that your club's not -- -- government shouldn't tell people how to use had to spend their money even if it's taxpayers' money -- if you don't like the way for people spend money don't give them money.

But does this -- get to the point that this all started when we stopped giving people food stamps -- -- and started giving them these electronic debit card.

Well no we didn't fit give them both physically and in the people how to get these things get food -- as -- on food stamps and proscribed.

To both in terms of preferably having something -- with a good diet -- actually just going towards foreign producers that but forget.

-- -- I thought we stopped giving food stamps because it was sort of it made people feel bad when they -- -- -- with food stamps whereas if they just pay with a debit cards like at a supermarket they feel better.

That's sounds right actually that sometimes.

They still they still pull him aside and you know that I estimates that is okay connected -- and it's a make you feel pretty crappy and I zone yeah.

He accidentally pressed the EDT -- it -- before.

-- -- Mom and a lot I don't Ralph Roberts is West Coast yeah.

That's exactly what it is my.

But they didn't catch that guy just.

Jason you said spending money at a strip club could be beneficial to your family for instance if your daughter's won on the main stage a great point.

Also important to point out there's no actual evidence the money was used in the strip clubs or the liquor stores -- -- only that it was taken out of the camps places.

Yeah I mean you could personally and you never taking money out of strip club and then gone through the whole -- to get -- -- sounded.

Almost every Thursday.

Thrill and it takes citizen yeah just so happens they campaign ATM is in the strip club nearby.

You know what it charges a dollar last in the -- Also devastated -- -- dollar property is it.

Yet you don't think about that -- happens.

I thought I'd put it up before we've -- this story it's entirely possible that the gentleman's club withdrawals were used to pay for the delightful buffets I'm told those establishments -- And this because you can't buy those directly with EDT Cox -- You can -- includes cash.

That is true.

You know I don't plan yet it Smart.

And the blues is really inexpensive it's strip clubs -- -- -- standing and not at all watered down which is not okay that's great no hepatitis and that pretty but they have their rules.

Will no long -- yeah.

Again not on there's now we call I -- Greg that comparison to the firefighters was that they also get taxpayer money it's a stupid comparison it is.

-- also -- what are strippers dressed like firefighters.

They have to have the pole -- Speaking of which we -- we know what part of the New York -- need for this story.

There on the -- and watching the polls can and digital engine joint not -- I'm fairly certain we consume them.

Why for that lead I think -- just -- have we might have used that.

Dividing our style -- something yes.

Pastors 911 -- Greg after making 911 calls public discourages people from calling 911.

Probably especially when shows like ours -- But you know what I'm doing I I -- act the greater good.

Using this was -- a way to help people like the pastor Jones and just courage on the right shot.

All because they think it didn't give it maybe make a comparison between this and making gun permit was public.

No OUTX.

Why not -- what I did it.

What you're saying they're both Netflix people's republic documents.

They -- but should they.

Well.

I don't.

I like the fact that -- made it public because it makes people who don't have guns worried that.

But that no that's not a good thing because and there are people that had guns for reasons for protection they don't want people -- where they live so I'm not for that.

Right yes -- was.

Bringing in a house of known guns though you guys there's got to a machine gun you gonna break -- -- house.

We need like we know when that was the bill no I'm saying if they haven't what are we talking about.

-- I was just I was simply asking if you could make that comparison maybe.

The comparison that at 91 wouldn't I wouldn't say that both of the -- are technically public information yes but maybe they shouldn't be made public.

Yes because -- we still talking about the cat and I.

I'm really sorry about no because that's what you're going for a larger larger point now that -- somehow end up protecting or harming somebody net.

Bobby right.

The Kennedys -- the pastor's voice.

Sounded like Stephen -- computer yet authorities -- -- -- -- Chandler on friends when he was trapped in the ATM vestibule with children -- I never -- -- are you kidding me -- Something.

And then that's Steven -- computer impression I don't know get across the comic after he he says well I think I.

-- -- -- Yeah this stuff -- -- take it out -- yeah.

-- just lastly Greg I'd find it very curious you seemed very invested in giving possible excuses for the past the ethics and.

Yes by -- because -- a good person.

Is that -- yes no I'm just.

Think about this 11 and our lives going to be in a very embarrassing situation we know that -- on this planet between like seventy to 85 years.

There's going to be one time when you are so embarrassed look Al Roker.

Last night what it out -- say people who did his pants and a White House now.

That's embarrassing.

It's -- rubber shark in the White House started in the White House and what I what would happen if you.

It lets say.

There was nobody around to help you there -- no bathrooms and you had to call 911.

It is Al -- get a call 911 knowing he's going to be on they're going like holy crap I craps.

Out.

But he kind of an abuse of the 911 system it -- -- -- what you gonna call 311.

411.

What I don't and one married in California where they charge you three to fifty dollars -- an ambulance cooler or paramedics.

Down through the fire department.

I mean there there they are now charging only charging people money they have to.

Because they're going bankrupt yet because he -- -- -- tonight and it fund pensions for life and now.

People aren't going to call -- -- want to -- other going to be -- fifty dollars every day.

We'll let things that they don't look good -- picture of -- on -- hot but for grand -- and I think it's been a wonderful life.

Not gonna think at -- better than -- -- panel and a home although.

So what a broker situation they should have a number like that -- I just number -- is like -- And they give you advice or either put you in the bathroom right take your -- -- in the trash.

Act like nothing happens by the way -- -- -- -- but clearly he's not all out embarrassed by that he's the one that told every day at trial any of the stuff that's history.

Now what you get as you know this is it's what you call -- humble Brad well -- I guess this was it about him.

Charting is about him sharply in the White House which now became the not so White House's -- -- -- -- group.

In the White House.
