Well, can you unboil that frog?

It might be possible.

Hi, everybody.

I'm Bill Whittle here with Steve Green and Scott Ott.

And as we all know, the great danger to our institutions in our country, really to any established

institutions.

It's not so much the immediate destruction of them.

It is the slow erosion of them.

And that, of course, brings us back to that analogy of of if you throw a frog in boiling water, it'll do its best to jump out or not entirely sure that would work, but that's the argument anyway.

But if you put the frog in lukewarm water and slowly increase the temperature, then eventually you'll be able to boil a frog because a frog will never know when it got to the point to be jumping.

I bring all of this deep thoughts up because of our friend

John Federman, the senator from Pennsylvania, who was elected in 2022 with a severe stroke

and was not able to finish sentences. Well, it turns out, ladies gentlemen, to many people's

surprise, including my own, that as John Fetterman regains brain function,

he's becoming more conservative by the day.

And Scott, the reason I bring up the can you unboiled the frog thing is because,

while Fetterman's been the source of not even comedy so much as just kind of disbelief and a sort of sense

of general pity. One of the one of the things about about the very serious business of strokes is that

you can in fact recover. Your brain will start growing new neural pathways. Function comes back and so on.

And it occurred to me, Scott, that on some level, a severe stroke that impeded your cognitive abilities

is in a way almost like being in a coma. And you could make the case that even in the last two years,

the progressive policies that Federman once was a champion of have become so far out into left field
