546: Munich Moment
Syrian Ambassador, Obama Speech Patterns, H-Dropping
The Syrian Ambassador's critique of Obama's shift from a "peace candidate" to a "war president" is presented. The hosts then pivot to a linguistic analysis of Obama's speech, specifically his "H-dropping" when saying the word "abhorrent" (which he pronounces as "aberrant"). They contrast this with his over-emphasis of the "H" in words like "honored" and "humbled," jokingly suggesting the existence of "O-Twins" or different programmed personas.
