WEBVTT - A Tooth Contraption 0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:10.080 Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at 0:00:10.100 --> 0:00:14.500 the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:27.300 Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. Live 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.830 from Studio C, a dimly lit room deep within the 0:00:30.930 --> 0:00:35.269 bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound. And now 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.030 that it is fall, I've walked in wearing Uggs with 0:00:38.090 --> 0:00:41.630 a pumpkin spice latte in my hands because that's my 0:00:41.790 --> 0:00:48.330 fall look. One of our favorite members of Twitter, her 0:00:48.370 --> 0:00:51.809 name is, her handle is I'm Just Diane. She's hilarious. 0:00:52.590 --> 0:00:56.470 We've been following her for years. Anyway, she tweeted out 0:00:56.510 --> 0:01:00.890 the other day how she saw a college chick in 0:01:01.750 --> 0:01:05.649 Uggs shorts and a tank top with a hot pumpkin 0:01:05.670 --> 0:01:09.480 spice latte, and it was a hundred degrees outside. And 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.060 she had, she admired how this woman was committed to 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.120 the bit committed to the fall bit. I'm wearing Uggs. 0:01:15.140 --> 0:01:17.380 I'm not going to drink hot coffee. I don't care 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.080 if it's a hundred degrees and the rest of my 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.520 clothing indicates summer, but it is fall now. And that 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.100 is why I'm in Uggs. Uh, welcome to the show. 0:01:25.220 --> 0:01:26.980 Joe is on a golf trip. He'll be calling in 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:28.690 a bit later. We have some good guests lined up 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.490 and lots of news to get to. And president Trump 0:01:31.650 --> 0:01:35.590 is going to address the UN general assembly in just 0:01:35.630 --> 0:01:39.929 a little bit. Generally, he gives pretty long, pretty powerful 0:01:39.990 --> 0:01:42.690 speeches at these events about a lot of different topics. 0:01:43.140 --> 0:01:46.600 I was just reading the New York times rundown of 0:01:46.660 --> 0:01:52.420 yesterday at the UN general assembly. And they said that, uh, 0:01:53.330 --> 0:01:57.660 AI was the talk of the whole event at fever 0:01:57.700 --> 0:02:00.760 pitch with all the heavyweights there. So there you go. 0:02:00.780 --> 0:02:03.080 With a couple of wars going on, the hot topic 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.420 was AI. And I assume Trump's going to say something 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.550 about that today. And everybody's assuming that he and she 0:02:09.570 --> 0:02:12.110 are going to talk about it on Thursday and Friday 0:02:12.190 --> 0:02:15.310 when President Xi is at the White House. This one 0:02:15.350 --> 0:02:17.870 guy in the New York Times brought up, I don't have, 0:02:18.190 --> 0:02:21.660 my son has an Alexa device. up in his room 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.139 that he uses for music mostly, but I haven't used 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.780 Alexa in many, many years. Anybody here got Alexa, Michael? 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:28.280 Yeah. 0:02:29.180 --> 0:02:33.280 I use it occasionally. I don't know if Alexa updates 0:02:33.340 --> 0:02:35.900 the software like other things do, or is an older 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.160 Alexa not up to date? I don't, I don't know 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:43.040 this about Alexa. Anyway, this particular writer said in my house, 0:02:43.100 --> 0:02:46.690 a debate rages over whether the new Alexa is learning 0:02:46.770 --> 0:02:50.530 from us on the sly or in that Alexa seems 0:02:50.630 --> 0:02:54.000 to know things about them that it shouldn't know, but 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.679 it would know them if it's listening to their conversations 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:01.079 and taking in that information about music choices or, you know, 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.079 just topics. And everybody has that question, right? What was 0:03:05.100 --> 0:03:07.000 the thing that happened to my family gathering a couple 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.919 of weeks ago? Oh, we were having a conversation about 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.760 stuff that grows hair on bald men's heads. And several 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.910 members of my family all of a sudden were getting 0:03:16.090 --> 0:03:20.010 ads for hair regrow stuff. And nobody had Googled it 0:03:20.030 --> 0:03:21.549 or anything like that or searched it. We were just 0:03:21.570 --> 0:03:24.610 having a conversation at the table. And then, so, is 0:03:24.650 --> 0:03:26.850 your device listening to you? I know lots of people 0:03:26.900 --> 0:03:29.380 think it is. I don't know. All the companies claim 0:03:29.410 --> 0:03:32.540 that they're not. Maybe that's something that they should bring 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.310 up at the UN. Why are our devices listening to us? 0:03:36.380 --> 0:03:39.600 Didn't they determine that smart TVs are listening to us? 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.060 Didn't we have that story a while back? 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.700 I could, you know what, I could swear that they 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.180 are just based off of, because I have a smart 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.720 TV in the living room and You know how when 0:03:48.740 --> 0:03:50.780 you stream, you get more targeted ads? 0:03:51.020 --> 0:03:51.560 Sure. 0:03:52.620 --> 0:03:56.620 The amount after I had our son, Van, the amount of, 0:03:57.410 --> 0:03:59.490 are you suffering from postpartum depression? 0:04:00.190 --> 0:04:03.670 Ads that popped up. On your television. On my television 0:04:03.970 --> 0:04:05.850 at all times. I don't know. 0:04:05.870 --> 0:04:08.270 I just feel like anytime we talk about stuff in 0:04:08.310 --> 0:04:10.880 that particular room of the house, I start getting the 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.100 ads on the various apps and whatnot. 0:04:13.900 --> 0:04:16.180 More so than I do online. throughout the rest of 0:04:16.220 --> 0:04:19.159 my day i've always been very skeptical when the companies 0:04:19.180 --> 0:04:21.440 say they're not listening or watching because i think if 0:04:21.490 --> 0:04:23.710 they can they will and there's money to be made 0:04:23.770 --> 0:04:26.810 but there is that thing where i remember i remember 0:04:26.830 --> 0:04:29.750 noticing this many many years ago if you're thinking of 0:04:29.850 --> 0:04:32.450 buying a certain kind of car it seems like you 0:04:32.529 --> 0:04:35.130 see it all over the place Yeah. And you don't 0:04:35.310 --> 0:04:37.969 normally notice it. So there's some sort of thing that 0:04:38.029 --> 0:04:40.979 happens around that. If something's on your mind, you notice 0:04:41.010 --> 0:04:43.120 it when maybe you just don't notice it at all. 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:48.020 But both can be true. That phenomenon exists, documented, and 0:04:48.100 --> 0:04:50.880 these devices are listening to us. But if the new 0:04:50.940 --> 0:04:53.670 Alexa is like really listening to all your conversations, I 0:04:53.690 --> 0:04:56.210 don't dig that at all. I'll have to look into 0:04:56.250 --> 0:05:01.469 that and ask my son if he notices that at all. Um, and, uh, 0:05:02.020 --> 0:05:05.110 also the New York times again, saying that AI is, uh, uh, 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.880 as a conversation, is it fever pitch at the UN and, uh, 0:05:08.460 --> 0:05:10.849 all over New York city, just like it is everywhere, 0:05:10.870 --> 0:05:14.409 I guess. Um, they have a piece today about whether 0:05:14.430 --> 0:05:16.230 or not AI is sentient that I want to get 0:05:16.270 --> 0:05:19.150 into a little bit later. The other stuff, of course, 0:05:19.370 --> 0:05:23.270 is the wars that were involved with and China's role 0:05:23.310 --> 0:05:27.910 in the wars. And also, uh, There's a belief that 0:05:27.950 --> 0:05:30.250 Trump's going to get into the electric car conversation, which 0:05:30.730 --> 0:05:32.930 brings us to the opening clip of the show. So 0:05:32.950 --> 0:05:34.289 I want to get that on and then we can 0:05:34.350 --> 0:05:37.970 further that conversation about Chinese electric cars, which could be 0:05:38.010 --> 0:05:40.570 a game changer. So I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty 0:05:40.589 --> 0:05:44.240 on this. It is Tuesday. It's September 22nd, the year 2026. 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.739 We're Armstrong and Getty and we approve of this program. 0:05:46.779 --> 0:05:49.140 It is important, according to the FCC, that we begin 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.460 the show at, got to wait two more seconds, March. 0:05:52.810 --> 0:05:56.120 In this Chinese factory, incredibly efficient. They turn on a 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.140 new car every 78 seconds, but not a lot of people. 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.680 All automated. And every 78 seconds, they turn on a 0:06:02.700 --> 0:06:05.719 new car, but there's just a few guys holding clipboards. 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:13.040 I thought that was a stunning report about the Chinese 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.870 electric car industry. That's Steve Harrigan of Fox. He was 0:06:16.930 --> 0:06:20.099 over in China checking out one of their factories. They 0:06:20.220 --> 0:06:23.660 crank out a car every 78 seconds, and there ain't 0:06:23.740 --> 0:06:26.660 nobody in the car factory. Now, when we were... I 0:06:26.670 --> 0:06:28.370 don't know how long it took us to build a 0:06:30.110 --> 0:06:34.450 Chevy whatever in 1974 when we were really cranking out 0:06:34.490 --> 0:06:36.910 cars and we were the global leader, but it wasn't 0:06:36.930 --> 0:06:40.130 that fast, and there were, as we all know, many, 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.880 many tens of thousands of autoworkers with all the major 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.240 car companies, and it was... one of the most important 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.230 unions in America and controlled so much power and the 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.050 UAW and all that sort of stuff. And they still 0:06:53.070 --> 0:06:56.590 control a lot of power. China is cranking out cars 0:06:57.390 --> 0:07:00.230 one every just barely more than a minute with no 0:07:00.350 --> 0:07:05.740 human beings in the factory. Holy crap. What does that 0:07:05.820 --> 0:07:08.960 do to what used to be, you know, a cup 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:15.460 of coffee ago, an incredibly labor intensive factory. job-heavy industry, 0:07:15.540 --> 0:07:18.040 if that's just going to go away and there's no 0:07:18.060 --> 0:07:20.520 longer employees involved with that at all, that would be devastating. 0:07:20.540 --> 0:07:24.770 It would certainly be devastating to Detroit or Dearborn or 0:07:24.790 --> 0:07:27.310 any of those towns where they're building cars. And I 0:07:27.330 --> 0:07:29.790 know they've gotten more automated over the years from the 0:07:29.850 --> 0:07:32.910 old days, but nobody in the entire factory to crank 0:07:32.950 --> 0:07:36.130 out a car every 78 seconds? I thought that was unbelievable. 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.860 So we've talked about this a lot. There are reviews 0:07:39.900 --> 0:07:42.380 of these Chinese electric cars that say they're really great. 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.720 And they're incredibly cheap. And we're not letting them currently 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.230 into the United States because it would really undercut, well, 0:07:50.310 --> 0:07:52.850 all of our electric car makers, all of our electric 0:07:52.870 --> 0:07:55.870 car makers. Do we have more than Tesla? Where's Rivian made? 0:07:56.010 --> 0:07:57.330 I don't know where any of these cars are made. 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.130 But if we get. high quality electric cars at a 0:08:02.210 --> 0:08:04.770 really cheap price in the United States, it's going to 0:08:04.830 --> 0:08:07.620 really upend our market. And so that's not why we're 0:08:07.630 --> 0:08:10.560 allowing them in. There's some talk that Trump's going to 0:08:11.020 --> 0:08:13.260 announce with President Xi that we allow them in, but 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.500 they have to be made here. Will they be made 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.680 here in a United States factory with hundreds or thousands 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:24.090 of workers when China could make them one every 78 0:08:24.090 --> 0:08:27.290 seconds without any employees? Would they still be as cheap? 0:08:27.630 --> 0:08:29.970 I don't think the math works on that. that they 0:08:29.990 --> 0:08:31.650 could continue to be as cheap if you didn't have 0:08:31.690 --> 0:08:35.380 any employees working on them. Um, I also don't know 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.620 if we have an appetite for electric cars. I don't 0:08:37.660 --> 0:08:39.740 care if they are cheap and good. I'm not sure 0:08:39.780 --> 0:08:42.800 people are going to buy them. I guess we'll find out, but, uh, 0:08:43.179 --> 0:08:45.680 there's been no indication over the last however many years 0:08:45.780 --> 0:08:48.240 that very many people want an electric car at all, 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.590 but I look forward to seeing what the conversation they 0:08:50.610 --> 0:08:52.609 have around that, or maybe what Trump even says about 0:08:52.650 --> 0:08:56.050 it today, tipping is maybe tipping his hand somewhat on 0:08:56.090 --> 0:09:00.100 how he feels about that whole thing. Um, Another story 0:09:00.140 --> 0:09:02.900 that I look forward to following up on that continues 0:09:02.940 --> 0:09:05.420 to get a lot of attention is that woman that 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:09.800 wrote the 1619 Project that started that whole conversation and 0:09:10.260 --> 0:09:12.140 got the books into your kids' schools so that your 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.280 kids can learn that we're an evil country that really 0:09:15.340 --> 0:09:20.480 is founded on racism. Anyway, that fraud, if you've been 0:09:20.500 --> 0:09:23.090 following the story, she sent her kid to a really 0:09:23.230 --> 0:09:26.750 crappy school. to try to make some sort of point 0:09:26.790 --> 0:09:29.370 about crappy schools. Anyway, now her kid's really mad at her. Well, 0:09:29.390 --> 0:09:32.689 there's more information out on that story that's really interesting 0:09:33.030 --> 0:09:35.569 about the school, about its funding, about how bad it is, 0:09:36.500 --> 0:09:39.599 about all angles of it. So I look forward to 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:44.320 talking about that, too. Again, Trump speaking at the U.N. today. 0:09:44.340 --> 0:09:47.160 We will have highlights of that on all the topics. Obviously, 0:09:47.179 --> 0:09:48.470 he's going to have to touch on the war with 0:09:48.530 --> 0:09:51.270 Iran and how heavy is he going to come down 0:09:51.330 --> 0:09:54.490 on Ukraine and the Ukraine-Russia war, all that stuff. So 0:09:54.510 --> 0:09:55.650 we got a lot on the way. I hope you 0:09:55.690 --> 0:09:57.860 can stay here. Don't touch that dial, as they say. 0:09:58.980 --> 0:10:04.040 Armstrong and. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:15.020 Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. Anybody here have braces 0:10:15.070 --> 0:10:15.490 as a kid? 0:10:16.020 --> 0:10:16.210 Yep. 0:10:16.750 --> 0:10:17.069 Oh, you did? 0:10:17.090 --> 0:10:17.490 Mm-hmm. 0:10:18.220 --> 0:10:19.380 Let me see you smile, Mike. I don't know if 0:10:19.420 --> 0:10:21.360 I've ever seen you smile. Oh, you got straight teeth. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.979 And you did too, Katie. I had naturally straight teeth. 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.900 My dentist, who called me John for some reason, and 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:37.270 always weirded me out as a kid. Why? He'd say, hey, John, always. Weird, okay. 0:10:37.580 --> 0:10:40.020 And my name is Jack, and it was on the paperwork, 0:10:40.059 --> 0:10:41.340 and my mom referred to me as Jack, but he 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.699 just called me John. Anyway, he said, John, I'd give 0:10:43.740 --> 0:10:45.880 a million dollars for your teeth. Anybody would, because my 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.500 teeth were so straight and perfect. And I've never had 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.880 a cavity in my life either. But my son, youngest son, 0:10:51.940 --> 0:10:54.580 his teeth were. I mean, he had summer teeth, summer 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.300 point in that way, summer point. He did. Now they're perfect. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.090 They're nice and straight. He's got braces on. But he 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.590 entered the band period where you have the rubber bands 0:11:02.690 --> 0:11:05.130 on them. He hadn't gotten into that yet, and he's 0:11:05.170 --> 0:11:08.090 not digging that part. Yeah, that was not, I remember 0:11:08.150 --> 0:11:10.210 not being a fan of that period of time. Yeah, 0:11:10.270 --> 0:11:12.220 I don't, I didn't know anything about it until yesterday, 0:11:12.250 --> 0:11:14.000 but so he's got a, you've got a big bag 0:11:14.020 --> 0:11:15.800 of them and you have to change them constantly, like 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.640 every time you eat or you take them off. I 0:11:17.660 --> 0:11:19.520 didn't know anything about that. Back in the day, they 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.640 had headgear that people would wear. Oh, right. I remember that, yeah. 0:11:22.970 --> 0:11:26.750 So that doesn't exist anymore? I haven't seen that in years. Uh-huh. 0:11:27.929 --> 0:11:31.890 Rubber bands, I think that's for your bite, right? Yes. Okay. Yes, 0:11:31.910 --> 0:11:34.360 because your top teeth are supposed to be over the 0:11:34.460 --> 0:11:36.500 top of your bottom teeth just a little bit, like 0:11:36.540 --> 0:11:38.740 mine are, because I have million-dollar teeth. I, John, have 0:11:38.780 --> 0:11:42.530 million-dollar teeth. They're not supposed to match up perfectly. They're 0:11:42.550 --> 0:11:44.990 supposed to overbite just a little bit, and that's what 0:11:45.170 --> 0:11:45.790 the bands are for. 0:11:46.030 --> 0:11:47.930 I don't remember why this happened, but I remember one 0:11:47.970 --> 0:11:49.670 time I think I was like trying to get something 0:11:49.730 --> 0:11:51.190 out of the back of my teeth and the rubber 0:11:51.210 --> 0:11:52.449 band snapped in my mouth. 0:11:52.470 --> 0:11:55.840 Yeah, it was not a good time. I wonder when 0:11:55.860 --> 0:11:59.760 they started doing braces for humans. And I'll bet the 0:11:59.940 --> 0:12:03.400 early ones back in whenever it was were really painful. 0:12:03.860 --> 0:12:05.740 The idea of we're just going to put so much 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.380 pressure on your teeth that it causes them to move 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:14.730 and stay there is really pretty crazy idea. But, you know, 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.990 almost everybody does it. I read the stats about this 0:12:18.050 --> 0:12:19.689 when I when I first signed up for it, because 0:12:19.750 --> 0:12:23.890 it's expensive, as every parent knows. Something like two thirds 0:12:23.929 --> 0:12:27.390 of people who get braces, it's cosmetic. It's not a 0:12:27.450 --> 0:12:29.890 it's not a necessity. It's just a you want your teeth, 0:12:29.910 --> 0:12:33.069 your kid to have perfect teeth, which I didn't. I 0:12:33.090 --> 0:12:36.199 don't care about that for me or them. But his 0:12:36.260 --> 0:12:39.790 teeth were really a mess. I mean, like. A couple 0:12:39.820 --> 0:12:42.880 of unfortunate things. So it was necessary. Insurance still doesn't 0:12:42.900 --> 0:12:47.740 cover it. Still incredibly expensive. Do you want the heebie-jeebies 0:12:47.780 --> 0:12:49.540 really quick? Sure. 0:12:49.660 --> 0:12:52.760 So I had what's called an impacted cuspid. So I 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.130 had a tooth that was like behind my front row 0:12:56.410 --> 0:12:59.930 of teeth. So they put the braces on to create 0:12:59.970 --> 0:13:02.709 a gap there. And then they had to attach a 0:13:02.790 --> 0:13:05.790 chain to the tooth. And every week I'd go in 0:13:05.830 --> 0:13:09.530 and they'd turn this key. to bring the tooth down. 0:13:09.550 --> 0:13:13.590 Wow. Oh, my God. How old were you when they 0:13:13.610 --> 0:13:16.530 were putting a key in your head and turning it? 0:13:16.550 --> 0:13:18.550 I was 12 or 13. 0:13:18.550 --> 0:13:21.329 And it was just every week we had to take 0:13:21.370 --> 0:13:23.890 this half-hour drive to my orthodontist's office so I could 0:13:23.970 --> 0:13:26.030 sit down and he could put this key. 0:13:26.070 --> 0:13:30.370 It was like I looked like an old toy. But 0:13:30.490 --> 0:13:33.500 as a grown-up woman with a fabulous smile, are you 0:13:33.620 --> 0:13:36.080 happy that that happened? Oh, yeah, without a doubt. 0:13:36.660 --> 0:13:37.100 Absolutely. 0:13:38.300 --> 0:13:41.240 Let's get some headlines with Katie Green. What is everybody reporting? 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.440 Oh, all the alphabet networks talking about Trump to sign 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:46.140 this agreement. 0:13:46.220 --> 0:13:48.040 This first one's ABC News. 0:13:48.100 --> 0:13:51.400 Trump to sign agreement with leaders of Greenland and Denmark 0:13:51.590 --> 0:13:52.490 at the United Nations. 0:13:52.929 --> 0:13:58.310 Yeah, we haven't talked about that. We don't own Greenland 0:13:58.350 --> 0:14:01.189 like he originally proposed, but we're going to have two 0:14:01.230 --> 0:14:02.290 military bases there. 0:14:02.710 --> 0:14:06.859 Yeah. NBC, Trump to address the U.N. General Assembly as 0:14:06.940 --> 0:14:11.910 Iran war rumbles on. And CNN, Iran to attend the U.N. 0:14:11.929 --> 0:14:14.810 Assembly in New York, even as peace with the United 0:14:14.890 --> 0:14:16.449 States remains elusive. 0:14:16.470 --> 0:14:19.130 Yeah, Trump speaking and not that long. And we'll have 0:14:19.170 --> 0:14:20.430 some highlights a little bit later. 0:14:21.710 --> 0:14:27.430 From The Washington Post, drug cartels are making alarming drone advances. 0:14:27.450 --> 0:14:29.380 I'm sure they are. 0:14:29.850 --> 0:14:34.270 Well, they're attributing this to fighters are returning from the 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:39.120 Russia-Ukraine war and utilizing their skills and their drone knowledge 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.380 from that with the drug cartels now. 0:14:41.500 --> 0:14:48.100 And what are the drug cartels using them for? To transport. Oh, okay. Yeah, obviously. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.170 You can fly the drugs across the border or from 0:14:51.210 --> 0:14:55.630 county to county or whatever. Yeah, okay. This one from 0:14:55.650 --> 0:14:56.430 the New York Times. 0:14:57.150 --> 0:15:03.010 Many Democrats are avoiding Kamala Harris. Abdul El-Sayed is welcoming her. 0:15:04.410 --> 0:15:08.670 Hmm. Good luck with that. You mentioned this yesterday, Jack, 0:15:08.890 --> 0:15:09.190 I think. 0:15:09.870 --> 0:15:14.410 Wall Street Journal, ahead of a possible presidential bid, J.B. 0:15:14.490 --> 0:15:17.810 Pritzker says he is taking weight loss drugs. 0:15:17.910 --> 0:15:20.550 Well, it's good that he had, I don't know, denying 0:15:20.570 --> 0:15:22.610 it would have been ridiculous because he was a giant 0:15:22.710 --> 0:15:26.430 man and now he is skinny. So unless you're dying 0:15:26.450 --> 0:15:30.950 of a dread disease, that doesn't just happen. You have 0:15:30.990 --> 0:15:35.390 a GLP-1 story, don't you? Where did I hear that? Yes, 0:15:35.670 --> 0:15:42.280 there's one in our news report. Causes blindness? Vision loss, yeah. Yeah, 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:43.360 I need to look into that. 0:15:45.220 --> 0:15:49.560 USA Today, more Gen Zers are living with their parents 0:15:49.860 --> 0:15:52.160 and it's impacting their sex lives. 0:15:52.700 --> 0:15:53.240 Oh, what? 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.620 Living with your mom and dad? How's that impacting your 0:15:55.660 --> 0:16:03.670 sex life? I don't understand. Oh, my God. Well, they 0:16:03.690 --> 0:16:06.910 weren't having sex anyway, according to all studies. Yeah. It's 0:16:06.930 --> 0:16:09.750 just your excuse. I'd like to. I'd have a girlfriend 0:16:09.770 --> 0:16:11.270 if I didn't live with my mom and dad. That's 0:16:11.350 --> 0:16:15.300 exactly the angle this article takes. From the New York Post. 0:16:15.870 --> 0:16:20.610 This is just one hell of a headline. A $ 167. 0:16:18.890 --> 0:16:23.450 Million Powerball winner arrested for the fifth time after hitting 0:16:23.470 --> 0:16:27.070 the jackpot for public intoxication in a Walmart parking lot. 0:16:27.370 --> 0:16:31.940 Wow. He won how much? $ 167 million. 0:16:32.860 --> 0:16:33.420 Wow. 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.720 And what you've just said, we all dream of what 0:16:36.780 --> 0:16:38.540 we would do if we won the lottery, and his 0:16:38.660 --> 0:16:41.020 is get drunk in a Walmart parking lot, apparently. I'm 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:42.320 going to go get blasted at Walmart. 0:16:42.340 --> 0:16:42.700 Ha ha ha. 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:48.800 Live in the dream. No kidding. Oh, aim higher, friend. 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:49.940 I know, dude. 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:55.030 Study finds, similar to humans, AI judges people by their 0:16:55.130 --> 0:16:56.250 facial expressions. 0:16:56.850 --> 0:17:02.890 Huh. How? My AI ain't looking at me, I don't think. Anyway, 0:17:02.910 --> 0:17:03.770 we got to get to your joke. 0:17:04.750 --> 0:17:09.939 And finally, the Babylon Bee. Data Center disguises itself as 0:17:09.980 --> 0:17:12.460 an abortion clinic to win support from liberals. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.980 Yeah, I like that one. That's rough, but that's pretty good. 0:17:15.780 --> 0:17:18.800 On that topic of Gen Z not having sex because 0:17:18.820 --> 0:17:21.570 they live with their mom and dad, I had a 0:17:21.590 --> 0:17:24.090 conversation with somebody the other day whose kid's still living 0:17:24.130 --> 0:17:27.230 with them in their mid-20s and really unhappy with mom 0:17:27.250 --> 0:17:29.730 and dad's rules at the house. And that's a good topic. 0:17:30.270 --> 0:17:32.169 Because if you don't like the rules, maybe you ought 0:17:32.270 --> 0:17:34.409 to get your own place. But more on the way. 0:17:34.530 --> 0:17:48.060 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty are not going 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.160 to happen in that school. I can go to that 0:17:50.180 --> 0:17:57.080 school and say there's a problem and it gets fixed immediately. Man, 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.500 schooling is a topic. It's having a moment, I think, 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.119 as Joe and I have talked about, where more and 0:18:03.140 --> 0:18:05.180 more people are coming to the awareness that our school 0:18:05.220 --> 0:18:09.300 system is broken. Really, K through graduate degree, but we're 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.240 going to be focusing here on K through 12. Our 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.959 public school system is an absolute disaster, especially when you 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.560 consider how much money we spend on it. And I 0:18:19.580 --> 0:18:21.660 think everybody's starting to figure that out. And this might 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.780 have been a really good blow for that in that 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.460 one of the most famous woke people, I mean, really 0:18:30.740 --> 0:18:37.530 one of the godmothers of woke, Nicole Hannah-Jones, who was 0:18:37.670 --> 0:18:41.390 writing the 1619 Project for the New York Times Magazine 0:18:41.430 --> 0:18:44.870 back in the day, Later became a book. She was 0:18:45.310 --> 0:18:48.330 making the argument that the United States was founded on 0:18:49.270 --> 0:18:51.129 slavery and that's the only reason we even had a 0:18:51.150 --> 0:18:54.020 country and all just a whole bunch of false crap 0:18:54.060 --> 0:18:56.580 that all kinds of different people have pointed out is BS. 0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:00.440 But she became a hero. And as you may have heard. 0:19:02.290 --> 0:19:05.129 She sent publicly she made a big deal out of 0:19:05.150 --> 0:19:09.040 this back in several years ago when her when her 0:19:09.190 --> 0:19:12.359 when her daughter was young to a crappy school, her 0:19:12.420 --> 0:19:15.460 crappy local school on purpose. I will read this right now. 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.280 Choosing a school for my daughter in a segregated city 0:19:18.420 --> 0:19:22.010 was the piece that she wrote. I guess 12 years 0:19:22.050 --> 0:19:23.950 ago because her daughter is now 16. In it, she 0:19:24.010 --> 0:19:27.219 explained why she was sending her black four-year-old daughter to 0:19:27.260 --> 0:19:29.139 a bad public school when she could have sent her 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.159 to a good one or even a private school. Now 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:33.659 she's telling a different story about how that choice played out. 0:19:34.140 --> 0:19:36.400 Let me just read a little bit about this. Her 0:19:36.500 --> 0:19:39.300 theory was, and this is where it gets a little 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:43.570 complicated in our modern polarized world where you have to 0:19:43.630 --> 0:19:46.450 hate everything the bad people do and love everything the 0:19:46.490 --> 0:19:52.700 good people do. A lot of conservatives or non-woke people 0:19:52.940 --> 0:19:57.540 are pointing out Nicole Hannah-Jones coming forward and saying this 0:19:57.619 --> 0:20:00.929 experiment didn't work is a good thing and praising her 0:20:01.030 --> 0:20:03.590 for calling out her own mistake and how this didn't 0:20:03.609 --> 0:20:08.490 do any good. Her theory was she, as a high-profile... 0:20:10.100 --> 0:20:13.850 middle upper class parent was going to send her kid 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.150 to this school she was going to be very involved 0:20:16.190 --> 0:20:17.810 and she was going to try to make the school 0:20:17.850 --> 0:20:22.189 better and she failed at that 10 years later the 0:20:22.230 --> 0:20:24.570 results are in writes the free press and the skeptics 0:20:24.609 --> 0:20:27.389 have run the table by hannah jones own account her 0:20:27.450 --> 0:20:31.060 presence didn't lift up this brooklyn school the school dragged 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.379 her down her daughter and barely seemed to notice she 0:20:33.420 --> 0:20:37.040 was there let me read this part When her daughter 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:40.260 was in third grade, Hannah Jones decided to visit her 0:20:40.340 --> 0:20:43.180 school at lunchtime and found that the kids were sitting 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:47.750 there with no lunch and no adult supervision. Other kids 0:20:47.790 --> 0:20:51.090 were running wild, chasing, hitting and pushing each other while 0:20:51.109 --> 0:20:54.750 the teacher's aides and cafeteria workers stood by looking bored. 0:20:55.750 --> 0:20:57.770 At a private school, this would be an emergency that 0:20:57.830 --> 0:21:01.460 led to immediate firings. At a dysfunctional public school, it's 0:21:01.540 --> 0:21:04.560 just another day. Hannah Jones was left trying to lobby 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:08.219 an absentee principal who regularly wouldn't engage with her or 0:21:08.270 --> 0:21:12.070 wasn't in the building at all. One of the third 0:21:12.109 --> 0:21:14.649 grade teachers was absent most of the time and the 0:21:14.690 --> 0:21:17.970 substitute teacher either wasn't teaching anything or wasn't there at all. 0:21:18.550 --> 0:21:21.440 On another occasion, Hannah Jones discovered that her daughter's math 0:21:21.460 --> 0:21:25.000 homework wasn't being graded. So she had assumed that her 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:26.840 daughter was good at math when in fact she was 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.399 failing math. I've kind of had this experience before. Her 0:21:30.460 --> 0:21:34.850 writing assignments, meanwhile, were rife with uncorrected punctuation, capitalization, and 0:21:34.890 --> 0:21:38.050 grammar errors. By middle school, her daughter was receiving no 0:21:38.150 --> 0:21:41.459 homework whatsoever and was upset about it. Think about how 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.260 tragic that is. She wanted homework, but her public school 0:21:44.300 --> 0:21:51.139 teachers were too incompetent to give her any. There are 0:21:51.220 --> 0:21:53.989
