Okay, that's no summer flavor, you monsters? 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:45.879 Uh what do we got coming up later this hour? 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:50.640 It's pretty good mom dummy for mom dummies. Plus Judge 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.360 Larry are a good friend of the Armstrong and Getty show, 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:59.000 talking about the Idaho Monsters sentencing, hearing the victim impact 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.920 statements and the answered questions why are they unanswered? 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.840 Stay with us? Okay, hold me on. 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.759 I got to screen capture something that the top app 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.959 on the app store now is something new that I'd 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:12.480 never heard of. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:13.640 So we'll talk about. 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:17.480 Even if the show is being executed, it's still being formed. 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.000 This is fascinating that to you. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.720 Here are two sets of statistics that are out that 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.039 are interesting We won't dwell on this one. 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:26.160 We've talked about it a lot. 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:31.000 The US fertility rate slumped to a new low last year. 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.920 The numbers are just out unbelievable. 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.800 The United States was once among only a few developed 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:43.080 countries where the rate ensured that we were having enough 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:48.080 kids to like, you know, continue as the society, which 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.360 is about two point one kids per woman. Where now 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.400 we dipped below that. We're now way below at new low. 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.480 One point six kids per woman is our new uh. 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.760 Where we are now, We're now what we used to 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.360 look at with South Korea or various countries and. 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.880 Think, oh my god, they are doomed. That's not us. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.440 It's just going to say, we're now South Korea with 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:08.880 better baseball teams. 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:10.120 In the sixties. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:11.960 By the way, when Joe and I were born, it 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:13.560 was about three point five. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:16.320 Now one point six. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.560 Wow, that is a major change in the structure of society, 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.360 like major You can't even overstate how big deal that is. 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.000 Yeah for them, for the way people you know, put 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.280 together their lives, spend their money. 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:32.760 The things that you care. 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:38.560 About, right, politics are waves, demographics are the tide as 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.120 they say. It strikes me that my little joke about 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.400 baseball was really really appropriate because a lot of our 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:49.480 great baseball players are immigrants. And that is how the 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.960 United States population is not only stable but growing. 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.400 It's entirely immigration. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.280 And that's because that's the only way if you assume 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.520 we must have economic growth, which appears to be the 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.600 assumption of the powerful. 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:03.560 Yeah, you got to do it through immigration. 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.680 In countries like Japan that are extremely uncomfortable with immigration, 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:08.440 are really. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.280 What's the expert, Well, they're doing poorly. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:13.840 One more stat on this before I move on to 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.480 the other stuff. Birth rates are declining for women in 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.880 all age groups. So it's just across the board, people 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.440 ain't having kids. As you say all the time, I 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.000 don't think you can say this enough because it's so interesting. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:30.840 If this were happening to any other beast, we'd be 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.360 highly concerned and universal wills. 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.040 Science would be fixated on it. Yeah, if it were the. 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.760 Vole or some sort of bird or whatever they just 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.560 stopped reproducing, we'd think. 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.320 Holy crap, that's got to be bad. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.720 Why any animal would just all of a sudden stop reproducing. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.960 It's got to be horrible. We need to figure this out. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.200 But for humans, we're just like, Eh, there's a lot 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.640 on TV and TikTok and what you know anyway, and 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.160 having kids just kind of bange the ass. 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.000 So I understand this mating season. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.200 And we observed that the males were playing video games 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:07.800 and stoned and watching pornography of antelopes breeding, while the 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:12.120 women were screaming angrily in the streets about antelope rites 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.640 or how about the male buffalo can no longer get 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:17.159 an erection. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.160 It's the problem for a lot of people. 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.719 While in the female flows out of her f and 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:28.520 mind right, which we hear from our young male correspondence 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.080 semi frequently. Dude, you have no idea how crazy it 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.719 is out here. You talk to a girl for twenty 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:39.200 minutes and it's like, holy cow, it's Jay Guavera's daughter. Oh, 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.600 somebody who's explaining to me the other day about dating 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.560 on one of your online websites. And that's where sixty 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.960 percent of people meet now in the modern world. I 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.840 think they were discussing bumble, the percentage of women who 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.240 have pronouns in their little the very top line bio 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.240 where you have like the most basic stuff have their 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.240 pronouns in there, and how it's just you know, For 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.279 some people that's an automatic no, so you just go 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.560 through no, no, no, no, It doesn't matter what else 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.440 is on there if you got pronouns in there, so 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.680 there you go. Yeah, I got through third grade, so 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.960 I know which pronouns to use for you, so I 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:14.720 don't need your help. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:15.560 Obviously, it's not. 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.839 It's an indicator of a lot more that probably comes 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.839 with the pronoun package. Oh I know that. You know, 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:27.159 it's probably probably comes with being ry ry had the 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.200 list of things that come with that package would be 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.880 a lot. It's a pretty damn good indicator, as you say, 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.719 I mean, it's like really helpful. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.200 Maybe no, you're one of those I don't know. I 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:38.880 was thinking about that. 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.120 Maybe not though it could It could be a I 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.200 just thought you were supposed to do this, so I did. 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.720 And it doesn't really include a deep belief in that 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.760 sort of thing, but it might, and it say. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:49.719 Is it worth taking the chance? 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.520 Well, I would say the lads applying those waters these 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.800 days have decided to use that as an indicator, so 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:57.760 they would know better than me. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:58.479 But I don't know. 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.000 Uh, So I wanted to get to this. This is 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.560 so you can feel superior or inferior. To others, which 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.000 is really, you know what a great hobby that is. Yes, 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.400 Fox Newpoll Newspole highly respected polling organization. Percentage of people 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:16.520 rating their personal financial situation is excellent or good. So 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.040 think for yourself. Do you feel like your financial situation 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.320 is excellent or good? I feel like it's kind of 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:27.880 interesting that the highest number they ever had, and I 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:29.960 don't know how many years they've been asking this question, 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.640 probably not that long, but the highest number was June 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:39.760 of two thousand and four, right before the crash, sixty 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:44.159 two percent of Americans described their personal financial situation is 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.000 excellent or good, almost two thirds. 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:49.880 That is something, isn't it. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.000 Yeah, I'm casting my memory back to those days. Yeah, 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:54.080 that's that's interesting. 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.120 The low had been. 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:02.560 The low came almost exactly twenty years later, in May 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.240 of twenty twenty three, thirty four percent. So that have 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:10.480 been coming out of COVID all the inflation everything else. 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.960 Oh yes, right, yeah, thirty four percent, so half as 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.720 many people saying excellent are good. 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.480 Then in May of twenty twenty three. 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.080 You may recall economist Joe Getty saying at the time, 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:27.760 if inflation is high, nothing else matters. Yeah, we've crawled 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.480 out of that to a certain extent, not a lot. 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.840 The most recent numbers are from March of twenty twenty five. 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.800 It must take a while to compile these. At thirty 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.640 nine percent, thirty nine percent of people say good or excellent. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:46.160 That's not very high, not even good. You don't even 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:51.560 consider your personal financial situation good. That's not that's not good. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:56.160 In the markets, and many Americans are invested, whether through 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.000 four to one k's or whatever, in the markets. The 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.520 markets are insanely high right now, records every day. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.040 Yeah, what did you have a You know, this is 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:04.600 all an. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.080 Emotion, is not all, but a lot of It's an 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:12.240 emotional reaction as opposed to a specific nuts and boat. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.520 Don't you think specific documented if you sat down with 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.600 your numbers, you would say I'm behind or a head 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:19.080 or whatever. 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.960 Isn't an emotional feeling. So why do you think it's 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.240 so low currently? 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.160 Uncertainty? I just think there's so much uncertainty in the air, 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.480 whether it's the tariffs or the world seems nuts. That 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.880 makes me feel less secure. Uh yeah, yeah, just in general. 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.880 That's the question they ought to ask. Does the world 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:45.240 seem nuts too? That would be a great poll. Yeah, God, 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.880 if the nuts ratio is or the nuts what we 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.720 referred to as the nuts curve, if it reaches a 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.560 certain point, I think you have to interpret virtually every 0:08:55.679 --> 0:09:00.160 number through the nuts filter. We have discovered something we 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.800 need to put a name on. This is so clearly true. 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:08.280 All polls are downstream of the nuts question. Does the 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.640 world seem nuts to you right now? And I'll bet 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.240 it's I'll bet it's in the eighties. Maybe ninety percent 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.679 of people would say yes, all for different reasons, some 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.040 because this is momentous. We have actually come up with 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:21.280 an idea that matters. 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:22.679 Yeah, we got to get to somebody. We've got to 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:23.360 trademark this. 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.160 We need to get some PhDs involved in grafting the 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:28.720 question and the analysis. 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:29.360 I don't want. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.199 Any PhDs, but oh, just for the technical stime, I 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.120 think this is absolutely true. It explains all the other 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.120 numbers that sometimes you're like, why is that number that? 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.720 It's because ninety percent of people think that the world 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:46.319 is nuts right now, which might actually be pretty accurate. Again, 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.480 some people thinking because of Trump. Some people think because 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.920 of the forces aligned against Trump. Some people think because 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:57.400 maybe me too. Many people are focused on Trump or 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.400 whatever reason the world is nuts right now? How about 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.120 the sociological stuff though, all of a sudden, I'm supposed 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.040 to declare that that six foot four inch person right 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.559 there with an intact penis and testicles is a woman. 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.160 In fact, I'm ordered to say that at fear. 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:17.600 Of losing my job in some quadrants of society, that 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:18.880 you don't walk out. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:19.760 Of a situation like that. 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.200 And there are folks who listening right now who have 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.199 been in that situation. They have to take the knee, 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.880 and I have to declare, yes, that's a woman, or 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:28.920 their careers derailed. 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:30.000 You're not coming. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.640 Away from a scenario like that, And then saying, on 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.400 the other hand, and my finances are great and I'm 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:39.120 feeling good about everything. No, it's profoundly disturbing, which factors 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.520 into the nutscrap Sure where the media landscape or the 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.719 couple of wars is going on, or the fact that 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.319 we now recognize China as such an enemy, or all 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.560 these different things factor into the you feel like the 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.120 world is nuts. So how about progressives turning criminals loose 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.320 from prisons because of some bizarro notion that threatens your security. 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.679 That's a little nuts and simply Save home security. Our 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.880 good friends and sponsors are here to help you with that. 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:04.600 Yeah. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.679 The fact that people can get caught committing crimes and 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.440 they don't go to jail, that's pretty damned nuts, and 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.760 it's a good reason to have the best home security 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.040 system of twenty twenty five.

Yes. 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.640 As recently as two thousand and four, two thirds of 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:20.400 Americans said their personal financial situations excellent are good? Now 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:25.160 it's thirty nine percent. Your politics coming out of that 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:29.680 will be powerful, no doubt about it. Here's our text 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.120 line if you want to comment on any of that. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:41.439 Four one five two nine five KFTC. God doesn't want 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.360 me to sleep a text I got from my son 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.720 as I was just about to drift off to sleep. 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.080 Oh, he texted. 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:52.960 Me, hope you're not asleep yet, Dad, And it all 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.840 unfolded from there and it was many hours before I 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.840 laid back down in bed. More on that later coming up, 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.440 we'll talk to Judge Larry Goodman about the sentencing hearing 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:06.440 of the sub human scum in Idaho. But first, it's Mom, 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:12.840 Dammy from mum Dummies. I feel like you're too I 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.920 feel like you're too proud of this. I am enjoying 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.319 it a little bit. Yes, I found this so interesting. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:24.240 It's some economic analysis by a fellow by the name 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.840 of Ryan Salaam. But one of the most important things 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.719 to understand about Momdami, the thirty three year old socialist 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.560 who stunned the political establishment blah blah blah Democratic mayoral 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.680 New York blah blah blah, is he has spent his 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.320 young adult life much worse off than his parents. He 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.720 knows the sting of having grown up in bourgeois comfort 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.120 only to find himself scrambling to pay the rent in 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.720 a less fashionable neighborhood. That experience is a major reason 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.199 why he's emerged as the darling of the millennial Left, 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.360 a movement defined by its sense of downward mobility. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:55.960 Well, was it a. 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.240 Fact that he didn't have a job the reason he 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.520 was struggling? Because I haven't heard him by it having 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:01.000 a job. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:01.360 Really. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.480 So, his dad was a tenured professor is at Columbia 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.320 University and a prominent left wing intellectual. And his mom 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:15.160 was a renowned Indian filmmaker Indian or similar, I mean 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:20.520 her Her directorial debut was Salam Bombay Exclamation Points was 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.720 released to global acclaim when she was thirty one years old. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.640 So she is a monster talent in that you know 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:28.840 area of cinema. 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.200 But if mom's an artist and dad's a Columbia professor, 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.880 you're gonna end up with a certain kind of kid. Yeah, 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.920 no kidding, But anyway, that whole well, he's less successful 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:37.480 than his parents. 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:38.320 Therefore not too that. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.680 It sounds like an opinion, but this is the interesting 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.960 port a part. Drawing on decades of IRS data, researchers 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.440 at Opportunity Insights and Economic Policy Institute found that among 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:53.600 Americans born in nineteen forty, ninety two percent earned more 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.520 than their parents at age thirty. Wow, just for information everything, 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.480 that is ninety two percent. For the I was born 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:05.360 in nineteen eighty four, only fifty percent did half, and 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.960 that decline has political consequences. Half seems pretty good to me. 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:13.000 If you can't expect that forever, can you? Well, if 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.960 you've come from you know, three four consecutive generations, where yes, 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:20.880 absolutely you can. Sociologically that's a huge change. But shift 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.040 the data a little more data before we get to analysis. 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:28.640 Researchers at this economics lab found a strong correlation between 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.880 perceiving yourself to be less well off than your parents, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.560 and zero sum thinking, or the belief that gains for 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.720 some people come at the expense of others. Oh right, 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.040 which is a profoundness understanding of how economies work. 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:45.800 And a good way to end up miserable the rest 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:46.280 of your life. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:52.040 And socialist or communist, which more guarantee you're miserable for 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:52.880 the rest of your life. 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:54.680 Yes, yeah, no kidding. 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.560 Roughly forty percent of the nation's seventy two million millennials, 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.960 that's folks born between eighty one to ninety six, live 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:06.840 in high cost, hyper competitive metropolitan areas where milestones such 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.880 as owning a home or paying off student loan debt 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.640 can loom as distant dreams, so they really perceive themselves 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.440 to be worse off than their parents, who talked about 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.920 buying their first house at twenty seven or whatever. Between 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.160 millennials who are worse off than their parents and those 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.920 who believe they're worse off and those who live in 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.160 dysfunctional blue state metros or house hunting can feel like 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.080 the Hunger Games. America has a critical mass of people 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:35.640 whose expectations of intergenerational progress have gone sour, and therefore 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.440 they think it's a zero sum game, and if Mamdani 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.040 promises he's gonna take from them. 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.320 They're like good, because that's the only way I can 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:47.320 get ahead. I found that really interesting. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:52.360 Yeah, well, yeah, the mindset of if I don't have 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.840 much at somebody else's fault is God again talk about 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.320 dooming yourself to misery for the rest of your life, 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.680 right extension that the only way that I can gain 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.320 is if somebody else loses. And then the other part 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:10.520 of if you have very successful parents or your dad 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:15.200 successful or whatever, do you have to surpass them. If 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.960 you don't surpass them, you've failed Somehow that seems unrealistic. Well, 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:23.720 you're arguing with human psychology. I think you might be right, 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.520 and people would be wise to adopt that point of view, 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.680 But I mean, that's just not the way people are. 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.159 A couple more stories that we don't even have time for. 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:36.000 But AOC and Mamdani and the like are raking in 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:42.400 cash as the rest of the party flounders. The radical 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.800 left is where the money is right now in terms 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.320 of fundraising, which is the only reason politicians get up 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.919 in the morning. Yeah, well, I got some easy analysis 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.200 of that. I think we'll get to later. And then 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:54.919 the final thing that I really wanted to get to. 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:59.199 Socialists are on Mumdanni proposed as government owned supermarkets for 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.959 New York City, and the city has tried this and 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.720 it is flopped. It is a miserable failure. I can't 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.960 believe Kansas City tried it. I want to hear more 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.240 about that. I got it for you anytime. 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:11.920 Wow. 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:13.840 Okay, we got a lot of really good stuff today. 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.200 I don't know how that happened, but I'm stick around. 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:17.160 It's gonna be fantastic. 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.520 Armstrong and Getty. I made eye contact with him and 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.679 he was enraged. He was just enraged. So you know, 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.480 mission accomplished. You know we can move on now. He 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:31.840 said what we needed to say. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.760 A faceless coward reached the tranquility of six beautiful young 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:45.080 people and senselessly slaughtered them, four of them. The person 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.920 that slithered through that sliding glass door at one one 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:51.399 two two King Road now stands before the world, and 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.320 this court unmasked. 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.359 No parent should ever have to bury your child. 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:58.760 In my view, the time has now calmed to in 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.240 mister Colberger's fifteen minutes of fame. 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.359 So that's the judge in the hearing. 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.040 The sentencing hearing yesterday from the scumbag up in Idaho, 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.760 and that was a dad before that, So yeah, the 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.200 judge could barely get through that screed without breaking down. 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:17.360 The crime's so horrific and needless and idiotic. To discuss 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.399 the hearing in several different ways, we're joined by Larry Goodman, 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.960 retired judge for the Superior Court in California. 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.000 Larry, it's always great to talk to you. How are you. 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:30.879 I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on. 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.919 Of course, Yeah, thanks for being here. So any general 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.040 impressions from the hearing? What's it like to be in 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.840 a courtroom with a monster like that? What's it like 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.040 for the families to finally speak their piece? 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:42.960 Any thoughts? 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:49.760 Well, it's always emotional. Sometimes there's not a dry eye 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.080 in the house. Judges had certain ways to deal with that. 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.639 I used to keep a bunch of pictures on my 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.240 bench that I could look at to try to get 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.440 out of the emotions. But it's it's tough because you're 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:05.879 in there with pure evil and generally people like this guy. 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.880 They have we used to call shark eyes. There's no spirit, 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:13.679 there's no soul, and you know, they can say things 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.960 to him and they may think that they're impacting him, 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:22.840 but people like Picker then or sociopaths, uh, they're incapable 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:27.320 of remorse. And it's so it makes it's good catharsis 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.439 for the family members to speak, but it's it's just 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:32.120 tough for everybody that's in that room. 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:34.159 Yeah, I got some questions about that, but before we do, 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.280 I think listeners probably had the same question, I do 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.119 what do you mean by you had pictures sitting there 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:42.800 in the courtroom you would look at to try to 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:44.760 get over your emotionally. 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.840 I would have family pictures. I would have pictures of Katie, 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.800 my wife, places we've been, and I kept them on 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.639 my bladder on my bench. And uh, because most of 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.600 the cases I did were homicide cases and a fair 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.800 amount of death penalty cases. And sometimes you just need 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.240
