WEBVTT - Nothing Feeds My Soul Like Doomscrolling 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.200 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong in Shoe, Ketty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.239 Armstrong and Getty and Key Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.280 Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will reportedly 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.680 not be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:32.720 during his first year of eligibility, but he still plans 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:38.080 to continue dating women during their first year of eligibility. 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.880 Is the dating shot? That is such a dumb thing, 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.000 Such a dumb thing. Now, I guess the whoever's in 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.560 charge of the Hall of Fame is looking at booting 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.800 out members that didn't vote for Belichick. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.239 It's just just really dumb. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're doing 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:51.839 some sort It was. 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.000 A protest against the cheating jack deflate gate. How could 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:59.360 you forget that video taping gate or whatever. The guy 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.600 has eight Super Bowl rings. He has double the next 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.440 closest coach in NFL history eight super Bowl rings six 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.240 six is the head coach, and too his an assistant. 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.559 I mean, it's just it's just dumb. It's dumb. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.480 They didn't They don't like him for variety of reasons, 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.800 because he treated the press poorly and and didn't give 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.120 him answers and didn't play the game, and the whatever 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.520 grumpy lobster boat captain. 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.120 Deserves to be in the h o f Come on, 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.399 of course, come on, it's a hilarious question. 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:32.160 I've never been to the Hall of Fame. Have you 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:33.000 been to the Hall of Fame? 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:33.880 No? 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.000 Yeah, I should go sometime. I always wanted to as 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.280 a kid. Watkins's underwhelming as the rock I found the 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:40.080 rock and Roll. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:40.320 Hall of Fame. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.240 I enjoyed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.600 you know I wouldn't like go to Cleveland to see it. 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.680 And hell no, if you're in Cleveland, go ahead. What 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:51.440 else are you gonna do? 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:56.560 Anyway? So, speaking of grumpy older men Donald J. 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.760 Trump, William Holman writes for the Wall Street Journal, and 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.080 he was actually writing about a handful of things, but 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.080 he addressed in a way that I found enlightening. Your 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.120 the answer to your frequent question, Jack, will we get 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:14.640 back to a more normal feel of politics in the 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.400 post Trump era inevitably comes? 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.120 I now believe No, I'm beginning to believe. Yes. Oh, 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.359 I hope you're right and we'll be wrong. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.480 Will lead up to that, he's writing about the whole 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:33.280 Davos thing, and he said, lacking in last week's Davos 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:38.320 hysteria is any sense of politics in that Trump's address 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.360 was a stump speech for channel flickers at home on 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.680 the way to dropping the Greenland threat that he so 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.600 typically parlayed into global attention. 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:47.560 Guess who else is a politician? 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.519 Every national leader in the room in Davos, who all 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.600 have voters back home. Mark Carney could not have bothered 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.200 getting back on his plane unless he found a suitably 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.240 viral way to express what Canadian voters were feeling about 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.200 mister Trump at the moment. So that's what he did. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.360 He unloaded a blast of a speech. And yet NATO 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:09.680 will survive and stronger because the Allies are worth having 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.240 now because they're beating their game up William Rich. But anyway, 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.519 say what you will about the Davosites, they are worldly 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.520 types to understand regression to the mean, which is a 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.440 fancy term for getting back to normal. More or less, 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.440 the next US president won't be anything like mister Trump, 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.760 most importantly, lacking the license he gave himself to behave 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.559 the way he does by being Donald Trump in public. 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.160 For forty years before he became president. 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.960 Yeah, I don't know if I buy that. I mean true, 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:43.560 Nobody's going to come into office with the persona that 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.000 Trump built up over many, many, many many years. But 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:50.760 Jade Vance could be pretty close and behavior. Yeah, yeah, well, 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.200 let's let's get to that. Let me lay out his reasoning. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:57.240 Then we'll we'll analyze some of the players. B Oh, 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:57.680 here it is. 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.640 Nor will the next president's way be paid by the 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.040 political gold that mister Trump got from the idiocies of 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:08.640 Adam Schiff, Rachel Medeow, James Comy, and the Biden's Joe 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.000 and Hunter, who might as well have been on the Trump. 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:11.920 Payroll, No kidding. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.520 Nor will he or she benefit from the nakedly commercial 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:20.280 ratings based codependency of mister Trump and his cable TV detractors, 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.000 also a product of his unique career path. Here, every 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:25.760 waa a second, he or she you need to have 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.440 a pause for laugh after that? Oh stah, will you 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:34.880 pig shit pig peg peg female president. At every opportunity, 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.800 headline writers to find mister Trump as an outlier, a 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.680 norm breaker, an offender against all that is holy, That is, 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.600 until he opens his mouth at Davos. Then he becomes 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:50.240 alarmingly synonymous with the US. But Dava's sites aren't fulled. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.040 They know that Trump is not a country of three 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.320 hundred and forty million people. They may even know a 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.120 bit of electoral history blah blah, b not worth going 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:05.440 into the history. Essentially, the US will return too close 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.559 to the mean soon. 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:13.720 I hope, see I'm saying, And it's not on all things. 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:19.040 Anybody who well right, whipping up hate and fear and 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.240 indignation to raise money online will not change. But his 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.800 argument is essentially, and anybody who's like actually taking physics 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.919 could probably explain this better than I can. But I 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.840 was doing a little medicine ball stuff at the Jim 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.400 the other day, you know, And if you throw the 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.599 medicine ball at the wall at twenty miles per hour, 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.160 it comes back with a certain amount of energy. If 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.000 you throw it at the wall at fifty miles per hour, 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.280 it comes back with much more energy. I think it 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:48.240 takes Trumpian energy to generate anti Trumpian energy. 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.200 Yeah, what I meant is I hope some things don't 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:56.120 return to the mean. I'd like calmer, more gentlemanly conversations. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:57.760 I would like to go back to that. I think 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:58.880 that'd be good for everybody. 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.680 But I don't like returning to the mean means and 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.960 NATO goes back to not funding their militaries and counting 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:06.680 on the United States to do all that depends. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.479 I don't want to return to that mean for instance. 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.080 Right, my hope, which will probably be dashed, but I'll 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.400 hold on to it. I'll cuddle it at night to 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.000 help me go to sleep, is that there are very 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:17.719 smart people. 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.760 And JD. Vance is a great example. 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:24.680 Of this, who is watching and listening and learning and 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.280 saying to himself, if I can do the seventy five 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.400 percent that's productive and lead off, leave off the undisciplined 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:33.839 twenty five percent of Trump's Act. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:35.000 I hit a home run. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.080 Marco Rubio could pull it off. Jade Vance could pull 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:44.040 it off. I think I hope that that's what's happening well, 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.360 and again, this my wishes might be the father of 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.440 my thoughts here. But I'm seeing a lot greater visibility 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:56.320 of the Josh Shapiros and the Rams Immanuel and moderate 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:00.479 sane Democrats who are convinced that a return to something like, 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.360 you know, gentle minliness and reaching across the island is 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.560 what the American people want, I hope, so, yeah, I 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.880 don't know if you go ahead. Well, I was gonna say, 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.280 speaking to Joshapiro, We've got a pretty amusing clip from 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.160 him as long as his name came up. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.440 Okay, yeah, why don't we go ahead and do it? 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.160 He was being interviewed on the Raging Moderates podcast, speaking 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.440 of moderates, and it was he was asked about the 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.400 Biden administration and big government programs and that sort of 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.440 Thing's thirty five Michael Josh. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:33.960 Biden Harrison administration didn't provide those specific tangible things that 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.840 people could see or feel. I'll give you a very specific, 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.720 concrete example. One of the biggest things holding back our 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:47.280 rural communities is a lack of high speed affordable internet. 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.080 Some people call that broadband. I've got two hundred and 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.480 forty six thousand homes and businesses without it. I was 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:59.200 incredibly proud of President Biden when they got that Infrastructure 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:03.120 Bill passed to provide the billions of dollars that were 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:07.600 needed to plug everybody and connect everybody in Pennsylvania. And 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.960 do you know how many people Scott this many years 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.520 later have been connected to high speed affordable internet thanks 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:21.040 to President Biden's law in Pennsylvania zero because the dollars 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:22.600 were never driven out. 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:23.920 Wow. 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.160 Well, that's the whole abundance thing that some Democrats are 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.040 working that you know, we have lots, but we need 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.920 to figure out it's not the programs are bad, we 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:34.120 don't implement them. 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:38.360 Properly, right and or you know, something we're railing about 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.800 all the time. Josh Shapiro, who's the governor of Pennsylvania 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.120 if you don't really follow politics, is saying, yeah, we 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.840 like spray out this money, but it doesn't help the people. 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.319 We're just handing out the money to hand out the money. Yeah, 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:53.400 that's that abundance book. 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.439 That's one of the main things is that we you know, 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.959 we're not being effective. We have these policies and then 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.600 nothing ever actually gets fixed, which is not a bad argument, 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.920 but it you know, I'm not on board with all 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:04.400 these pulsa. 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.040 I don't think WiFi is a. 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.520 Human right, so not you know, don't know that I 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.120 need to pay for everybody else's WiFi. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:12.000 Yeah. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.720 I think the general principle though, is I right love, 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.080 I love to hear people, absolutely. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:17.520 You know. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.560 It's also a problem if you go to the gym 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.240 and you have a coregasm, the danger of coorgasms and 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:28.200 more importantly, the danger of clickbait and stupid stories coming up. 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.400 Wait, wait a minute, So work from our friends at 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.600 rough Greens.

I think 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:47.720 that I've seen three times already today because I guess 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.480 you'll work your core at the gym and it rhymes 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.360 with ore, which is the first part of orgasm, and 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.680 then you got a hot chick and claiming that you know, 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.439 you know how this holg baang works. 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:01.040 Yesterday at choir practice, I almost had coral. I mean, 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:05.600 what are you doing here? What is this New York Post? 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:07.240 I assume it's the. 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.360 New York Yeah, and the California and the New California Post. 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:16.800 We got that another not so dumb stuff on the way. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.480 He's going to face serious charges and the fact that 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.800 the spray may have been harmless, it doesn't amount to 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.920 it not being a threat. Someone who comes in with 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:31.000 a fake bomb is still charged with serious criminal charges. 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.440 Yeah, that's what I was saying yesterday. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.440 I mean, we have, especially since nine to eleven, we 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.080 have so many different sorts of terrorism and charges against 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.040 a you know, threatening or attacking public officials. That guy 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.120 could spend if they decided to prosecute. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.600 It, a long time in jail. Yeah. 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.319 Yeah, that was a seriously stupid move. Bet he's completely 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.640 nuts an they nuts or a half whit? 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:53.840 Yeah an idiot? 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.920 Yeah, coorgasms aren't as rare as you. 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.719 Think, Joe. They are. 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:04.959 So you got this obviously hot young woman because that's 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.000 the only part sort of person that starts this sort 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.080 of thing, and she has hundreds of thousands of people 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.840 who follow her on Instagram, and you people are morons. 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.760 You're absolutely paste eating. Don't ever talk to me morons. 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:18.000 If you follow. 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.640 Influencers like this, you only get one life. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:21.599 Are you aware of that? 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.679 And you spend any of your time looking at pictures 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:26.439 of somebody like. 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.520 This to see what she thinks about things? The hell 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:30.760 is wrong with people? 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:35.760 Well, they're a certain percentage of the population are dim wits. God, 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.200 i'd say, but but why are you offended by that? 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.000 Tim Witz need dim witted entertainment because I think it 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:43.880 gives us that right. 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.200 I think it gives us the culture and politics that 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.719 we have. That people are too dumb and spend and 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.000 paying attention. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:50.600 To crap like this. 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.560 I would like to have an honest discussion with UH, 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.280 and you'd never you could never get it going. But 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.679 ask you know, democratic activists, really, any activist, any political consultants. 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.960 Do you think people who are really dumb should vote? 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.720 I mean people who, through no fault of their own, 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.800 do not have the intellectual capacity to understand any of 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.760 the issues or how governance works. 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.880 Should they vote? No, they should not. 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.000 So this UH leads this hot young chick who was 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.240 an influencer, says she was at the gym doing leg raises, 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.640 and after doing about ten leg raises, you know, like 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.839 for your year year year, you're well your core. H. 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.960 I started to feel a tingle in my body. I thought, 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.760 surely that's not how it's meant to feel. I was 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.280 sweating and could feel a similar sensation to what I'd 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.640 normally experienced in the bedroom. As I noticed the climax building, 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.920 I panicked and had to stop. I don't know if 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.280 my heavy breathing was a giveaway to everyone around me. 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:53.440 Nicknamed coorgasms, exercise induced orgasms are fairly rare, but certainly 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:57.080 not unheard of. According to doctor Debbie Hebernik, a sex 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:01.400 researcher and the author of the Coregasm War, estimates that 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:05.520 roughly ten percent of people have orgasms. Have you either 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.760 had one, Katie, or been in a gym and heard 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.559 one obviously happening? 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:09.840 You know? 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.240 Two rows over? No, No, I have not, I'll have 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:13.960 what she's having. 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:21.160 As the joke goes, there was not a single sentence 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:22.560 of that that wasn't bold. 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:26.360 They generally feel similar to orgasms from vaginal intercourse, but 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.800 they tend to be more dull, less intense, and more tingly. Well, 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.040 apparently you've been with me, says the sex researcher, who 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.920 has a workout book going right anyway, So just the 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.320 existence of this sort of thing makes me so sad. 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.360 Was it Barnum who said a fool and his money 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:48.520 are soon parted? 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.120 Or is that like an ancient I think he was? 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.280 He was a sucker is born every minute. Wasn't that 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:53.680 all right? 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:53.840 Right? 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:54.000 Right? 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:54.320 Yeah? 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.040 But anyway, a fool and their attention are soon parted 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.680 ought to be the modern expression, which might be more time, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.760 which is actually more valuable than your money, because you 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.360 don't get the in your time limited don't spend it 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:07.600 on in influencers. 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.480 How much time have I got right here, Michael, I'd 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.920 say you got about three months looking at you? Okay, 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.000 how about now three minutes in this segment. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:15.280 Okay. 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.440 So I don't think I've talked about this on the air. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.280 It's turned out to be just such a pain. So 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:25.400 when we left New Orleans, we traveled. We each had 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.320 backpacks we took on the plane, and then we had 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.600 one great, big giant bag for our other stuff that 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.160 I actually checked as we were traveling around over our 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.680 Christmas break. And then when we left our fabulous hotel 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.280 in New Orleans, for whatever reason, left the giant bag 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.160 in the hotel, got it all packed up and everything, 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.520 and left it there. We got we got out of 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.880 the uber at the airport, I was like, who's got 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:47.600 the big bag? I thought you had the big bag 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.600 because my son and sons I'd always have my son's pullet, 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.040 and neither one of them had, so anyway, it's on me. 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.480 But so none of us had grabbed it out of 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.040 the hotel. I felt like a complete idiot. Was hoping 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.000 that this was not something that couldn't be dealt with 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.960 if I called the hotel and I said, I feel 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:03.480 like any and it said, you know, it happens. You 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.680 wouldn't believe it happens all the time. Every single day 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.920 we deal with this. We have a routine, so we 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.000 we we FedEx is right downstairs, so you know, blah 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.880 blah blah, FedEx will contact to you, paying me. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:13.680 You get it shipped home. 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:18.160 Fantastic, not a big problem. Doesn't arrive when it's supposed 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.560 to arrive. The tracking is weird. It's like, looks like 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.200 it's going places and it's not supposed to go. I 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.920 probably should have intervened there, but anyway, never shows up. 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:31.000 Call FedEx and uh start asking about the tracking number 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.400 and they say, uh, we we don't know where it is. 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.680 I said, what do you mean you don't know where 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:38.440 it is? We don't know where it is. So you're 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.240 gonna have to contact the shipper. Why do you have 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.200 to contact the shipper. You're gonna have to have the shipper. 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.320 Shipper look into this. Well, I'm kind of the shipper. 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.640 I paid for it, But did you drop it off? No? Well, 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.080 you're gonna have to have the person that dropped it 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.920 off call. Why do I need to do that? Because 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.080 they're the ones that instigated the shipping, but you had 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.200 it at one point. It's right here in your information. 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.080 You had it, and you have the tracking number, and 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.160 you were sending in around places. So the thing that 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.200 had that tracking number where it is, You'll have to 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.760 ask the shipper. And it just kept saying over by 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.080 the way, in a thick accent from some other land. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.280 So think that I could barely understand what was going on. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.560 And it took me like twenty minutes to finally get 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.679 to the person, and I went, I've gone through this 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.879 over and over and over again. And I contact the 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:20.720 hotel and they're like, what are you talking about? 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.520 We said, what do you want us to do? Yeah? Exactly. 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.400 The Hotel's like, what am I supposed to do about this? Yeah? 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.760 We did our part, yeah, yeah exactly. And I paid 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:30.200 for the shipper and I can just get no. 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.000 And so then you do a claim and I don't 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:33.800 know if you've ever done this in before, but a 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:35.600 claim and I could get a maximum. 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:37.400 I've got like probably in. 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:41.800 Terms of clothes, shoes, the bag, about three grand invested 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.359 in this. I can get a maximum of one hundred 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.199 dollars back if I have the receipts for everything in 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:49.719 the bag. 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.200 I don't know about you, but I don't have. 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.640 The receipts from my boots that I bought four years ago, 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:55.800 or my jeans that I bought last year. 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.120 Can you imagine the stacks of receipts in the filing 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.680 system you would have to have to actually have done that. 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:02.680 That's ridiculous. 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.800 I have to post the receipts to get anything back, 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.200 to even get the one hundred dollars. So it's basically 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.879 service good luck. It's what they say to you if 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.080 you ever lose something. Just a heads up if you 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:14.560 ever do that. 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:20.080 Armstrong and getty. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Palell on the 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.399 Central Bank's first interest rate decision of twenty twenty six. 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.240 In support of our goals today, the Federal Open Market 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.760 Committee decided to leave our policy rate unchanged. 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.600 The Federal Reserve taking its time bringing interest rates down 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.080 and seeing little urgency with government data pointing to slower 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.040 job growth but a relatively low unemployment. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.199 Rate and inflation EBBG. 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.879 Yeah, so the whole interest rate thing, and then you know, 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:46.800 you still see the independence of the Fed because Trump 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:51.520 has obviously pressured the guy a lot, and they didn't 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.359 do what he wanted. He wants to lower interust rates 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:57.480 interest rates because that tends to fire up the economy. 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.159 Funny thing about and we won't get off on this 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.280 because it's a long boring thing. But I've been taking 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.720 any more information about the whole FED and how there's 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.280 just no justification for it. Constitutionally, it shouldn't exist. Yet 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.560 everybody thinks it's a weird beast, but everybody thinks it 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.760 works really well, and it has worked well, and the 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:14.040 world really respects it. 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.399 So but it doesn't make any sense. 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:20.240 And monetary policy really shouldn't be in the hands of politicians. 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.440 Well, it definitely doesn't make sense that it's part of 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:24.320 the executive branch. 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:25.560 But Trump can't fire him. 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:29.560 That doesn't make any sense, and it reminds me weirly 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.800 he can actually legally probably, but just traditionally it would 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.280 be breaking with the independence, which it. 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.320 Would cause enormous economic shots like all over the world. 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.639 It reminds me of like, you know, the French system, 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.320
