Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Gatty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: Facebook parent company Meta is more than doubling the size
Speaker 2: of its data center in Richland Parish, a fifty billion
Speaker 2: dollar project so big ten power plants need to be
Speaker 2: built to supply it with electricity. The governor, praising the
Speaker 2: economic impact, is going to create seventy five hundred construction jobs,
Speaker 2: more than a thousand permanent, high paying jobs.
Speaker 1: Nearly nineteen hundred additional indirect jobs.
Speaker 2: The data center could eventually use six times more power
Speaker 2: per day than the entire city of New Orleans on
Speaker 2: the hottest day of summer.
Speaker 1: So the whole data center debate thing because AI is
Speaker 1: the future of the world and we're gonna need all
Speaker 1: these big computer power plants to keep everything going and
Speaker 1: everything like that. Elon's planning to build them up in space.
Speaker 1: That's what he's going to do. But as far as
Speaker 1: the ones on the ground, I came across a post.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is true or not, but
Speaker 1: some smart person explaining on how so much of this
Speaker 1: is driven by China. They started this argument in the
Speaker 1: United States. It's a whole bunch of Chinese bots convincing
Speaker 1: people that you're gonna lose all your water and your
Speaker 1: electricity bills will go sky high and all this sort
Speaker 1: of stuff if you end up with a data center
Speaker 1: in your town.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Russia and China are both financing a lot of
Speaker 3: this stuff. It's crazy because.
Speaker 1: They don't want us to have the lead in AI.
Speaker 3: At the same time that politician rattling off how many
Speaker 3: jobs would be created and the rest of it, I'm
Speaker 3: reminded of what you said that doctor wants to told
Speaker 3: you ask your patient how much they exercise? Cut that
Speaker 3: in half, ask them how much they drink double that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you really have to do that for this factory well
Speaker 3: trade fifty thousand, high paying permanent job.
Speaker 1: No one never does. That reminds me. I have a
Speaker 1: physical today and I had to fill out the questionnaire
Speaker 1: before the physical today. I want to talk about that later.
Speaker 1: You talk about some questions that your doctor and your
Speaker 1: health people have no need to be asking whatsoever? Just crazy.
Speaker 1: That's socialism, isn't it wolkness or dei or something.
Speaker 3: What were you to say? What's sodomy and what's not doctor. Oh,
Speaker 3: my god, that reminds me. I got to be vague
Speaker 3: about this, But my daughter and a law school friend
Speaker 3: have visited fairly recently, and this gal, oh, she is
Speaker 3: so bright, so dedicated. She is on the track of
Speaker 3: prosecuting child molesters and people who victimized children. It's really
Speaker 3: different work, and it's tough on your side. By God,
Speaker 3: she is dedicated and doing great work. But she uh,
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna I'm gonna keep this gentlemanly, and I
Speaker 3: beg everyone involved in the program to do the same.
Speaker 3: There is a huge overlap between those who had victimize
Speaker 3: children and those who are into shall we call it
Speaker 3: barnyard encounters? Really yes, because it's all about taboos and
Speaker 3: the farthest you can go, Oh, they're just they're triggers,
Speaker 3: no longer tripped by anything within the reasonably could be
Speaker 3: called normal sexual activity.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, huge cross that. I didn't know that. I
Speaker 1: thought some always all my life, I've thought their brains
Speaker 1: were wired from something that happened in adolescent something or other.
Speaker 1: But for a lot of people, it's just outside of
Speaker 1: the norm. So, whether it's the awfulness of kids and
Speaker 1: I think you should be extracted, by the way for that, executed.
Speaker 1: I'm bine with executing you for doing that. Or barnyard animals. Yeah, indeed,
Speaker 1: do we know which barnyard animals are most likely? Oh?
Speaker 3: They are a handful that seem to be frequent choices,
Speaker 3: the classic the sheep, of course.
Speaker 1: So often chickens make the news. Chickens, Yes, feel like
Speaker 1: that gets into the news way too often. On a
Speaker 1: bun Yes, in my bed, No, let's see your bed. Yes,
Speaker 1: they usually bring the animal to the bed. I think
Speaker 1: you go to their place? Yes, as it were?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, And she told an absolutely fascinating story
Speaker 3: about one. A couple of fellows got arrested three times
Speaker 3: for consorting with equines horses. But oh see, I probably
Speaker 3: shouldn't even started down this road. Turned out they had
Speaker 3: to turn them loose, though, because the statue only called
Speaker 3: for pictures to be arrested and these fellas were catching what. Yes,
Speaker 3: this is I'm you know what, I apologize. Let's just
Speaker 3: Michael rewind me.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Michael's chomp. Michael is chomping at the bit
Speaker 1: for his favorite joke when it comes back to.
Speaker 3: Make them wear a bit because It reminds me of
Speaker 3: some of his ex girlfriends.
Speaker 1: Wow, Michael, go ahead, means name exactly.
Speaker 3: I knew you were loaded for that one. Oh gosh,
Speaker 3: what the heck? Grod data centers? Did your daughter and
Speaker 3: her friend wear the death pants? Because they're very popular
Speaker 3: with young women. We'll get to that story coming up
Speaker 3: in a little bit.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned.
Speaker 3: The other data center story that I found was super interesting.
Speaker 3: The journal was reporting yesterday about all these folks in
Speaker 3: rural I think it was Gosh, was it Virginia, where
Speaker 3: they're pretty uh willing to let the data centers get built.
Speaker 3: But they highlighted this couple, a couple of their hog
Speaker 3: farmers barely getting by, and they sold their X number acres.
Speaker 3: I can't remember how much it was, but they got
Speaker 3: twenty two million dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I can see the pushback on this. Uh.
Speaker 1: I'm from small town America and my experience has been Yeah,
Speaker 1: people get excited about the revenue when some big company
Speaker 1: comes to town, but it changes your town for the
Speaker 1: worst in so many different ways.
Speaker 3: So well, after I get twenty two million dollars, I'm
Speaker 3: not going to be in that town.
Speaker 1: Well you're yeah, you're just.
Speaker 3: Go off to the islands and consort with the with
Speaker 3: the j LO as just.
Speaker 1: The people who own that farm. Yeah, I understand that,
Speaker 1: but for the whole town. But these data centers, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have this giant, ugly building outside of town and
Speaker 1: like giant, like you can't even picture how big it is,
Speaker 1: because we've never seen buildings this big, most of us
Speaker 1: on the edge of town that has like four employees
Speaker 1: because it's all data center stuff, sucking up electricity like crazy,
Speaker 1: and just not really doing that much for your town.
Speaker 3: Not really, no, no, although they'll probably pay a huge
Speaker 3: amounts of tax probably, which which helps. But speaking of tech,
Speaker 3: and this was really the story we wanted to bring
Speaker 3: up was Apple has declared war on open Ai. In
Speaker 3: one of his last acts as Apple CEO, Tim Cook
Speaker 3: filed lawsuit alleging that senior open Ai executive a a
Speaker 3: senior executive who once sat atop Apple's own product design team,
Speaker 3: was involved in a month long camp, months long campaign
Speaker 3: to steal Apple trade secrets.
Speaker 1: And it's interesting.
Speaker 3: This writer for the Wall Street Journal, whose name is
Speaker 3: Ralph Winkler, wish my name is Rolf Winkler. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 3: he says, It's not clear.
Speaker 4: How strong this case is that the guy actually stole
Speaker 4: from them, But what is clear is that open ai
Speaker 4: is the latest in the line of Google, Samsung, Meta, Microsoft,
Speaker 4: Amazon that have all tried to run a physical device
Speaker 4: up the flagpole that uses their software and will supplant
Speaker 4: the iPhone, the iPad, et cetera.
Speaker 3: And open ai thinks, yeah, we got the software everybody wants.
Speaker 1: Apple's embarrassing itself in.
Speaker 3: The AI realm. We're going to try it out a smartphone.
Speaker 3: We're gonna beat him at their own game. And Apple
Speaker 3: is concerned. That's interesting. I wonder why none of the
Speaker 3: other companies have rolled out a smartphone with their product
Speaker 3: on it. Well, they a lot of them have, that's
Speaker 3: the point. This is the latest Google, Samsung, Microsoft, all
Speaker 3: of them have. Yeah, but there's not a as far
Speaker 3: as I know, Anthropic Phone. That's the number one AI
Speaker 3: company in the world, right right, Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 1: According to Elon that Anthropic is currently far and away
Speaker 1: the best AI product out there, which is interesting. Like
Speaker 1: I was doing, I don't I don't know where some
Speaker 1: of this stuff is. So I was in Vegas recently
Speaker 1: and I went to the Big Cistine Chapel display. They
Speaker 1: have it one of the enormous casinos they have this this,
Speaker 1: so it's a traveling thing that's going around the world.
Speaker 1: Somebody put together this, I don't know what you called
Speaker 1: a show about the Sistine Chapel. It's all of these
Speaker 1: four giant, four K images of all the panels from
Speaker 1: Michelangelo's paintings on the Systeine Chapel. And having been to
Speaker 1: the Sistine Chapel, this is better than that in terms
Speaker 1: of enjoying the art. It's fantastic. It was little pricey
Speaker 1: to get in, but it was so cool, so big,
Speaker 1: so so clear, be able to look at it and
Speaker 1: the descriptions of what's going on really really really loved it.
Speaker 1: But so last night I was wanting the image, the
Speaker 1: most famous picture from that whole thing, which is actually
Speaker 1: if you're in the Sistine Chapel, it's seventy feet in
Speaker 1: the air and one panel and you're looking up at
Speaker 1: it and it's really really you really can't take it
Speaker 1: in that well, but it's you know, the God reaching
Speaker 1: out to adam that picture. So I wanted that picture
Speaker 1: on my phone. I was going to put it on
Speaker 1: my frame TV in my room and all the chapbots
Speaker 1: said we can't do that. We can't give you that picture.
Speaker 1: I said, I want a four K version of it,
Speaker 1: said to sorry, copyright issues, salent to Google, and I
Speaker 1: got eight million choices. What is that? Whole world? Why
Speaker 1: an't we going to work that out? That just seems
Speaker 1: so anachronistic to me. That the same thing with song lyrics.
Speaker 1: I wanted song lyrics for Bonnie Tyler when she died
Speaker 1: last week, turn Around Bright Eyes, because I did a
Speaker 1: dramatic reading of the song. But the chatbox would say, sorry,
Speaker 1: we can't give you that. Okay, I'll go to eight
Speaker 1: million other websites where I can get that information instantly.
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 3: They're in the crosshairs and they know it. They're in
Speaker 3: the crosshairs of all these companies that sing that are saying, hey,
Speaker 3: you're using a copyright material to build your your system
Speaker 3: here and you're not paying for any of it, all
Speaker 3: your big news publications and websites and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: So they've gone so far the other way just to
Speaker 3: protect themselves that it ends up being semi ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It is ridiculous. Huh. I wonder how long it'll be
Speaker 1: before that shakes out nothing to do. It's total eclipse
Speaker 1: of the heart. There are some lines in there. I
Speaker 1: didn't know. I've sung that song at the top of
Speaker 1: my lungs, but I had several lines wrong all my life.
Speaker 1: So Jim's Diamond wrote it. The guy behind meat Loaf. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said that very thing last week. Yeah, I do
Speaker 1: enjoy meat Loaf, Remember, Michael, I broke down crying after
Speaker 1: singing yeah, turn around bright eye. Wow. Oh, I was
Speaker 1: a puddle. I was a mess. It was an emotional mess. Wow. Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I missed that. If you like anything about
Speaker 1: the Sistine Chapel, I've ever wanted to see it that
Speaker 1: display in Vegas and you have to be in Vegas
Speaker 1: for business something like that. Oh my gosh, paid the
Speaker 1: money to check it out. M good tip. I did
Speaker 1: a deep dive on Michelangelo over the last week, having
Speaker 1: watched that on one of your art history podcasts. What
Speaker 1: a coop technical director or the artist? The artist? What
Speaker 1: a coop? Michelangelo was really Yeah, oh my gosh, rarely bathed.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't. He would wear it like he would wear
Speaker 1: his He would just leave his boots on for so
Speaker 1: long that when he took him off like his skin
Speaker 1: would peel off. I know he was a gook. I'm
Speaker 1: not much better.
Speaker 3: Love the art. Yeah, your feet are falling apart too.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love the art, not the artist.
Speaker 1: Huh uh. Socialism on the March, which is probably going
Speaker 1: to be an ongoing story for quite some time. You
Speaker 1: got Mom in New York, all the wackiness that he's doing.
Speaker 1: Oh and who is who are? Who be?
Speaker 3: The Democratic Socialists of America the DSA. If you are
Speaker 3: one of the rare and fairly patient Democrats who listened
Speaker 3: to this show regularly, thank you for being here. You've
Speaker 3: got to know what the DSA is and what they
Speaker 3: want wake up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that is troubling. I can't wait to talk
Speaker 1: about that because you've been gone for a long time.
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about the whole socialism thing and
Speaker 1: how real it is and what they mean by it.
Speaker 1: A lot of the people that say they're in favor
Speaker 1: of it and all that sort of stuff and all
Speaker 1: the things on the way. Stay here, hey, but.
Speaker 5: The last person to speak to Graham is our eighty
Speaker 5: year old president. The governor who chooses Graham's replacement is
Speaker 5: seventy nine, one of the candidates being considered as seventy eight,
Speaker 5: but he backed out because he's too important at his
Speaker 5: current job. And the House of Representatives all to save
Speaker 5: the Todd Blanche hearings, which are being co run by
Speaker 5: nine two year old Chuck Grassley and whipper snapper Dick
Speaker 5: Durbin eighty one, the entire in Congress is falling apart
Speaker 5: due to a lack of not just political will, but
Speaker 5: bone density.
Speaker 1: Wow. Oh, those are some pretty high ages. Wow Wow,
Speaker 1: that is amazing. The Chicago Teachers Union had a big
Speaker 1: rally over the weekend that included a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: pro Iran people, not just anti Israel people. Pro Iran,
Speaker 1: Join Iran and fighting the United States is part of
Speaker 1: the Chicago Teachers Union. Okay, we'll get to that later. Wow.
Speaker 1: So we get these two overthrow our country. We got
Speaker 1: these poopy diseases going around, problems going around the country.
Speaker 1: Is different things. There's some sort of stomach bug you
Speaker 1: can get from the water, and then there's some stuff
Speaker 1: on fruit. Right, but they're happening at the same time.
Speaker 1: They're all over the country, and so if you get
Speaker 1: an upset stomach, it might be one of those. Anyway,
Speaker 1: this is from NBC seven in San Diego. A San
Speaker 1: Diego infectious disease doctor said it's probably best to stay
Speaker 1: away from fresh produce for the next week or so,
Speaker 1: even if you wash it. Wow.
Speaker 3: Is he talking about just in San Diego or everywhere
Speaker 3: in America?
Speaker 1: It's California. A fecal parasite illness known as cyclospiaesis has
Speaker 1: now reached California. So yeah, don't eat any I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna eat a fruit or vegetable anyway, so it's pretty
Speaker 1: easy for me. But those of you who pay for
Speaker 1: your colon, those of you who do, don't for a week.
Speaker 1: I guess even if you wash it. Please, they found
Speaker 1: a whack a doctor.
Speaker 3: Please, I'm going to keep shoveling spinach down my throat
Speaker 3: like I'm Popeye.
Speaker 1: Look at me. It's me nothing but good. How much
Speaker 1: time I got I go to have time for this?
Speaker 1: Got a minute thirty? I got a physical today and
Speaker 1: I had to fill out the form ahead of time.
Speaker 1: Here's some of the questions within the past twelve months.
Speaker 1: Were you worried that your food wou run out before
Speaker 1: you got the money to buy more? I declined to
Speaker 1: answer at any time in the past twelve months, were
Speaker 1: you homeless or living in a shelter? I declined to answer.
Speaker 1: This is from my doctor for my physical in the
Speaker 1: past twelve months, as lack of transportation kept you from
Speaker 1: any appointments. Declined to answer. How hard is it for
Speaker 1: you to pay for very basics like food, housing, and
Speaker 1: medical care and heating. I decline to answer for my
Speaker 1: physical today, where they're going to take my blood pressure
Speaker 1: and see how tall I am.
Speaker 3: Progressive politicians saying, hey, have the doctors ask people to
Speaker 3: collect evidence that we need to spend even more time
Speaker 3: no kidding.
Speaker 1: Also this question within the last year, have you been kicked, hit, slapped,
Speaker 1: or otherwise physically hurt by your partner or ex partner?
Speaker 1: I decline to answer, Oh, hell yeah, free times to
Speaker 1: today doctor doing asking this, take my blood pressure, my height,
Speaker 1: see if I'm too fat or I need to change
Speaker 1: my lifestyle or whatever. God hate that so much those
Speaker 1: you answer those questions. I don't know what's going on there.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about socialism coming up next. It's ugly, man,
Speaker 1: really ugly. It always fails. Please please Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: I mean the Chicago Teachers' Union at their own building
Speaker 1: hosted a conference and where people were calling on supporting
Speaker 1: Iran's access of resistance and to prepare for violence against
Speaker 1: the United States and Israel in Chicago and the United States. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and what do teachers have to do with it? These
Speaker 1: are confusing times, man, Well, they're part of the Marxist
Speaker 1: movement to overthrow the government of the United States. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not paranoid. It is a fact. It's just undeniable.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: And the fact that all these teachers have been somehow
Speaker 3: duped into thinking, yeah, this country is so ugly and corrupt,
Speaker 3: and yeah, socialism is the way to go. Anybody who
Speaker 3: opposes America must be a good person, including brutal religious fundamentalists.
Speaker 1: It's hard to wrap your head around.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's hard to wrap your head around how
Speaker 3: they could wrap their head around that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I think it's a mental illness. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people. It is. For
Speaker 1: a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Though, as we've discussed many times, like the Red Green
Speaker 3: Alliance that really came together in the Iranian Revolution nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy nine, the Marxists thought that they would win the
Speaker 3: day and that the Islamists were just an ally of convenience,
Speaker 3: and the Islamists thought the same thing. Turns out the
Speaker 3: religious fervor was even more hot than the Marxist fervor,
Speaker 3: and the Islamists absolutely won the day. But I think,
Speaker 3: you know, the ideologue is actually running this stuff. They think, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll use these idiots and then we'll take power and
Speaker 3: it'll all be great.
Speaker 1: Well, have we talked about the Scott Wiener thing that
Speaker 1: happened while you were on vacation and we talked about
Speaker 1: I'm aware of it. Yeah, So that was the proof,
Speaker 1: as several people have written really recently, that the center
Speaker 1: of gravity for the wackat news and the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: has moved from the sexuality stuff that's over to the
Speaker 1: anti Israel stuff. And so sorry, Scott Winer, you were,
Speaker 1: you know, a gay guy who's pro trans and nobody
Speaker 1: cares about that anymore. It's where are you on Israel?
Speaker 1: And you took money from APEX? So sorry, you're an
Speaker 1: enemy that That's how quickly that has all changed. And
Speaker 1: look at the Chicago Teachers Union, whatever thing they had there,
Speaker 1: it wasn't about uh, boys and girls sports and trans bathrooms. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it was about up with Iran.
Speaker 3: Boy, and that's such a great example of how revolutionary
Speaker 3: politics works. You're in the end group until you're not,
Speaker 3: and then you're up against the wall and you're Rosky
Speaker 3: sitting on the toilet taking a nice pick.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Scott Winner, who was a hero to that crowd
Speaker 1: walking through the park to the Pride event, being screamed
Speaker 1: at by.
Speaker 3: People in his own crowd, right because now he step
Speaker 3: with a party line.
Speaker 1: Wow, unbelievable.
Speaker 3: So speaking of that sort of thing, there's a great
Speaker 3: piece by Scott Atlas, who's a doctor. He's a professor
Speaker 3: with the Hoover Institution. And I didn't know his parents
Speaker 3: were immigrants, and he was just talking about the United
Speaker 3: States and how attitudes have changed because his parents got here,
Speaker 3: learned language as quickly as they could. They never saw
Speaker 3: the deck as stacked against them. They worked like crazy,
Speaker 3: they became successful. He loves this country and he's talking
Speaker 3: about what he calls the selfie generation and how you know,
Speaker 3: you post it and look for validation. If you don't
Speaker 3: get it, the explanation is always the same. The system
Speaker 3: is rig the deck is stacked. Someone else has too much.
Speaker 3: The appeal to socialism to young Americans. Isn't really about economics.
Speaker 3: It's about having someone else to blame when you haven't
Speaker 3: succeeded after being given every advantage. It's easier to claim
Speaker 3: the system is unfair than to admit personal failure. And
Speaker 3: he says, what's tragic is that the narrative of societal
Speaker 3: unfairness is being sold as compact.
Speaker 1: It isn't. It's condescension packaged to solidarity.
Speaker 3: Tells young people they're victims, incapable of rising, dependent on redistribution,
Speaker 3: oh to life they haven't earned. It robs them of
Speaker 3: the one thing. My father's midnight taxi shifts gave me
Speaker 3: the knowledge that I could do it myself. Really really
Speaker 3: powerful piece, really good stuff. And then you've got this.
Speaker 3: It's funny how this didn't get picked up by the
Speaker 3: liberal media. The story in the All Street Journal about
Speaker 3: this cashier who makes thirty three dollars an hour at Costco.
Speaker 3: He's a cashier supervisor and now he's worth well over
Speaker 3: a million dollars. He and his family have a nice house.
Speaker 3: They've been to Europe a couple of times. He's smart,
Speaker 3: he's worked already. Happen to be a black man. Not
Speaker 3: that that it really matters. But and he's had a
Speaker 3: great American dream life. He's got great healthcare and the
Speaker 3: rest of it. He's respected.
Speaker 1: It's funny.
Speaker 3: And he works at Costco. Now you know he's in
Speaker 3: the upper levels. But yeah, the free market works. And
Speaker 3: you got this, And I'm just throwing a handful of
Speaker 3: things against the wall leading up to something big. New
Speaker 3: York Post is doing a story about this New York
Speaker 3: City Housing Authority supervisor.
Speaker 1: He's the plumbing supervisor.
Speaker 3: He made a little under five hundred thousand dollars, including
Speaker 3: nearly three hundred and thirty two thousand dollars in overtime,
Speaker 3: nearly twenty six hundred hours in overtime in a year
Speaker 3: while he was simultaneously running two private plumbing companies. It's
Speaker 3: the most Soviet story you could ask for.
Speaker 1: And Momdonnie wants to expand.
Speaker 3: The New York City Housing Authority to have even more power,
Speaker 3: have more money rolling through it. And the idea that
Speaker 3: it wouldn't end up in Soviet style corruption is just
Speaker 3: hilarious to anybody who knows how these systems work.
Speaker 1: Here's another story.
Speaker 3: New York sees dramatic exodus of millionaires causing nearly eleven
Speaker 3: billion dollars in lost tax revenue, according to a new
Speaker 3: study started before Mumdannie, but.
Speaker 1: It's continued apace.
Speaker 3: As they say, the exodus of high earners is absolutely shocking.
Speaker 3: In New York, the top one percent of earners pay
Speaker 3: about forty five percent of all income taxes.
Speaker 1: You know, I could get into the details to which
Speaker 1: I always have to throw in, if that's not their
Speaker 1: fair share, what would be If one percent paying almost
Speaker 1: half is not their fair share, what would be their
Speaker 1: fair share? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so the wealthy, the high earners are fleeing
Speaker 3: New York in New York City as fast as they can.
Speaker 1: And the New York I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: The Washington The Wall Street Journal picked up on this,
Speaker 3: the editorial board writing, one secret to Zorn Mumdannie's political success.
Speaker 3: When high earning couples depart the city, young socialists arrive
Speaker 3: and they get in a more statistics, Uh, there's been
Speaker 3: an exodus from the state one hundred and twelve almost
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirteen thousand vamosing in twenty twenty. That's
Speaker 3: one in every one hundred resident taxpayers, not residents taxpayers.
Speaker 3: Another ninety six thousand on net moved out between twenty
Speaker 3: one and twenty four. That's a lower number, but high
Speaker 3: earners and married people have continued to leave in the
Speaker 3: largest numbers. The data showed that almost fourteen thousand taxpayers
Speaker 3: left the state in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: That's the last numbers we have available.
Speaker 3: The greatest net loss of taxpayers was among married filers
Speaker 3: with incomes between one hundred thousand five hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 3: a net loss of eighty two hundred, or more than
Speaker 3: half of the total net out migration in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: The highest out migration rate was for households making five
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars, or more about one in one hundred,
Speaker 3: of whom moved out that year. And they're pointing out
Speaker 3: how that's going to be a catastrophic loss of tax revenue.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I wanted to get to this.
Speaker 3: Let's you have more on that, Jack, And I'm glad
Speaker 3: to hear that you're you're talking about this in my absence,
Speaker 3: because it is so troubling to see this utterly corrupt
Speaker 3: political philosophy masquerading his economics.
Speaker 1: One thousand over again, one thousand and six. Yes, I
Speaker 1: just looked up at the TV. I have now seen
Speaker 1: the guy flipped up on the air by the Buffalo
Speaker 1: one thousand and six times, right right, wow, wow, it
Speaker 1: appears to be the most important issue in the country.
Speaker 1: Old men being flipped in the air by bison. Wow wow.
Speaker 1: Marxism or a war with Iran Bisism on the march
Speaker 1: against our elderly fat population.
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, exactly what about Bisonism in this threat?
Speaker 1: So I thought this was absolutely terrific.
Speaker 3: This happened to be just before the election of Mom Donnie.
Speaker 3: This is a a person of the center left trying
Speaker 3: to wake up Democrats to what the Democratic Socialists of
Speaker 3: America is the DSA. And it's a great metaphor and
Speaker 3: a great description. Michael's let's hit it about which one
Speaker 3: eighty five through eighty eight is earlier discussed.
Speaker 1: You do you have a pennant jo anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 6: It's no secret that the Democratic Socialists of America hate
Speaker 6: the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: I think we're always saying maybe the lead of the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, Democratic parties not really our friends. It isn't
Speaker 1: so why.
Speaker 6: Are the DSA such major players in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 6: This odd relationship can be understood with the cuckoo analogy.
Speaker 6: In nature, the cuckoo survives by trickery. It lays its
Speaker 6: egg in another bird's nest. The unsuspecting parents raise the
Speaker 6: impostor as their own until the cuckoo grows strong enough
Speaker 6: to push the true chicks out. The DSA is the
Speaker 6: cuckoo inside the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: DSA is not the Democratic Party. We must separate ourselves
Speaker 1: from the toxic Democratic Party.
Speaker 2: We can prefer a clear, aggressive principal strategy that pushes
Speaker 2: back against the Democratic leadership and the Democratic Party as
Speaker 2: a whole.
Speaker 3: It's interesting that all of those voices were from official
Speaker 3: dssay proceedings and board meetings and that sort of thing, saying, look.
Speaker 1: We hate the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3: We have got to get rid of it from within,
Speaker 3: exactly as she was describing the cuckoo.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: David French in The New York Times writing the other
Speaker 1: day about how Democrats would be better off to recognize
Speaker 1: that that left wing that has risen and won all
Speaker 1: these primaries hate Democrats more than they hate Republicans. As
Speaker 1: soon as you figure that out, you'll be better off.
Speaker 1: Next chunk Michael.
Speaker 6: DSA candidates run as Democrats in safe blue districts they
Speaker 6: slip through low turnout primaries, and once inside, they use
Speaker 6: the Democratic label as camouflage while advancing an extremist anti
Speaker 6: American agenda far beyond the party's mainstream.
Speaker 7: I don't agree with the Democratic Party, but it's a
Speaker 7: great tool.
Speaker 1: The Democratic is a tool that we use.
Speaker 6: Once in office, DSA candidates take orders from DSA's internal
Speaker 6: enforcers and working groups. City halls and state houses start
Speaker 6: running as socialist machines, controlled by the organization, not the
Speaker 6: Democratic Party, and certainly not voters.
Speaker 7: They have to have a connection with ESA's internal politics,
Speaker 7: and they have to be committed to the eventual goal
Speaker 7: of building.
Speaker 1: A separate entity from the Democrats. Go ahead, roll on.
Speaker 6: DSA are revolutionaries and the Democrats are their first victims,
Speaker 6: and in city after city, DSA victories prove their plan works.
Speaker 1: I think that the model that we used in New
Speaker 1: York is one reputatable.
Speaker 6: And just like the Cuckoo, once the DSA grows strong,
Speaker 6: it pushes the true Democrats out, following the party from within,
Speaker 6: building groups.
Speaker 1: Political indepenment, and carrying apart the Democratic Party.
Speaker 6: The DSA is not here to strengthen the Democratic Party.
Speaker 6: It is here to consume it.
Speaker 7: We're not here to make the Democrats a little bit better.
Speaker 7: We're here to actually enact socialism. And socialism is not
Speaker 7: just better capitalism. It's overthrowing an entire the entire capitalisty.
Speaker 3: It's our duty, DSAY to cultivate this power. And I
Speaker 3: want to just point out one more time to drive
Speaker 3: it home. Every single voice that was describing the strategy
Speaker 3: of the DSA other than the narration was DSA leaders
Speaker 3: That wasn't critical people saying they need to drive out
Speaker 3: the Democratic leadership. No, that was them saying it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so we talked about this while you're gone
Speaker 1: a lot. Mark Halprin's writing how the leadership in the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party just doesn't realize what a threat this is
Speaker 1: and he can't believe they're blind to the fact that
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, who is a socialist, he says it out loud.
Speaker 1: It's not like a name people call him. That's what
Speaker 1: he calls himself. He would have been the nominee twice
Speaker 1: for president and the Nevergratting Party if they hadn't rigged
Speaker 1: the system against him. It's not just some like blip,
Speaker 1: one off weird thing that kind of occurs over in
Speaker 1: the corner. It might be, well, it probably is where
Speaker 1: all the energy is. Yeah, and they need to watch
Speaker 1: out for that or they're gonna get taken over.
Speaker 3: And the Chuck Schumers of the world believe we managed
Speaker 3: it before, we managed Bernie before, we'll manage it again.
Speaker 3: You're not going to manage it. It is going to
Speaker 3: absolutely overwhelm you. Quick word from our friends that Incognate
Speaker 3: every spam call, every scam text, every sketchy email with
Speaker 3: your name starts the same way. Somebody founds you on

Speaker 1: but in Cognate is using the law. There are actually
Speaker 1: several laws that Incognate can use to get that my
Speaker 1: name and info from hundreds of databases, and they don't stop.
Speaker 1: They keep sending follow up requests so your data stays removed,
Speaker 1: protecting you from spam, scams and real digital threats. They
Speaker 1: can't scam you if they can't find you. Yeah, call
Speaker 1: blockers are not the answer. The real fix is to disappear.

Speaker 1: Candace. I was looking at up at some stuff about
Speaker 1: the hearing around Charlie Kirk's killer Tyler Robertson. Candace Owens
Speaker 1: has no conscience, does she? No? No, she's evil. Wow,
Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine being a human being like that,
Speaker 1: where you think, you know, what would be a cool
Speaker 1: way to make money. I'll try to convince dumb people
Speaker 1: that his wife is working for the Jews and had
Speaker 1: him killed. Oh. I know, she's a mom with kids
Speaker 1: to raise and all. She this is a victim in
Speaker 1: this story. But I don't care.
Speaker 3: Somebody is going to do this. I might as well
Speaker 3: get rich doing it. You know, that's her attitude. More
Speaker 3: on that to come.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is wild. I need to tell you about
Speaker 1: death pants man. You might be wearing them right now,
Speaker 1: you probably aren't, especially if you're a guy. If you're
Speaker 1: a woman, you are you wearing the death pants. Stay tuned.
Speaker 8: The Beatles well to Elvis's house and the Los Angeles
Speaker 8: to visit with Elvis. And I remember John telling.
Speaker 1: Me, yeah, you know, she never meet your heroes.
Speaker 8: I would never meet Elvis, make if I you, And
Speaker 8: so I didn't. I took John's vice, which is really stupid,
Speaker 8: old me, really, but I love to meet Why take
Speaker 8: John's advice?
Speaker 1: So put me off?
Speaker 8: So I wanted to keep my Elvis to myself, my
Speaker 8: version of the always So I didn't want my version
Speaker 8: of Elvis chattered like John's was.
Speaker 1: But maybe my Elvis version would have been different. Mick Jagger,
Speaker 1: who's doing a lot of interviews right now. Man, if
Speaker 1: you want to know what Mick Jagger thinks, he's done
Speaker 1: about as far as I can tell, ten hours of
Speaker 1: talking in the last week. That was with Conan O'Brien,
Speaker 1: so you can hear everything you've ever wanted to hear
Speaker 1: about Mick Jagger thinks about anything.
Speaker 3: Including the fact that he doesn't believe he ought to
Speaker 3: be lecturing his audience about politics. Oh I didn't hear
Speaker 3: that New York Times tried to get him to talk
Speaker 3: about his relationship with the audience and brought up Bruce
Speaker 3: Springsteen and others. He's like, I'm trying to help them
Speaker 3: have the best time they can possibly have, not there
Speaker 3: to lecture them.
Speaker 1: My favorite thing I saw recently was somebody brought up
Speaker 1: the whole world's greatest band thing, and he.
Speaker 3: Said, oh please, that is so ridiculous. His greatest rock
Speaker 3: and roll band. It's a slogan. Also, it's not peer reviewed.
Speaker 3: He's talking about one of the interviews.
Speaker 1: He's talking about how much ego you've got to have
Speaker 1: or you have or get when you're young and you're
Speaker 1: big star, because you know you're standing in front of
Speaker 1: fifty thousand people who adore you, and you do that
Speaker 1: night after night, that that will have an effect on
Speaker 1: your view of the world. But luckily, when you get older,
Speaker 1: you come to realize it's just a it's a persona.
Speaker 1: It's like being on an actor a plague kind of,
Speaker 1: and it really has nothing to do with who you
Speaker 1: actually are. Right Well, your job is popular, yeah, and
Speaker 1: you're good at it, but that doesn't mean you're anything
Speaker 1: else any different than anybody else, Right I just saw this.
Speaker 1: Somebody got kicked out of the first leg of the
Speaker 1: Tour de France, which apparently is going on right now.
Speaker 1: It's a bicycle race for wearing aiglasses. But I haven't
Speaker 1: been able to figure out what the advantage would be.
Speaker 1: What would the advantage be of wearing airy eyeglasses? You
Speaker 1: suppose I'd have to think about it. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know that much about bike racing. We're concerned
Speaker 1: about the death pants that exist out there. It is.
Speaker 1: I've come across several things about the uniform of young
Speaker 1: women today, and it is more uniform than uniforms practically
Speaker 1: ever have been in my memory pictures. I see it
Speaker 1: in the college town I live in, and all the
Speaker 1: time you'll see a gaggle of women on a street corner,
Speaker 1: young college aged women. They're all dressed exactly the same.
Speaker 1: Their jeans are all the giant, wide leg jeans of
Speaker 1: exactly the same fade color, with a crop top, belly
Speaker 1: showing shirt and some show right tennis shoes. And they'll
Speaker 1: be twenty women that are all dressed exactly the same.
Speaker 1: I mean, it'd be like it'd be hard to make
Speaker 1: them dress that way, make them dress exactly the same.
Speaker 1: People would revolt against it, but voluntarily. They are all
Speaker 1: dressed exactly the same, looking like some sort of bare
Speaker 1: bellied military unit. But the pants keep getting whiter and
Speaker 1: whiter and whiter, and Zara has it's a company that
Speaker 1: makes pants, the flowing wide leg trousers. The pants have
Speaker 1: gotten so wide that people are tripping and falling on them.
Speaker 1: They're getting caught in their their shoes or their clogs
Speaker 1: or whatever. And they're calling them death pants, as there
Speaker 1: have been several injuries, people ending up with the hospital
Speaker 1: for tripping over their pants. So watch out for the
Speaker 1: death pants. I guess Darwin pants. Uh, we never got
Speaker 1: to this. Last week, CNN accidentally ran a hilarious tweet
Speaker 1: from somebody who said they had somebody claiming to be
Speaker 1: a congressman with a made up name, and CNN didn't
Speaker 1: even check to see if they're actually a congressman, where
Speaker 1: they said they were at the hospital talking to Mitch
Speaker 1: McConnell and actually Mitch McConnell beat him in a staring contest,
Speaker 1: so he's doing fine. What. I love that Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty
