WEBVTT - Gonna Get the D's 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:06.800 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:10.840 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong is Joe, Katty. 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:13.160 Arm Strong and Jetty enough He. 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:18.239 Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:25.880 And from Brooklyn, New York. 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:30.760 We have a diaspora that that can absorb a significant 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.760 number of these migrants, and that you know, when I 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:38.760 hear colleagues talk about, you know, the doors of the 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:43.040 n being closed, no room in the end, I'm saying, 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.680 you know, I need more people in my district, but 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:50.320 just for redistricting purposes, and those members could could clearly 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:51.440 fit here. 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:57.040 That's the quiet part out loud Congresswoman Vet Clark from 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.240 New York saying we need lots in lives, lots of 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.000 illegal immigrants here because then you know that helps with redistricting. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:11.440 Wow, that's the sort of claim that Tucker Carlson makes 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.840 and then gets attacked for, right, right, yeah, or we've 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.120 made what is that called there's a name for that 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.000 that they accused Tucker of all the time, the Tucker 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.319 crowd replacement theory or a. 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.520 Great replacement theory. Yeah, it's kind of it's on the 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:26.240 same page. 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.640 Yeah, yeah, So I'd like to call this a tale 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.399 of two mayors and a president. A tale of two 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:42.080 mayors and a president. New San Francisco tyonical poll released 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:48.160 just two days ago, found that seventy three percent of 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.560 San Francisco's approof of Mayor Daniel Lurry's first six months 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.360 in office. This is only twenty five percent disapprove. And 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.920 they are crack pop. This is incredible. I don't live 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.120 in San Francisco, but I wish they would have pulled me, 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.920 because I've been saying saying this for a while now 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.440 with my own anecdotal evidence, from my own eyeballs as 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.880 a guy who goes into downtown San Francisco on a 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:12.360 regular basis, it is night and day different from what 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.000 it was a year or two ago. 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.359 Night and day. Yeah, last time I was there with 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.960 my son, we had to walk to the Tenderloin to 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:24.040 find a homeless person. I wanted to show my son, 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.360 you know what the worst part of San Francisco was. 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.840 But just walking around the regular areas, no homeless people. Zero. 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.200 You couldn't say that fairly. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:36.000 Recently, I prefer the term transient drug addict or junkies. 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.320 But to each their own. Evan Simon a great piece 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.360 in the California Globe describes how Mayor London breed and 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.920 the city council communist what was his name, Aaron Peskin 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.280 who also ran, but how Laurie crushed them. Daniel Lourie 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.280 the new guy, and he goes into how they tried 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.519 to tack to the center, but people weren't having it 0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.240 because San franciscould become the poster child for dysfunction. One 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.760 of his first acts was to declare a fentanyl state 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:07.800 of emergency. Shortly thereafter, Lurie spearheaded a massive cut to 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.160 the San Francisco budget, helping solve the overspending problems that 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.560 plagued the Braden administration while not cutting the SFPD or 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.960 public safety funding. In the past few weeks, Lori has 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.799 kept up the trend of undoing the progressive policies by 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.519 cracking down on junkie camps, by severely limiting RV parking times, 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.560 a bunch of other stuff, and again seventy three percent 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.760 approval rating in his first six months. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:35.960 I'd like for him some of the stuff that's happened. 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.000 I haven't seen any reporting on, like how did the 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.040 sidewalks and streets get so clean? They did they use 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.160 fire hoses on everything overnight at some point. I mean, 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:49.440 it's just it's just like sparkling clean compared to what 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.360 it was a year ago. It's stunning. I've never seen 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.600 anything change as much as San Francisco changed in the 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.480 amount of time that I've been going there. 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.640 You know, it's as simple, as simple as and the 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.760 fact that people don't get this frightens me. It's as 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.240 simple as if your town is crappy, it's because it's 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:16.279 being run crappily. It's because of bad policy and bad politics. 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.400 They can blame whatever they want, budgets or the white 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:25.440 man or whatever. It's not that it's policy. So that's 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.920 Daniel Lurie in San Francisco. Then you got poor old 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:34.040 Jacob Frye in Minneapolis, the left wing activist Minnesota mayor 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:40.680 Minneapolis mayor. You may remember him weeping openly in the 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.160 wake at George Floyd's death. It was called performative here 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:48.200 in the Washington Examiner, he wailed about one hundred years 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:53.760 worth of intentional segregation institutionalized racism. He downplayed Black Lives 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.400 Matter riots by claiming the rioters were from out of 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.920 state and probably conservative plants. 0:04:58.960 --> 0:04:59.960 Blah, blah blah. 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.600 Well, when it came time for him to get re elected, 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:07.800 the Minnesota Democratic Farm Labor Party abandoned him and instead 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.640 endorsed his top opponent, State Senator Omar Fatah, a destructive 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:18.240 left wing dielogue, a socialist, a Jew hater, an is lomist, 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:23.599 anti police activist. They just dumped Jacob Fry. Jacob, you 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.760 bent over backwards. You prostituted yourself to these people, and 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.800 they dumped you because of the color of your skin. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.719 You are a white fella. You will not do anymore. 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.640 Good luck of Minneapolis. I told you two mayors and 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:42.400 a president. Here's the president. The fabulous Neil Ferguson wrote 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.800 a great piece for the Free Press about Harvier Malay 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.520 Milai and what he's accomplished in Argentina. 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.080 Yeah, some of these stats are incredible. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.719 Oh, I was rooting for him so hard when he 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.640 got elected a year and a half ago. When he 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.960 was sworn in in the end of twenty three, Argentina 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.360 economy was an incurable basket case gross domestic product who's 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.640 shrinking by one and a half percent or more a year. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.320 According to the IMF, per capita gross domestic product on 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.760 an inflation adjusted basis was lower in twenty twenty three 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.600 than it had been in twenty oh seven. Public finances 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:21.880 in disarray. IMF estimated total public debt around ninety percent 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.200 of GDP forty billion, of it was owed to the IMF, 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:30.160 a culmination of no fewer than twenty two programs. They 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.240 mentioned the previous socialist government's reckless physical and monetary policies 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.680 that created annualized inflation. Get this, you remember when it 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.400 was like nine percent and people are screeching, they're annualized 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.160 inflation exceeded two hundred percent. 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.000 I don't even know how you function in societies like that, 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:52.120 So that ten dollars steak is now thirty dollars two 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.280 days later or one year later. Rather, I hope, I 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.039 hope I ever lived through anything like that. I've always 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.760 been amazed when you hear those stories, just like you 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.919 just give up, like immediately, like I'm I'm I'm broke, 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.520 I'm completely broke. Everything I've worked for my whole life 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:07.040 is gone. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.760 And then for meal wheel barrow full of cash to 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.880 buy a loaf of bread, right, you know, in the 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.480 last days of the Confederacy or whatever. The so it 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:22.080 was annualized inflation exceeding two hundred percent. Indeed, the wholesale 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:26.000 price inflation in December of twenty three, when Mela took 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.680 over was fifty four percent. 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.320 Months over month. 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:35.480 Oh my god, technically hyperinflation according to the widely accepted definition. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.120 Uh, let's see. Well, if that's not, I don't know 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:38.800 what you gotta be. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.320 Uh to give you some idea that in twenty twenty three, 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:46.360 the price of a latte roughly tripled from fifteen hundred 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:47.600 pass to forty five hundred. 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:48.400 If you're a. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.280 Lat if you're still drinking lattes when inflation is five 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.600 hundred percent or whatever, Wow, you're optimistic. I'd got to 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.680 go ahead and like just to make coffee at home. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.480 Maybe, And restaurants and coffee shops had to print their 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.120 price their menus on paper because they were adjusting their 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:03.920 prices twice a month. 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.560 Okay, that's what he inherited. 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.600 After less than twenty months, Milai has eliminated the fiscal deficit, 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.920 cutting it from five percent of GDP to zero. He's 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:19.080 reduced the number of government ministries from eighteen to eight. Chainsaw, 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.640 Remember he gifted the Elon Musk with the chainsaw uh, 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.960 he said, Ministry of Tourism in sports out, Ministry of 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:33.200 Culture out, Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development out, Ministry 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:37.480 of Women, Gender and Diversity out, over and over again. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.080 With the Executive Order seven he issued a few days 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.000 after he was inaugurate, and he deregulated key markets including 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:50.600 property rentals, commercial airlines. Oh, property rentals, mamdami. He deregulated them, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.360 deregulated commercial airlines, and rode freight transport labor. Market reforms 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.480 took longer, but were enacted after a fight with Congress. 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.800 You know, I could get into more statistics and all. 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:04.240 He overhauled the imports system, removed quota's licenses, NOLL certifications, 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.480 and how did you still long term program with tax 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:07.480 and regulatory reform? 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.600 How did he do it? Indian casinos? Uh No. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.400 But the result of the shock therapy has been a 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.520 stunning recovery. He's brought monthly inflation down from thirteen percent 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.680 to two percent. The economy is not shrinking anymore, it's 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.480 growing at seven percent a year. Investors are buying up 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.040 Argentine stocks and bonds, which they had not for a 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.480 very long time after a brief upward jump. Because there's 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.920 going to be pain when you administer shock to his system. 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.880 The poverty rate has fallen from forty two percent to 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.560 thirty one percent. There's a great deal to be done, 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:45.080 but it is a stunning success. As of course it is. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.679 The free market works so much better. In fact, that's 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.480 a too faint a way to put it. The free 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:56.319 market is worlds better, world's better than government control. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.880 Just because you mentioned the Free Press that you're reading 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.320 from Barry Weiss who started the Free Press. She was 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.480 a journalist at the New York Times. She's a lefty, 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.199 but not as crazy as the other lefties there. They 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.840 were also woke. They hated her partially because she supported Israel. Anyway, 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.679 she left the New York Times started her own thing, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.640 the Free Press. She's trying to go public with that, 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.199 and its evaluation is going to be somewhere between two 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.880 hundred million and two hundred and fifty million dollars. Great, 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.480 she started it two years ago. I wish I had 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:32.080 a shred of that. Good for her, Yeah, she's terrific. 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.320 I love the Free Press. I'm a big fan. Well, yeah, 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.679 I see it as you know, one of the good 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.200 guys winning, which is always nice, but just that there's 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.640 a hunger out there for reasonable journalism obviously. 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.880 Yeah, and you know she and most of the staff there, well, 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.520 they have all sorts of I mean, they have Neil 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:54.760 Ferguson who is unapologetically conservative, but they're liberals, not progressives. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:01.200 Yeah. Between her and Mark Hauprin's amazing growing success and 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.240 everywhere that he is and all the things he's got going, 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.480 it gives me some hope that there are enough people 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.520 out there that want even if it's not their cup 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.040 of tea politically, they believe you're trying to be honest 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:14.559 about it. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.960 Right, That's that's what I want. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.079 I don't care if you're you know, way to left 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.400 me on your politics, as long as I believe what 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.760 you're telling me is true, and then we can come 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:29.439 to different conclusions. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:30.400 Right you're not. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.440 Yeah, yeah, I hate being pandered to. It's insulting to 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:37.079 my intelligence. A lot of people like it. It feels 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.920 ooogy to me, but you know, to each of their own. Eh, 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.199 you sink or swim in this business, and so far 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.400 we're swimming. We appreciate you being here. If you like 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.080 the show, tell a friend. If you don't mind your own. 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:51.040 Business, we're the ten wealthy of suburbs in America, among 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:52.679 other things we could talk about just for fun. 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.120 I don't know. We got to come up with some. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.920 I used to live next door to one of them. Really, Yeah, 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:04.040 because you're one of the incredibly wealthy from birth Silverspoon. No, no, no, 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.400 it's the patchwork of Chicago suburbs. You had very affluent, 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.360 then kind of nice, and then very working class. 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:15.760 Cheek bajow armstrong.

You go before the court and 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.600 you explain, yes, his crime was terrible and here's why. 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.880 So he can because he has attorneys saying, look, he 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:36.800 was a troubled kid. 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.240 He got kicked around or whatever. 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.480 He should get a very light sentence, and the family 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:41.720 is there to say, whoa, whoa, whoa. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.920 No, So you're you're you could affect how long the 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:50.240 sentence is.

Right, that's a horrible deal. 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.320 I did see what I don't remember what news shows 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:21.440 was they were interviewing some former life sentenced prison dude 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.640 talking about how they treat guys like him in prison. 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.240 So she's accurate. He is not going to have a 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.040 good time in prison unless there's a tremendous effort made 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:31.920 to separate him from the regular population. 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:34.920 Right, yeah, do we want to hit the audio and 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:36.800 we'll do the Venus Williams things next? 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.840 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do this quick message from 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:40.640 our youngest daughter. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:46.800 Avery wanted to say, he may have received a's in 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.400 high school and college, but you're going to be. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:55.120 Getting big D's in prison. Thank you. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:00.600 He's actually after laughter and then applause. I know, Oh 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.920 I laughed too when I heard it first. But good lord, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:08.800 that's some dry, dark humor. She means peniss, Yes, she does. 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:10.360 He's going to be raped in prison. 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:10.760 Goodness. 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.000 You know that's not the way the system is supposed 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.000 to work. As a libertarian ish person, we have a 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.320 system for figuring out to punish it. It is, and 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:23.640 it doesn't include extracurricular punishment by the. 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:27.000 Big Venus toughest guys who then get their sexual jollys 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:27.840 while they're in prison. 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:29.880 No, it's not our system, but I get it. 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:31.960 But I don't mind that it's going to happen. How 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:38.120 about that? I don't mind that that will happen to him? 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:38.800 Horrifying. 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:43.760 That is Venus Williams, the tennis player. Do you remember her? 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.120 She's forty five years old. She won a tennis match 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:52.600 last night, in actual WTA tennis event, the oldest player 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:56.680 to ever win an actual sanctioned by the group that 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.080 sanctions all these tennis tournaments match. We'll hear from her, 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.400 and we'll revisit her father. Longtime listeners of The Armstrong 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.080 and Getty Show Remember this is one of our favorite 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.560 clips of all time. If we were going to do 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.760 a clip of the you know, Armstrong and Getty universe, 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.680 it would make the top ten. I mean it's pretty 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.200 good that and other stuff on the way. Stay tuned. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:18.200 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.200 I had to come back for the insurance because they 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.320 informed me earlier this year. 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:24.040 I'm on Cobra. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:26.760 That's pretty funny. 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.080 Sounds like I got to get my benefits on him 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:30.640 started training. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:35.120 She's actually not lying about that because we talked about 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:36.320 that about six years ago. 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.080 So you're actually telling the truth. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.960 You know, Inra insurance is has insurance. You guys know 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:42.480 what it's like. 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:43.360 And let me. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.120 Tell you, I'm always at the doctor, so I need 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:46.960 this insurance. 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.440 Wow, that's why Venus Williams came back to tennis. I 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.760 have a feeling she made enough money she can cover 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:58.600 her medical bills. But so Venus Williams became the oldest 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:03.280 tennis player to ever win a WTA actual tennis event 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.280 at age forty five, I feel like not have enough 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.679 attention being given to the poor girl. A loss to 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.880 her which couldn't have been her greatest day. Twenty three 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:18.960 year old ranked thirty fifth in the world, so no slouch. Yeah, 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.680 lost in straight sets to forty five year old Venus Williams, 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.359 which is pretty impressive. That forty mark. There's some athletes 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:29.119 that can compete against the good twenty one year olds when. 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.760 They're forty, but not much further than that. I mean, 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:36.600 those are rare stories. Sure, that's what good she is obviously, Yeah, 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:40.560 forty five is getting up there. Any who, Venus Williams 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.000 who won her She won her first match, her big 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.840 tournament when she was what like sixteen, So we're looking 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:50.560 at like, dang near thirty years ago when she came 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.120 out of Compton and took Wimbledon and US opening all 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.439 these different tournaments by storm as a child, and then 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.720 later her sister who actually turned out to even be better. 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.280 But anyway, when do you want our first tournament? And 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.720 everybody was excited about this girl. Here was her dad 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.240 in his first go around with fame, being asked about 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.520 how people back in the neighborhood are reacting to. 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:13.200 Local girl. Done good. 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.119 Oh, they're all are jumping. They get jumping, and they 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.720 probably going to go out and smoke a lot weed, 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.159 you know, get some beer, and they even joy the 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:23.760 rest of the night. 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:24.879 There you go. 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.960 That's a pretty earthy take, and I think everybody liked that, 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:33.119 because a lot of your tennis professionals come from the 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.359 sorts of neighborhoods where I see them actually in my 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:37.160 neighborhood when I go lift weights to the country club. 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.360 These boys and girls, lots of girls out there who 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.840 are like twelve years old, with a private tennis coach 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.720 tossing balls to them for a couple hours every single day. 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.040 It's a lot different than the way Venus and Serena 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:50.840 came to it. 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.320 I expect the folks back in the Hamptons, we'll be 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:59.359 enjoying some champagne, some caviat and we'll rejoy the rest 0:19:59.440 --> 0:19:59.920 of the eve. 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:02.240 We're going to we. 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.080 Weed, probably some beer, and enjoy the rest of the 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.440 evening jumping. 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.359 They get jumping, and you're going to go out and 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.040 smoke a lot weed, you know, get some beer, and 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:14.680 they even enjoyed the rest of the night. 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:16.720 Yep, why wouldn't you so? 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:21.400 Another wrinkle in the story that has grabbed so much 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.560 of America, the CEO and the chick getting caught at 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.639 the Cold Blade concert, and how that whole thing has 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:30.520 played out from the overthinking it department. I've got something 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:32.720 that was actually in the sub stack today I'll get 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:39.439 to But so, uh, his wife has disappeared to one 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.040 of their other homes. They live in a ten million 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.399 dollar home, but she's disappeared to their excuse me cabin 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.399 that is only worth two million dollars up in Maine, 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.199 and trying to hide out because all the media is 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:51.840 trying to get to her, which has got to suck. 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:53.800 Which is kind of a little bit of the point 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:55.680 of this article. I just came across by some woman. 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:57.879 It doesn't matter who she is. Why are we so 0:20:57.960 --> 0:20:58.760 into this? 0:20:58.440 --> 0:20:59.480 This woman writes. 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:04.280 It's classic schadenfreud, pleasure in another person's misfortune. But in 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.960 the Internet age, it's also more than that. We've collectively 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.960 decided that Andy Byron, a white man with lots of 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.160 money who had the audacity to cheat on his wife 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.600 in a stadium full of people, is a bad person. 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.680 It's astoundingly simple. Because he is a bad person. There's 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:21.480 no limit to what we expect him to withstand. The 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.320 memes and the commentary and the AI generated comments is 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:28.359 photo plastered on front page news sites around the world. 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.399 The further we dig, the worse the man becomes. He 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.760 wasn't only cheating, he was cheating with the head of HR, 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:37.280 which turned out to be a lie. I guess, she says, sir, 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:38.040 I don't know. 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:41.000 Uh. 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.960 She had received a promotion very recently and was in 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.840 a relationship, which is not true anyway, whatever, it doesn't matter. 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:50.160 Was he abusing his power to hide his affair. He's 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:51.600 the kind of man who cheats on his wife, so 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:54.480
