WEBVTT - A Tooth Contraption 0:00:08.850 --> 0:00:12.710 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:14.740 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.000 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:17.020 --> 0:00:29.590 Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. Live 0:00:29.850 --> 0:00:33.290 from Studio C, a dimly lit room deep within the 0:00:33.390 --> 0:00:37.730 bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound. And now 0:00:37.750 --> 0:00:40.519 that it is fall, I've walked in wearing Uggs with 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:44.100 a pumpkin spice latte in my hands because that's my 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:50.800 fall look. One of our favorite members of Twitter, her 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.280 name is, her handle is I'm Just Diane. She's hilarious. 0:00:55.060 --> 0:00:58.950 We've been following her for years. Anyway, she tweeted out 0:00:58.980 --> 0:01:03.390 the other day how she saw a college chick in 0:01:04.230 --> 0:01:08.119 Uggs shorts and a tank top with a Hot pumpkin 0:01:08.140 --> 0:01:12.559 spice latte. And it was 100 degrees outside. And she 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.730 admired how this woman was committed to the bit. Committed 0:01:15.810 --> 0:01:18.149 to the fall bit. I'm wearing Uggs. I'm going to 0:01:18.170 --> 0:01:21.270 drink hot coffee. I don't care if it's 100 degrees. 0:01:21.930 --> 0:01:23.910 And the rest of my clothing indicates summer. But it 0:01:23.970 --> 0:01:25.800 is fall now. And that is why I'm in Uggs. 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.810 Welcome to the show. Joe is on a golf trip. 0:01:28.850 --> 0:01:30.289 He'll be calling in a bit later. We have some 0:01:30.330 --> 0:01:32.230 good guests lined up and lots of news to get to. 0:01:32.569 --> 0:01:37.010 And President Trump is going to address the UN General 0:01:37.050 --> 0:01:41.660 Assembly in just a little bit. Generally, he gives pretty long, 0:01:41.750 --> 0:01:44.500 pretty powerful speeches at these events about a lot of 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.360 different topics. I was just reading the New York Times 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:53.660 rundown of yesterday at the UN General Assembly, and they 0:01:53.780 --> 0:01:59.100 said that... AI was the talk of the whole event 0:01:59.620 --> 0:02:02.940 at fever pitch with all the heavyweights there. So there 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.020 you go. With a couple of wars going on, the 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.450 hot topic was AI. And I assume Trump's going to 0:02:08.510 --> 0:02:11.609 say something about that today. And everybody's assuming that he 0:02:11.650 --> 0:02:14.090 and she are going to talk about it on Thursday 0:02:14.110 --> 0:02:16.050 and Friday when President Xi is at the White House. 0:02:17.450 --> 0:02:19.230 This one guy in the New York Times, though, brought up, 0:02:19.410 --> 0:02:23.520 I don't have, my son has an Alexa device. up 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.030 in his room that he uses for music mostly, but 0:02:26.070 --> 0:02:28.330 I haven't used Alexa in many, many years. Anybody here 0:02:28.370 --> 0:02:34.030 got Alexa, Michael? Yeah. I use it occasionally. I don't 0:02:34.090 --> 0:02:37.660 know if Alexa updates the software like other things do, 0:02:37.820 --> 0:02:40.200 or is an older Alexa not up to date? I don't, 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.200 I don't know this about Alexa. Anyway, this particular writer 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.710 said in my house, a debate rages over whether the 0:02:47.820 --> 0:02:50.470 new Alexa is learning from us on the sly or 0:02:51.540 --> 0:02:55.040 in that Alexa seems to know things about them that 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.440 it shouldn't know, but it would know them if it's 0:02:57.540 --> 0:03:01.639 listening to their conversations and taking in that information about 0:03:02.020 --> 0:03:06.000 music choices or just topics. And everybody has that question, right? 0:03:07.340 --> 0:03:09.150 What was the thing that happened to my family gathering 0:03:09.190 --> 0:03:11.690 a couple of weeks ago? Oh, we were having a 0:03:11.750 --> 0:03:14.070 conversation about stuff that grows hair on bald men's heads. 0:03:14.870 --> 0:03:17.950 And several members of my family all of a sudden 0:03:17.970 --> 0:03:21.880 were getting ads for hair regrow stuff. And nobody had 0:03:22.020 --> 0:03:23.780 Googled it or anything like that or searched it. We 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.220 were just having a conversation at the table. And then, 0:03:26.580 --> 0:03:29.010 so is your device listening to you? I know lots 0:03:29.050 --> 0:03:31.190 of people think it is. I don't know. All the 0:03:31.230 --> 0:03:34.669 companies claim that they're not. Maybe that's something that they 0:03:34.690 --> 0:03:37.089 should bring up at the UN. Why are our devices 0:03:37.190 --> 0:03:41.350 listening to us? Didn't they determine that smart TVs are 0:03:41.410 --> 0:03:43.530 listening to us? Didn't we have that story a while back? 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.480 I could, you know, I can swear that they are 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.960 just based off of, because I have a smart TV 0:03:48.980 --> 0:03:51.790 in the living room and You know how when you stream, 0:03:51.830 --> 0:03:53.250 you get more targeted ads? 0:03:53.510 --> 0:03:53.710 Sure. 0:03:53.850 --> 0:03:58.050 You know, the amount after I had our son Van, 0:03:58.090 --> 0:04:01.970 the amount of, are you suffering from postpartum depression? 0:04:02.670 --> 0:04:04.940 Ads that popped up. On your television. 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.540 On my television at all times. I don't know. I 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.960 just feel like anytime we talk about stuff in that 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.760 particular room of the house, I start getting the ads 0:04:13.860 --> 0:04:15.580 on the various apps and whatnot. 0:04:15.700 --> 0:04:15.880 Mm-hmm. 0:04:16.380 --> 0:04:19.020 More so than I do throughout the rest of my day. 0:04:19.300 --> 0:04:21.980 I've always been very skeptical when the companies say they're 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.380 not listening or watching because I think if they can, 0:04:24.420 --> 0:04:26.580 they will, and there's money to be made. But there 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.350 is that thing where I remember noticing this many, many 0:04:30.390 --> 0:04:33.430 years ago. If you're thinking of buying a certain kind 0:04:33.470 --> 0:04:35.669 of car, it seems like you see it all over 0:04:35.710 --> 0:04:36.050 the place. 0:04:36.610 --> 0:04:36.790 Yeah. 0:04:37.170 --> 0:04:39.810 And you don't normally notice it. So there's some sort 0:04:39.850 --> 0:04:43.000 of thing that happens around that. If something's on your mind, 0:04:43.060 --> 0:04:45.300 you notice it when maybe you just don't notice it 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:49.760 at all. But both can be true. That phenomenon exists, documented, 0:04:50.339 --> 0:04:53.200 and these devices are listening to us. But if the 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.000 new Alexa is like really listening to all your conversations, 0:04:56.110 --> 0:04:58.510 I don't dig that at all. I'll have to look 0:04:58.550 --> 0:05:01.770 into that and ask my son if he notices that 0:05:01.810 --> 0:05:06.260 at all. And also the New York Times, again, saying 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.589 that AI is a conversation, is a fever pitch at 0:05:09.610 --> 0:05:12.270 the UN and all over New York City, just like 0:05:12.310 --> 0:05:16.430 it is everywhere, I guess. They have a piece today 0:05:16.470 --> 0:05:18.510 about whether or not AI is sentient that I want 0:05:18.529 --> 0:05:21.270 to get into a little bit later. The other stuff, 0:05:21.300 --> 0:05:24.900 of course, is the wars that we're involved with and 0:05:25.020 --> 0:05:27.909 China's role in the wars and also the. 0:05:29.610 --> 0:05:31.310 There's a belief that Trump's going to get into the 0:05:31.370 --> 0:05:34.890 electric car conversation, which brings us to the opening clip 0:05:34.910 --> 0:05:36.130 of the show. So I want to get that on 0:05:36.170 --> 0:05:39.909 and then we can further that conversation about Chinese electric cars, 0:05:39.990 --> 0:05:42.440 which could be a game changer. So I'm Jack Armstrong. 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.400 He's Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday. It's September 22nd, 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.580 the year 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty and we approve 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.140 of this program. It is important, according to the FCC, 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.580 that we begin the show at... Got to wait two 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:54.060 more seconds. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:55.000 Mark. 0:05:55.300 --> 0:05:58.600 In this Chinese factory, incredibly efficient. They turn on a 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.620 new car every 78 seconds, but not a lot of people. 0:06:02.250 --> 0:06:05.150 All automated. And every 78 seconds they turn on a 0:06:05.190 --> 0:06:08.229 new car, but there's just a few guys holding clipboards. 0:06:10.810 --> 0:06:15.540 I thought that was a stunning report about the Chinese 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.380 electric car industry. That's Steve Harrigan of Fox. He was 0:06:19.420 --> 0:06:22.600 over in China checking out one of their factories. They 0:06:22.700 --> 0:06:26.160 crank out a car every 78 seconds, and there ain't 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.120 nobody in the car factory. Now, when we were, I 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.870 don't know how long it took us to build a 0:06:32.610 --> 0:06:36.930 Chevy whatever in 1974. when we were really cranking out 0:06:36.970 --> 0:06:39.390 cars and we were the global leader, but it wasn't 0:06:39.410 --> 0:06:42.620 that fast. And there were, as we all know, many, 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:47.060 many tens of thousands of auto workers with all the 0:06:47.100 --> 0:06:50.260 major car companies. And it was one of the most 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.640 important unions in America and controlled so much power and 0:06:53.660 --> 0:06:55.370 the UAW and all that sort of stuff. And they 0:06:55.380 --> 0:06:58.630 still control a lot of power. China is cranking out 0:06:58.690 --> 0:07:02.210 cars one every just barely more than a minute with 0:07:02.430 --> 0:07:07.970 no human beings in the factory. Holy crap. What does 0:07:08.010 --> 0:07:11.530 that do to what used to be a cup of 0:07:11.630 --> 0:07:18.520 coffee ago, an incredibly labor-intensive, job-heavy industry? If that's just 0:07:18.540 --> 0:07:21.420 going to go away and there's no longer employees involved 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.860 with that at all, that would be devastating. It'd certainly 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.650 be devastating to Detroit. or Dearborn, or any of those 0:07:28.050 --> 0:07:30.350 towns where they're building cars. And I know they've gotten 0:07:30.390 --> 0:07:33.010 more automated over the years from the old days, but 0:07:33.490 --> 0:07:35.860 nobody in the entire factory to crank out a car 0:07:35.890 --> 0:07:40.700 every 78 seconds? I thought that was unbelievable. So we've 0:07:40.740 --> 0:07:42.600 talked about this a lot. There are reviews of these 0:07:42.660 --> 0:07:45.840 Chinese electric cars that say they're really great and they're 0:07:45.860 --> 0:07:49.620 incredibly cheap. And we're not letting them currently into the 0:07:49.660 --> 0:07:53.100 United States because it would really undercut Well, all of 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.690 our electric car makers, all of our electric car makers, 0:07:55.710 --> 0:07:58.550 do we have more than Tesla? Where's Rivian made? I 0:07:58.570 --> 0:08:01.370 don't know where any of these cars are made. But 0:08:01.410 --> 0:08:05.010 if we get high quality electric cars at a really 0:08:05.230 --> 0:08:07.580 cheap price in the United States, it's going to really 0:08:07.660 --> 0:08:10.460 upend our market. And so that's not why we're allowing 0:08:10.500 --> 0:08:13.960 them in. There's some talk that Trump's going to announce 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:15.900 with President Xi that we allow them in, but they 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.340 have to be made here. Will they be made here 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.290 in the United States factory with hundreds or thousands of 0:08:22.350 --> 0:08:27.250 workers when China could make them one every 78 seconds 0:08:27.330 --> 0:08:30.210 without any employees? Would they still be as cheap? I 0:08:30.470 --> 0:08:32.610 don't think the math works on that, that they could 0:08:32.650 --> 0:08:34.320 continue to be as cheap if you didn't have any 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:38.330 employees working on them. I don't know if we have 0:08:38.370 --> 0:08:40.610 an appetite for electric cars. I don't care if they 0:08:40.710 --> 0:08:42.670 are cheap and good. I'm not sure people are going 0:08:42.690 --> 0:08:45.850 to buy them. I guess we'll find out. But there's 0:08:45.870 --> 0:08:48.550 been no indication over the last however many years that 0:08:48.850 --> 0:08:51.150 very many people want an electric car at all. But 0:08:51.170 --> 0:08:53.210 I look forward to seeing what the conversation they have 0:08:53.230 --> 0:08:55.430 around that or maybe what Trump even says about it today, 0:08:55.490 --> 0:08:58.800 tipping his maybe tipping his hand somewhat on how he 0:08:58.840 --> 0:08:59.819 feels about that whole thing. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:01.070 Um. 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.680 Another story that I look forward to following up on 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.040 that continues to get a lot of attention is that 0:09:07.500 --> 0:09:11.339 woman that wrote the 1619 Project that started that whole 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.380 conversation and got the books into your kids' schools so 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.790 that your kids can learn that we're an evil country 0:09:16.830 --> 0:09:22.709 that really is founded on racism. Anyway, that fraud, if 0:09:22.730 --> 0:09:25.199 you've been following the story, she sent her kid to 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.960 a really crappy school. to try to make some sort 0:09:28.980 --> 0:09:31.210 of point about crappy schools. Anyway, now her kid's really 0:09:31.230 --> 0:09:33.850 mad at her. Well, there's more information out on that 0:09:33.910 --> 0:09:36.990 story that's really interesting about the school, about its funding, 0:09:37.030 --> 0:09:41.479 about how bad it is, about all angles of it. 0:09:41.500 --> 0:09:44.110 So I look forward to talking about that, too. Again, 0:09:44.309 --> 0:09:47.860 Trump speaking at the U.N. today. We will have highlights 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.980 of that on all the topics. Obviously, he's going to 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.660 have to touch on the war with Iran and how 0:09:52.740 --> 0:09:55.040 heavy is he going to come down on Ukraine and 0:09:55.070 --> 0:09:57.270 the Ukraine-Russia war, all that stuff. So we got a 0:09:57.309 --> 0:09:58.850 lot on the way. I hope you can stay here. 0:09:58.950 --> 0:10:06.930 Don't touch that dial. as they say. Anybody here have 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.420 braces as a kid? Yep. Oh, you did? 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:09.920 Mm-hmm. 0:10:10.580 --> 0:10:11.780 Let me see you smile, Mike. I don't know if 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.700 I've ever seen you smile. Oh, you get straight here. 0:10:14.730 --> 0:10:17.360 And you did too, Katie. I had naturally straight teeth. 0:10:17.410 --> 0:10:21.300 My dentist, who called me John for some reason, and 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:29.330 always weirded me out as a kid. Why? He'd say, hey, John, always. Weird. 0:10:29.410 --> 0:10:29.650 Okay. 0:10:29.950 --> 0:10:32.410 And my name is Jack, and it was on the paperwork, 0:10:32.450 --> 0:10:33.710 and my mom referred to me as Jack, but he 0:10:33.730 --> 0:10:36.070 just called me John. Anyway, he said, John, I'd give 0:10:36.110 --> 0:10:38.250 a million dollars for your teeth. Anybody would, because my 0:10:38.290 --> 0:10:39.890 teeth were so straight and perfect. And I've never had 0:10:39.910 --> 0:10:44.260 a cavity in my life either. But my youngest son, 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.940 his teeth were. I mean, he had summer teeth. Summer 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:48.980 point in that way, summer point. He did. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:49.080 Okay. 0:10:49.940 --> 0:10:51.820 Uh, now they're perfect. They're nice and straight. He's got 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.220 braces on, but he entered the band period where you 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.540 have the rubber bands on them. He hadn't gotten into 0:10:56.580 --> 0:10:59.130 that yet. And he's, he's not digging that part. Yeah. 0:10:59.190 --> 0:11:01.410 That was not, I remember not being a fan of 0:11:01.450 --> 0:11:02.630 that period of time. 0:11:02.670 --> 0:11:04.610 I don't, I didn't know anything about it until yesterday, 0:11:04.650 --> 0:11:06.069 but so he's got a chain. You've got a big 0:11:06.130 --> 0:11:07.990 bag of them and you have to change them constantly. 0:11:08.050 --> 0:11:09.750 Like every time you eat or you take them off. 0:11:09.950 --> 0:11:11.760 I didn't know anything about that. Back in the day, 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.060 they had headgear that people were right. 0:11:14.100 --> 0:11:14.940 I remember that. 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.360 Yeah. So that doesn't exist anymore. I haven't seen that 0:11:18.380 --> 0:11:19.140 in years. Uh-huh. 0:11:20.300 --> 0:11:22.550 Rubber bands, I think that's for your bite, right? Yes. 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.120 Okay. Yes, because your top teeth are supposed to be 0:11:26.350 --> 0:11:28.510 over the top of your bottom teeth just a little 0:11:28.530 --> 0:11:30.970 bit like mine are because I have million-dollar teeth. I, John, 0:11:31.010 --> 0:11:34.450 have million-dollar teeth. They're not supposed to match up perfectly. 0:11:34.470 --> 0:11:37.230 They're supposed to overbite just a little bit, and that's 0:11:37.270 --> 0:11:38.150 what the bands are for. 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.320 I don't remember why this happened, but I remember one 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.059 time I think I was like trying to get something 0:11:42.100 --> 0:11:43.590 out of the back of my teeth and the rubber 0:11:43.610 --> 0:11:44.830 band snapped in my mouth. 0:11:44.850 --> 0:11:48.210 Yeah, it was not a good time. I wonder when 0:11:48.230 --> 0:11:52.130 they started doing braces for humans. And I'll bet the 0:11:52.330 --> 0:11:55.790 early ones back in whenever it was were really painful. 0:11:56.230 --> 0:11:58.120 The idea of we're just going to put so much 0:11:58.250 --> 0:12:01.760 pressure on your teeth that it causes them to move 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:07.199 and stay there is really pretty crazy idea. But, you know, 0:12:07.380 --> 0:12:10.380 almost everybody does it. I read the stats about this 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.780 when I first signed up for it because it's expensive, 0:12:12.820 --> 0:12:17.010 as every parent knows. Something like two-thirds of people who 0:12:17.050 --> 0:12:21.350 get braces, it's cosmetic. It's not a necessity. It's just 0:12:21.390 --> 0:12:24.069 that you want your kid to have perfect teeth, which 0:12:24.170 --> 0:12:27.840 I didn't. I don't care about that for me or them. 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.600 But his teeth were really a mess. I mean, like... 0:12:31.510 --> 0:12:34.810 A couple of unfortunate things, so it was necessary. Insurance 0:12:34.830 --> 0:12:39.450 still doesn't cover it. Still incredibly expensive. Do you want 0:12:39.470 --> 0:12:41.670 the heebie-jeebies really quick? Sure. 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.140 So I had what's called an impacted cuspid. So I 0:12:45.179 --> 0:12:48.500 had a tooth that was like behind my front row 0:12:48.780 --> 0:12:52.310 of teeth. So they put the braces on to create 0:12:52.330 --> 0:12:53.230 a gap there. 0:12:53.270 --> 0:12:53.530 Yeah. 0:12:53.929 --> 0:12:56.650 And then they had to attach a chain to the tooth. 0:12:56.830 --> 0:12:58.990 And every week I'd go in and they'd turn this 0:12:59.070 --> 0:13:01.910 key to bring the tooth down. 0:13:01.929 --> 0:13:02.929 Wow. 0:13:03.130 --> 0:13:03.530 Oh, it was. 0:13:04.140 --> 0:13:06.140 Oh, my God. How old were you when they were 0:13:06.380 --> 0:13:08.450 putting a key in your head and turning it? 0:13:08.460 --> 0:13:12.530 I was 12 or 13. And it was just every 0:13:12.570 --> 0:13:14.940 week we had to take this half-hour drive to my 0:13:14.980 --> 0:13:17.080 orthodontist's office so I could sit down and he could 0:13:17.500 --> 0:13:20.420 put this key. It was like I looked like an 0:13:20.540 --> 0:13:21.140 old toy. 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.590 But as a grown-up woman with a fabulous smile, are 0:13:25.610 --> 0:13:27.270 you happy that that happened? 0:13:27.450 --> 0:13:29.470 Oh, yeah, without a doubt. Absolutely. 0:13:30.670 --> 0:13:33.630 Let's get some headlines with Katie Green. What is everybody reporting? 0:13:34.150 --> 0:13:37.830 Oh, all the alphabet networks talking about Trump to sign 0:13:37.850 --> 0:13:41.170 this agreement. This first one's ABC News. Trump to sign 0:13:41.230 --> 0:13:44.870 agreement with leaders of Greenland and Denmark at the United Nations. 0:13:44.890 --> 0:13:50.700 Yeah, we haven't talked about that. We don't own Greenland 0:13:50.740 --> 0:13:53.559 like he originally proposed, but we're going to have two 0:13:53.620 --> 0:13:55.220 military bases there. Yeah. 0:13:56.250 --> 0:13:59.770 NBC, Trump to address the UN General Assembly as Iran 0:13:59.860 --> 0:14:04.280 war rumbles on. And CNN, Iran to attend the UN 0:14:04.300 --> 0:14:07.200 Assembly in New York, even as peace with the United 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:08.840 States remains elusive. 0:14:08.860 --> 0:14:11.520 Yeah, Trump speaking and not that long, and we'll have 0:14:11.540 --> 0:14:12.820 some highlights a little bit later. 0:14:14.110 --> 0:14:17.890 From the Washington Post, drug cartels are making. 0:14:17.710 --> 0:14:21.800 Alarming drone advances. I'm sure they are. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:26.660 Well, they're attributing this to fighters are returning from the 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:31.500 Russia-Ukraine war and utilizing their skills and their drone knowledge 0:14:31.540 --> 0:14:33.760 from that with the drug cartels now. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.720 And what are the drug cartels using them for? 0:14:36.100 --> 0:14:36.780 To transport. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:42.140 Oh, okay. Yeah, obviously. You can fly the drugs across 0:14:42.180 --> 0:14:46.120 the border or from county to county or whatever. Yeah, okay. 0:14:47.590 --> 0:14:50.910 This one from the New York Times. Many Democrats are 0:14:50.990 --> 0:14:55.350 avoiding Kamala Harris. Abdul El-Sayed is welcoming her. 0:14:57.370 --> 0:14:58.070 Good luck with that. 0:14:59.830 --> 0:15:02.950 You mentioned this yesterday, Jack, I think. Wall Street Journal, 0:15:03.550 --> 0:15:08.470 ahead of a possible presidential bid, J.B. Pritzker says he is. 0:15:08.430 --> 0:15:11.550 Taking weight loss drugs. Well, it's good that he had, 0:15:11.570 --> 0:15:13.990 I don't know, denying it would have been ridiculous because 0:15:14.010 --> 0:15:16.390 he was a giant man and now he is skinny. 0:15:17.420 --> 0:15:20.250 So unless you're dying of a dread disease, that doesn't 0:15:20.290 --> 0:15:25.810 just happen. You have a GLP-1 story, don't you? Where 0:15:25.850 --> 0:15:26.500 did I hear that? 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.260 Yes, there's one in our news report. 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.740 Causes blindness? 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:34.100 Vision loss, yeah. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:35.750 Yeah, I need to look into that. 0:15:37.580 --> 0:15:41.940 USA Today, more Gen Zers are living with their parents 0:15:42.220 --> 0:15:44.520 and it's impacting their sex lives. 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.470 Oh, what? Living with your mom and dad? How's that 0:15:47.510 --> 0:15:54.450 impacting your sex life? I don't understand. Oh, my God. Well, 0:15:54.470 --> 0:15:58.080 they weren't having sex anyway, according to all studies. 0:15:58.320 --> 0:15:58.620 Yeah. 0:15:59.180 --> 0:16:01.720 It's just your excuse. I'd like to. I'd have a 0:16:01.740 --> 0:16:03.260 girlfriend if I didn't live with my mom and dad. 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.020 That's exactly the angle this article takes. From the New 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.290 York Post. This is just one hell of a headline. 0:16:10.330 --> 0:16:15.270 A $ 167 million Powerball winner arrested for the fifth time 0:16:15.370 --> 0:16:18.660 after hitting the jackpot for public intoxication in a Walmart 0:16:18.700 --> 0:16:19.460 parking lot. 0:16:19.740 --> 0:16:22.540 Wow. He won how much? 0:16:22.540 --> 0:16:23.160 $ 167 million. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:23.270 Wow. 0:16:26.670 --> 0:16:29.090 And what you've just said, we all dream of what 0:16:29.130 --> 0:16:30.890 we would do if we won the lottery, and his 0:16:30.990 --> 0:16:33.370 is get drunk in a Walmart parking lot, apparently. I'm 0:16:33.390 --> 0:16:37.090 going to go get blasted at Walmart. Live in the dream. 0:16:37.390 --> 0:16:42.320 No kidding. Oh, aim higher, friend. I know, dude. 0:16:42.890 --> 0:16:47.400 Study finds, similar to humans, AI judges people by their 0:16:47.500 --> 0:16:48.620 facial expressions. 0:16:49.180 --> 0:16:55.260 Huh. How? My AI ain't looking at me, I don't think. Anyway, 0:16:55.300 --> 0:16:56.100 we got to get to your joke. 0:16:57.130 --> 0:17:02.300 And finally, the Babylon Bee. Data Center disguises itself as 0:17:02.340 --> 0:17:04.820 an abortion clinic to win support from liberals. 0:17:04.859 --> 0:17:07.340 Yeah, I like that one. That's rough, but that's pretty good. 0:17:08.140 --> 0:17:11.160 On that topic of Gen Z not having sex because 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.920 they live with their mom and dad, I had a 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.470 conversation with somebody the other day whose kid's still living 0:17:16.490 --> 0:17:19.590 with them in their mid-20s and really unhappy with mom 0:17:19.609 --> 0:17:22.050 and dad's rules at the house. And that's a good topic. 0:17:22.700 --> 0:17:24.379 Because if you don't like the rules, maybe you ought 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.720 to get your own place. But more on the way. 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.050 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:29.630 --> 0:17:32.450 Schooling is a topic. It's having a moment, I think, 0:17:32.530 --> 0:17:35.070 as Joe and I have talked about, where more and 0:17:35.090 --> 0:17:37.130 more people are coming to the awareness that our school 0:17:37.170 --> 0:17:41.310 system is broken. Really, K through graduate degree, but we're 0:17:41.330 --> 0:17:44.230 going to be focusing here on K through 12. Our 0:17:44.270 --> 0:17:47.989 public school system is an absolute disaster, especially when you 0:17:48.030 --> 0:17:51.600 consider how much money we spend on it. And I 0:17:51.619 --> 0:17:53.720 think everybody's starting to figure that out. And this might 0:17:53.740 --> 0:17:57.820 have been a really good blow for that in that 0:17:59.619 --> 0:18:02.530 one of the most famous woke people, I mean, really 0:18:02.810 --> 0:18:09.610 one of the godmothers of woke, Nicole Hannah-Jones, who was 0:18:09.710 --> 0:18:13.450 writing the 1619 Project for the New York Times Magazine 0:18:13.490 --> 0:18:16.940 back in the day, Later became a book. She was 0:18:17.380 --> 0:18:20.389 making the argument that the United States was founded on 0:18:21.330 --> 0:18:23.190 slavery and that's the only reason we even had a 0:18:23.230 --> 0:18:26.090 country and all just a whole bunch of false crap 0:18:26.130 --> 0:18:28.629 that all kinds of different people have pointed out is BS. 0:18:28.650 --> 0:18:32.510 But she became a hero. And as you may have heard. 0:18:32.530 --> 0:18:32.590 Um. 0:18:34.350 --> 0:18:37.190 She sent publicly, she made a big deal out of 0:18:37.230 --> 0:18:42.330 this back in several years ago when her daughter was young, 0:18:42.850 --> 0:18:46.359 to a crappy school, her crappy local school on purpose. 0:18:46.580 --> 0:18:48.780 I will read this right now. Choosing a school for 0:18:48.820 --> 0:18:51.260 my daughter in a segregated city was the piece that 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.830 she wrote. I guess 12 years ago because her daughter's 0:18:54.869 --> 0:18:57.250 now 16. In it, she explained why she was sending 0:18:57.290 --> 0:19:00.560 her black four-year-old daughter to a bad public school when 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:01.840 she could have sent her to a good one or 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.240 even a private school. Now she's telling a different story 0:19:04.260 --> 0:19:06.780 about how that choice played out. Let me just read 0:19:06.820 --> 0:19:09.680 a little bit about this. Her theory was, and this 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.720 is where it gets a little complicated in our modern 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:17.200 polarized world where you have to hate everything the bad 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:21.050 people do and love everything the good people do. A 0:19:21.140 --> 0:19:27.580 lot of conservatives or non-woke people are pointing out Nicole 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.980 Hannah-Jones coming forward and saying this experiment didn't work is 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:34.419 a good thing and praising her for calling out her 0:19:34.460 --> 0:19:36.550 own mistake and how this didn't do any good. Her 0:19:36.650 --> 0:19:45.270 theory was she, as a high-profile, middle-upper-class parent, was going 0:19:45.290 --> 0:19:47.189 to send her kid to this school. She was going 0:19:47.210 --> 0:19:49.050 to be very involved, and she was going to try 0:19:49.090 --> 0:19:52.399 to make the school better. And she failed at that. 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:55.640 10 years later, the results are in rights, the free 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.300 press and the skeptics have run the table by Hannah 0:19:58.340 --> 0:20:01.899 Jones own account. Her presence didn't lift up this Brooklyn school. 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.940 The school dragged her down her daughter and barely seemed 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.180 to notice she was there. Let me read this part. 0:20:08.180 --> 0:20:11.500 When her daughter was in third grade, Hannah Jones decided 0:20:11.540 --> 0:20:14.500 to visit her school at lunchtime and found that the 0:20:14.540 --> 0:20:18.740 kids were sitting there with no lunch and no adult supervision. 0:20:19.340 --> 0:20:22.420 Other kids were running wild, chasing, hitting, and pushing each 0:20:22.510 --> 0:20:25.950 other while the teacher's aides and cafeteria workers stood by 0:20:26.030 --> 0:20:29.080 looking bored. At a private school, this would be an 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:33.330 emergency that led to immediate firings. At a dysfunctional public school, 0:20:33.390 --> 0:20:36.149 it's just another day. Hannah Jones was left trying to 0:20:36.250 --> 0:20:40.100 lobby an absentee principal who regularly wouldn't engage with her 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.780 or wasn't in the building at all. One of the 0:20:43.900 --> 0:20:46.600 third grade teachers was absent most of the time, and 0:20:46.619 --> 0:20:49.700 the substitute teacher either wasn't teaching anything or wasn't there 0:20:49.740 --> 0:20:52.859 at all. On another occasion, Hannah Jones discovered that her 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:56.790
