Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and he.

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 3: President Trump is holding a rally in Michigan on Tuesday

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 3: to mark the first one hundred days of his second term,

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: but the President is urging Republican members of Congress to

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: stay here in Washington, calling it a crucial week to

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 3: advance his agenda around immigration and tax cuts. Meanwhile, Senate

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 3: Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: Is vowing that Democrats.

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: Will resist the President's latest legislative push.

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: All right, we need to take a big, beautiful deal.

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: What about the bill?

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: We need the budget shut down.

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 4: I want to talk about riding Weymo for the first time,

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 4: the uh automated self driving taxi thing. I do want

18
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 4: to talk at least a little bit about the nut

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: job who drove into that crowd in Canada and killed

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 4: all those people. Just horrible story. But another this person

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 4: was mentally ill. Everybody knew they were mentally ill. We

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: got to come up with a system in Western society

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 4: to not have to wait till they do this kind

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 4: of damage before we can lock them up somehow.

25
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, as I've said many times, I'd be happy to

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: chair the committee. Let's get half a dozen reasonably intelligent,

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: reasonably reasonable people, and we can come up with a

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: policy that will prevent people from being targeted because I

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: don't know their ex boyfriend is angry at them. Right.

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: So five major polls came out over the weekend.

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 4: We had some of the early stuff on Friday with

32
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: Trump's approval rating going down. And there's a lot of

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: news around politics that drives me nuts because it's, of

34
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: course it did. Everybody's approval rating goes down from when

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 4: they take office till one hundred days later.

36
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: I mean, just look at it, president after president after president.

37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: It's the whole fully recognized there's a honeymoon period. But

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: when the honeymoon's over, you have screaming headlines.

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: The honeymoon's over, right, Yeah, exactly. I don't get that.

40
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: So Yeah, Anyway, there's one poll out there that hasn't

41
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: with the lowest approval rating any president's had it one

42
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 4: hundred days and eighty years. That's an outlier, though the

43
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 4: rest of them are just kind of normalish, you know,

44
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 4: mid forties kind of where lots of people have ended up,

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 4: including Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama and a whole bunch

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: of different people. Although there's plenty of room to go

47
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 4: down if this whole tariff thing kicks in the way,

48
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: it might, according to some people, in the next couple

49
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 4: of weeks, but that's a different topic.

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: On the issues.

51
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the New York Times Siena College poll

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 4: just to give you an example. They have Trump upside

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: down on immigration, with fifty one disapproved forty seven approved.

54
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: That's just about what it is that within the marginal bearer,

55
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 4: so he's fifty to fifty on immigration. I always like

56
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: to look. Joe brings us up all the time. It's

57
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 4: amazing people on the right win anything, are or don't

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 4: get trunks more in the polls given the fact that

59
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: all the coverage is negative. So if you take in CBS,

60
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 4: evening News, NPR, all kinds of mainstream coverage, it's all

61
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: negative on the border, all of it. This cancer victim

62
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: child was kicked out of the country. No, you know,

63
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: here's an upside to controlling our border, which ninety percent

64
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: of Americans wont. It's just so it's amazing to me

65
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 4: that's as high as fifty to fifty on the border.

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 4: Some of the other issues also underwater. Managing the federal

67
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 4: government minus eight, there's another story. It's always about how

68
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 4: awful it is that these federal workers lost their jobs.

69
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: Has listen to NPR and Friday and they're talking Marco Rubio,

70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: who's currently gutting the State Department, and I thought, okay, gutting.

71
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: You can say gutting. You also could have worded it

72
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: if you wanted to be unfair. You could just say

73
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: reducing the workforce if you wanted to be neutral, But

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: you could have if you wanted to spin it the

75
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: other direction, you could have said, Marco Rubio, who's trying

76
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 4: to streamline the State Department.

77
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: You could have said that had been perfectly fair. But

78
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: you didn't. You said gutting. And that again it's so.

79
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: The National Review, which is far from MAGA, characterized it

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: as a long overdue restructuring of foggy bottom, meaning the

81
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: State Department.

82
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 4: That's what mark gutting. Marco said that yesterday on one

83
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 4: of the Sunday talk shows. He said, the planet is

84
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: the same size as it was twenty years ago, but

85
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: the state departments twice as big.

86
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: Explain that to me, which is a pretty good point.

87
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 4: Other issues the economy, Trump's minus twelve, trade minus eleven,

88
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: Russia Ukraine war minus twenty one, and the Arbrego Garcia case.

89
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: That's the specific dude sent that they Salvador in prison

90
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 4: by accident.

91
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: That's the loving Maryland father.

92
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 4: Yes, but even the Trump people say they shouldn't have

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: sent him right to that prison.

94
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: He's minus twenty one on that.

95
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: So that's your various issues, and we can do more

96
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 4: of that later if you want it.

97
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: I don't know if you do.

98
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: That's listless. That's certain for certain. If the economy surges forward,

99
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean much. If the economy takes a poop,

100
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: it's very very bad.

101
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: But NBC News and they use the survey monkey, I

102
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 4: don't know what they get. You get two bananas if

103
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: you get within the margin of or something.

104
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: I don't know how they.

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: Well, they have an infinite number of monkeys taking an

106
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: infinite number of poles, which to one.

107
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: I don't want to lead with the best one, but

108
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: just to point out that young women are an outlier

109
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 4: in practically everything, which is kind of interesting. They should

110
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: break down more polls by age and gender. Because you'll

111
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 4: realize sometimes that wow, practically everybody feels this way, and

112
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: then there's one segment that feels way different, right, that

113
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: changes the old overall number quite a bit. I'll just

114
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: jump to the headline because I thought it was so

115
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 4: darn good. Oh, I'll go with this this one, approve

116
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 4: of Trump handling of DEI. For all adults, Trump's at

117
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 4: forty four percent, which I actually think is fairly high

118
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: given the way it's presented to people.

119
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been a disinformation campaign about what it is

120
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: for decades now.

121
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 4: Approve of Trump handling DEI all adults forty four percent.

122
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: Gen Z men right in line with all adults forty

123
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: five percent. So you get to gen Z women twenty

124
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: two percent. Oh, by half as many, a twenty point

125
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: drop off for gen Z women. They have a way

126
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 4: different view of it than practically everybody else. And this one,

127
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: which really I found bothersome are you proud to be American?

128
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: Uh?

129
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: Oh?

130
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 4: In the category of little or not at all? To

131
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: be an American little or not at all? I was

132
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: happy to see for all adults it's only twenty two percent.

133
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: That means three quarters of Americans are somewhat or very

134
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: proud to be an American. That's good news three quarters,

135
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: but all adults twenty two percent for uh not dig

136
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: in this country. Gen Z men in line with the

137
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: all of America twenty two percent.

138
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: Gen Z bump fellas.

139
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: Gen Z women forty one percent of gen Z women

140
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: are only a little or not at all proud to

141
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 4: be an American forty one percent.

142
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: I have an idea that that's not our greatest demographic

143
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: strength as a show either, and it's a shame. I

144
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: would love, love, love to know the perception from inside

145
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: that cohort. If you're a gen Z woman or no one,

146
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: can you help explain that? Or are they all so

147
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: crazy they would explain it in a way that we

148
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: found completely. I think it's a sitting.

149
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: The only hang up here is separating it from the men,

150
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 4: since the men went to the same schools as the women.

151
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: I mean, if we're gonna blame the schooling system, although

152
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 4: way more women going to college than men, but that

153
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 4: is a shocking difference.

154
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, I think it is. It's a pretty

155
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: easy equation to understand how it got this way. I'll

156
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: answer my own question. You have the aggressive teaching of

157
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: the radical Neo Marxism in our schools now under our noses,

158
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: and we let it happen, and it is universally, it's

159
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: practically universally now taught in our education systems horrifying K

160
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: through through grad school. Men have rejected this ideology at

161
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: numbers much much, much larger than women. And it comes

162
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: back to a bit of wisdom that we came across

163
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: a number of months ago that I held on to,

164
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: and I wish i'd made a note of who said this?

165
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: Is a woman who wrote it. She wrote, people who

166
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: can't defend themselves physically, women and low testosterone men parse

167
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: information through a consensus filter as a safety mechanism. They

168
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: literally do not ask is this true? They ask will

169
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: others be okay with me? Thinking this is true? This

170
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: makes them very malleable to brute force manufactured consensus. If

171
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: every screen they look at says the same thing, they

172
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: will adopt that position because their brain interprets it as

173
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: everyone in the tribe believes it. They don't ask is

174
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: this true? They ask will others be okay? With me?

175
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: Thinking this is true? And women, for all of their

176
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: incredible strengths and wonder, are much more prone to that

177
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: sort of thinking than men.

178
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: Driven by just being physically small or weaker. Yeah, they

179
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: need consensus. That's funny. My son and I had a conversation,

180
00:09:58,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: not about this, but kind of.

181
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 4: So we're coming down the elevator at the hotel in

182
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 4: San Francisco, and this woman got on and then got off,

183
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: and she was like grown woman with bags, attractive but

184
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: like four or eleven ninety pounds, And we're just talking

185
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 4: about what it'd be like to be that size where

186
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 4: practically everybody you run into above fourth grade could knock

187
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: you down and take your stuff.

188
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: I have no idea what that would do to your

189
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: worldview throughout the day or rape you. Sure, having raised

190
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: two daughters has opened my eyes to that a lot.

191
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: Can I never think about it, obviously, but I don't

192
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 4: have to, and so you know, Okay, so that fits

193
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 4: in with you're looking for how do I stay safe?

194
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: And you think most people think this, so I'm going

195
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: to think this too.

196
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Arwell wrote about it that it was in nineteen

197
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: eighty four. He was writing in the voice of a character,

198
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: but it said it was usually the young woman's that

199
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: became the most enthusiastic and radical, the most crazed about

200
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: rooting out descent and reporting it to the authorities.

201
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: But they're wrong on this one, very wrong. So how

202
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: do we turn that around?

203
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, root out the rot in the education system,

204
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: which is a monster task. What we've got to do.

205
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: It's absolutely necessary.

206
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine if those numbers we saw

207
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: among young women who are essentially ashamed of being American

208
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: in spite of the utter delusion in thinking that our

209
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: sins are unique in history. They're not. That's the key point.

210
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: They may be sins and they should be corrected, but

211
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: everybody was doing it anyway. Can you imagine if that

212
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: attitude spread among the generalized population, we'd be doomed as

213
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: a country, a civilization.

214
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 4: It's interesting to me, though, that twenty points worth of

215
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 4: men of the same age going to the same schools

216
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 4: see through that nonsense and roll their eyes at it

217
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 4: or dismiss it or whatever.

218
00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: Right that what would you call it accommodation bias? They

219
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: don't have the consensus filter in the same way. I mean,

220
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: it's not like menor are completely above conformity. Lord knows, sure,

221
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: it's just a little different.

222
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 2: That is fascinating.

223
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 4: If you have any theory on this hit us with

224
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 4: a text four one five, two nine five KFTC. I

225
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: have been unhappy with some of the results in the

226
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 4: NBA playoffs. I didn't know the Lakers would be down

227
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 4: three to one. I don't know how much you're paying

228
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 4: attention to that. Anyway, you could get your involved in

229
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 4: all of this sort of stuff, including the Major League

00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: for the first time. Sixty minutes of Second Story last

253
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: night was amazing, and any thoughts you have on why

254
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: young men young women have such a different view of

255
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: America than really everyone else.

256
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 2: Stay tuned. You really introduced a way for my friends

257
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: to criticize me in a new way.

258
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 5: All my.

259
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: Really, all the criticism that comes my way now is

260
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 4: combined in some way with the fact that I put

261
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 4: cream in my coffee. I want to talk about last

262
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 4: night sixty minutes coming up.

263
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: Stay tuned for that.

264
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I want to go back to that cream

265
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: in the coffee theme that we discussed last week, because

266
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about it all weekend long.

267
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: It's very interesting, actually oddly enough.

268
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, move over a quene Wah. The new it food,

269
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: the new it crop. Its name is terrible, it's nutrition

270
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: is excellent. Sorghum dang it.

271
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 4: I didn't I never even tried the quene waw and

272
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 4: we're already onto sorgum.

273
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: Oh no quenewas so yesterday, please, it's it's dead oredan

274
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: disco sorgum be back like for the fourth time.

275
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 4: Sorghum as a guy who's a family roots or in Iowa.

276
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: I've heard of sorghum. I know about sorghum, but in

277
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 4: what way are people eating sorghum?

278
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: Well with the mouths It is a high protein non GMO,

279
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: which I don't give a single poop about gluten free grain. Now,

280
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: some of the folks on the sorgam counsel or worried

281
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: about the name. Just it's not a good name. It's

282
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: not said Claive Harris, the head chef at something or other.

283
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: The sore is fine, but the gum industrates implies maybe

284
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: chewing gum.

285
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's it, but it's funny how

286
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 4: quene waw sounds like something I should try and is healthy.

287
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 4: Sorgum sounds like something I don't want to try, and uh,

288
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 4: I don't know it was sketchy.

289
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: Sorgum has twice the protein of quenwaw and four times

290
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: that of rice or corn. I don't go to rice

291
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: for protein, but that is kind of interesting.

292
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: I remember as a kid riding in a car where

293
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: my dad's younger brother said to him, do you remember

294
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 4: how to harvest sorghum? And they got into a conversation

295
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: about how you harvest sorghum, which I think good stuff.

296
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: I thought was interesting because I certainly didn't know how

297
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: to do that.

298
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: The Sorghum check Off, a former funded marketing group, touts

299
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: the cereal as a super grain and quote pro planet

300
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: protein source that's packed full of nutrients.

301
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: Sarah show for sorgum, put it in my yogurt or

302
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: my smoothiear you can well.

303
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: For instance, their website features recipes for waffles, cheeseburger bowls,

304
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: sorghum breaded chicken tenders, and more. Sorghum can be popped

305
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: like popcorn and brewed in beer or tea. The plant

306
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: can also be used to make sorghum syrup. Sorgum is

307
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: having its moment. It'll help your gut bacteria and give

308
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: you a longer lasting erection.

309
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: Wow.

310
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: That last part I didn't see coming, but U okay,

311
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: well said. And then this also from the world of

312
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: the commerce. More or less, tech workers are now just

313
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: like the rest of us, miserable at work. Say goodbye

314
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: to the free lunches, skateboards, ping pong tables and massage.

315
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: You know stations in Silicon Valley not so long ago.

316
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: Working in tech job security, extravagant perks, and bring your

317
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: whole self to the office right. Vomit ethos rare in

318
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: other industries these days, writes Catherine Bindle in The Wall

319
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: Street Journal, A position to tech looks like a regular job.

320
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: And it's not just that there's no more grass fed

321
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: beef jerky in the kitchens. Instead, workers are contending with

322
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: the constant fear of layoffs, longer hours, and an ever

323
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: growing list of responsibilities for the same pay.

324
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 4: I was just at the vending machine in the lunch

325
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 4: room and there was no sorghum in there. We'll look

326
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 4: into that right away and get some sorghum.

327
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: It's a stark reversal for a group that's own little

328
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: bit boom times when tech set the trend for workplace culture,

329
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: spreading ping pong tables off site retreats, kale chips and

330
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: the kale chips please, they're embarrassing compared to Keene Wall

331
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: and the idea that hoodies are appropriate office for tire.

332
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: But now apparently the bloom is off the ros and

333
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: now they're just grinning and baronet and singing a stinking job.

334
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: Well, welcome to life.

335
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: It was fun. Well that lasted. Huh.

336
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

337
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 4: I never know if I believe those stories either direction

338
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 4: how much it's actually happening, Whether the the skateboard direction

339
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 4: or the suit and tie direction.

340
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: I don't know which.

341
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: I saw the skateboarding, saw it on the news.

342
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 4: Sixty minutes with some interesting stuff last night. That nine

343
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: to eleven story I want to tell you about if

344
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 4: you didn't see.

345
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: It, what back Armstrong and Getty.

346
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 6: Fair. This video of a Saudi national filming the US Capitol,

347
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 6: It's security posts and nearby landmarks was taken in the

348
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 6: summer of nineteen ninety nine and turned over to the

349
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 6: FBI after nine to eleven, but it was never shared

350
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 6: with the bureau's own field agents or top intelligence officials.

351
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 5: A lot of people will see this video for the

352
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 5: first time and think, how is it remotely possible that

353
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 5: it's just coming to light now. Could it really have

354
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 5: been sitting in an evidence locker room all of these years?

355
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

356
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: Quite a story on sixty Minutes.

357
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 4: Last night's story number two, which reminded me of what

358
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 4: I loved about sixty Minutes most of my life, because

359
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 4: I've watched practically every episode since I was like twelve

360
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 4: years old.

361
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: Was just you know, really interesting news stories with what

362
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: the hell's going on there? Sort of bent to it.

363
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: Let me s time enough to develop them a lot

364
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: more than your evening news for instance.

365
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, bigger budget and more time to develop the stories.

366
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 4: Let's hear a little bit of this and let's see

367
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: if it fills in the gaps.

368
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: If it doesn't, I will.

369
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 6: Federal investigators believe the hijackers on flight ninety three, which

370
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 6: crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, plan to hit the US capital

371
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 6: as their likely target. In the video, bay Umi references

372
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 6: a quote plan.

373
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 7: You said that in the plan?

374
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: What plan?

375
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: What do you think he's talking about.

376
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 7: I think he's talking to the al Qaeda planners who

377
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 7: tasked him to take the pre operational surveillance video of

378
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 7: the intended target.

379
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 6: So this video is taken in late June and early July.

380
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 5: Of nineteen ninety nine.

381
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 6: What does that timing tell you, Well.

382
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 7: That means it was taken within ninety days of the

383
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 7: time when senior al Qaeda planners reached the decision that

384
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 7: the Capitol would be a target of the nine to

385
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 7: eleven attacks.

386
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: So let me fill in some of the background here

387
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 2: so you understand what the heck is going on.

388
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 4: So she got this Saudi dude who was in the

389
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:21,239
Speaker 4: United States pre nine eleven, nineteen ninety nine, and they

390
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 4: show this video that he took in Washington, d C.

391
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 4: Where he's going around the Capitol building in various other

392
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 4: places but the Capitol and showing hey, this is the

393
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 4: south side of the Capitol.

394
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: Here's the garage over here where they park. Here are

395
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: the entrance and the exits and stuff like that.

396
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: Some paperwork that showed various altitudes planes would have to

397
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: be at to land, I mean, all kinds of different things.

398
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: And somehow this video didn't make it to.

399
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 4: The FBI and the CIA after nine eleven, when they're

400
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 4: doing the whole investigation of trying to figure out, you know,

401
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 4: who was behind this, how it was it planned to

402
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 4: what extent was was the Saudi government, perhaps involved.

403
00:20:58,960 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 2: That's why it's coming out now.

404
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 4: There's a lawsuit by many of the victims of nine

405
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 4: to eleven's families who were suing the Saudi Arabia, the

406
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 4: government of Saudi Arabia, for saying they had involvement.

407
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: Whether or not that comes out to any thing or not,

408
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. But how did this video?

409
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 4: And they talked to a number of people in the

410
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 4: CIA or in the FBI at the time who were

411
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: doing all these investigations. You know, if you read the

412
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 4: nine to eleven Committee report, which we read a lot

413
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 4: about in the air back when it came out, they

414
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 4: didn't have access to this for some reason. And they

415
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 4: can't imagine why play the very next one. This woman

416
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 4: was in charge of a lot of the investigations on

417
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 4: this very topic with the CIA.

418
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 5: In your view, this video was so significant that it

419
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 5: should have gone all the way to the top to

420
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 5: the White House.

421
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 8: I think it should happen because it's the Capitol building.

422
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 6: Gena Bennett was a senior counter terrorism analyst at the

423
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 6: CIA for twenty years.

424
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 8: In the aftermath of nine to eleven, we were briefing

425
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 8: the President and the National Security Council. We didn't expect

426
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 8: that this was a one and done. We expected al

427
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 8: Kaida to continue to try, so resources were going entirely

428
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 8: to trying to undermine any additional plotting.

429
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: See, I don't I don't think this is mysterious at all. Okay, sorry,

430
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: it's someone high up in the White House or the

431
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: CIA said, any who is the Saudi taking the video?

432
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: Do we have information on that?

433
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 4: They don't know where he status or they don't know

434
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 4: where he is. No, they have no idea where he is.

435
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 4: They think he's back in Saudi Arabia. He not only

436
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: because I don't think one of these clips so not

437
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 4: only did he take that video, then he goes to

438
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 4: San Diego where he just happens to help out a

439
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: couple of dudes from Saudi Arabia, just countryman news helping

440
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 4: out who were two of the hijackers.

441
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 2: And gets them a place to live.

442
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: Yeah I remember him. So, Yeah, somebody high up in

443
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: the White House or the CIA talked to the Saudi

444
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: regime who said, look, we've got a radical faction. They're

445
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: in our government. If this gets out, it'll ruin us.

446
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: We're with you to fight back again. These guys, please

447
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: don't say anything and they got agreement. Don't show any

448
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: evidence that ties our people directly into this, we'd be

449
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: We'll make it worth your while. I can practically guarantee

450
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: you that's what happened.

451
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty horrifying.

452
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 4: If that's what happened while that woman there and a

453
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 4: bunch of other people were trying to figure out what's

454
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 4: the next round of attacks. You're gonna hide the fact

455
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 4: that there's some dude might still be here in the

456
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 4: country who's organizing these cells because it'd be embarrassing to

457
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 4: the Saudis.

458
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I realize a lot of spy novels

459
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: and suspense thrillers are a little overcooked. But the idea

460
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: that the people doing the grunt work are being jobbed

461
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: by some of the powers that be way upstairs on

462
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: the sixth floor, it's not exactly an original idea. It happens.

463
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: Here's a little bit more.

464
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 5: The Saudi government says this is a tourist video that

465
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 5: there's nothing to see here.

466
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: You don't buy that, No, I don't.

467
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 8: Who does a tourist video that is reporting back on

468
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 8: this is where that building is and here's where the

469
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 8: security guards are.

470
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's back to my point.

471
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, nobody brought up your angle, which certainly might

472
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: be true. I really yeah, I'd be interested in what

473
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 4: that CIA director woman or the CIA woman thinks why

474
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 4: this information was kept to her from her or any

475
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 4: of the other investigators, because I mean, it seems beyond pertinent.

476
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 4: Like she said, it probably should have gone all the

477
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 4: way up to the president, although you're saying it maybe

478
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: it did go all the way up to the president

479
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 4: and they.

480
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, or certainly yeah, Dick Cheney or somebody in the CIA. Yeah,

481
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: I suspect the president. Our relationship with the Saudi's, I mean,

482
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: look at Joe Biden the Mummy, so he's particularly enthusiastic

483
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: about the Middle East being a mummy, but I mean

484
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: him declaring that they're a parries states, and then eighteen

485
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: months later, well we can't shake hands, but we'll have

486
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: a fish bump, and then you know, six months after that,

487
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: he's just fully kissing their asses again. It's just they're

488
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: a friend of me. They've always been, and they have

489
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: as you know very well, there's a radical faction within

490
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Saudi society that's Islamist fundamentalist, and there's some folks in

491
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: the royal family who are down with that.

492
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 4: Well, has it been long enough that they can say

493
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 4: out loud what you're saying or not, because otherwise they

494
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 4: not calling it a tourist video? Please, well, can we

495
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 4: say it out loud? Saudi Arabi is obviously denying, just

496
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 4: because obviously this feeds a lot of your nine to

497
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 4: eleven's conspiracies who believe it's an inside job or something

498
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 4: like that.

499
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not, but well, yeah they could say it

500
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: unless NBS says, Hey, this whole Middle East piece thing

501
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: we're working on with Israel, why would you throw a

502
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: monkey wrench into that. These events happened twenty three years ago,

503
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: twenty four years ago, let's be cool. And the Trump

504
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: administration probably says, yeah, I see your point.

505
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 4: So this guy is the Capitol, which I didn't know

506
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: they had declared that the Capitol was the target.

507
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 2: Man.

508
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 4: Can you imagine if they had been successful in crashing

509
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 4: into that building, maybe killing I don't know, one hundred

510
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 4: and fifty reps or maybe all of them, who knows, or.

511
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: Just if they only killed tourists. Can you imagine crushing

512
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: the rotunda and reducing that to rubble, just the visual

513
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: bollock fellon?

514
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Holy crap.

515
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: We might have invaded like every country in the Middle

516
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: East if that had happened.

517
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: Holy crap.

518
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 4: But anyway, so this guy cases the capitol, does the video,

519
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 4: goes to San Diego, helps two of the hijackers find

520
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 4: someplace to live because they didn't have any means of

521
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 4: support or cash or anyway to rent a place. He

522
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 4: helps him out with that so that they can have

523
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 4: some place to hang out before they hijack the plane

524
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 4: and attack America. And then he disappears back to Saudi

525
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 4: Arabia and they just keep that hidden from the actual

526
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 4: investigators who're trying to figure out is there another attack

527
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 4: coming or how did this all happen.

528
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: That's troubling.

529
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: Mm hmm wow. The ugly, ugly trade offs that are

530
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: like a daily occurrence in foreign policy. It's one of

531
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: the most shocking things I learned as a young college boy. There.

532
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: I was fresh faced, flat stomached, Michael awakened Gladys which

533
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: is Gladys player Harper. I was learning about American foreign policy.

534
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: I was a young patriot, of course, but not the

535
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: realist that I am now. And we went into the

536
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: various pros and cons of supporting various regimes to resist communism,

537
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: whether in the Southeast Asia like Vietnam, or in the

538
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: South and Central America. Good lord, some of the regimes

539
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: we were in bed with. But what are you gonna do?

540
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: Let communism take over your hemisphere?

541
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 4: No, I get that, and I'm aware of all that stuff,

542
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 4: but this is a different level, biggest attack in US

543
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 4: soil since Pearl Harbor.

544
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. We all know how big a deal

545
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,120
Speaker 2: it was at the time.

546
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 4: To still hide this sort of information from the very

547
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 4: investigators or trying to stop another one.

548
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: Still need this out, hees Wow, to quote the immortal

549
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: Don Henley, I might be wrong, but I could be wrong,

550
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: but I'm not.

551
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 4: I don't think we have time to fully get into

552
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 4: the Scott Pelly thing, and I don't want to give

553
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 4: it a short shrift to the one of the the

554
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 4: guy that drives Joe nuts because he talks so slow.

555
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: He drives Joe nuts.

556
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 4: He talk so slow on sixty minutes, gave a speech

557
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: at the end about their parent company and the new

558
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 4: boss and all this sort of stuff and free speech

559
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 4: and blah blah blah. We'll get into that later, and

560
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 4: all makes my hind in tired.

561
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was kind of my takeaway too, A

562
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: tired heine. But I took an automated taxi, one of

563
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: the Waimo taxis, for the first time in San Francisco

564
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: on Friday, and I want to talk a little bit

565
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: about that and what it's going to do to the world,

566
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera.

567
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: Coming up. Stay here, we're in a waymo it was.

568
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 9: Going the wrong way. We called customer support and it

569
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 9: stopped us right here and would.

570
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: Let us out of the car.

571
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 9: And we kept saying, hey, we're on a highway please,

572
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 9: cars kept honking at us, and it would not move.

573
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 9: It would not let us out, no one from customer support,

574
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 9: but actually move the way.

575
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: Moo.

576
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 9: So now we're walking on Mopack and our Waimo is

577
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 9: still there. This is insane.

578
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: Waybo there you go.

579
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 4: So, for whatever reason, a lot of people hate one

580
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 4: electric cars and two self driving cars. There's a real

581
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 4: pushback against that whole thing. I'm not exactly sure what

582
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 4: that is.

583
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get the electric car. I just think it's

584
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: opposition to those who would shove it down our throats,

585
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: no matter how ecological and expensive it is.

586
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: I certainly get that yeah, but.

587
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 4: I had been in San Francisco a number of times

588
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 4: in the last year where I saw the Weymo taxis

589
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 4: driving around and I just never got around to downloading

590
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 4: the app and doing all the stuff to ride one.

591
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 4: And so this past weekend I was in the city

592
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 4: with my son end of his spring break to do

593
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 4: some shopping.

594
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: Run around, look at motorcycles and whatnot.

595
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 4: We were in North Beach after eating dinner and I said,

596
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 4: let's take away MOO. So I took the time to

597
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 4: download the app and fill in all the information and

598
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 4: figure out. It was quite easy, very handy, and in

599
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 4: the way that a lot of Silicon Valley high tech

600
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 4: stuff is. They're good at it, and ordered one up.

601
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 4: And the first of all, they're all over the place.

602
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: I mean absolutely all over the city. And there's only

603
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 4: a handful of cities in the country where they're operating

604
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 4: currently Phoenix, San Francisco, somebody said, Austin. But they're all

605
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 4: over it seems like every other car is a way mo.

606
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 4: They're white Jaguars and there's no driver in them kind

607
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 4: of stand out as there's obviously nobody driving the thing.

608
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 4: And so I dialed one up, just like if you

609
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 4: use Uber or anything like that. You put your destination

610
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 4: in there and it knows where you are because it's

611
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 4: looking at your app, and it tells you when the

612
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 4: car will pick you up and what it's going to cost,

613
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 4: and you either agree or don't agree, And it said

614
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 4: it'll be twelve minutes, which is a really long time

615
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 4: when you're in a big city on a Saturday evening.

616
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 4: I mean, because there's ubers all over the place. So

617
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 4: I took the hit just to ride a Weimo when

618
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 4: I know I could have gotten an Uber in two minutes.

619
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 4: That's something they're going to have to be better at.

620
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 4: Her Uber will win out just from a convenience standpoint.

621
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: But once the novelties weren't off, you wouldn't wait twelve minutes,

622
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: all right.

623
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 4: And I wondered how many people because there are lots

624
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 4: of people getting in Weimo's and I thought, wow, how

625
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 4: many people are taking it for the novelty versus they prefer.

626
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: It or whatever? It had to be a new street car. Yeah,

627
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: it's a tourist attraction. Yeah.

628
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 4: So like a lot of high tech like the Apple

629
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 4: Vision pro headset or whatever, what's the sixth month plan?

630
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 4: Is it going to be in a drawer or will

631
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: people still actually use it once the I can say

632
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 4: I've done this before wears off. I don't know about that,

633
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 4: but it it shows up, you press on the little

634
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: app unlock, the door's unlock, and you climb in, and

635
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 4: it's a bit of a weird feeling that you're getting

636
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 4: into a vehicle with no driver and you close the

637
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 4: door and off you go. Now, as I mentioned earlier,

638
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 4: I went to San Francisco in myself driving Tesla with

639
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 4: it driving most of the way, so it's not a

640
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 4: crazy feeling for me to have something else driving that

641
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 4: it might be if you've never done that before. But

642
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 4: my son was kind of freaking out, and we took

643
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 4: some videos where we scream because I thought those would

644
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 4: be funny to send to people.

645
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: Ahh, there's no driver.

646
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: But it drove.

647
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: It drove.

648
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 4: Have you ridden with cab drivers in big cities in

649
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 4: your life? I mean, it drove safer than many cab

650
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 4: drivers I've been in, you know, San Francisco or New

651
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 4: York with I was just gonna say I've had cab

652
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 4: rides in New York where I spent the whole ride thinking,

653
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 4: you know what.

654
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: I've had a good life. I've been blessed. It's okay

655
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: if it ends.

656
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 8: Right.

657
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 4: So then you combine the fact that you got a

658
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 4: screen in front of you where you adjust your temperature,

659
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 4: choose your music and the volume, and you don't feel

660
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 4: like you need to talk to anybody, although sometimes I

661
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 4: really like talking with cab drivers and I got a

662
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: story about that later.

663
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: I talked to this guy from Pakistan, was very, very interesting.

664
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: But do they planted in body odor just to make

665
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: you feel more comfortable? I was gonna say that the

666
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: complete lack of another human beings odor was nice too.

667
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: Their breath, their fresh there air freshener, their gum, whatever

668
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 1: it is. There's just no other human there in an

669
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: aggressive sense. I gotta say.

670
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 2: On the whole way, I think I prefer the driverless taxi.

671
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 2: It was.

672
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 4: It was a problem free, completely problem free, going around, merging, stopping,

673
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 4: letting us out, everything like that.

674
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: And uh, what's the downside?

675
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 4: Is there a downside other than it's going to eliminate

676
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 4: gazillions of jobs across the country, But there's nothing you

677
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 4: can do about that.

678
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: Change happens just.

679
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: When AI eliminates a gazillion more. Yeah, yeah, I could

680
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: see the appeal. It's like when I get on a train,

681
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: for well, a driverless cars, like a trackless train. When

682
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: I get on a train, I don't have to put

683
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: up with stink and stupid conversation or whatever. I just

684
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: it goes where it's gonna go. Kind of like that.

685
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 4: I asked because I took quite a few ubers as

686
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 4: we moved around town, and I ask everybody, what do

687
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 4: you think of the WAIM and nobody said anything negative

688
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 4: about it. But it's going to eliminate in the same

689
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 4: way that Uber and Lyft eliminated taxis.

690
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: This is going to eliminate Uber and Lyft.

691
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 4: I think it's just gonna wipe them out because it's

692
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 4: just got to be so much heat cheaper overall to

693
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 4: have no employees, none of the hatsle that goes with

694
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 4: having employees.

695
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, where that they've gone with Jaguars, I wonder why.

696
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: It must be some sort of deal they struck. But

697
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: in a related story, if I might, there is a company.

698
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: Did you know that autonomous trucking companies have been testing

699
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: their fleets on Texas highways for several years.

700
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 4: No, I've seen one autonomous semi truck, which is a

701
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 4: little worrisome just because they're so big and heavy.

702
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: The idea that nobody's driving it.

703
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: Well, all the companies have always had backup safety drivers

704
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: in the cab they as they test in Texas. But

705
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: now one company, Aurora Innovation, which is interestingly based out

706
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh, the Silicon Valley of Pennsylvania, says it plans

707
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: to go completely driverless at the end of the month.

708
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been telling you.

709
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 4: Elon says Tesla is going to go driverless into twenty

710
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 4: twenty six. I mean, you don't have to pay attention anymore.

711
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 4: Fully automated like the Weaimo, you just ride in it.

712
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 4: And are state laws going to allow this or how

713
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 4: our insurance company is going to handle it?

714
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: I don't know how that'll shake out.

715
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: Given the enormous importance of shipping in the United States

716
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: and how it affects the bottom lines of all of

717
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: the big companies and all the small ones. I think

718
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: the lobbyists will get their way because we've got a

719
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: terrible shortage of truck drivers right now, high driver turnover rate,

720
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: you get to guys who don't drive terribly well, and

721
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think this will be enormous for the economy,

722
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: but put a hell of a lot of people out

723
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: of work. One employees are expensive, healthcare, HR complaints, sick days,

724
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: all kinds of different things. I steal a lot office supplies.
