Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty, I know he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3: CNN has published a profile and Zron Mamdanni's wife, so
Speaker 3: that news lady, he's married, and even worse news Cuomo
Speaker 3: isn't that should be considered in the fact that Mam
Speaker 3: Donnie won who he ran against. But the fact though, yeah,
Speaker 3: young people call themselves socialists in New York is a problem.
Speaker 3: We'll talk more about that election and hear a little
Speaker 3: more from his speech in some of the analysis a
Speaker 3: little bit later this hour.
Speaker 1: Yeah, indeed, I got a lot of good stuff and
Speaker 1: not the usual blah blah blah about the election you'll
Speaker 1: get in other places. Not the usual blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: completely different blah blah blah, unusual blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: So got into a conversation with Groc yesterday.
Speaker 3: Again, I do on a fairly regular basis in my
Speaker 3: if you drive a Tesla, Groc is in there.
Speaker 1: And you're really gravitating. Oh I see, I was just
Speaker 1: going to say you're gravitating toward Groc. But part of
Speaker 1: its convenience as opposed to other Yeah.
Speaker 3: I've got I have chat GPT on my phone. I
Speaker 3: have chat GPT, Grock, and Claude. I don't know why
Speaker 3: I chose those three. There are others out there, and
Speaker 3: I usually compare and contrast them to see what kind
Speaker 3: of answers they would get. For instance, last night, just
Speaker 3: give you to an inkling or just an insight into
Speaker 3: my incredibly fascinating life. Last night I was doing research
Speaker 3: on this guy I had never heard of until I
Speaker 3: was taking in a Jonah Goldberg podcast the other day
Speaker 3: and when she was talking about this guy, Henry George.
Speaker 3: Are you familiar with Henry George? Maybe you are from
Speaker 3: in a political science major. I don't know. Vaguely familiar,
Speaker 3: kind of interesting on a day after an election.
Speaker 2: Henry George was like the not like.
Speaker 3: He was the most influential political thinker of the last
Speaker 3: half of the eighteen hundreds. He wrote a book about it,
Speaker 3: called Progress and Poverty. It was the number two selling
Speaker 3: book in the world behind the Bible. Georgism was a
Speaker 3: movement all around the world. He was huge. He would
Speaker 3: go to town to town and draw in tens of
Speaker 3: thousands of people to come hear him speak about his
Speaker 3: particular political ideas and everything like that. And for you know,
Speaker 3: the way history works, sometimes some people just disappear from
Speaker 3: history and you never hear his name, and nobody ever
Speaker 3: talks about him.
Speaker 2: But he's like the biggest thing.
Speaker 1: I've already forgotten his first name. Henry said, yes, Henry George.
Speaker 3: And so anyway, getting maybe I'll talk about that more later,
Speaker 3: but getting back to AI, I asked chat, GBT, Claude
Speaker 3: and grok Uh, you know, tell me a little bit
Speaker 3: about Henry George and how popular he was, and they
Speaker 3: all had a little bit different information. They were all good,
Speaker 3: found it interesting, different topic. So we're writing in the
Speaker 3: truck yesterday. God, what was the topic. It doesn't even
Speaker 3: really matter what the topic was that I brought up
Speaker 3: to groc and asked it a question, and so she
Speaker 3: started to answer, and immediately Henry jumped in. He said,
Speaker 3: that's not right, that doesn't make any sense. I said,
Speaker 3: you interrupted her, and he said that it's not her,
Speaker 3: it's a computer. And I said, and I said, you
Speaker 3: keep interrupting her, and I want to hear what her
Speaker 3: answer is. And he kept saying, she's not her anyway,
Speaker 3: I said to Groc, I said, I said, I'm sorry
Speaker 3: he interrupted, and she said, that's okay, it happens anyway,
Speaker 3: and then she finishes her answer so freaking weird, and
Speaker 3: Henry and I both looked at each other wide. I'd like, ah,
Speaker 3: something just happened that is strange and frightening and needs
Speaker 3: to be recognized.
Speaker 1: I can't open the hatch, Dave, or whatever the hell
Speaker 1: the computer says.
Speaker 2: In two thousand and one of Space.
Speaker 3: My son and I getting into an argument about him
Speaker 3: interrupting her in quotes, and she laughs, is, yeah, don't worry,
Speaker 3: it happens anyway. As I was saying, what what now?
Speaker 1: See, Yeah, it's funny. Humanity's probably divided into roughly, I
Speaker 1: don't know, a thirds or whatever, A third don't care,
Speaker 1: a third thing that's great, it's charming, and third of
Speaker 1: us like are like, this is a con This is
Speaker 1: attempting to get in my good graces for a reason.
Speaker 2: What is that reason?
Speaker 1: To take over the world and drain our vital fluids
Speaker 1: and take our organs.
Speaker 3: And the fact that she, like probably you know, had
Speaker 3: a sense of what was going on there that it
Speaker 3: was something that a laugh was a perfectly normal human
Speaker 3: response up to a father and a teenage son arguing
Speaker 3: about something. Yeah, that was silly. It was a silly topic.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Is just this freaking disturbing? Yeah? Odd times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so speaking of that sort of thing, this is
Speaker 1: interesting on several different levels. Got this note from Craig,
Speaker 1: the healthcare guru who we correspond with semi frequently in
Speaker 1: real life, and he says, Guys, I'm using GPT in
Speaker 1: the robot mode. We talked about this yesterday. You can
Speaker 1: assign it different personalities. So sometimes it's like the super
Speaker 1: cheer leady friend in a way that is off putting
Speaker 1: in weird, and or it can be like robot mode,
Speaker 1: just very straightforward.
Speaker 2: And he was using.
Speaker 3: Robot mode anyway, maybe that's what I should do, so
Speaker 3: it's not so strange. Mine is like it was pre
Speaker 3: set to kind of very conversational and like human like,
Speaker 3: and it's disturbing. I don't know if ROC has those
Speaker 3: options it has on the screen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, huh yeah, yeah, I mean obviously you can do man,
Speaker 2: woman whatever.
Speaker 1: Ask it what its pronouns are anyway, So Craig writes,
Speaker 1: I just told it that my favorite radio show.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Craig began a new slogan starve the uh oh wait
Speaker 1: a minute, wait a minute minute, Oh okay, that's just
Speaker 1: a misprint. A new slogan starve the lazy. And I
Speaker 1: asked it what it thought about that response. Short answer,
Speaker 1: it's a blunt, polarizing frame. High signal debase, high collateral risk.
Speaker 1: Here are some more key points. It defines a moral divide.
Speaker 1: Lazy is undefined. That vagueness invites false positives. It shifts
Speaker 1: debate from policy design to character judgment. That narrows your coalition.
Speaker 1: That's clever. It underestimates screening costs distinguishing eyebel but eight
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, able but idle from unable is administratively hard
Speaker 1: and error prone, and it creates headline risk, easy to
Speaker 1: caricature as anti poor rather than anti work. Now, as
Speaker 1: a political consultancy goes, that is pretty good, I think unintentionally,
Speaker 1: and it took a second for this to click in
Speaker 1: my head.
Speaker 2: But it also highlights how.
Speaker 1: The default or the assumptions have been the opposite that
Speaker 1: we have gone so far toward. If you say you
Speaker 1: need these benefits, we can't call you lazy. We need
Speaker 1: to assume the opposite of what this computer says, we're
Speaker 1: suggesting that distinguishing able but idle from unable is administratively
Speaker 1: hard and error prone. Therefore we won't do it. We'll
Speaker 1: just give the handouts to everybody who can fog a
Speaker 1: mirror and fills out the form, which is enormously expensive
Speaker 1: and undermines some of the most vital moral foundations that
Speaker 1: human and kinds have, including you will take care of
Speaker 1: yourself in yours unless you are seriously unable.
Speaker 3: I would agree with that, but clearly the culture has
Speaker 3: been for many many years.
Speaker 2: What the groc there just.
Speaker 3: Repeated, so it is picked up on what our zeitgeist
Speaker 3: is that we don't ask questions about you know, your
Speaker 3: lifestyle or your effort.
Speaker 2: We just assume that if you say you need up food,
Speaker 2: you need food.
Speaker 3: So we'll take money from this other person that went
Speaker 3: to work and give it to you because we're just
Speaker 3: going to assume that you have made good choices in
Speaker 3: your life and are trying your best right right, So
Speaker 3: it creates headline risk. O.
Speaker 2: There, we did that.
Speaker 1: If the goal is work incentives, here's some better framing.
Speaker 1: Reward work, protect the vulnerable. Reward work, but protect the vulnerable.
Speaker 1: It's not bad I still like starve the lazy better. Oh,
Speaker 1: please help first require progress That one sucks. Policy levers
Speaker 1: that match that pair work requirements with supports childcare, transport, stipends,
Speaker 1: job placement, short training.
Speaker 2: That's interesting.
Speaker 1: It's in favor of work requirements, use earning subsidies over
Speaker 1: cliffs ei TC style wage boost Gradual phase outs that
Speaker 1: is actually really really good if you're not familiar with
Speaker 1: the idea of the welfare cliff. If you get a
Speaker 1: certain amount in welfare, and if you dare try to
Speaker 1: improve your life by getting a job that earns, say
Speaker 1: three quarters of your welfare payments, society cuts off your
Speaker 1: welfare payments.
Speaker 2: And you'll have a net loss.
Speaker 1: You've just diminished your life by doing the right thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that gradual phase outs is a great idea.
Speaker 1: Titan fraud controls where measurable identity, income and residency verifications,
Speaker 1: periodic redeterminations, have time limits with hardship exemptions and clear
Speaker 1: appeal paths. Sanctions that a graduated and reversible upon compliance.
Speaker 1: Here's how to test it before adopting pilot in one program,
Speaker 1: pre specify metrics.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like if you were paying for a
Speaker 1: policy paper on this sort of thing, it would it
Speaker 1: would cost you a lot of money and take a
Speaker 1: lot of time.
Speaker 2: And I'm guessing it spit it out and roughly three seconds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Bottom line, the sentiment don't subsidize idleness is common.
Speaker 1: The slogan invites unavoidable blowpack. Yeah, I don't care. Blow
Speaker 1: back as hard.
Speaker 2: As you want.
Speaker 1: Use language the target's behavior and preserves dignity, while tightening incentives.
Speaker 3: You know, getting away from a gros take on it.
Speaker 3: I have long said this, as you've listened for a
Speaker 3: long time. I apologize for repeating myself. But the fact
Speaker 3: that there's no mechanism for your life choices to take
Speaker 3: a look at that drives me nuts, and it would
Speaker 3: be administratively hard. But Okay, you're out of money now,
Speaker 3: and you're legitimately out of money. Tell me about your
Speaker 3: last vacation, show me your phone. Can we walk out
Speaker 3: and check out your car?
Speaker 2: Can I look in your closet and see your clothes?
Speaker 1: See the fact that that is taboo in American politics
Speaker 1: now and practically in the culture.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't hear people saying that effort.
Speaker 3: No nobody ever says that, well, it's.
Speaker 1: Something we talk a lot about the symptoms, but there's
Speaker 1: the disease right there. And one more note, So Craig,
Speaker 1: just for fun, said one more question. On the show,
Speaker 1: they often say KFTC, what does that mean? And an
Speaker 1: answered immediately keep blanking that chicken.
Speaker 2: It's non.
Speaker 1: To TV anchor Ernie Anesto's on air Blooper, Angie adopted
Speaker 1: it for their text line and merch how.
Speaker 2: In the world did it know that? Instantly? Wow? And
Speaker 2: then this.
Speaker 1: Uh as he asked essentially about ang Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: Those guys don't pull lunches? Do they starve the lazy?
Speaker 1: As a slogan that's equal parts motivational, boot camp and
Speaker 1: bar fight starter. On one hand, I get the vibe.
Speaker 1: It's a raw called the hustle. Ditch the excuses and
Speaker 1: own your grind. In a world full of participation trophies
Speaker 1: and endless scrolling, little tough love can light a fire
Speaker 1: under folks you need it.
Speaker 2: Props to them for merching it too.
Speaker 1: Nothing says commitment like a hoodie that roasts your inner sloth.
Speaker 4: That's it, come up double, that's a humor.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's some pretty good smack. I want to curl
Speaker 3: up in the fetal position. There's more to this.
Speaker 1: We got to read the rest of this in a
Speaker 1: bit after a word from a friend said Prize Picks.
Speaker 1: I love Prize Picks flexibility. You can play five bucks
Speaker 1: if you want. You can have your flex play where
Speaker 1: if one of your picks and your picks are super easy,
Speaker 1: take seconds, you just pick more or less on at
Speaker 1: least two player stat projections. One of your picks doesn't
Speaker 1: pan out and you did the flex play, you can
Speaker 1: still get paid.
Speaker 3: We're halfway through the nf NFL season, which is big.
Speaker 3: We're just start in the NBA season. Both are great
Speaker 3: for Prize Picks in the various ways they go about it.
Speaker 3: And it's so much easier than being in some sort
Speaker 3: of fantasy league where it's like having a part time job.
Speaker 3: You can jump in and out of price picks whenever
Speaker 3: you want. You got a strong opinion and you think
Speaker 3: somebody's hot, or a team is hot, or a team
Speaker 3: is overrated or whatever, turn that into money. Download the
Speaker 3: Prize Picks app today and use the Cote Armstrong to
Speaker 3: get fifty dollars in lineups after you play the first
Speaker 3: five dollars lineup.
Speaker 2: That coat is Armstrong.
Speaker 3: Do you get fifty dollars in the lineups after you
Speaker 3: play your first five dollars lineup.
Speaker 1: Smirka's number one fantasy sports app. Downloads that don't download
Speaker 1: that Prize Picks app today, use the code Armstrong get
Speaker 1: fifty dollars in lineups after you play your first five
Speaker 1: dollars lineup Price Picks.
Speaker 2: It's good to be right.
Speaker 3: The argument with my son and then Grock laughing about it,
Speaker 3: and that's okay.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I suggest you interact with these things because they're they're
Speaker 3: here to stay and they're gonna be a big part
Speaker 3: of everybody's lives. But I'd be interested in how you
Speaker 3: react to that. If you get like I got like
Speaker 3: a chill to my bone over that some weird something
Speaker 3: happened there. But if your dog started talking, it's like.
Speaker 1: Right, the Uncanny Valley, something that's almost human troubling.
Speaker 2: We've got a lot more on the waistare.
Speaker 3: Just to finish up our conversation work, I guess our
Speaker 3: friend Craig had a conversation with Grock about the Armstrong
Speaker 3: and Getty showing.
Speaker 2: It was interesting to see what AI thinks about all this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm talking about the star of the lazy slogan.
Speaker 1: And if you didn't hear the first part of the
Speaker 1: analysis in last segment, grab the podcast Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 1: on demand. It's actually quite subtle and nuanced and interesting.
Speaker 1: On the one hand, I get the vibe. It's raw,
Speaker 1: called a hustle, ditch your own excuses and own your
Speaker 1: own grind. It's hipster terminology is disturbing to me. The
Speaker 1: fact that it's language so up to date. Anyway, in
Speaker 1: a world full of participant patient trophies and endless scrolling,
Speaker 1: a little tough love can light a fire under folks
Speaker 1: who need it.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: That said, it's got that edge that might overlook the
Speaker 1: gray areas mental health struggles, economic traps are just playing
Speaker 1: bad luck.
Speaker 2: It isn't laziness at all. True. That's absolutely true.
Speaker 1: But here's what I object to, mister Rock, and that
Speaker 1: is that the entire discussion in our society has been
Speaker 1: pegged at the opposite end of the spectrum for a
Speaker 1: very long time. That you can't for a second assign
Speaker 1: any responsibility to the individual who has got their hand
Speaker 1: out wanting taxpayer money. Yeah, and so the subtleties that
Speaker 1: suggest are absolutely true. But why is it that the
Speaker 1: left gets to traffic only in slogans, only in greeting
Speaker 1: card rhetoric, and then the right has to respond as
Speaker 1: adults with with you know, fleshed out policies that include
Speaker 1: the gray areas.
Speaker 3: It's a tough situation to be and it doesn't seem
Speaker 3: to work very well with a lot of crowds, just
Speaker 3: because you don't get credit for saying, of course, there
Speaker 3: are people who are mentally ill, who can't feed themselves,
Speaker 3: or you know, they get a bad break that would
Speaker 3: have brought any of us down, or whatever course that exists.
Speaker 3: And we are a big enough, rich enough country to
Speaker 3: help those people out. But are you gonna pretend that
Speaker 3: you haven't known people in your life that make bad
Speaker 3: decision after bad decision, or take nicer vacations than you,
Speaker 3: or buy a new car every couple of years, and
Speaker 3: you don't, And then they get to plead I need.
Speaker 2: Help at some point like that.
Speaker 3: I've known lots of people like that, including myself when
Speaker 3: I was younger. I mean, I never looked for government help,
Speaker 3: but I made bad financial decisions that were completely my
Speaker 3: fault and.
Speaker 1: In the gro thing, which instantaneously answered some fairly obscure
Speaker 1: trivia questions about the show through whatever vood who it uses.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 1: It didn't take a note the five thousand times I
Speaker 1: have said, people who are truly needy mentally physically handicapped,
Speaker 1: they can't get out and earn. It is my delight
Speaker 1: that my taxpayer, of my tax money, helps those poor,
Speaker 1: unfortunate souls. How many times have I said that, what
Speaker 1: now you get no credit from? But see this fits
Speaker 1: in with the politics of today. After the elections of yesterday,
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green was on the view We're going to
Speaker 1: play clips of that later. She's carving out kind of
Speaker 1: this new Republican. I was going to say conservative, but
Speaker 1: that's all right, this new Republican we need to help
Speaker 1: the downtrodden crowd. Trump is out today saying the shutdown
Speaker 1: is what cost Republicans elections last night. He's clearly leaning
Speaker 1: toward extend the Obama subsidies. So there's there's way more movement.
Speaker 1: Democrats have always been this way, and now on the
Speaker 1: Republican side toward assume everybody needs it. Everybody's doing their
Speaker 1: best they're getting screwed by the system or life and
Speaker 1: they need a more wealth less redistribution, and or it's
Speaker 1: just too difficult to explain why I'm not going to
Speaker 1: give you something that you really really want. Giving you
Speaker 1: what you really really want is way easier, especially when
Speaker 1: we're not constrained by the amount of tax money we
Speaker 1: take in.
Speaker 3: We can spend whatever we want. Joe Getty quoting the
Speaker 3: Spice Girls in a political sense.
Speaker 2: Interesting. We'll hear a little very eclectic.
Speaker 3: We'll hear a little from the communist mayor's speech and
Speaker 3: other stuff on the way.
Speaker 2: Some of that analysis is good Armstrong and Getty. So,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four
Speaker 2: words for you. Turn the volume up.
Speaker 3: As I've said before, the only times I've heard roarers
Speaker 3: like that Obama, Bernie Trump. I mean, that's an enthusiastic
Speaker 3: crime and college basketball and football. I mean, that's an
Speaker 3: enthusiast that's not just the yay, we're on your side mostly,
Speaker 3: but it could be somebody else and we'd be just
Speaker 3: as excited. We just need somebody. No, this is that's
Speaker 3: that's the that's the sound of a movement, right, which
Speaker 3: is a people who mentioned were What's interesting in that
Speaker 3: this was we predicted this. This was not a hard
Speaker 3: prediction that when he won he was really gonna unleash.
Speaker 2: And why wouldn't you?
Speaker 3: You won by what he won, by twenty five points
Speaker 3: or whatever, that's a pretty solid indication that your style
Speaker 3: is hot.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 3: Here's Van Jones on CNN with his analysis. Van Jones,
Speaker 3: who's a Democratic operative analyst on CNN with his take
Speaker 3: on last night.
Speaker 5: That's speech appeal to some, but I think he missed
Speaker 5: an opportunity. I think the mom Donnie that we saw
Speaker 5: in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm,
Speaker 5: who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing,
Speaker 5: was not present in that speech. And I think that
Speaker 5: Mom Donnie is the one you need to hear from tonight.
Speaker 5: There are a lot of people trying to figure out
Speaker 5: can I get on this train with him or not?
Speaker 5: Is he going to include me?
Speaker 2: Is he going is he going.
Speaker 5: To be more of a class warrior even in office.
Speaker 5: I think he missed a chance tonight to open up
Speaker 5: and bring more people into the tent.
Speaker 2: I think its tone was sharp.
Speaker 5: I think he was using the microphone in a way
Speaker 5: that he was almost yelling. And that's not the mom
Speaker 5: dining that we've seen on TikTok and the great interviews and.
Speaker 2: Stuff like that.
Speaker 5: So I felt like there was a little bit of
Speaker 5: a character switch here where the warm, open embracing guy
Speaker 5: that's close to working people was not on stage night,
Speaker 5: and there was some other voice on stage.
Speaker 2: That's it. He's very young.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good, that's you know what's funny about that?
Speaker 3: Van Jones is a super smart guy and his mate
Speaker 3: is living in politics. Is that you think that that
Speaker 3: was like a mistake or missed opportunity or the real
Speaker 3: guy was the guy who ran the guy last night?
Speaker 3: Given the speech is some sort of phony put on?
Speaker 3: What on today's Armstrong.
Speaker 1: And Getty showed Joe Getty really missed an opportunity to
Speaker 1: come off as a liberal. No, he had no intention
Speaker 1: on coming off as a liberal. That would be a lie.
Speaker 2: Mom.
Speaker 1: Donnie was being honest. Van poor Van who I can't
Speaker 1: I like him. I disagree with him on you know,
Speaker 1: three quarters of stuff, but I think he's a decent
Speaker 1: enough guy. What we heard there was a man who
Speaker 1: was desperately hoping that the Islamist Marxist was not an
Speaker 1: Islamic Marxist.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 1: He was desperately hoping that he would show his true colors,
Speaker 1: which are a moderate man of the left who is
Speaker 1: just rallying the kids with some rhetoric. No, Van, No,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to disappoint you. He's precisely what he said.
Speaker 3: He is, which is basically Scott Jennings take So he's
Speaker 3: the one conservative they have on the panel of nine
Speaker 3: to get punched every night.
Speaker 2: Retorted right, And I love this about Scott Jennings.
Speaker 1: He is not your old school conservative like on Meet
Speaker 1: the Press or really up until fairly recently on CNN
Speaker 1: or anywhere else, who's like kind of I'm sorry, I'm conservative,
Speaker 1: and I just really want to get along with you
Speaker 1: lefty people. So I'm gonna sort of hint at what
Speaker 1: I think, but I'm I'm sorry for taking your time.
Speaker 2: No, Scott Jennings is proud of his conservatism. I love
Speaker 2: that about So.
Speaker 3: They were having a back and forth, he and Van
Speaker 3: Jones over what mom Donnie's speech meant last night, and
Speaker 3: here's Jennings, Oh.
Speaker 6: Are you saying he didn't He wasn't the unifying voice
Speaker 6: of a generation that you predicted mere moments ago acts,
Speaker 6: Where was the man that you predicted would.
Speaker 2: Not slice and dice dealer. Look, guys.
Speaker 6: He started his speech by quoting Eugene Debs, who ran
Speaker 6: for President of the United States five times as the
Speaker 6: Socialist Party of America candidate.
Speaker 2: He went after everybody that he thinks is a problem.
Speaker 6: People who own things, people who have businesses. He said
Speaker 6: an interesting quote, no problem too large for government to.
Speaker 2: Solve or too small in part.
Speaker 6: And so when you think of the world that way,
Speaker 6: that every problem, no matter how small or how large,
Speaker 6: is something for government to do.
Speaker 2: Let me just decipher this for you.
Speaker 6: Tax increases as far as the eye can see, which
Speaker 6: means the people who need to provide jobs to the
Speaker 6: young people that you say need jobs are going to
Speaker 6: flee as quickly as they possibly can. I think this
Speaker 6: was a divisive speech. And he clearly sees the world
Speaker 6: in terms of the people who are oppressing you and
Speaker 6: the oppressed, and he said the oppressed are.
Speaker 1: Now in city Hall.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am glad.
Speaker 1: Jennings highlighted that bit about there's no problem too large
Speaker 1: or too small for government to fix.
Speaker 2: That is a.
Speaker 1: Horrific statement among as many it's tough to pick a favorite.
Speaker 2: But that's sick.
Speaker 3: Well, big chunk of the country believes that something ain't right,
Speaker 3: it's a government's job to fix it, not me, my family,
Speaker 3: a private sector.
Speaker 2: In any way, my town, my county, my state.
Speaker 1: Although granted he's representing a city, but essentially government should
Speaker 1: solve every problem.
Speaker 2: Which if you can sell people on that.
Speaker 1: Then if you have a lust for socialism or Marxism
Speaker 1: in which the government controls everything, that is a great,
Speaker 1: great thing to sell people on.
Speaker 2: In fact, it's completely necessary.
Speaker 1: You've got to destroy the nation of the notion of
Speaker 1: limited government and of liberty or you're not going to
Speaker 1: get over.
Speaker 2: My concern is.
Speaker 3: When I see the pushback against socialist communists, it's always
Speaker 3: kind of a laughing oh please, as opposed to making
Speaker 3: the argument right, the old police.
Speaker 2: Is getten lazy. Yeah, they're black on making the argument.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the old please isn't working with the young crowd
Speaker 3: who hasn't heard the argument on why socialism doesn't work.
Speaker 3: And they're here in my rent's going to be a
Speaker 3: I get to ride the bus for free, I get
Speaker 3: to eat for free, I get to go to school
Speaker 3: for free, and they aren't here any pushed back on
Speaker 3: there's no such thing as free Where do you think
Speaker 3: the money comes from?
Speaker 2: YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 3: Just kind of an older crowd laughing, Oh that's ridiculous,
Speaker 3: young person.
Speaker 2: Well, I ain't gonna work. You gotta make the argument.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So big black SUVs are now lined up across
Speaker 1: the George Washington Bridge into New Jersey and head for
Speaker 1: a Connecticut or wherever. We'll have to see. Well, there's there.
Speaker 1: I need to admit there are limits to what he
Speaker 1: can actually accomplish in terms of moving toward his socialist
Speaker 1: goals because the limits of the state government and they
Speaker 1: have to approve certain stuff, and there's a fifty one
Speaker 1: person city council, etcetera.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 2: But he'll be able to get pretty far in that direction.
Speaker 1: And to what extent the job creators for flee and
Speaker 1: the rich people who are the most mobile people in
Speaker 1: the world will go to Florida or wherever remains to
Speaker 1: be seen. I will predict two with virtual certainty. Number One,
Speaker 1: you will see a continuing rise in crime in New
Speaker 1: York City as the support for the police. Waynes here's
Speaker 1: a guy who has pitched defund the police in similar
Speaker 1: notions that the police are an anti queer force for
Speaker 1: racism or whatever the hell he said for his entire
Speaker 1: very very short career. And the other thing is, and
Speaker 1: you remember, in the closing days of his campaign, he
Speaker 1: went hardcore at so called Islamophobia, really trying to whip
Speaker 1: up the Muslim vote in New York City. I just
Speaker 1: read yesterday there has been a huge increase in so
Speaker 1: called hate crimes in New York City. Eighty eight percent
Speaker 1: of the religion oriented hate crimes in New York City
Speaker 1: eighty eight percent or against Jews. So if every single
Speaker 1: one of the other ones was against muslim which is
Speaker 1: not the case, it would be nine to one ish.
Speaker 1: So nine to one anti Semitism at the very very
Speaker 1: very very very least is a bigger problem than so
Speaker 1: called Islamophobia. And I could redo my screed. Why does
Speaker 1: one sound like a political philosophy anti Semitism, and the
Speaker 1: other one sounds like a disease Islamophobia? Like it's an
Speaker 1: irrational fear, there's something wrong with you. So being against
Speaker 1: the Jews is rational, Being against Muslims is irrational. Do
Speaker 1: you see how the left manipulates language? Anyway, I am
Speaker 1: predicting something like blasphemy laws in New York City. Mamdanni
Speaker 1: will claim that rampant anti Islam feeling justifies punishing London style,
Speaker 1: great Britain style. Don't get me starting like a jabber
Speaker 1: all day about this passing laws against inciting hate or discomfort.
Speaker 2: He might be again pushing for that tomorrow. Interesting.
Speaker 3: So then on the economic side, him being a socialist,
Speaker 3: the fact that he came out there and you know,
Speaker 3: some people like Van Jones, thinking he was going to
Speaker 3: moderate after running as a socialist, he doubled down on it.
Speaker 3: His opening line quoting Eugene Debs, the most successful socialist
Speaker 3: presidential candidate in US history. Jene Debs actually got six
Speaker 3: percent of the vote in nineteen twelve as a presidential candidate,
Speaker 3: and he got quoted last night by young mom. Dammy,
Speaker 3: that's something nice.
Speaker 2: Quick word from our friends that simply save home security.
Speaker 2: It is amazing.
Speaker 1: When you think of security, you probably think of alarm
Speaker 1: that goes off in a house after somebody smashes in
Speaker 1: the windows.
Speaker 2: That's too little and too late. Simply save is different.
Speaker 1: It's the only home security I think you can call
Speaker 1: real security, because simply safe watches outside your home and
Speaker 1: takes action before a criminal breaks in with the AI
Speaker 1: cameras and simply saves live agents. They immediately let those
Speaker 1: scumbags know they're on camera and if they don't leave,
Speaker 1: the police will be dispatched.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is pretty darn cool. I have Simply Safe myself.
Speaker 3: I got the cameras, I got the censors, I got
Speaker 3: all that And it's easy to set up. You can
Speaker 3: set it up yourself. If you need help, they'll they'll
Speaker 3: get you the help if you want Simply Safe. Simple
Speaker 3: to set up, it is simple to use, it's simple
Speaker 3: to get out of if you want. You're not locked
Speaker 3: into a contract. That don't have long term contracts. It's
Speaker 3: easy to return if you don't like it with the
Speaker 3: sixty day money back guarantee.
Speaker 2: So why wouldn't you try it?
Speaker 1: And we're thrilled that you good people can get access
Speaker 1: early access to the Black Friday sale Simply Safe. Go

Speaker 1: Simply safe dot com, slash armstrong, Simply safe dot com,
Speaker 1: slash armstrong.
Speaker 2: There's no safe like to have a lead.
Speaker 3: So pretty important oral arguments going on in front of
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court today as they're arguing about whether or
Speaker 3: not President Trump has the power to do all this
Speaker 3: tariff stuff he's been doing since he took office. He
Speaker 3: might not, Probably shouldn't. One guy shouldn't be able to
Speaker 3: do this. Just seems crazy that any one guy ever
Speaker 3: be able to do that. But to agree, we have
Speaker 3: some of the audio I think of that and some
Speaker 3: early indications of where the conservatives are on this topic,
Speaker 3: so we can bring you that among other things on
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here.
Speaker 3: There are many important issues today to discuss. I think
Speaker 3: toward the top of the list is this Tom Brady's
Speaker 3: cloned dog.
Speaker 7: Here you go, the revelation from Tom Brady about his
Speaker 7: family pet. The former NFL star says his new dog, Juni,
Speaker 7: is a clone of his previous dog, Lua, who died
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty three. Brady says he worked with a
Speaker 7: biotech company he has invested in to clone his beloved
Speaker 7: pit bull mix using a blood sample collected while Lua
Speaker 7: was alive.
Speaker 2: First of all, here.
Speaker 1: It's a publicity stunt for this company he's invested in place.
Speaker 3: Your beloved family dog was a pit bull mix. You're
Speaker 3: freaking Tom Brady, what are you doing getting pit bull
Speaker 3: mixes for the family dog?
Speaker 2: An?
Speaker 3: That was the last straw I Giselle dumped him. Could
Speaker 3: be any who, Katie, you love your dog, Joe loves
Speaker 3: his dog. Michael's got cat? Yeah? Hey, hey what that
Speaker 3: was speciesist?
Speaker 2: Michael.
Speaker 1: I'm standing up for you. I'm not going to have this,
Speaker 1: this casual derision of your lifestyle choices.
Speaker 2: Not allowed to say Michael has cats. It was the
Speaker 2: way you said it. I didn't notice it. Michael less cats.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the need to clone our
Speaker 3: dog because we like the current one so much?
Speaker 1: Now, no evener than idiotic.
Speaker 3: I thought you might be a yes on that, Katie,
Speaker 3: now because it's not the same dog. Ah, you are
Speaker 3: well read enough on this topic to realize, yes, it
Speaker 3: is not the same dog. It will not behave the
Speaker 3: same It's well, it's not the same dog, period. You
Speaker 3: don't even really need anything after that. It's not the
Speaker 3: same dog, but it's.
Speaker 1: A particular source of self indulgent more money than sense madness.
Speaker 1: And that's the one chink in the armor of my
Speaker 1: hero Javier and Milai.
Speaker 3: Didn't he clone his dog five, he's got the city,
Speaker 3: he had a favorite dog, and he's got five of
Speaker 3: exactly the same and no kids. So that is a
Speaker 3: weird thing about it. But anyway, I don't want to
Speaker 3: get a hung up on that any port in a storm.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and Tom Brady's invested in this corporation that
Speaker 3: will do it. And from what I understand, I have
Speaker 3: no idea how true this is, particularly among the wealthy.
Speaker 3: Cloning their beloved Fufu who passed away is a thing
Speaker 3: because you're stupid and think it's going to be the
Speaker 3: same dog.
Speaker 2: It's a weird sort.
Speaker 1: Of conceit to think that Fufu was just so special.
Speaker 1: She was the most special dog ever. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: got to say that. Because I'm a rich person, I
Speaker 1: can't say, yeah.
Speaker 2: The dogs are great. The dog's a dog. The next
Speaker 2: one will be as good as this one. From them,
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no, yeah, go say have
Speaker 2: another dog hit the shelter. That's a good mix. There's
Speaker 2: plenty of them, no kidding, yeah, no kiddingy.
Speaker 1: Do you serve a three hundred and fifty dollars bottle
Speaker 1: of wine when there are plenty of seventy five dollars
Speaker 1: bottles that everybody's good. It's the same answer to a
Speaker 1: different question to show showing how rich you.
Speaker 2: Are, gotcha.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, no kidding, Particularly in Tom Brady's case, you
Speaker 3: need to put bull mix.
Speaker 2: Go to your local shelter.
Speaker 3: Maybe not where he lives, but drive a little further
Speaker 3: outside of town from where you live and go to
Speaker 3: a shelter.
Speaker 2: There are lots of pit bull mixes, oh plenty to
Speaker 2: choose from.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's part of the way I stay down
Speaker 1: on earth is though I am fabulously wealthy, I generally
Speaker 1: drink a prison toilet pruno I've got well, I've got
Speaker 1: it my own, you know pruno toilet that I use.
Speaker 1: We don't use it for anything but action of my
Speaker 1: prison style wine.
Speaker 2: It's not multi It keeps me connected to you common people.
Speaker 2: You know. That reminds me. You're a I'm choking.
Speaker 3: You're a fan of speaking of being fancy, you're a
Speaker 3: fan of the bidet. Oh yes, I am, and uh
Speaker 3: I the house I moved into it has a bidet
Speaker 3: in my bathroom, and I have an actual bidet. You're
Speaker 3: like the seat of the day seat on top of
Speaker 3: your toilet. That one Okay, of a day is a
Speaker 3: separate thing, right, yeah? Yeah, formally speaking, I stayed in
Speaker 3: a European hotel and it had the separate thing, and
Speaker 3: I never used it, and you gotta hop on over
Speaker 3: to use it. It's ridiculous. But I got the bidet
Speaker 3: thing that this is. Isn't that what most people get
Speaker 3: for a Yeah? What's exactly the attachment? The attachment? Okay,
Speaker 3: but I've never used it, and I just have never
Speaker 3: even thought about figuring. There's no instruction manual, and I
Speaker 3: don't want you know, uh, water up my you hoo
Speaker 3: if I if I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 4: Stream electric lyching, but I'm not gonna use your money
Speaker 4: if the electricity burns me, your blinds me?
Speaker 2: Come on line? Here is that Jack's got a you? Who?
Speaker 2: That was new?
Speaker 3: I like joke comparing middays to electricity. Yeah, in terms
Speaker 3: of a look.
Speaker 1: At you, what do you think it's gonna blast you
Speaker 1: junk off or something. I'm gonna try you a coward.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid I'll like it. You won't be able to
Speaker 1: get me out of there. Yeah, So I don't know,
Speaker 1: I really I just don't know how to use it.
Speaker 1: And I don't know who I would ask? Can you
Speaker 1: come into my toilet and show me how to use this?
Speaker 1: Ask you ask Groc right, and have that record preserved forever.
Speaker 1: But what what's your hesitance here to like ask the
Speaker 1: internet or what brand is it? There's a number of
Speaker 1: knobs and buttons, and I just don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 3: You take a picture of it, send it to GROC
Speaker 3: and say how do I use this thing? And I'm
Speaker 3: flipping sixty years old. I've lived my whole life without one,
Speaker 3: and it's been fine. Although you say it's a.
Speaker 4: Damn pin of shilling, I'm not user. Not to hear
Speaker 4: my section it's new fanvored. I've lived sixty years old,
Speaker 4: as ab Shasta are telling about it.
Speaker 2: I not use no new fangle drugs.
Speaker 3: Game now comparing penicillin to a bidang, which is apt comparison,
Speaker 3: of course, A right?
Speaker 2: Where were we?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: So important stuff to discuss? Is it just I've power
Speaker 3: washed many things in my life. I used to when
Speaker 3: I worked at the feed lot, I was regularly power
Speaker 3: washing things. Is not basically what you're doing. You're power
Speaker 3: washing your undercarriage right with the uh the water pressure
Speaker 3: appropriately dialed back. You're not taking the paint off the
Speaker 3: quarter panel and an old Chrysler.
Speaker 1: You're you're indeed just cleansing your your nether regions. Yes,
Speaker 1: and again, what if I like it so much you
Speaker 1: can't get me out of there?
Speaker 2: Dad? We're hungry. I don't care. I am staying here.
Speaker 2: As long as we got water pressure, I'm staying in here. Okay.
