WEBVTT - Do You Think It'll Blast Your Junk Off?! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.640 Armstrong and Getty, I know he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.200 CNN has published a profile and Zron Mamdanni's wife, so 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.960 that news lady, he's married, and even worse news Cuomo 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:36.680 isn't that should be considered in the fact that Mam 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.959 Donnie won who he ran against. But the fact though, yeah, 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.680 young people call themselves socialists in New York is a problem. 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.560 We'll talk more about that election and hear a little 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.479 more from his speech in some of the analysis a 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:50.720 little bit later this hour. 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:53.920 Yeah, indeed, I got a lot of good stuff and 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.639 not the usual blah blah blah about the election you'll 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.480 get in other places. Not the usual blah blah blah, 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.880 completely different blah blah blah, unusual blah blah blah. 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.679 So got into a conversation with Groc yesterday. 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.880 Again, I do on a fairly regular basis in my 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.760 if you drive a Tesla, Groc is in there. 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.240 And you're really gravitating. Oh I see, I was just 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.480 going to say you're gravitating toward Groc. But part of 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.160 its convenience as opposed to other Yeah. 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.240 I've got I have chat GPT on my phone. I 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.560 have chat GPT, Grock, and Claude. I don't know why 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.920 I chose those three. There are others out there, and 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.320 I usually compare and contrast them to see what kind 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.000 of answers they would get. For instance, last night, just 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.240 give you to an inkling or just an insight into 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:42.160 my incredibly fascinating life. Last night I was doing research 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.520 on this guy I had never heard of until I 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:55.000 was taking in a Jonah Goldberg podcast the other day 0:01:55.000 --> 0:02:01.120 and when she was talking about this guy, Henry George. 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.800 Are you familiar with Henry George? Maybe you are from 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.080 in a political science major. I don't know. Vaguely familiar, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.480 kind of interesting on a day after an election. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.360 Henry George was like the not like. 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:18.720 He was the most influential political thinker of the last 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:23.280 half of the eighteen hundreds. He wrote a book about it, 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.280 called Progress and Poverty. It was the number two selling 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.440 book in the world behind the Bible. Georgism was a 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.680 movement all around the world. He was huge. He would 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.400 go to town to town and draw in tens of 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.680 thousands of people to come hear him speak about his 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.200 particular political ideas and everything like that. And for you know, 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.079 the way history works, sometimes some people just disappear from 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.079 history and you never hear his name, and nobody ever 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:46.720 talks about him. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.280 But he's like the biggest thing. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.919 I've already forgotten his first name. Henry said, yes, Henry George. 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.760 And so anyway, getting maybe I'll talk about that more later, 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.920 but getting back to AI, I asked chat, GBT, Claude 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:03.200 and grok Uh, you know, tell me a little bit 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.000 about Henry George and how popular he was, and they 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.160 all had a little bit different information. They were all good, 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:13.160 found it interesting, different topic. So we're writing in the 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.760 truck yesterday. God, what was the topic. It doesn't even 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.440 really matter what the topic was that I brought up 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.800 to groc and asked it a question, and so she 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:29.880 started to answer, and immediately Henry jumped in. He said, 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.560 that's not right, that doesn't make any sense. I said, 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.359 you interrupted her, and he said that it's not her, 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.800 it's a computer. And I said, and I said, you 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.440 keep interrupting her, and I want to hear what her 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.440 answer is. And he kept saying, she's not her anyway, 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.600 I said to Groc, I said, I said, I'm sorry 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.280 he interrupted, and she said, that's okay, it happens anyway, 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:54.200 and then she finishes her answer so freaking weird, and 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.760 Henry and I both looked at each other wide. I'd like, ah, 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.520 something just happened that is strange and frightening and needs 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:02.520 to be recognized. 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.080 I can't open the hatch, Dave, or whatever the hell 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:07.080 the computer says. 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:08.600 In two thousand and one of Space. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.920 My son and I getting into an argument about him 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:15.320 interrupting her in quotes, and she laughs, is, yeah, don't worry, 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:22.640 it happens anyway. As I was saying, what what now? 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.520 See, Yeah, it's funny. Humanity's probably divided into roughly, I 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.680 don't know, a thirds or whatever, A third don't care, 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.479 a third thing that's great, it's charming, and third of 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:36.760 us like are like, this is a con This is 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.520 attempting to get in my good graces for a reason. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:41.760 What is that reason? 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.520 To take over the world and drain our vital fluids 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:47.640 and take our organs. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.360 And the fact that she, like probably you know, had 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.560 a sense of what was going on there that it 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:59.599 was something that a laugh was a perfectly normal human 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.799 response up to a father and a teenage son arguing 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.000 about something. Yeah, that was silly. It was a silly topic. 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:15.360 Yeah. Is just this freaking disturbing? Yeah? Odd times. 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.760 Yeah, so speaking of that sort of thing, this is 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.440 interesting on several different levels. Got this note from Craig, 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.760 the healthcare guru who we correspond with semi frequently in 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:32.039 real life, and he says, Guys, I'm using GPT in 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.200 the robot mode. We talked about this yesterday. You can 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.680 assign it different personalities. So sometimes it's like the super 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.799 cheer leady friend in a way that is off putting 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.640 in weird, and or it can be like robot mode, 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:44.600 just very straightforward. 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:45.800 And he was using. 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.159 Robot mode anyway, maybe that's what I should do, so 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.920 it's not so strange. Mine is like it was pre 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:56.560 set to kind of very conversational and like human like, 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.600 and it's disturbing. I don't know if ROC has those 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.760 options it has on the screen. 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.039 Yeah, huh yeah, yeah, I mean obviously you can do man, 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:05.760 woman whatever. 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:11.400 Ask it what its pronouns are anyway, So Craig writes, 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.279 I just told it that my favorite radio show. 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:13.599 Thank you. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.320 Craig began a new slogan starve the uh oh wait 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.000 a minute, wait a minute minute, Oh okay, that's just 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.320 a misprint. A new slogan starve the lazy. And I 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.240 asked it what it thought about that response. Short answer, 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:31.680 it's a blunt, polarizing frame. High signal debase, high collateral risk. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.920 Here are some more key points. It defines a moral divide. 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:41.039 Lazy is undefined. That vagueness invites false positives. It shifts 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:45.279 debate from policy design to character judgment. That narrows your coalition. 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:51.320 That's clever. It underestimates screening costs distinguishing eyebel but eight 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:56.480 I'm sorry, able but idle from unable is administratively hard 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.400 and error prone, and it creates headline risk, easy to 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:06.080 caricature as anti poor rather than anti work. Now, as 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:14.680 a political consultancy goes, that is pretty good, I think unintentionally, 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.080 and it took a second for this to click in 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:17.559 my head. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.760 But it also highlights how. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:26.840 The default or the assumptions have been the opposite that 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.640 we have gone so far toward. If you say you 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:35.000 need these benefits, we can't call you lazy. We need 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.720 to assume the opposite of what this computer says, we're 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:45.160 suggesting that distinguishing able but idle from unable is administratively 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.160 hard and error prone. Therefore we won't do it. We'll 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.560 just give the handouts to everybody who can fog a 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.560 mirror and fills out the form, which is enormously expensive 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:59.720 and undermines some of the most vital moral foundations that 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.800 human and kinds have, including you will take care of 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.400 yourself in yours unless you are seriously unable. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.440 I would agree with that, but clearly the culture has 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:10.680 been for many many years. 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.280 What the groc there just. 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:18.360 Repeated, so it is picked up on what our zeitgeist 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.000 is that we don't ask questions about you know, your 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.360 lifestyle or your effort. 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.320 We just assume that if you say you need up food, 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:24.880 you need food. 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.040 So we'll take money from this other person that went 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.160 to work and give it to you because we're just 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.320 going to assume that you have made good choices in 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:36.199 your life and are trying your best right right, So 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:37.800 it creates headline risk. O. 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:38.679 There, we did that. 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.720 If the goal is work incentives, here's some better framing. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:51.520 Reward work, protect the vulnerable. Reward work, but protect the vulnerable. 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:57.320 It's not bad I still like starve the lazy better. Oh, 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:04.880 please help first require progress That one sucks. Policy levers 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:11.000 that match that pair work requirements with supports childcare, transport, stipends, 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:12.320 job placement, short training. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:13.400 That's interesting. 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.920 It's in favor of work requirements, use earning subsidies over 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:22.040 cliffs ei TC style wage boost Gradual phase outs that 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.400 is actually really really good if you're not familiar with 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:28.439 the idea of the welfare cliff. If you get a 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.000 certain amount in welfare, and if you dare try to 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.800 improve your life by getting a job that earns, say 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:38.520 three quarters of your welfare payments, society cuts off your 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:39.760 welfare payments. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:40.480 And you'll have a net loss. 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:46.240 You've just diminished your life by doing the right thing. Yeah, 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.880 I appreciate that gradual phase outs is a great idea. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:53.640 Titan fraud controls where measurable identity, income and residency verifications, 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:58.320 periodic redeterminations, have time limits with hardship exemptions and clear 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:02.199 appeal paths. Sanctions that a graduated and reversible upon compliance. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.959 Here's how to test it before adopting pilot in one program, 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:07.840 pre specify metrics. 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:08.360 Blah blah blah. 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:12.960 I mean it's like if you were paying for a 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.480 policy paper on this sort of thing, it would it 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:17.800 would cost you a lot of money and take a 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:18.320 lot of time. 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.839 And I'm guessing it spit it out and roughly three seconds. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:25.480 Yeah, yeah. Bottom line, the sentiment don't subsidize idleness is common. 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.480 The slogan invites unavoidable blowpack. Yeah, I don't care. Blow 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:30.440 back as hard. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:30.840 As you want. 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:37.679 Use language the target's behavior and preserves dignity, while tightening incentives. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.240 You know, getting away from a gros take on it. 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.520 I have long said this, as you've listened for a 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.640 long time. I apologize for repeating myself. But the fact 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:51.400 that there's no mechanism for your life choices to take 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.160 a look at that drives me nuts, and it would 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.600 be administratively hard. But Okay, you're out of money now, 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.120 and you're legitimately out of money. Tell me about your 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:05.000 last vacation, show me your phone. Can we walk out 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:06.880 and check out your car? 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.360 Can I look in your closet and see your clothes? 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.640 See the fact that that is taboo in American politics 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.080 now and practically in the culture. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.880 I mean, I don't hear people saying that effort. 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.880 No nobody ever says that, well, it's. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:27.000 Something we talk a lot about the symptoms, but there's 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:31.400 the disease right there. And one more note, So Craig, 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.240 just for fun, said one more question. On the show, 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.439 they often say KFTC, what does that mean? And an 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.720 answered immediately keep blanking that chicken. 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:41.440 It's non. 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:45.440 To TV anchor Ernie Anesto's on air Blooper, Angie adopted 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.679 it for their text line and merch how. 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:51.840 In the world did it know that? Instantly? Wow? And 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:52.280 then this. 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:59.080 Uh as he asked essentially about ang Armstrong and Getty. 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.960 Those guys don't pull lunches? Do they starve the lazy? 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.960 As a slogan that's equal parts motivational, boot camp and 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.760 bar fight starter. On one hand, I get the vibe. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.360 It's a raw called the hustle. Ditch the excuses and 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.720 own your grind.

I want to curl 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.200 up in the fetal position. There's more to this. 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:34.520 We got to read the rest of this in a 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.920 bit after a word from a friend said Prize Picks. 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.960 I love Prize Picks flexibility.

Both are great 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.280 for Prize Picks in the various ways they go about it. 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.200 And it's so much easier than being in some sort 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.760 of fantasy league where it's like having a part time job. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.559 You can jump in and out of price picks whenever 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.360 you want.

But I'd be interested in how you 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.480 react to that. If you get like I got like 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:58.720 a chill to my bone over that some weird something 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:03.040 happened there. But if your dog started talking, it's like. 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:08.360 Right, the Uncanny Valley, something that's almost human troubling. 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.280 We've got a lot more on the waistare. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.760 Just to finish up our conversation work, I guess our 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.160 friend Craig had a conversation with Grock about the Armstrong 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:18.760 and Getty showing. 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:20.840 It was interesting to see what AI thinks about all this. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:26.680 Yeah, so I'm talking about the star of the lazy slogan. 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.280 And if you didn't hear the first part of the 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.000 analysis in last segment, grab the podcast Armstrong and Getty 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.760 on demand. It's actually quite subtle and nuanced and interesting. 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:36.800 On the one hand, I get the vibe. It's raw, 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.000 called a hustle, ditch your own excuses and own your 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:43.320 own grind. It's hipster terminology is disturbing to me. The 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.720 fact that it's language so up to date. Anyway, in 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.560 a world full of participant patient trophies and endless scrolling, 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.320 a little tough love can light a fire under folks 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:51.800 who need it. 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:52.680 Blah blah blah. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.240 That said, it's got that edge that might overlook the 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:59.280 gray areas mental health struggles, economic traps are just playing 0:14:59.360 --> 0:14:59.880 bad luck. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:04.000 It isn't laziness at all. True. That's absolutely true. 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.440 But here's what I object to, mister Rock, and that 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.760 is that the entire discussion in our society has been 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.640 pegged at the opposite end of the spectrum for a 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.920 very long time. That you can't for a second assign 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.040 any responsibility to the individual who has got their hand 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.160 out wanting taxpayer money. Yeah, and so the subtleties that 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.600 suggest are absolutely true. But why is it that the 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:35.280 left gets to traffic only in slogans, only in greeting 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.880 card rhetoric, and then the right has to respond as 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:42.080 adults with with you know, fleshed out policies that include 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:43.000 the gray areas. 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.080 It's a tough situation to be and it doesn't seem 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.600 to work very well with a lot of crowds, just 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.800 because you don't get credit for saying, of course, there 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:56.280 are people who are mentally ill, who can't feed themselves, 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.360 or you know, they get a bad break that would 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.880 have brought any of us down, or whatever course that exists. 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.360 And we are a big enough, rich enough country to 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:07.360 help those people out. But are you gonna pretend that 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.640 you haven't known people in your life that make bad 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.640 decision after bad decision, or take nicer vacations than you, 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.960 or buy a new car every couple of years, and 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:23.040 you don't, And then they get to plead I need. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.360 Help at some point like that. 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.720 I've known lots of people like that, including myself when 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.680 I was younger. I mean, I never looked for government help, 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.440 but I made bad financial decisions that were completely my 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:34.960 fault and. 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.760 In the gro thing, which instantaneously answered some fairly obscure 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:43.080 trivia questions about the show through whatever vood who it uses. 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:44.760 It. 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.720 It didn't take a note the five thousand times I 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:53.680 have said, people who are truly needy mentally physically handicapped, 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.280 they can't get out and earn. It is my delight 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.920 that my taxpayer, of my tax money, helps those poor, 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:05.560 unfortunate souls. How many times have I said that, what 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.640 now you get no credit from? But see this fits 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.440 in with the politics of today. After the elections of yesterday, 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.240 Marjorie Taylor Green was on the view We're going to 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.159 play clips of that later. She's carving out kind of 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.560 this new Republican. I was going to say conservative, but 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.480 that's all right, this new Republican we need to help 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:26.200 the downtrodden crowd. Trump is out today saying the shutdown 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.879 is what cost Republicans elections last night. He's clearly leaning 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:35.720 toward extend the Obama subsidies. So there's there's way more movement. 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:37.960 Democrats have always been this way, and now on the 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.640 Republican side toward assume everybody needs it. Everybody's doing their 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.399 best they're getting screwed by the system or life and 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:48.360 they need a more wealth less redistribution, and or it's 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.639 just too difficult to explain why I'm not going to 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.439 give you something that you really really want. Giving you 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.600 what you really really want is way easier, especially when 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.159 we're not constrained by the amount of tax money we 0:17:59.280 --> 0:17:59.679 take in. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.760 We can spend whatever we want. Joe Getty quoting the 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.520 Spice Girls in a political sense. 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:08.800 Interesting. We'll hear a little very eclectic. 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.199 We'll hear a little from the communist mayor's speech and 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:12.200 other stuff on the way. 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:16.359 Some of that analysis is good Armstrong and Getty. So, 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:22.800 Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:27.200 words for you. Turn the volume up. 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.600 As I've said before, the only times I've heard roarers 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:43.720 like that Obama, Bernie Trump. I mean, that's an enthusiastic 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.040 crime and college basketball and football. I mean, that's an 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.359 enthusiast that's not just the yay, we're on your side mostly, 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.439 but it could be somebody else and we'd be just 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.560 as excited. We just need somebody. No, this is that's 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:59.760 that's the that's the sound of a movement, right, which 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.480 is a people who mentioned were What's interesting in that 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:04.640 this was we predicted this. This was not a hard 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.360 prediction that when he won he was really gonna unleash. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:10.199 And why wouldn't you? 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.000 You won by what he won, by twenty five points 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:16.199 or whatever, that's a pretty solid indication that your style 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:16.600 is hot. 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:17.080 Right now. 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:22.600 Here's Van Jones on CNN with his analysis. Van Jones, 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:27.280 who's a Democratic operative analyst on CNN with his take 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:28.720 on last night. 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.200 That's speech appeal to some, but I think he missed 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:36.080 an opportunity. I think the mom Donnie that we saw 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.560 in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.600 who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.920 was not present in that speech. And I think that 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.399 Mom Donnie is the one you need to hear from tonight. 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:51.280 There are a lot of people trying to figure out 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:53.240 can I get on this train with him or not? 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:56.000 Is he going to include me? 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:57.840 Is he going is he going. 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.000 To be more of a class warrior even in office. 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.120 I think he missed a chance tonight to open up 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.120 and bring more people into the tent. 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.320 I think its tone was sharp. 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:11.879 I think he was using the microphone in a way 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.320 that he was almost yelling. And that's not the mom 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.520 dining that we've seen on TikTok and the great interviews and. 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:17.919 Stuff like that. 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:19.840 So I felt like there was a little bit of 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:24.680 a character switch here where the warm, open embracing guy 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.719 that's close to working people was not on stage night, 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.919 and there was some other voice on stage. 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:31.560 That's it. He's very young. 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.600 Okay, that's good, that's you know what's funny about that? 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.520 Van Jones is a super smart guy and his mate 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:40.399 is living in politics. Is that you think that that 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:45.560 was like a mistake or missed opportunity or the real 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.000 guy was the guy who ran the guy last night? 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.400 Given the speech is some sort of phony put on? 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:54.680 What on today's Armstrong. 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.199 And Getty showed Joe Getty really missed an opportunity to 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.960 come off as a liberal. No, he had no intention 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.200 on coming off as a liberal. That would be a lie. 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:04.880 Mom. 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:10.080 Donnie was being honest. Van poor Van who I can't 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.639 I like him. I disagree with him on you know, 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.119 three quarters of stuff, but I think he's a decent 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.720 enough guy. What we heard there was a man who 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:24.240 was desperately hoping that the Islamist Marxist was not an 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:25.320
