WEBVTT - He Lived for His Goals 0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:06.800 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:12.160 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty Armstrong and Jetty, 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:17.880 and he Armstrong and Jetty. 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:29.280 He was a fantastic person. He was a man who 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:30.800 are you going to watch? It's going to be a 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.120 very big thing with him. He's going to be appreciated 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:35.960 more now than he was when he was living. 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.519 I think Donald Trump called into a whole bunch of 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:44.200 different news shows yesterday when his friend Lindsey Graham died 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.360 over the weekend and he got the news and then 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:47.760 telling everybody about it. 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:52.760 Yeah, as we were discussing earlier the narrative from stupid 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:57.720 people for stupid people that Lindsey Graham, who originally opposed Trump, 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.680 later cowtowed to him and he became a sickle fan 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:06.440 and he's a hypocrite again, stupid analysis for stupid people. 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.280 How about this? Lindsey Graham thought his goals from America 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.880 and what he thought was best were so sacred to 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.520 him that he would work with whoever he needed to 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:21.080 to make them happen because he lived for those goals. 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.880 He was a highly principled guy. The last thing he 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.319 was was unprincipled, he's practical. 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.160 Yeah, he ran against Trump originally, if you don't remember, 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.120 because he thought Trump he didn't like Trump's foreign policy 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.559 at all, and he was really worried about Trump getting 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.400 the nomination and where that would take the country because 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.120 Trump was running against all these wars. Like Lindsey, Graham 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.520 was more of a hawk than me on wanting, for instance, 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.240 Iraq and Afghanistan to go on forever, it seems, but 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.200 I agreed with him on being a hawk about Iran 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.240 and Ukraine. But he was worried that everything could get 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.520 out of hand, and like you said, so when he realized, Okay, 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.400 I guess the country's going Trump's direction, or at least 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.880 the Republican Party is, I need to still be a 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.960 voice for the things that I want. So I got 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:07.120 to figure out a way to do that. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.320 And I actually saw this phrase used in one tribute 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:16.000 to him. My mom's family was from South Carolina, and 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.000 I was a small child when my grandmother first said 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.600 to me, or it could have been my mom quoting 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.960 my grandmother, that you draw more flies with honey than vinegar. 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.000 And of course that's not about drawing flies. What do 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.800 you want to want to draw. Who wants flies around them? 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:36.079 I've always wanted flies in the kitchen. There are few flies, 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.480 but not enough exactly. It's a non expression, yet it 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.440 has endured, so let's let's use it. 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:42.000 Uh. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.359 And Lindsey Graham, also of the great state of South Carolina, 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:49.120 believe that, Look, if you want to get stuff done, 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.720 you don't do it being an ass. You do it 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.919 by reaching out to people and seeing how you can 0:02:55.960 --> 0:03:00.520 work with them. So again, that whole he was a hypocrite, narrative, evil, 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.280 stupid people. Forget it, it's dumb. Anyway, I was. 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:07.000 Happy to see with the respect that he was shown 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:11.840 by all your mainstream media over the weekend. They presented 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.200 him in a very good light on your Faces the Nation, 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.840 your meets the Press, your ABC's this week, which I. 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.240 Was happy to see that we still do that. Yeah. Yeah. 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.360 And Lindsay in particular, was a real fan of working 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:28.440 across the aisle, even during these days. He and Senator Blumenthal, 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.880 about whom I have said very harsh things, and he 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.600 deserves them. They're working together on a new Russian sanctions 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.040 bill that actually had teeth. They've been trying to get 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.720 Trump to support it for ages. And it was finally 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.960 looking like it might work. And it still might work. 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.480 But yeah, he was working across the aisle till his 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:45.000 last day. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.560 I've got a good, controversial hot take from Mark Halpern 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.400 on the role of Lindsay Graham's death in the war 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:52.080 in Ukraine. 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:57.000 Counterintuitive. They don't like to enjoy a good counterintuitive. So 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.560 we have some of Lindsay's greatest hits assembly for you. 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:06.720 He was very, very funny, very eloquent, sincere. You know, 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.240 let's let's start with something quick in jazzy Michael sixty five. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.000 Mister Zuckerberg, you and the companies before us. I know 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.279 you don't mean it to be so, but you have 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:22.240 blood on your hands. You have a product, you have 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.400 a product that's killing people. 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.080 Yeah, that was good. I tell you what, why don't 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.800 we just do we start the show with a show stopper, Jack. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.040 It's his steroid to Heaven, it's his greatest hits, his hit, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.839 greatest hit, Lindsey Graham. During the Judge Kavanaugh hearings, just 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.279 to reset it in case your memories are fuzzy. At 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:52.800 the last moment, the Democrats brought forth this blasy Ford 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:59.200 woman who claimed that in high school many decades ago, 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.680 that Judge Kavanaugh was part of a group of boys 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.000 who molested her on one level or another at a 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:10.000 high school party where people had been drinking, and the 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.960 memory her memories were incredibly vague and a lot of 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.240 the facts didn't fit. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.400 It was the opposite of the woman that came forward 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:21.400 against Platner last week, where there was zero contemporary at 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.920 the time corroborated evidence. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.080 Her friends were like, I never heard that, right, right, 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:32.719 there's just nothing to corroborate it. And notably because Lindsey 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.640 makes a reference to this, the Democrats didn't say, hey, 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.440 this needs to be fully investigated. They just brought it 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.000 up at the last minute to assassinate his character. Judge Kavanaugh, 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.520 you may recall, and I would love to hear this again. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:49.200 He finally had had enough and abandoned his I'm gonna 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.159 sit here quietly with a smile on my face in 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.960 a dignified way and take this because this is horrific. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.839 It made the borking of a judge Borick look tame. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.359 He blasted him, He said it was disgusting and it 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.240 was wrong, and the rest of it, and then the 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:07.239 narrative became Kavian awe as he's hot headed. He doesn't 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.800 have the temperament to be on the court. Well, they 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.679 came back from a break and Lindsey Graham had had 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.520 enough sixty Michael, did. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.520 You know that her staff had already recommended a lawyer 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:21.480 to dodnor Ford. 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.960 I did not know that. Did you know that her. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.160 And her staff had this allegations for over twenty days? 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.440 I did not know that at the time. 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.000 If you wanted an FBI investigation, you could have come 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.840 to us. What you want to do is destroy this 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.560 guy's life. Hold this seat open, and hope you went 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:46.480 in twenty twenty. You've said that, not me. You've got 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:51.040 nothing to apologize for. When you see Soda Maron Kagan, 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.920 tell him that Lindsay said, oh, because I voted for them, 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.320 I would never do to them what you've done to 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.320 this guy. 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.359 This is the most unethl. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:06.119 Sham since I've been in politics. And if you really 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.920 wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.440 have done what you've done to this guy. Are you 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:12.840 a gang rapist? 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:13.680 No? 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:22.480 I cannot imagine what you and your family have gone through. Boy, 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:23.400 y'all want power. 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:24.680 God, I hope you never get it. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.200 I hope the American people can see through this sham 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:29.400 that you knew. 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:30.480 About it and you held it. 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:35.440 You had no intention of protecting doctor Ford none. She's 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.120 as much of a victim as you are. 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:38.720 God. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.520 I hate to say it because these have been my friends, 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:43.840 but let me tell you when it comes to this, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.520 you're looking for a fair process. You came to the 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.920 wrong town at the wrong time. 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.360 My friend, and a lot of the Sunday shows credited 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:59.720 that speech from Lindsay Graham for rescuing Slash saving Kevin 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:00.640 Oughn's nomination. 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:08.400 Yeah. Possibly, there's a lot of grand standing in the 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.880 halls of Congress and the Senate these days. It's fairly 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:16.320 rare that you hear somebody who is obviously completely sincere 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.280 that was great, That was so ugly. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:26.080 He never he never wavered on his whole hawkishness in 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:31.320 terms of think in the United States needed to, you know, 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:32.880 stand up to bullies around the world. 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:37.240 That was man. That was a through line for him, always, 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.679 even when it was very unpopular. I think that probably 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.040 is partly because of his life story, that he was 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.720 very much not the upper crust of society. In fact, 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:51.040 he's still in the His net worth when he passed 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.079 was like one point five million dollars. They had him. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.640 I got the article in front of me, the poorest 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.320 member of Congress in terms of net worth. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:04.199 I don't think that's right. Oh okay, this article is wrong, man. Yeah, yeah, anyway, 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.080 we can look into that. But he definitely is in 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.640 the bottom half of everybody in the Congress. But he 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.200 you know, he's the son of a not very well 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.679 to do a liquor store owner, and his parents passed 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.560 away when he was a teenager, and he adopted his 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.800 sister and raised her and took care of her. He's 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.480 never displayed much interest in getting rich. He just cares 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.520 about American foreign policy and the judiciary and stuff like that. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.679 He's also very very funny. And the context of the 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.160 next clip sixty one, he's talking to the Republican Jewish 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:40.680 Coalition about the rise of anti Semitism. And this was 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:45.360 a while back, but note the tone. But I just 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:46.600 want to make it really clear. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.720 I'm in the Hitler sucks wing of the Revolgan Party. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:57.320 What is this Hitler? 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:03.720 I don't know. Anyway, Here's what I do know. You 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:08.040 can sit in a basement with weird people and say 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:08.760 weird things. 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.160 That's a free country, right. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:15.200 But if you ever run for office as a Republican 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.640 and you embrace this, where we're going to beat your 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:19.280 brains out. 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.560 Reading from this transcript with Al Franken, a former Senator 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.760 from Minnesota who was a member of Saturday Night Live 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.560 wrote for Senator. To Night Live, reporters said, would your 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.720 colleagues in the Senate tell you jokes? Al Franken said, yes, 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.160 is that annoying? Is really annoying for a couple of them. 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:43.840 Is there anyone who's actually funny? 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:44.160 Yeah? 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.720 The funniest Senator is Lindsey Graham. Really disappointing, isn't it. 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.839 Al Franken said, that's surprising. He's very funny. Al Franken said, 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.920 what's an example? I thought this was actually pretty good. 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.080 When he was running for president in twenty sixteen, I 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.400 was next to him in the see men's room and said, 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.160 if I was the Republican, I'd vote for you, and 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:09.800 without hesitation, Lindsay Graham said that's my problem, which is true. 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:15.360 Wow wow, Yeah, I'm anxious to hear. Well, do you 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.800 have more of the Lindsay stuff you'd like to hear? 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.880 I mean, here's an example of his hawkishness in sixty two. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:23.439 For sure. 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.240 Here's what I tell President Trump. Keep it up for 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.120 a few more weeks. Take carg Island, where all of 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.760 the resources they have to British oil control that island. 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.520 Let this regime down a vine. The result could be 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.320 a grinding war of attrition. They talk about how far 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.120 away they would be from recent. 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.200 Sort of tired of all this armchair quarterback. And this 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.640 has been amazing military operation, God bless the fallen. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.319 But it's a difference. Let me talk about troops on the. 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.480 I trust the Marines, not that guy. I trust DoD 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.720 We got two marine expeditionary units selling to this island. 0:11:58.040 --> 0:11:59.120 We did a Ojima. 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.280 We can do this, and that might be what we're 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.240 going to do, which we'll talk about a little bit later. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:09.280 I really think it's an interesting conversation, and it's not 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:16.840 everybody's personality that could do this around switching gears, befriending 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.400 enemies or whatever. Because you want to stay in office 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.440 to accomplish the things you want to accomplish, versus people 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.480 who do that who just want to stay in office 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:27.960 because they like being in office. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.920 Because there's plenty of that. Yeah, I think maybe it's 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.560 as simple as you look at somebody and say, are 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.080 they clearly purpose driven? 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.560 Well, for instance, I kept hearing over the weekend Lindsey 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.520 Graham found a way to always be relevant no matter 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.439 you know, where the party went. So he came in 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.960 in the big wave in ninety four with a whole 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.320 bunch of rebels that were all about throwing Newt Gingrich 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.560 out of office and a new kind of Republican party 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.120 in fighting the establishment. Next thing, you know, his best 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:57.960 friend is John McCain, who couldn't have been more of 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.320 the establishment than we all know the Trump story. He 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.840 ran against Trump, he ends up being Trump's closest friend, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.360 all that sort of stuff. But he all he stayed 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.319 in relevant so that he could be a hawk on 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.280 foreign policy all the way through, where as opposed to 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.960 Joe Biden, who also always found a way to be 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.880 relevant for all those years. But I have no idea 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.319 what Joe Biden cared about, no idea. I don't think 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.280 he cared about anything but holding onto power, enriching the 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.080 Biden family. Yeah, he had so many one hundred and 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.640 eighty degree reverses, not on who he was working with 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.200 or whatever, but on some fundamental policies. Anyway, I wonder 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.200 what you think about that text line four one five 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.800 two nine five KFTC want to mention this new dating 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.079 app trend among you people. 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.439 That's new, young people. That's kind of funny. Among other 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:44.280 things on the way. 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:55.000 Arm Trump, a judge ruled that United Airlines must face 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.760 a lawsuit for selling window seats that didn't have windows. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.280 And while Joy Behar's neighbors are suing her because her 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:04.359 home does. 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.960 Wow, he will ever forget. He will shoehorn in a 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:18.960 Joy Bay reference, no matter how unlikely. Yes, yeah, I 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.280 hope you didn't pay for the Connor McGregor fight on 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:27.480 Saturday night. It lasted about thirty five seconds. Classic. The 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.320 mind is wooling but the body is not. He's thirty 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.520 eight years old and tried to kick a guy in 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.760 the head. Like the first second he tried to do 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.400 one of his big giant kicks, and then he just 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.960 kept falling down and limping around, and he tapped out 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:40.760 like in less than a minute. 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.960 Just he hurt himself getting surgery today. I just read 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.720 age is a thing, man, It really is. Yeah, I'm 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:48.440 sure he thought that. 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.200 If Sean used to say time is undefeated. I'm sure 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.640 he thought, I've done this ten thousand times. Why can't 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.880 I kick like that anymore? Well, because your body is 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.080 not the same as it was when you were twenty 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:03.160 two and doing that. Wow, anyway, you weren't here my Uh, yeah, 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.200 we got this text. Hey Jack, who's that guy in 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.080 the air with you? He sounds vaguely familiar Joe Getty. 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.520 He's been in the radio industry for many years. My 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.040 son saw Conni bercgregor walking down the street in Vegas. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:15.600 I was already in bed. My son was out and 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.520 about and he saw because he was training for the 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.840 fight that was in Vegas over the weekend. And Connor 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.200 McGregor just walking down the street in Vegas does that. 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.240 He walks just like he does on TV, kind of 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.320 his arms sticking out, swaggering. That's his actual walk. 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:30.960 I don't know if you swagger as much when you 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.280 lost in twenty five seconds to a guy. So there's 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:39.480 a new dating app on UC campuses. There's some Bay 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.040 Area company AI companies trying to get going. Kind of 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:46.680 an interesting idea, uh founded a couple of years ago. 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.000 It just started to take off now Instead of scrolling 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:55.000 through profiles, you complete a survey that allows the platforms 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:59.520 AI to determine matches. New pairings are generated every Wednesday, 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.560 giving match students a chance to choose a time that 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.200 works for them both and according to their own data, 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.640 which is probably fudged, it has arranged more than twelve 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.600 thousand dates, with ninety two percent of the matched participants 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.760 saying they wanted to go on a second date, which 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:14.360 would be very high. 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:14.800 Yeah. 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.360 I read about that when it was just getting going. 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:21.480 It's intriguing. There was some skepticism about it too, But 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.400 if that percentage is anywhere near clear that truly that's 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.840 pretty good. Yeah, I don't know if I will have. Yeah, 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.360 for the past twenty years, we've connected in primitive ways, 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.160 what based completely on looks. 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:36.160 Yes, that's fairly primitive. But now AI brings your profiles 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:40.520 to life as agents. Can human beings get past the 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.760 choosing just based on looks and start doing the whole 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.200 AI thing and letting AI choose a mate for them. 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.200 We'll see. Yeah, there's a lot I guess in the 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.600 question here about the things you'd like to do, your hobbies, 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:57.120 your interests, your attitudes, and this is not. The skepticism 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.400 I ran into is that that's never really been the 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.400 way we've chose was in May. No, it's not. It's 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:06.080 a mysterious prodiject, you know, product of genetics and sensing 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.960 things in each other. It's probably pheromones involved. I mean, 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.320 my wife and I have a couple of things in common, right, 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:12.600 but we best friends. 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.000 We should talk about that more later, because that's one 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.800 of the things I noticed my brief period of online dating. 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:18.840 We will talk about that later. 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.240 We got other stuff to get to those stay here. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.560 Armstrong and Getty. Twenty five year old Sam Farber tried 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.720 to break a Gettess world record for the fastest ten 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.679 meter walk while holding up alum between his knees, but 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.879 the current record is three point nine one seconds. Barber 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.320 did beat the record, coming in three point five seconds. 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.080 I feel like somebody in this building could probably get 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:40.960 get run tonight. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.920 Michelangelo's take was the Guinness Book of World Records needs 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:47.480 to go away. 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:52.320 I think you're right, right, that's just it's idiotic. Look, 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.359 you get one hundred records, you pick them, Yeah, but 0:17:55.560 --> 0:18:00.520 just one hundred ten meter balloon walking. He ain't gonna 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:01.639 make the grade. I'm guessing. 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.240 So Joel, as you know, is on vacation two weeks. 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:09.240 I mentioned in a million times celebrating's anniversary. Who's in Alaska? 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.320 He was actually that guy that got flipped by the 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:11.920 bithon if. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:15.560 You've seen the video. Yeah, yeah, the swelling's starting to 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.200 go down. Thank god. He's okay, Thank good. Oh here's 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.800 the number everybody wants to know. Three three solid pounds 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:26.119 I gained, but only three. It's not bad. It's not terrible. No, 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.520 it's not as Oh. Boy. When I got on the 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.680 scale this morning, I was thinking, all right, look, brace yourself, 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.000 take it like a man, do what needs to be done. 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:39.080 It'll be okay. E. I wasn't happy about it, but 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:43.040 it's fun. Might even be a little encouraging, Like you 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.159 can you can live a pretty out there lifestyle and 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.520 ain't gonna do much damage. Boy, I hadn't thought of 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:52.480 it like that. Yeah, it was just this food was 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.200 so good. So for those who don't know what times 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:59.119 do you live, that's a really good point. As a 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:04.639 non Buddhist A yeah, yeah. So my college sweetheart and 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:06.840 I have been married for forty years, and so we 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.840 celebrated our anniversary with a cruise. Due to the nature 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:15.040 of this job, Jack and I don't take long breaks much. 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.200 It's not like I've risen up in the insurance world 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:20.720 and I can have Jim cover my big accounts and 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.000 let me know if something big happens and then go 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.280 on a safari for three weeks. It's just not the 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.840 nature of what we do. So we haven't traveled nearly 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.000 as much as Judy would have liked to. So for 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.000 our fortieth anniversary, I'm more or less declared that, not 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:34.840 that there was a problem with it, but look, we're 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.800 taking a two week cruise. We're gone, so good luck, goodbye, 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:41.639 see us suckers. And we went off to Alaska, which 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:45.240 is every bit as amazing as you have heard. The 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:49.400 landscape wise, just every time you open your eyes you say, 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:54.720 oh my god. I still call it Seward's folly. You know, 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:56.879 I was thinking about that because, oh, I went to 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:01.119 so many really interesting history lectures on the on the ship, 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.120 or went to museums and that sort of stuff, and 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.040 the swords folly thing, it just it reminded me of 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.440 modern politics. Oh, the other side did it, So let's 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:14.240 call it stupid. Yeah, it's now widely recognized as the 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:18.919 best real estate purchase in the history of humans. Now, no, 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.520 of course it was swords of those Republicans are stupid anyway, 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:28.359 It's unbelievably beautiful, great, plus a buffer against the Soviet 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:32.280 Union in Russia, which is important. Oh yeah, and you know, 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.560 as lovely as whale oil was back in the day. 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.919 All of oh god, the history of whaling so gross, 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:43.600 so terrible. We had no idea the mineral resources that 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:45.679 were in Alaska when it was bought. I mean, it 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:47.680 was a good idea that at the time it turned 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.960 out to be an unbelievably good idea. But the one 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:53.119 thing you get the takeaway from Alaska is how vast 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:57.520 it is, because we did really the southeastern Alasta, Alaska coast, 0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.679 and if you look at a map, Alaska is this 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.760 in enormous land mass. And then you say, oh, look 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.320 at that. It kind of we took some of the 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:07.520 coasts that looks like it ought to be Canada. But 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:11.840 that's part of Alaska. Huh. Well, that little like appendix, 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:17.240 that little vestigial tale of Alaska is an enormous wilderness. 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.240 It's huge. The big part of Alaska you can't even 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.400 comprehend how big it is. It's three times the size 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:29.160 of Texas roughly roughly, wow, three times as big as Texas. Yeah, yeah, 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.560 And it's just it's so beautiful and so rich in 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:34.560 resources and animals and you name it. And like we 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.040 were in Sword, Alaska at one point. Oh and that 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:38.720 was I mentioned this Friday. I was on the last 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.760 half hour of the show showing what a trooper. I 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:44.840 am exhausted from an all night flight, but we did 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:49.040 a super cool I guess that was a kayak tour 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:51.800 that we did. And the guide pointed out he said, 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.600
