But let's 53 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: plunge ahead. First of all, I enjoy the skill of 54 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: the headline anti Israel. Microsoft employees arrested for storming President's office. 55 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: Partner with bail fund led by murderer who bashed man's 56 00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 3: skull with hammer. So, if you're going to run a society, 57 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: you have incentives and disincentives right for good behavior and 58 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: bad behavior, the obvious being you know, you work hard, 59 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: you're smart, you get a salary, awards whatever, bad behavior 60 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: you get fines or you get jailed or whatever. Now, 61 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: if I'm a radical and I want to bring down society, 62 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: and all my peeps are saying, you know what the 63 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 3: problem is, there are negative reinforcements for bringing down this society. 64 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,839 Speaker 3: If you're like a dedicated Marxist, what do you do? 65 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: You remove those negative reinforcements. Somehow you take away all 66 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: the pain. And here's how this works. You may remember 67 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: this happened a couple of weeks ago. It's not breaking 68 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: news exactly, but the process I think is interesting. So 69 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: that group of current and former Microsoft employees got arrested 70 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: because they stormed the office of the company's president and 71 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: spent a few and or chance and yelling and spraying 72 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: red paint and dumping buckets of fake blood and writing 73 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: slogans and. 74 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: Stuff like that. 75 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: Well, they spent just a few hours in jail, even 76 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 3: though they're charged with all sorts of stuff, thanks to 77 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: the Northwest Community Bail Fund, a group that uses democratic 78 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 3: dark money to free criminals convicted of violent crimes. The 79 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: Microsoft group that called themselves no Azure for Apartheid I 80 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 3: think that's one of their software packages now Azure I 81 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: don't know, has recently spearheaded a number of illegal demonstrations 82 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: targeting the company's work with the Israeli government. Seven of 83 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: its members were arrested last week this is actually two 84 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 3: weeks ago now, for a storming Microsoft president Bradsmith's office, 85 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: setting up barricades, clashing with police, and all the other 86 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: crap I mentioned. Twenty were arrested the week before for 87 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 3: establishing an encampment at the company's headquarters and defacing the 88 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: Microsoft sign there a courtyard. You may remember that in 89 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: both cases, the group called on its followers to donate 90 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: to the the NCBF again, that's the Northwest Community Bail 91 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 3: Fund their Protester Liberation Fund to support those arrested, and 92 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 3: in both cases arrests were swiftly released from from jail 93 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 3: rather bailed out and somebody else paid for it, So 94 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: they personally were only inconvenience for a couple of hours, 95 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: but were lifted up by the accolades and the praise 96 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 3: of their peers, so all in all they kind of 97 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 3: felt like heroes. I'm looking at some of the fundraising 98 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 3: posters now scrolling through the partnership reflects the growing role 99 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: that bail funds like the NCBF are playing in supporting 100 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 3: the illegal actions of anti Israel agitators and other hardcore 101 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: leftist agitators. A similar organization, the Community Justice Exchange, provided 102 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 3: bail money and legal support to scores of Free Palestine 103 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 3: protesters who blocked major airports, highways, and bridges, and dozens 104 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 3: of US cities last year. According to the Washington Free Beacon, 105 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 3: the NCBF itself helped free forty six anti Israel agitators 106 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 3: arrested for blockading traffic in the c Tac Airport, and 107 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 3: it's Protester Deliberation Fund explicitly goes toward quote posting bail 108 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: for protesters. 109 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: This could work. Oh it does work. It works really well. 110 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: I mean, like really work over time. If protesters for 111 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: lefty causes just absolutely know they're going to get bailed 112 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 2: out right away, and if any chargers ever come forward, 113 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: which they don't, but if they ever did, there'd be 114 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: lawyers there to fight for them. 115 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 3: Well, and imagine as a society, or you know, you 116 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 3: contemplate that as a society, we have these negative repercussions 117 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: and the people who are supposed to be feeling them 118 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 3: are laughing and high fiving right because they don't feel them. 119 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: So the NCBF launched in twenty sixteen, but it really 120 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: wasn't much until the George Floyd thing in twenty twenty. 121 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 3: It raised nearly six million dollars that year.

I don't know if there is. 176 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 2: The NAA. 177 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 3: This other group that does this posted a video to 178 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 3: Instagram when they bailed out the Microsoft goons. Caption the 179 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 3: worker into fodder, remains undeterred, organized, disrupt, escalate, the people 180 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: United will never be defeated. 181 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: Well that's horrifying. 182 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you can put aside the horror for a moment, 183 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 3: the question returns to what you're just considering. 184 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: What do you do about this? 185 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 3: We've raised millions of dollars to make sure nobody feels 186 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: any negative repercussions from breaking the law, because you can't, like, 187 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: raise money to put them back in It doesn't work 188 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: that way, So or advocate you know, severe beatings. So okay, 189 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: you've been bailed out, but now you have a broken jaw. 190 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's horrible. Obviously, that's that's against everything 191 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: we stand for. Yeah, I think I think the only 192 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: actual remedy is to make people aware of it and 193 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: have them vote in DA elections. 194 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's a slow process though. But you can 195 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 3: still bail somebody out no matter the DA. Now, the 196 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 3: DA might be more aggressive at bringing charges and making 197 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: them stick. That would be a really good thing, and 198 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 3: we can do that, You're right, But a giant fund 199 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 3: to make sure you never feel the repercussions of breaking 200 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 3: the law. 201 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: What do we do? And it makes sense why you 202 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: see so many groups shutting down bridges or freeways or 203 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 2: whatever in the name of this or that, because they 204 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 2: know they're going to be bailed out. 205 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 3: I'm going to deface a priceless word of art or 206 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 3: ruin it. Okay, Well, your bail is five thousand dollars 207 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 3: and you're fine is twenty thousand dollars. Fine, I don't care. 208 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: A NCBF total is twenty five thousand. Yep, scratch out 209 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 3: a check. There you go, and I'm off to the 210 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 3: next art museum. 211 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 2: All right. Anybody got an idea, how you combat this. 212 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: This is a troubling one. All right. That's a good story. 213 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: Terrible story, but interesting story. A lot on the ways, 214 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: stay here, arm strong and getty. Here is a woman 215 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: explaining how easy it is to be homeless on the 216 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: streets in Portland. Is it like being homeless in Portland? 217 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: It's a piece of cake, really. I mean, that's why 218 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: you probably got so many out here, because they feed 219 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: you three meals a day. You don't have to do 220 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: stay in your tent or party or if you'd smoke 221 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: of a lot of dope, you can do that. 222 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: What else? What else in the list? And what else? 223 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: I say, Well, I'm being interviewed. 224 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really it. It's like you wake up, you 225 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: go eat a blanche, get high, go eat a blanche 226 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: for runch, get high, go eat dinner, get high. 227 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: And that's how you. 228 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: Do all day long, every day. 229 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 2: I'm being honest. I appreciate the honesty. 230 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 231 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: Does it feel like that's really helping anybody? It's not. 232 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: Yes, that's why you see all the tents. 233 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: Well that's a good myth, jack, a myth that's encouraging. 234 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: If you got up and went to work today, isn't 235 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: it got to bring that clip back for tomorrow. We 236 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 2: got to play that like three times an hour, every 237 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: single hour. Little economic news for you about a variety 238 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 2: of things. Mentioned last week that Starbucks is cutting a 239 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: bunch of jobs, closing hundreds of locations. They're cutting nine 240 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 2: hundred jobs in North America. Here's a number that every 241 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: story should have included, as they're going to close several 242 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: hundred stores. How many Starbucks locations are there you in 243 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: the United States? Seventeen thousand, two hundred and thirty. I 244 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 2: feel like that number needs to be included in the 245 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: story when you talk about closing a couple hundred. Big deal, 246 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 2: there are seventeen thousand Starbucks. They saw a little fat, 247 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: they trimmed it different thing. 248 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 3: Uh, here's the question, how do people not get the 249 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: homeless gal what she was saying in the takeaway from that? 250 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: How do you not get that? I'm honestly mystified. Uh, 251 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 2: people on the left side of politics. I figured this 252 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: out years ago, and I can't be argued off this point. 253 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: The difference between liberals and conservatives, as far as I 254 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: can tell, is liberals assume everyone is doing their best 255 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: at all times. They're really trying. They can't imagine anybody 256 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: taking advantage of a system or stealing or you know, 257 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: not working very hard. If you get lessons justified for 258 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: some reason, everybody tries their hardest all the time to 259 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: do the right thing. If they don't, it's because somebody 260 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: forced them to steal. 261 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: Or lie or not work hard or right. The only 262 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 3: bad results are because you got cheated. 263 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so you don't want to acknowledge that woman's 264 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 2: making a bad choice that takes advantage of society. Yeah, 265 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 2: enough of my musings. You were saying something consumers do 266 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: not like smart appliances. I know I don't. This is 267 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: according to a poll and the uh, this is not 268 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: surprising to me at all. A woman talking about in 269 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: USA today seems to be somewhat surprised by it that 270 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 2: the average person wants to when they switch on their 271 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: washing machine. Friends, since you pour a little detergent in 272 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: the top tray and then you set it to cold 273 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 2: or hot and you want to spin it really faster, 274 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: kind of faster or whatever. Then you close the door 275 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: and press a button. You just that's it. That's all 276 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: you want. And when you go to your washing machine 277 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 2: and try to do a load of laundry, and it 278 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: says you need to update the software. It makes you 279 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 2: want to smash it with a hammer, then set it 280 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: on fire and then bury it. Yes, may I I 281 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 2: don't need to update the software. I don't want to 282 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: act up. I don't want any software in my washing machine. 283 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 2: I just want to turn it on to have a 284 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 2: washed clothes. 285 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: I got to call my dad and say, hey, Dad, 286 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 3: tell me about all the times you had to mess 287 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 3: with the thermostat in the house. He'd be like, what 288 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 3: are you talking about. We wanted it to be seventy 289 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 3: seven degrees. We set it on seventy seven. No, no, no, 290 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 3: Tell me about all the times you had to reset 291 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 3: it or swap out the batteries, or update the software, 292 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 3: or call the service company to come because your smart 293 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 3: thermostat died again, and just to show up at your 294 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 3: damn house it costs you one hundred and thirty nine 295 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: dollars or whatever it was. Tell me about that, Dad, 296 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 3: and he'd say, again, what are you talking about. 297 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 2: I don't need software in my toaster. I just want 298 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: to toast. But I didn't get the big economic story, 299 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: which we've been seeing coming for a while everybody but 300 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 2: the top ten percent kind of struggle in a bit. 301 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 2: And I've got some stats to back that up that 302 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 2: are pretty interesting. Armstrong and Getty, we're not spending a 303 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: lot of time on two of the horrifying shootings, killings, 304 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: things that happened around the country over the weekend. But 305 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 2: I want to repeat this often enough that everybody hears 306 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 2: it at some point, because I think it is dead 307 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 2: on correct. The studies have shown that a lot of 308 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 2: this it's suicides. It's just it's people who want to 309 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: commit suicide, but for whatever reason, the contagion right now 310 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 2: is you have to do it in a spectacular way. 311 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 2: People used to just kill themselves a jump off a 312 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 2: bridge alone, or kill themselves in their garage or whatever. 313 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 2: Now you have to do it in a spectacular fashion. 314 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 2: It's because when they do the research, they find out 315 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: the person has been suicidal for a long time. They 316 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: just recently decided to pick pick a venue, a choice, 317 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 2: a an issue, a cause to tie the suicide too, 318 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 2: to make it seem more I don't know important. 319 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 3: Well, they want their suicide to be noticed and lamented, 320 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 3: grieved over. They know how to buy that with other bodies. 321 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 2: I don't know what we do to stop that contagion, 322 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 2: but I do think that is what is going on. 323 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: Is the semi colon dying, opinion split onrelevance. That's the 324 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 2: front page USA Today story. The writer Kurt Vonnegut, who 325 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of, said that the semi colon 326 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: said of the semi colon, it's showy. It's chiefly used 327 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 2: to show you've been to college. More than two thirds 328 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 2: of young Americans say they know how to use it, 329 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: about the same number tests prove actually don't. That's pretty funny. 330 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: Two thirds of people say they know how to use 331 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 2: a sem and going two thirds actually don't. Kurt Vonnegett says, 332 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 2: you only use it to show you've been to college. 333 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 2: That's pretty funny. You know what. I actually use it. 334 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 3: Semi frequently. It to me takes the same role, has 335 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 3: the same role as like dot dot dot it's it's 336 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 3: it's well. I've heard it described as a soft period, 337 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 3: stronger than a comma, but not quite the full stop 338 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 3: of a period. I have a big meeting tomorrow, semi colon, 339 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: I need to prepare tonight less cramping. 340 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: Oh, you're an idiot. So my dot dot which I'm 341 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: a big fan of is basically using a semi colon. Yeah, okay, 342 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 2: I think so that's fantastic. So I did want to 343 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 2: talk about this. This is actually important. So the stat 344 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 2: from a week or so ago really got my attention. 345 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: Consumer spending is doing okay, pretty good, hanging in there, 346 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 2: because when consumer spending, oh, the economy collapses, because two 347 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: thirds of our economy is consumer spending. But right now, 348 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 2: half of consumer spending is just the top ten percent. 349 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 2: So the burden of consumer spending is being is on 350 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 2: a small number of people. Hm. 351 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 3: I find myself wondering, what's the usual percentage that the 352 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 3: top ten percent actions? I, actually, they have more money. 353 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I actually had that, and I don't remember 354 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: what it was, but it was significantly significant change. Okay, 355 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 2: because I wondered that too. I'll have to look that 356 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 2: stet up because that is important to the whole thing. 357 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 2: But so this news out of that is not that surprising. 358 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 2: While the wealthy, prosper middle class Americans increasingly feel the pinch. 359 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: There's something called the Michigan Index, which I've heard before. 360 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 2: Whenever you get into this topic. It's a common and 361 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 2: well respected consumer sentiment gauge that factors in a bunch 362 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 2: of different things. The Michigan Index, anyway, consumer sentiment was 363 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 2: at seventy not that long ago. In the summer, it collapsed. 364 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: It's down to fifty five, where the number one hundred 365 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 2: signals neutral feelings on the economy. When you're at one hundred, 366 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 2: you're just like, yeah, it's okay, I get's not great, 367 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 2: it's not bad. I don't know. Below that, you're mostly negative. 368 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 2: But it went from seventy, which was already somewhat negative, 369 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: to fifty five for the middle class. You cannot make 370 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: anxiety as running particularly strong among lower and middle income consumers, 371 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 2: and it fell off a cliff this summer. Higher income Americans, 372 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 2: and for this study, they're calling anybody that makes more 373 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 2: than one hundred thousand a year. You make one hundred 374 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 2: and one thousand dollars a year in the Bay Area, 375 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 2: you do not consider yourself a higher income individual. Probably 376 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: they have buoyant sentiments. 377 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 3: I rarely describe myself as Hey, Joe, how you doing buoyant? 378 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 2: I'm gonna start doing that more often. You should. How's 379 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 2: it going, boyant af I'll say. But in June, middle 380 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: class confidence gave out and the index went down a lot. 381 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 2: And this concern is economists. Of course, everything concerns economists, 382 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 2: and they disagree on everything. But that doesn't surprise me. Really, 383 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: things are still expensive. Yeah, uh well, And as. 384 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 3: I've said before, doesn't everything just feel a little precarious? 385 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it does. Well if you're you know, you 386 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 2: follow the stock market at all. My life experience is 387 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 2: when it's setting records, like every other day, there's a 388 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: correction coming. And like my dad, who's been retired for 389 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 2: quite some time, says I've lost everything, I've half of 390 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 2: everything I've got like three times since I retired. I mean, 391 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 2: it happens now and then where you get the big correction. 392 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 3: And the correction isn't gonna be like the gentle parenting craze. 393 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 3: It's gonna be more like an angry Catholic school nun 394 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 3: in nineteen fifty. Okay, the ruler is gonna come down 395 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 3: with a resounding smack. 396 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 2: God, dang it. Have y'all looked at your four to 397 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 2: oh one? K I rarely do. I just had to 398 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 2: for some form the other day. I looked at my 399 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 2: phone kind of like, holy crap, I suppose I shouldn't 400 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 2: have been surprised with the stock market constantly set in records, 401 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: and it's pretty tied into that. But eh, should. 402 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 3: I be a hardcore long term investor guy. If you 403 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 3: miss the drop by a day and the rally by 404 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 3: a day, you will lose out on an enormous amount 405 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 3: of wealth. That's why you just ride it out. On 406 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,239 Speaker 3: the other hand, I look at what's going on right 407 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 3: now and I think, oh God, cash out, cash out, 408 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 3: just cash out now, cash out my gold bars or bitcoiner, 409 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 3: doge coiner, game stop stock? Is that still going on? 410 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 3: I don't know, gold bars, Yeah, maybe that's the answer. 411 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 3: This is breaking news Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya who 412 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 3: spoke on the phone with the Prime Minister of Qatar 413 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 3: and apologized for violating Qatar's sovereignty in the strike on 414 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 3: Doha and expressed regret for the killing of a Katari 415 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 3: security guard while they were taking out the various humas 416 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 3: leaders there. 417 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 2: See, everybody's fine now, Netanya, who's sitting with the president 418 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 2: at right as we are. I wonder if that was 419 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 2: that part of the deal. Trump said, you gotta call him, apologize, 420 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: tell him you're sorry. Now, tell him you're sorry and 421 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 2: mean it someday. 422 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 3: I wish they would release the Trump net Yahoo tapes 423 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 3: like they did the Nixon tapes. I don't know if 424 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 3: there are tapes, but you know, like after the Katari attack, the. 425 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: Word was Trump just lit him up. He yelled at him. 426 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 3: But then they subsequently, whether it was a couple hours 427 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 3: later the next day, had a very good, calm productive chat. 428 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 3: So they've obviously got a couple of alpha male, hot 429 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 3: tempered yelling at each other in a relationship. I'd love 430 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: to hear it someday or just read the transcripts, but 431 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 3: I don't know if that'll ever ask. 432 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: Semi Colon, that would all be amusing, agreed. 433 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 3: An anti ice protester in Massachusetts forgot to put her 434 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 3: car in park while yelling at agents making interest of 435 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 3: an illegal alien, and her car rolled into a lake 436 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 3: and sunk. 437 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 2: That's disappointing, tells Fox. 438 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 3: It happened upon Massachusetts, a small, very blue town in 439 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 3: Blue Worcester County, forty miles west of Boston, and a 440 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 3: clip of voice can be heard saying, well, that sucks. 441 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 3: Look at that, Lucy. Her car got lost. As the 442 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 3: woman's car drifts further into the water. 443 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 2: The lesson for all of us. Oh, that reminds me. 444 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: I was practicing driving with my son yesterday. We're driving 445 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 2: around on county highways in his truck as he is 446 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 2: coming up on getting his license, and so I took 447 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 2: him over to a friend's house and Saturday night, and 448 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 2: his friend, who is a few months older than him, 449 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 2: has his license now. And I saw him pull up 450 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 2: and it was just like it was I'm sure you've 451 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: had this experience. Just it was so weird to see 452 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 2: this kid that I've known since he was in kindergarten 453 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 2: driving a car. It's like, what the hell? It just 454 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 2: seems he's sure this is all right. This is really 455 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: times change. People grow. Hey, do you guys have a 456 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: student driver on your bumper? 457 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 3: A little sign? No? 458 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 2: I don't. Can you get those? Are you supposed to 459 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 2: have more? I guess, I mean I don't. And then 460 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 2: does it carry any legal weight? Do you get any? 461 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 2: You get me? It doesn't care legal weight, but I 462 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: appreciate it. 463 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 3: Honestly, if I'm on a city thoroughfare where nobody ever 464 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 3: goes the speed limit, and somebody's going the speed limit 465 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 3: and I say, patients, please, student driver, I see that. 466 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 2: Oh okay, got it, got it, got it, yep. 467 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 3: I won't get up, not that I would like dangerously 468 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 3: tailgate anyway, but I get it. 469 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 2: So cool, you're cool. I'll just call it. I do. 470 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: I pull around in front of my brake check and 471 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 2: then I roll coal on them. I do. I'll do 472 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: everything you drive them from me, not rolling coal. But yeah, 473 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 2: that happened to me. Just the other day. I was 474 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 2: was that a weird four way stop situation? And I said, 475 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: what is that person doing? And Sam said they got 476 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 2: the student driver's sticker and I was like, oh, okay, yeah, 477 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 2: they're trying to figure it out. And yeah, my patients 478 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 2: went way, way, way up right. 479 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 3: I shouldn't have screamed, go you f fing mm or 480 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 3: I just if I'd seen the sign, I wouldn't have. 481 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: You know, my son, I think figured out the other day. 482 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 2: We were having a conversation about a particular group of 483 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 2: people that seem to struggle with driving. Oh, and I 484 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 2: think he came upon this realization. No, no, no, no, no, 485 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 2: he was. He's very aware of it. He's very aware 486 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: of the existence of this. And I won't say why, 487 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: but I think he figured out why. And it's always 488 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: been a mystery why does this particular group of people 489 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: struggle with driving so much when they seem to excel 490 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 2: at other things. I won't I won't name the group, 491 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 2: but I've. 492 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 3: Got a great punchline. But it would end our careers today, 493 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 3: and I can't. I can't explain why. But it reminded 494 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 3: me of one of the many Armstrong and Getty. I 495 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: don't know, laws of social physics or whatever things that 496 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 3: we've come across over the years. The fact that you 497 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 3: can point out the strength of. 498 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: A racial group or ethnic group or whatever, or really 499 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 2: any group. You can point out their strengths as divided 500 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 2: out from other people, but not weaknesses. And no sense 501 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 2: whatsoever that any group could have only positives and no negatives. 502 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 2: I mean, that does make sense on any face of 503 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: it whatsoever. 504 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 3: No, you want another layer of irony if you were 505 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 3: to say, because. 506 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: You wann't say that group has high homer owner owner 507 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 2: high home owner rates, less, crime gets divorced less. But 508 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 2: if there's a negative stat you can't say that out louder. 509 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 2: You're in trouble. Well, so here's the extra load of 510 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 2: irony for. 511 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 3: Can't try for instance, and particularly in particularly if if 512 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 3: you were to suggest that sort of thing, even a 513 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 3: positive I remember if you were to suggest that, yeah, 514 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 3: Indian kids, uh, you know, they worked really hard and 515 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,239 Speaker 3: they value education. And you weren't even supposed to say that, 516 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 3: because that reduces the individual to just his group, and 517 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 3: that's ugly. That's a stereo tip type. Even positive stereotypes 518 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: are a racism and wrong. And then the woke crowd 519 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 3: came along and took over the Left and they're like, 520 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 3: everybody is the stereotype of the race. All white people 521 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 3: are evil white supremacists, all black people are victims. 522 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 2: There are no individuals. 523 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 3: You will not be judged on your individual achievements or 524 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 3: efforts or character. 525 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 2: You will be painted with the color of your race. Period. 526 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 2: And that was the Left again. But the new Left. Yeah, 527 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 2: I wish I could talk about this more, but I 528 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: can't end our careers. 529 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 3: And people so weak and stupid that really they ought 530 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 3: to be at the end of the leash that their 531 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 3: dog is holding. People so damn stupid they couldn't recognize 532 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 3: what was going on Felford all And they're thick in 533 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 3: our nation's universities and schools and blue towns. Yes, indeed, 534 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 3: they believe every word of it. And when the new 535 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 3: new Left comes along and utterly contradicts that but yells 536 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 3: at a little bit, they'll go along with that. 537 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: Next man man the Irish. The Irish can't drive. And 538 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 2: I said it out loud, well I finished strong. Next, 539 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: they deserve it during the States, during New York City, 540 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 2: what do they expect? They know as they crossed the line? 541 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 2: Some of this stuff absolutely not.

I really do 546 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 2: poop by your shirt? Why do you feel the need 547 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 2: to give him language? Abuse him? That's the awful. It's 548 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: a sign of respect. 549 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 3: Does he love them except during these couple of days? 550 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 2: It's too damn good.
