1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and Jackie and he

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Gatty. Can you give us any more sense

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: of who exactly in I run?

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: It is either.

7
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: Left? Yeah, we had.

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 4: I hate to say this in front of these young people.

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 4: They're not children that I spoke to, most of them.

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 4: They sound like adults to me, even though they are

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 4: sort of children, right, they'll always be your children.

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: But I hate to say it, but we killed all

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: their leadership.

14
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 4: And then they met to choose new leaders and we

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 4: killed all of them. And now we have a new

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 4: group and we can easily do that. But let's see

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: how they turn.

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: Out at O'Keefe a snooze talking to Donald Trump yesterday,

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: and this conversation gets more interesting, starting with the whole

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 2: it's all built around Trump saying we're negotiating, we're getting

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: close in Iran responding with we're not talking to anybody,

22
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: and then that whole thing. So Edie keep goes on,

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: what makes trust them?

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 4: I don't trust anybody. I don't trust you. I mean

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 4: that's only because I know you. But if I didn't know.

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: You'll probably have more trust. But I don't trust that.

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: Why do you Why do you say that?

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: Why do you say? What makes you trust? You? Think?

29
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: I trust them?

30
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 4: I don't trust them.

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wish he would have had at hand the

32
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan quote that is always so good. Oh, I trust, trust,

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: but verify, which is a very fancy way of saying

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: I don't trust you. I'm not going to say I

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: distrust you because it would be insulting, but I don't

36
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: I trust you. I just didn't need to be able

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: to verify your doing everything you say you're going to

38
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: do on a regular basis, because well, because I don't

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: trust you, Right, they go on by, they're.

40
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 4: Talking to me because they're going to make a deal.

41
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 4: that was amazing. Actually, they gave us a present and

43
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 4: the president arrived today. It was a very big present,

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 4: worth a tremendous amount of money. And I'm not going

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: to tell you what that present is, but it was

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 4: a very significant prize and they gave it to us,

47
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: and they said they were going to give it, so

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 4: that meant one thing to me. We'd deal with the

49
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: right people. No, it wasn't nuclear related. It was oil

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: and gas related, and it was a very nice thing

51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 4: they did. But what it showed me is that we're

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: dealing with the right people.

53
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: Had everybody wondering, what's the great present that Iran sent you,

54
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: like a set of lovely bookends or a pen or ah. Yeah,

55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

56
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 5: I can't get past how obnoxious at O'Keefe is, but

57
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 5: that's your department. Having been annoyed by him for an evening,

58
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 5: I was at a different table.

59
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: I sat next to him at a restaurant for several

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: hours and I found him unbelievably pompous. But I shouldn't

61
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: let that get in the way of this. But the question, well,

62
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: why even talk to them? Then? Yeah, that's a dumb question.

63
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: I think if you don't trust him, why negotiate with him,

64
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: Because you have to negotiate with everybody. You have to

65
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: negotiate with Putin and the war. You have to trust him. No,

66
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: I'll practically everybody negotiate with you don't trust because in

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: some deals you build in standards and sanctions and the

68
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: rest of it, so trust has nothing to do with it.

69
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: There are incentives and disincentives you jackass, right, But his

70
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: only goal at O'Keefe is to try to present Trump

71
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: his dumb or dufis or naive or whatever anyway. So

72
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: another question, different journalist kind of gets to what the

73
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: gift is that Iran gave us just the next clip

74
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: fifty four red Flow.

75
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was related to the flow and to the strait.

76
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: It was negotiating on who's going to control the straight from.

77
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: Now on, we'll have control of anything we want. Look,

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: if we can end this without more lives being done,

79
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 4: without knocking out ten billion dollar electric plants at a

80
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: brand new and the apple of their eye, I'd like

81
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 4: to be able to do that, you know, but they

82
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 4: can't have certain things.

83
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you know the things. I don't have to

84
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: go over the list.

85
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: But again it starts with no nuclear weapons and they've

86
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 4: agreed to that.

87
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: So Oran came out yesterday and said that non hostile vessels,

88
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: including those belonging to are associated with other states countries,

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: may may go through the Strait of horror moves. And

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: then they also said that they are not negotiating with

91
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: us because and here's the quote, our first and last

92
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: word has been the same from day one, and it

93
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: will stay that way. Someone like us will never come

94
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: to terms with someone like you, not now, not ever.

95
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: That's what Haran said, which leads you to this. Former

96
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: CIA director John Brennan was on MS Now yesterday and

97
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: asked about whether Trump says that we're negotiating, Iran says

98
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: we're not, and the former CIA director said, well, I

99
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump,

100
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 2: which is just dandy. He ought to be in jail

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: for perjury now. I realize Donald Trump once said I

102
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 2: believe Russia over our intelligence. That was a horrible thing

103
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: to say. He should have never said it, which we

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: kicked him for it, kicked him that day for it

105
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: because thats a terrible thing for Trump to say. But

106
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 2: the former CIA director shouldn't go on cable news and

107
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: say I believe Iran, Iran of all countries, I believe Iran,

108
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: not the president. What is it? Where are we as

109
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: a country now where that's the sort of conversations we have.

110
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: That is a prostitute.

111
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 5: He works for the network whipping up anti Trump fervor,

112
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 5: and he will perform any act that will do that. Well,

113
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 5: I'm going to betraying the truth betraying his vows, betraying

114
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 5: his country.

115
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: Well, and I'm sure their audience just loved it. Oh,

116
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: I know exactly he's doing his job. Michael Clips sixty. Please,

117
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: this is an Iranian American journalist.

118
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 6: I would not believe that Ryanni regime, and never I

119
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 6: have never in all the work I've ever done of

120
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 6: their own regime, they do nothing but lie through their teeth.

121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 6: So I don't believe that when they say that there

122
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 6: are no talks because they're supporters, which are twenty percent

123
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 6: of the country, want to see the regime pummel the

124
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 6: United States and Israel. So yeah, I believe talks are happening,

125
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 6: and I.

126
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: Think Trump is leaving.

127
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, Brandon, shove that up your lion. Hind Anduida unbelievable.

128
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: I hope I never become so partisan that I would

129
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 2: root for in Iran or a Russia or a China

130
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: over who's president because I don't like the president. I

131
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: hope I never get that partisan. I don't know how

132
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: you get that way, eh boy, Yeah, I don't get it.

133
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 5: A couple of kind of counterintituitive pieces of journalism here

134
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 5: an odd juxtaposition. This is from The Wall Street Journal

135
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 5: the oil supply crunch is spreading from the Gulf to

136
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 5: the rest of the world. For a glimpse of how

137
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: much higher energy prices could still soar, look to beyond

138
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 5: the West Texas Intermediate brand blah blah blah, at the

139
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 5: center of the supply squeeze in the Middle East, traders

140
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: are paying an eye watering one hundred and sixty dollars

141
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: a barrel for the Emeradi oil that can dodge the

142
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 5: Strait of horm moves far above those global benchmarks. And

143
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 5: they make the point that because the world economy is

144
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 5: interrelated and some of our allies use Gulf oil and

145
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 5: and Asian countries blah blah blah fertilizer blah blah blah,

146
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 5: that would be pretty expensive and the right it would be,

147
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 5: but eye watering one hundred and sixty dollars a barrel.

148
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 5: Now here's Brett Stevens, who is the token conservative in

149
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 5: the New York Times editorial pages. Most Americans probably don't

150
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 5: look back at March twenty twelve, if they remembered it

151
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 5: at all. And I think of terrifyingly high gas prices

152
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 5: in the month when the Hunger Games ruled the box

153
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 5: office and President Barack Obama was on his way to

154
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 5: a comfortable re election. The price of brint crude closed

155
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: the month at around one hundred and twenty three dollars

156
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: a barrel. That would be about one hundred and seventy

157
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 5: five dollars a barrel in today's dollars, and as of Tuesday,

158
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 5: despite around's effective closure of the state of Hormus and

159
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 5: it's attack on neighbor's energy of facilities, it's hovering around

160
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 5: one hundred dollars, slightly higher than the average inflation adjusted

161
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 5: price since January of oh one, which is roughly ninety

162
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 5: five dollars.

163
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, as I mentioned the other day, one hundred bucks

164
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: is about seventy nine in your pre pandemic numbers. So

165
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: I don't understand any economics discussions that don't include numbers

166
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: adgested for inflation. Their clickbait, their interest bait. Now, when

167
00:08:53,520 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: you do it with a movie, box office or athlete salaries,

168
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: this is the highest anybody's ever been paid to do this,

169
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: or the most money a movie's ever made. Fine, go ahead,

170
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you're just trying to sell an entertainment product,

171
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: but it's a lie. Also, you're not adjusting for inflation.

172
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: But if you're gonna do it around important statistics like

173
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: the price of oil and whether or not we're gonna

174
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: have a worldwide recession and that sort of stuff, come on,

175
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: you're just you're not doing your job. Yeah, it's funny.

176
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: I actually do remember that period, weirdly enough, because I

177
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 5: decided to get into not day trading exactly, but individual

178
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 5: stock trading. And I decided to get into the sector

179
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 5: I was going to concentrate on was oil exploration stock,

180
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 5: and gas prices just kept going up, or oil prices,

181
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 5: I should say, just up, up, up, up up, And

182
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 5: I was starting to think I was a genius. But

183
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 5: I remember where those prices were because of those stocks,

184
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 5: And yeah, we're energy has gotten significantly less expensive, way

185
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 5: less expensive in general, other than at the moment.

186
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 2: So yeah, again it's just clickbait. So oil is significantly

187
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 2: less expensive than twenty twelve a year, you don't even remember,

188
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 2: is anybody going to click on the following headline oil

189
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: surges to slightly more expensive than average over the last

190
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: twenty five years. No, nobody would click on that. Well,

191
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: and then there's political advantages too, sure, so you got

192
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,359
Speaker 2: the media clickbait advantage. And then you've got the political advantages.

193
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: Trump has gotten us into a terrible situation where bogged

194
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: down and oil is so expensive.

195
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 5: All right, this is my worst transition ever. These lying journalists.

196
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 5: I'd like to break into their homes and throttle them,

197
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 5: but I can't. If they have simply Safe home security.

198
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 5: Well that's a good one, because the AI cameras outside

199
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 5: would recognize I was a threat. Then the live monitoring

200
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 5: agents would call the cops, turn on the spot light,

201
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 5: say hey, maniac, don't go in there, we're watching you.

202
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: Right, Simply Safe is so much better. Mar I am

203
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: hiding behind a bush and Edo keeps backyard and his

204
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 2: cameras spot me. Think in today's the day he gets it,

205
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: simply camry. Thing is that the guy I had lunch

206
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 2: with that one time. But luckily okaepe has or could

207
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: have active out go active guard outdoor protection from simply Safe.

208
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 2: And I got the sensors and the cameras and everything

209
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: in my house. It's so great. And you don't have

210
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: a long term contract with simply Safe. They earn your

211
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: business every day. Yeah, are you like me?

212
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 5: You had a long term contract with an expensive security

213
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 5: system that was garbage. Simply Safe is way better and

214
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 5: way less expensive.

215
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 2: Called right now? Are you good?

216
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 5: Folks can get fifty dollars off your new simply safe system.

217
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 5: It's simply safe dot com slash armstrong. That's simply safe

218
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 5: dot com slash armstrong. Check it out. There's no safe

219
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 5: like simply safe. Oh we're still talking.

220
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: We well you are die now I'm talking as well.

221
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 2: I want to talk about baseball. Baseball starts tonight, but

222
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: they got a new wrinkle. They got computers that are

223
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 2: going to call balls and strikes sometimes.

224
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 5: Interestingly, I have a brief note on how save metrics

225
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 5: data is ruining basketball.

226
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: Interesting also, Yeah, so stay tuned for all that and

227
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: other things stick around.

228
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 7: I wasn't expecting it. I was like, why is he

229
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 7: coming out here? And he got on the mound and

230
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 7: told me I made the Team's pretty cool. I mean honestly,

231
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 7: I thought I was getting taken out of the game.

232
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 7: I didn't know what was going on. Obviously, whenever the

233
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 7: manager comes out are you're usually done. He just came

234
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 7: up and told me I made the team, and everybody

235
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 7: just said congrats. Caught me totally off guard. Went through

236
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 7: a lot of hard times a few years ago. I

237
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 7: never would have expected this. Looking back, I'm glad I

238
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 7: kept my head down and kept hammering away.

239
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: Pretty special. Wow, that had to be quite a moment.

240
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: Then he struck out the last guy and he was done. Yeah.

241
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 5: I saw the play by play when the manager came

242
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 5: out in the infield came around and the manager walked

243
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: up to the picture and like he said, any pitcher

244
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 5: knows what to expect. And the manager said, hey, you

245
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 5: made the opening opening day roster, and all of his

246
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 5: teammates smiled big and clapped him on the back and

247
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 5: all and he was trying to suppress you know, the

248
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 5: biggest GrITT he's ever had in his life. Is really

249
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 5: sweet moment, kind of a fun idea by the manager.

250
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: Well, because we ruin everything is the way we do

251
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: things ever since the TV era began in Major League Baseball,

252
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 2: up until a few years ago, opening day men, every

253
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 2: baseball team played and everybody who's rooting for the team,

254
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: and it was kind of a kickoff of spring and

255
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: it was kind of a cool thing. But of course

256
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: we got to ruin stuff like that. So now the

257
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: games come out drips and drabs to a certain extent.

258
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: First game is tonight, Netflix first ever Netflix game Yankees

259
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: at Giants. He got Aaron Judge playing eighty miles from

260
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 2: where he grew up in Uba City or whatever. And

261
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: then he got hometoime hero Logan Web who's also from

262
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: northern California, as a picture for the Giants. Pretty cool,

263
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: but it's a Netflix thing. If you don't have Netflix,

264
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: you don't get to see the game, and it's the

265
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: only game and whatever. More interesting thing is they're going

266
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: to have computers calling balls and strikes if you ask

267
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: for it. So you get a couple per game where

268
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: you get to say, either the pitcher, the catcher or

269
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 2: the batter can tap their helmet and say, wait a second,

270
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: that wasn't a ball or it wasn't a strike. And

271
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: then they go to the computer. First of all, are

272
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: you in favor of that or not? I have really

273
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: mixed like anything that slows down the game. I don't

274
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: quite understand if they think the computer is more accurate.

275
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: Why you didn't just leap to having the computer do

276
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: all the pitches? What is that?

277
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,239
Speaker 5: Oh, there are all sorts of issues from bargaining agreements

278
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 5: and unions to.

279
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: Oh, it would just take too long. It's complicated. But

280
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: doesn't that but from a making sense standpoint, aren't you

281
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: just declaring by having the computers, the computers can get

282
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: right all the time.

283
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 5: We've just chosen not to. Part of it is it

284
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 5: would so change the game. It would shock baseball fans

285
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 5: to see how much change is the game for the

286
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 5: weirdly unspoken strike zone to become the technical strike zone.

287
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 5: Well here they don't want to do that all of

288
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 5: a sudden.

289
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: Here's what they learned, boy, in the strike zone thing

290
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: I just heard I read about that. It's interesting. So

291
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: rather than like chest to the knees or whatever you

292
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 2: learned in the Little league, it's thirty two point four

293
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: percent of your height and blah blah blah that the

294
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: computer uses, but which obviously you couldn't calculate as a

295
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: human being to that degree. One thing they found in preseason, though,

296
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: is the catchers were right more often by far than

297
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: the pictures of the batters, just because of the angle

298
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: they have or whatever. So, yeah, batters and pictures challenging

299
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: it didn't go as well as catchers, but it was

300
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: just barely over fifty percent of the time that they

301
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: the umpire got the call wrong. So there's two ways

302
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: you could look at it. I was listening to NPR

303
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: and they said, so, it didn't really make much difference,

304
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: And I thought so half the time the umpire got

305
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: it wrong. That sounds significant to me.

306
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 5: Well, keep in mind, though, it is in the couple

307
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 5: of times, one or two times per game, that the

308
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 5: players believed it was the most egregious right miss call

309
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 5: of the game. Half the time it was a strike

310
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 5: or a ball.

311
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: Half the time they got all right, but half the

312
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: time they didn't. So I don't know. I would imagine

313
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: it's going to grow from here. Over time, though, wouldn't

314
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: you guess that it grows from twice a game to

315
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: more often?

316
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: Oh?

317
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah, I preferget.

318
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: I don't like anything that slows down any games. I

319
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: don't care if it's more accurate. I'm not one of

320
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: those as long as they get the calls right. I

321
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: don't take if it takes an hour of replay. I

322
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: am not that person at all. I want the games

323
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: to just go. And it was fine. I watched in

324
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: my whole life. I enjoyed the games, and my life

325
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: was not ruined by the occasional bad call. We yelled

326
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: about the umps. It was part of it. Yeah, are

327
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: the refs or whatever. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see

328
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: how that works tonight. I would hate it as an empire.

329
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 5: I think, uh yeah, well they do because their industry

330
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 5: is going away. They'll just have to stand back there

331
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 5: and assess whether it was a foul tip and whether

332
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: somebody gets tagged out or forced out at the plate,

333
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 5: and it's going to be a completely different line of work.

334
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: Most of your other baseball teams play tomorrow. If you

335
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: don't have Netflix, you don't get to watch the game tonight.

336
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: That's going to make some people angry. Netflix only has

337
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: three games the entire season, but they have the opening game.

338
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 5: We're out of time to do the other NBA thing

339
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 5: I was going to talk about, but maybe we can

340
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 5: talk about that later, how data sabermetrics has kind of

341
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 5: ruined the NBA squeeze that in later.

342
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: Maybe fit that in with all kinds of prop betting

343
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: that's going on that is a problem, including like government policy.

344
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: That's really a problem. Armstrong and Getty.

345
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 8: We turn out of a mystery in the oil markets

346
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 8: and the suspicion that some people are getting very rich

347
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 8: by trading on inside the information. In the minutes before

348
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 8: President Trump's announcement Monday that the US would postpone strikes

349
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 8: against Iranian energy targets, traders suddenly bet hundreds of millions

350
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 8: of dollars on oil prices falling, which is exactly what

351
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 8: they did.

352
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: Huh. I'll be darned. So this happened, and it's getting

353
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: surprisingly little attention, which I think is a problem. I

354
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: think because the whole country feels the way I feel

355
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: about it. Of Course, that happened, It's always happened, it's

356
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: always gonna happen, and there's nothing I can do about it,

357
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: which your both parties are doing it all the time,

358
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: which really isn't good. That were that cynical and just

359
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: accept the beating that we take from the rich and

360
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: connected who somehow were alerted to the fact that Trump

361
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: was about to go out and make an announcement that

362
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: was going to make oil jump up. Here's Jill and

363
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: CBS handled this in a very soft way. This is

364
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 2: the new Berry Weiss CBS, where you don't just come

365
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: out and call the president a liar or whatever, you know,

366
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: like other networks do. Hasn't helped them in the yet,

367
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 2: but anywhere. Here's Jill Sleschinger their business woman on CBS

368
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: explaining how this how odd this is?

369
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: Well, I think the most important thing in what stands

370
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: out is that we saw a surge of trading activity.

371
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: So if you look at this at six forty nine

372
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: to six fifty one, there is this circle there that's

373
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: a big jump up in activity. And then soon after

374
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: we see the price of oil at the top and

375
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: then it drops by ten percent literally in minutes fifteen

376
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: minutes before this non public information.

377
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 8: Is out, So somebody might have known something a little

378
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 8: too early.

379
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: It does appear that way, and why we care about

380
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: this is that is not considered public information and someone

381
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: seems to know it, and that's illegal, Tony. I mean,

382
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: that's the issue, is that this is essentially insider trading.

383
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: That was a pretty gentle way of handling it, because

384
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: it's obvious that there was insider training going on. Obviously.

385
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a great story not long ago, and

386
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 5: I referenced it a couple of times. I never really

387
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 5: read anything the show, but the point of it was

388
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 5: intelligence agencies around the world are watching the poly markets,

389
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: prediction markets because politicians in every never I was saying,

390
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 5: both parties are doing politicians in every country around the

391
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 5: world are trading on insider information on these prediction markets,

392
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 5: and the stock market is essentially a prediction market, so

393
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 5: everybody's doing it everywhere, insider information. Blah blah blah. This

394
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 5: is why you limit the size of government. But I've

395
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 5: lost that fight, so I'm graciously accepting defeat.

396
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: I think as a country that a lot of people

397
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 2: are like I said, or where I am, you recognize that, Yeah,

398
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: rich connected people get to do this. I don't get

399
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 2: to do it. There's nothing I can do about it.

400
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: If I dwell on it, I'll be less happy. So

401
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 2: I think I'll just forget about it. That's very, very,

402
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: very sane of you. Yes, I think. I mean it sucks.

403
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: It sucks a lot, and I don't know how you'd

404
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 2: ever get rid of it, because even if if you

405
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: get like Elizabeth Warren's, people in Congress aren't allowed to

406
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: trade stock, which I'm fine with. I don't know if

407
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: it's constitutional, but I'm fine with that or any stock

408
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 2: with any committee that they're involved in that industry. Hold on,

409
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: I'm about to sney.

410
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 5: Oh oh oh, it's a soul trying to escape. According

411
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 5: to Middle Ages popes.

412
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: I got it. HPM RV or whatever it is that's

413
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: going around MSRP. Even if you got Elizabeth Warren thing

414
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: through where you can't trade on stocks as long as

415
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: you're in Congress or whatever, you can't stop them from

416
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: calling their wives or their husbands or their kids or

417
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 2: where you're mean to be a pop for other than law. Right.

418
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was thinking the Biden family really set a

419
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 5: pace in their obvious you know, insider information dealing, influence pedaling,

420
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 5: the rest of it. And I yelled about it like

421
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 5: a lot of people did. The truth is the Trump

422
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 5: family has taken is it doesn't do that per se,

423
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 5: but they've made zillion dollars based on Hey Dad, what's

424
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 5: gonna happen tomorrow?

425
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well yeah, and again everybody everywhere is doing this.

426
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 3: Now.

427
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah that that that is. That is true. But on

428
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: this one it was so much. It was so broad,

429
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 2: I mean, and all these people minutes before he makes

430
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: the announcement, all the trading going on, I mean, is

431
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: very kind of Jill Sushionser and Tony Deakopa to act

432
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: like it's an open question on what they're not. There's

433
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: insider trading happening, and it's probably bipartisan it's probably spread

434
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: out among all kinds of different people they got the

435
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: tip on that. I'll tell you what, I'm a really

436
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: honest guy. It'd be pretty damn hard if I knew

437
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 2: there was about to be a giant announcement that's gonna

438
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: affect this drug or that oil price or whatever electric

439
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 2: vehicles and just keep it to myself. It'd be pretty

440
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: hard to do, right, to not say to you know,

441
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: tell you what, might I want to dump that ev

442
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: stock we got before Tuesday? Just saying you do that too?

443
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 5: Three times and they owe you an enormous favor and

444
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 5: they pay back that favor someday. So it's like we

445
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 5: were talking about the Epstein network. People are obsessed with

446
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 5: the sex stuff. It was an insider trading network and

447
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 5: the guy at the center of it happened to be

448
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 5: a PERV. Yeah I know, yeah, well born into the

449
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 5: wrong family, stupid working class.

450
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: I really don't know that there's anything you can do

451
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 2: about this. Try to keep it to as much of

452
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: a minimum as you can.

453
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, Why did you set up a

454
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 5: rule and then give me thirty seconds to get around it?

455
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: Right? I don't know if this is policeable in any

456
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: meaningful way. Maybe just maybe the best you can do

457
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: is have the news do what they did. We're aware

458
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: of this. Just let you know we're aware of it.

459
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: Sit well, and the Wall Street Titans are like, yeah,

460
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: we don't care. But I just don't get too greedy,

461
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 2: I guess, or don't push it too far. Don't think

462
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 2: we're not paying any attention. I guess that's all you

463
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: can do. Yeah, yeah, A final note from me.

464
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 5: I am, as you know, a huge fan of the

465
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 5: free market, and I despise capitalism or communism, socialism, so

466
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 5: much of this sort of thing that is decried. As

467
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,239
Speaker 5: you see, this is the problem with capitalism. This is

468
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 5: crony capitalism. It's the opposite of a free market with

469
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 5: the free flow of information. It's the very very powerful

470
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 5: who have a serious role in business. It's the government

471
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 5: business nexus. That's where things get perverse.

472
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: I'd like to know how that information got out so

473
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 2: Trump knows he's going to go out and give that speech.

474
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 2: Wouldn't be a whole lot of other people that know that, though,

475
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 2: I wouldn't think. Well, it's like the uh, well, it's

476
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: like any viral phenomenon, including word of mouth recommendation, I

477
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 2: have three people on going to call. They each have

478
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: three people they're trying to call, etc. Yeah. So if

479
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 2: you had Marco Rubio's crowd, Pete Hegza's crowd, Trump's crowd,

480
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: and all the staff involved, that'd probably be three figures

481
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: at least. Right, did the Gang of Eight get briefed

482
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: on this? Yeah? There you go. Now you're up to

483
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 2: several hundred people with the staffers that would be aware

484
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: of it, each of whom has friends. And you're some

485
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 2: staffer making I don't know, sixty five thousand dollars a

486
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: year make working eighty hours a week for Mike Johnson

487
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 2: and you find out that this is going to happen.

488
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 5: And you're worth three point eight million dollars in your salary. Yeah, gee,

489
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 5: what's going on there? And they must be a real savior.

490
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 5: They strengthened, They say, its very admirable, the real savor.

491
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: Anyway, that happened and it will continue to happen for

492
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 2: all of eternity and everyone knows it. That's right. Marjorie

493
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: Taylor Green Margie Well, that discouraged me, that sat my

494
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: will to live, was that your purpose was that what

495
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: you were trying to do it wasn't actually, because like

496
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: I said, I think we've all just made our peace

497
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: with it. Yeah, the connected get to do this and

498
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: I don't. And Bengo, thanks Michael, I lived to my spirits.

499
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,479
Speaker 2: That was good. Ah the old man. Don't we all

500
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: miss Joe Biden. But that's how you get care, that's

501
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: how you get there. Like Joe Biden, I wonder how

502
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: long he was in DC before he started doing that,

503
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 2: before he looked around and said, what, thousands and thousands

504
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 2: of people are taking advantage of the system we have

505
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to in a way that can

506
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: help my family for all of eternity. I'd be a schmuck,

507
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 2: is probably what you come to convince yourself. Uh huh. Yeah,

508
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: your buddy at the Department of Labor, Hey, us Steel's

509
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 2: gonna lay off like fifteen thousand people whoo to make

510
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: a trade.

511
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 5: Right over and over and over again. Or your brother

512
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 5: in law does it for you or what have you.

513
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: So I was listened to the Dispatch podcast the other

514
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: day and they started with talking about sports gambling around

515
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: March Madness really and just how much of it is

516
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: done and how it has affected sports because we've got

517
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: the stories from the last couple of years of major

518
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: league pictures throwing the balls trade into the ground, or

519
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 2: college basketball players, you know, shooting a free thrown that

520
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: goes over the backboard or whatever because they were involved

521
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 2: in some of the trading. But there are all these

522
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: prop bets now on like governmental policy that you can

523
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 2: get involved in. Will Maduro be removed from office, or

524
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: will we attack Iran or stuff like that. And there's

525
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: the real concern that if you can find a picture

526
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: who's willing to throw a baseball straight into the ground

527
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: because he's on the hook for some gambling debts, you're

528
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: not going to find some buddy in government who influences

529
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 2: policy direction or the other because of betting right almost

530
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: certainly guaranteed to happen. Came across the.

531
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 5: Report that there's this small time journalist, I think he's

532
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 5: based in Israel whose job was just to do the

533
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 5: little column on where a missile hit or whatever. And

534
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 5: and he there's an Iranian missile that got through and

535
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 5: caused like very minor damage in some town, and he

536
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 5: wrote up the little report, you know, page fourteen c

537
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 5: of the newspaper. He started getting death threats and offers

538
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 5: of bribes and we will ruin yous.

539
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: And blah blah blah.

540
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 5: Because some of the betting markets, the prediction markets, had

541
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 5: bets of whether there would be any missile strike that

542
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 5: got through in Israel on that day. Who knew you

543
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 5: could bet it on freaking anything these days you can.

544
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 5: So they were threatening his family, They were hitting him

545
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 5: with I know where your kids go to school, saying

546
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 5: you've got to retract that report and say it was

547
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 5: an error.

548
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: And so the question is is there anything that can

549
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 2: be done about this now that they're betting on everything?

550
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 2: I didn't know it was that specific bets on will

551
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: any missiles get through to Tel Aviv tonight? You can

552
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: bet on that. And then, of course the problem being

553
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: at some point, does it sway people's decisions or do

554
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: you you know I'm the guy who makes the decision. Anyway,

555
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: I might as well make some money off of this.

556
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: So I'm going to bet heavily and then fire the

557
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: missile off at seven pm. That sort of thing that's inevitable,

558
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: isn't it? Yeah? In one form or another? Yeah? Can

559
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:40,479
Speaker 2: anything be done about that? Pairaback legal gambling? No, this

560
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: didn't exist before? Or is this all because the Internet exists. Yeah,

561
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: that's a huge part of it. That is absolutely the

562
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: catalyst for so much evil.

563
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 5: I stick by my assessment that this ape has gotten

564
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 5: too smart for its own good, and we'll bring itself

565
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 5: to ruin.

566
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: You say that I was bringing people down. You end

567
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: the segment with we are bringing ourselves to ruin.

568
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 5: It's inevitable. Okay, humanity is on the way out. Yeah,

569
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 5: I'm at peace. I'm an old guy.

570
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: There is no good luck. There's no other radio show,

571
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: TV show or podcasts that talks this way. Oh that's true.

572
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm strong. Oh oh oh, the most depressing radio show

573
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: there's There's nobody offering this product anywhere. I guess that

574
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: makes us unique. We've got our own niche market. Oh yeah, exactly. Yeah.

575
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: Hey do you listen to that show that brings down

576
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: every single damn day? Oh?

577
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 5: I love them? Coming up yoga trend or parody. In

578
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 5: recent days, we've brought you snake Yoga, Legit, Portland, sword

579
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 5: Yoga in New York. I will present a new yoga trend.

580
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 5: Is it real or parody? It's getting harder and harder

581
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 5: to tell.

582
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: I don't know how we could possibly know that. And

583
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: other stuff on the way Armstrong, Hetty. Here is Katie

584
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: Green to set up what we are about to hear.

585
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: So, this guy is standing at a crosswalk and is

586
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: approached by a Mingo food delivery robot, which proceeds to

587
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: ask him to hit the crosswalk button for him.

588
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: All right, huh, hello, what do you want? What do

589
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: you want? You want me to press the button for you?

590
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 2: You want me to press the button for your Mingo?

591
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 8: You press it yourself, and you took a human job

592
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 8: and you want me.

593
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: To press the button for you. No, hello, cu excuse you,

594
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: you excuse you. I'm oppressing nothing. You press it, go yourself.

595
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: The relationship between human and artificial intelligence, rocky.

596
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: And then he and then he crosses the street and

597
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: just leaves the robot there.

598
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 2: He goes the other way.

599
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 5: These intentions clear, i'd say, angrily shouting obscenities. It a

600
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 5: robot is proof that you need to relax. Perhaps you

601
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 5: should consider yoga. Now, Katie, you're part of the committee.

602
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 5: This is you will vote okay. This is Joe Getty's

603
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 5: yoga trend or parody. I used to be a mess.

604
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 5: I'm reading from a woman's account. What's her name?

605
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: Elena High?

606
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 5: Stress, corporate job, endless deadlines, a diet consisting of sad

607
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 5: desk salads and existential dread. My body ache, my mind raised,

608
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 5: my soul felt as empty as the gluten free bread isle.

609
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 5: Then when ordinary Tuesday, while stress eating a turkey club

610
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 5: in my kitchen, I accidentally struck something that was similar

611
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 5: to the tree pose while reaching for the mustard. Blah

612
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 5: blah blah, I had discovered sandwich yoga. What is sandwich yoga.

613
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 5: It's the mindful practice of combining ancient yoga postures with

614
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 5: the sacred act of holding and eventually eating a sandwich.

615
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 5: The core philosophy is life is a sandwich, a delicious,

616
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 5: layered experience best savored one mindful bite at a time.

617
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 5: And the virtues of sandwich yoga include balance in every layer,

618
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 5: mindful consumption, stress, release with zero equipment, and community and
