I was rooting for the Blue Jays, 14 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: as I stated, But it was a tremendously fun sporting event. 15 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: For seven games. Those are the more fun of watching 16 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: sports I've had in my wife, really enjoy the whole thing. 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: And a Game seven that is not only a Game seven, 18 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: but cohost extra innings. Are you kidding? Man? Hardly get 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: any better than that. That was a good time. 20 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: And then of course La did what La does and 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: rioted like crazy that night and destroyed all sorts of 22 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: property that taxpayers will pay for. Why we put up 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: with this? I'll never ever in my life understand why 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: we've decided. Well, you're excited, so I guess if you 25 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: take millions of taxpayer dollars destroying public property, that's just 26 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: you know, people being people, and the. 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: Cost of enforcing the law would be too much. It'd 28 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: be too nasty, too bloody, too expensive, So we'll just 29 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: let people run rampant. Yeah, it's a great example. And 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: there are so many of the very very thin line, 31 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: the fragile line between civilization and chaos, and yet especially 32 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: as a young having grown up in civilization their entire lives, 33 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: think well, they could never go away. 34 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: We're in today, thirty four of the shutdown. Today, if 35 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: we have tomorrow we tie the record or set the record. Anyway, 36 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 2: we're getting close to an all time records. 37 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: That's very, very exciting. 38 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: And then there's some sort of court ruling that came 39 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: out over the weekend that the Trump administration has to 40 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: come up with money for the snap benefits. And I 41 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 2: don't know where that one stands AnyWho. I was in 42 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: a religious setting over the weekend and a woman actually 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: said it's hard to believe there is a god. 44 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: With the government shut down going on, hard to believe 45 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: there's a brain in your skull, sweetheart. That's show. Not Jack. 46 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 2: Jack much more diplomatic, actually said that. I thought, Wow, 47 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: I don't feel it at quite that level. Come on, now, 48 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: that was the Babylon b No, it was a parody. 49 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: No, I am not kidding. Good gracious, I. 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: Know so different people are looking at it in different ways. Well, 51 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: I was looking at the polling on this, a couple 52 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 2: of polls that came out over the weekend, and the 53 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 2: percentage of people who are highly worried about this, it's 54 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 2: like eighty percent people that say they were being affected 55 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: by it. Was three quarters three quarters of people affected 56 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: by this government shutdown. 57 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: No way, three quarters. That can't be. That seems like 58 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: a stretch to me. I am not highly worried about it. 59 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 2: I would put myself at barely remembering that it's happening, 60 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: and in terms of it affecting my life zero so far. Yeah. 61 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: I was saying that the doctor who was removing my kidney, 62 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: my second kidney, because I've sold them both to try 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: to get me through the government shutdown. I was telling 64 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: them I don't feel like it's affected me very much, 65 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: and he agreed. I kid, I haven't heard anybody talking 66 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: about it in the context of actually affecting their lives. No, 67 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: in my real life, now that I think about it, 68 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: I'm not denying it has in some ways. You know, 69 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: we've heard from various folks who are government contractors or 70 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: have well, you know, work tangentially with the government and 71 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: or government employees. I'm not saying nobody's affected by it, 72 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: but that number stretches my credulity. I do have a 73 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: friend in government who's constantly sending me pictures from her 74 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: various hikes and trips that she's been taking during government shutdown, 75 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: during her WOW vacation. 76 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: Here we sit in which suckers in private sector suckers 77 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: in which she will get paid at the end of 78 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: this thing, for the for the weeks that you know 79 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: you didn't get paid. Now, if you're paycheck to paycheck 80 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: and you missed a paycheck, obviously that is a that is. 81 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: A really really big deal and would be really really tough. 82 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: I mean, there are many years of my life where 83 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 2: if I had had to miss a paycheck, it would 84 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: have been quite sucky. I would have been scrambling to 85 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: try to figure out how I was gonna make that 86 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: month work. But three quarters of people seems a lie. 87 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, where'd that number come from? 88 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: Again? 89 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 2: One of the many polls that came out over the week, 90 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 2: and a lot of them were in that area. I 91 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: would say it was prevailing the prevailing wisdom over the weekend. 92 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: Well, given the unbelievable metastasizing of a lot of social 93 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: programs where, for instance, there's a free what was the 94 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: proposal I was looking at? Oh, it was Obamacare subsidies 95 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: that go to people up to four times the poverty level, 96 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: which is one hundred and five thousand dollars for a 97 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: family of three in earnings per year. If you have 98 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 1: government largess going out to that enormous a group of people, 99 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: I suppose maybe more of that than many people are 100 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: at least feeling a little pinch. 101 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: Three quarters and eighty percent of people are very concerned. 102 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: Am I that out of touch with the world? 103 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: Either that or I'd love to see the actual wording 104 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: of the poll questions, But it seems pretty Straightfor I 105 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: don't know. 106 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 2: I have family and friends of all socioeconomic levels, and 107 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: nobody seems to be the least bit concerned. 108 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, I am astounded by that number. Man. 109 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: Anyway, So then you got the mayoral race tomorrow, A 110 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: bunch of races tomorrow which are not bell weathers. 111 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: Are freaking anything. 112 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: God, if there's one narrative I'm tired of in my 113 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: life in the world of politics, it's any time there's 114 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: a an election anywhere in the country, them trying to convince. 115 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: You that this has got serious national significance. 116 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is a 117 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: preview of the midterms whatever that anyway, Oh my goodness, 118 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: shall Anyway, the one that is clearly the most interesting 119 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: and has the most likelihood of being a bellweather of 120 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: something is clearly the New York mayoral race and whether 121 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: or not that's the direction that party is going to go. 122 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: And I was listened to uh buh who was having 123 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: this on him.

That's the biggest divide in mom. Donnie's 126 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 2: big lead there, which has shrunk in the polls, but 127 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: he's still going to win. The big divide his age 128 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: with the younger not believing in capitalism to the extent 129 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: that older generations do idiots and not liking Israel in 130 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 2: the way that older generations have. The capitalism thing, that's 131 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 2: a big deal. That's a big deal. If we have 132 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: sweeping in in a generation that doesn't believe in capitalism, 133 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: that's a big deal. 134 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, man, we are generation generation before asleep at 135 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: the switch as education was taken over by radicals. Man, 136 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: this was one of the most successful ideologagical captures. Maybe 137 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: the history of mankind makes Mao's Red Guard look. I mean, 138 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: that was overt It was done openly. The perversion of 139 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: the minds of American kids was done covertly in the 140 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: schoolhouses where we assume they were being taught to read, write, 141 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: and do math, you know, as test scores kept telling 142 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: us they weren't. We just thought they were doing a 143 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: crappy job, but what they were supposed to do. We 144 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: didn't realize they were doing something completely different. Yeah, And 145 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: I think it's probably like. 146 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,679 Speaker 2: Sleeping on your marriage or a relationship with your kids, 147 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: or maybe your job and things that you think, you know, 148 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: it's going so well, it's been going. 149 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: So well for so long. I don't need to even 150 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: think about that much. Anymore, and it was. 151 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: Of course, this is a settled question whether or not 152 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: capitalism free markets are better, whether democracies are better, and 153 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: whether or not we're a good country. These are settled questions. 154 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: There's no reason to revisit bad I mean, come on, 155 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: that's ridiculous. I think that's where we were. 156 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: Right, That's absolutely true, undred percent. 157 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: And uh, we're about to get our come up on 158 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: tomorrow when a whole generation gets excited about a freaking cop. 159 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: Well Trump called him a communist last night on sixty minutes. 160 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: Fine, close enough, yeah, close enough is right, especially because 161 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: Marxists have for the entire history of Marxism known they 162 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 2: have to pretend to be something else since that practically 163 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,119 Speaker 2: one of their trade marks. 164 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: Is no Marxist Marxism.

The Trump administration argued it can't legally use 329 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 5: emergency funds. 330 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: So depending on how that whole thing turns out. 331 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: And that's, of course, assuming the shutdown still going on 332 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: by Wednesday, which I think most experts think it will be, 333 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 2: and that'll make it the longest shut down in US history. 334 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: I feel like that. 335 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 2: While it's kind of being portrayed as a like gotcha 336 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 2: to the Republicans, I feel like it's going to delay 337 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: any pressure on the right to cave on the whole 338 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: shutdown if they because that's the biggest leverage over the 339 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 2: last several weeks anyway. So that benefits the poor, the hungry, 340 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 2: starving people starving, is the point, Gavin Newsom said. And 341 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 2: then if they have to continue with that, okay, then 342 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 2: what's your what's your leverage now? Flying We just got 343 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: a text from somebody who said they flew to Boston 344 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: back from the West Coast. They had no delays and 345 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: they never heard anybody bring it up in the airports 346 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 2: or anywhere at all. 347 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: The shutdown thing. 348 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: Again getting to my confusion overpolling that shows eighty percent 349 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 2: of Americans are highly concerned about the shot. 350 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: But now, really, I don't feel that. But now I 351 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: gotta call horsecrap on that. Sorry, horsecrap. Yeah, I'm calling 352 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: that to manure. I just I can't imagine that to 353 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: be true. Of course, you got the media telling you 354 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: every day. 355 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 2: If you take in any media at all, the mainstream 356 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: media telling you that it is a crisis, whether you're 357 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: feeling it in your life or not, that might affect 358 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 2: some people. You wouldn't even my contention, as the vast 359 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 2: majority of people wouldn't even know it was happening. If 360 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: the news wasn't telling you, you should be concerned about 361 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 2: it on a regular basis. Breaking news ish happened Yesterday. 362 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 2: Trump said he will not be attending the Supreme Court 363 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 2: oral arguments on Wednesday. The Supreme Court is going to 364 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 2: have their arguments on Wednesday about whether or not he 365 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: has the power to start throwing all these tariffs around 366 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 2: and roiling the world economy as one guy. He's using 367 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: some emergency powers to do that. He said he is 368 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: going to go on Wednesday because it was such a 369 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,239 Speaker 2: big decision and sit there. Other people talked him down 370 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 2: and said it'll look bad and look like he's putting 371 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: pressure on the court and all that sort of thing. 372 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, other people meeting everyone, absolutely, everyone from Jadvans to Milania. 373 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: And Baron said, don't do that, So he tweeted out 374 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: our truth doubt. I will not be going to the 375 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 2: court on Wednesday. I do not want to distract from 376 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 2: the importance of this decision, and he went on to 377 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 2: say it will be, in my opinion, one of the 378 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: most important and consequential decisions ever made by the United 379 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: States Supreme Court. If we lose, our country could be 380 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 2: reduced to third world status. Pray to God that it 381 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 2: doesn't happen. 382 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: Well, that's ridiculous. I don't agree with that. 383 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 2: It's interesting. I don't know anything about this. But Mark 384 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 2: Alprin writes in his newsletter, even if the court rules 385 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 2: against him, there are many workarounds that Trump can use 386 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: to continue to tariff if he wants to. 387 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: Other different ways. I don't know anything about that. Yeah 388 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, yeah, I'm that is getting way way 389 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: into the weeds. But it's going to be a hell 390 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: of an interest in case, no doubt, if only because 391 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: we've already collected a ton of money in tariffs, not 392 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: as much as was predicted significantly, but a heck of 393 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: a lot and figuring out how to return that if 394 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: it turns out they were illegal, because I think we 395 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: probably would need to now that could cause quite the 396 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: fiscal crisis, as if we don't have one already. But 397 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: it's a huge case in a lot of different ways. 398 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: Number One, obviously the economic impact of it, because a 399 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: heck of a lot of money is trading hands. There's 400 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: the power of Trump to make trade deals right now, 401 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: and he's already made a bunch of them. Undoing that 402 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: would be just crazy economically and a little confusing. There's 403 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: the question of the status of the Court and its 404 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: willingness to become a hot, hot, hot political football and 405 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: specifically go up against a very dynamic president on a big, 406 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: big issue for him because the Court, you know, the 407 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: Court has to They don't talk about this much, but 408 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: they're supposed to be completely a political They just are 409 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: our Lady Justice blind with the scales and everything right. 410 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: But they're not idiots. 411 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 2: They understand that if there's a news Joe Getty says, 412 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court not idiots. 413 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 1: Most of them aren't idiots. I'd like to amend my comments, 414 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: mister Chairman, but this would be incredibly disruptive and really 415 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: really anger the executive branch. And so I've been trying 416 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: to read comprehensible theories by legal experts on you know, 417 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: how the court might maneuver a way to get the 418 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: result they know they need to without utter defiance, open defiance. 419 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 2: What an example of that being what John Roberts did 420 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 2: on Obamacare. It was a popular president signature legislation passed 421 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: by the by Congress, to like, went out of his 422 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 2: way to come up with a way that it was 423 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: legal to do that. 424 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not good, No, that was not good, but yes, 425 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: they might try to find a way to do that. 426 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny about this whole thing. Not funny 427 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: ha ha, but funny. Annoying is that if Congress would 428 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: do their damn jobs. This is a question for Congress. 429 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: They need to clarify the nineteen seventy seven Emergency Powers Law, 430 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: which is nothing about tariffs, nothing about tariffs whatsoever. It's 431 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: a stretch to think it includes tariffs. But you know, 432 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: they could clarify it tomorrow. Of course they can't because 433 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: the government shut down, which is affecting eighty two percent 434 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: of US. 435 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 2: I'll admit I was all excited about this ruling until 436 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 2: I read that there are workarounds that he could legally. 437 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: You know, it's like the Supreme Court shut down Biden 438 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 2: on bailing out the college kids, but he found other 439 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 2: ways to get around it, the other weird, different complicated laws. 440 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, but maybe that's good news in a way if 441 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: they can set the president that And I don't want 442 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: to get into the legal weeds into this, partly because 443 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm talking about. If they could 444 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: find a way for Trump to and Trump World to 445 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: accept the decision and have some face saving ways to 446 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: get around it at the edges, but at the same 447 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: time not giving the executive branch the uniality unilateral power 448 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: to tax if it has to do with imports, because 449 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: the Constitution never dreamed of that. It is not a 450 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: constitutional power of the president. It's imports. When when the 451 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: you know, George Washington was president, what percentage of the 452 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: the economy was imports? I don't know, but it was 453 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: definitely lower. So I don't I don't know. This is 454 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: a mess. Trump has gone too far and they're going 455 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: to rein him in, I think. But we'll say. What's 456 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: interesting about this is I've read conservative legal commentators and 457 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: it's it's a toss up, toss up rather, nobody knows 458 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: exactly which way it's going to go. 459 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: And then the Wall Street Journal article today that the 460 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: feared inflation from all the tariffs has not hit the 461 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: way it was expected to here in November. 462 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: Right, we would feel it in November. Part of that 463 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: is that companies thought, oh my god, and they stocked 464 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: up like crazy on goods. Plus, there are technical ways 465 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: you can get around the TERFF regulations. They have what 466 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: are called bonded warehouses, where if I'm an exporter in India, 467 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: I have these warehouses and I store goods in India, 468 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: but say these are in America now because they're all 469 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: going to America. So there they are imported already even 470 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: though they're still on Indian territory, and you got warehouses 471 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: full of those. Interesting to know about that today, honestly, Yeah, 472 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: So gosh, dang it complicated stuff anyway.

The 508 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: court evidently understands that this is a monster. This is 509 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: an eight hundred pound gorilla. 510 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 2: So they set a brisk schedule for the parties to 511 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 2: submit written briefs and present oral arguments, and they now 512 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 2: seem likely to rule swiftly rather than wait until the 513 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 2: end of the term next summer, which is the usual 514 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: practice for most of the Yeah, yeah, you can't wait 515 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 2: to June to say, by the way, all that tear 516 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 2: off stuff between the number one and number two economies 517 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 2: for the past year illegal. I mean, that'd be ridiculous, right. 518 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 2: You gotta announce it like Wednesday afternoon or whenever you 519 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 2: make your decision. 520 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: So you know, to me, the pivotal question in the 521 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,479 Speaker 1: case is this nineteen seventy seven law gave the president 522 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: certain tools to quote deal with any unusual and extraordinary 523 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: threat to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of 524 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: the United States. 525 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 2: Talking about the International Emergency Economics Powers. 526 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: Act, and that includes the power to quote regulate imports. 527 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: Lil vague, right, is we have a trade deficit as 528 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: a country with a gigantic consumer spending, you know, base 529 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: of our economy having a trade deficit. Is that an 530 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: unusual or an extraordinary threat? I say no, I see 531 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: understand this, Friends, understand I want to reign in the 532 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: wild powers of the executive branch because they're gonna be 533 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: in Democrat hands eventually, and with the Democratic Party swinging 534 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: to the left, you will praise God that the Supreme 535 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: Court existed when that lunatic, if they're elected, is in 536 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: the office. You'll be internally grateful that the Supreme Court 537 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: found its kahonas imported from Mexico, Oh Tiff. You'll be 538 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: thrilled that they had found their cojones and reigned in 539 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: executive power when that day comes. 540 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 2: That's right, cojones are forty percent more expensive because of tariffs. 541 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 2: Now the order them through the mail, want them fresh. 542 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: I find myself I got to choose between my rent 543 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: and my khonees, especially with the government shutdown. 544 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Gavin Newsom did a big interview yesterday on Meet 545 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 2: the Press. 546 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: I think it was did he actually say anything or 547 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: did he just string together a bunch of unrelated phrases. 548 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: He's good. 549 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: He's good in that politician good. He's horrible and good 550 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 2: and that politician sort of way. He's good at being 551 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 2: a politician. I don't understand why politicians get over the 552 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 2: way they do on people, because they're almost all full 553 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: of crap. But in terms of doing that sport that 554 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 2: is being a politician, he's pretty good at it. I 555 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 2: am not a dead mackerel at midnight. 556 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: He shines and he stinks. 557 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 2: I'm not optimistic about things. We got some clips of 558 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 2: that and other stuff we can get to a little 559 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 2: bit later. We got mail bag coming up. 560 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: Stay here. 561 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: I didn't come across some zero sugar peanut butter cups 562 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 2: in the store. I didn't buy them because I figure 563 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: whatever they're putting in the peanut butter cup to make 564 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 2: it sweet, it's probably worse for me than sugar. Yeah, 565 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 2: that's that's my current stance. Yeah, yeah, let's see, here's 566 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 2: your freedom loving quote of the day. I was. 567 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: Motivated to revisit one of the greatest works of English 568 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: language writing this ever existed, John Stuart Mills on liberty 569 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: over the weekend and beginning a series of quotes some 570 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: of the key passages of that brilliant, foundational, irreplaceable argument 571 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: in favor of free speech. Aren't we something? Listen to this? 572 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm a little fancy. Yes, that's true. Guilty. We'll start 573 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: with this, and it has to do with one of 574 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: his foundational arguments that liberty can only be limited to 575 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: prevent harm to others and more on that. But the 576 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over 577 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: any member of a civilized community against his will is 578 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical 579 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: or moral, is not a sufficient warrant. 580 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: Oh boy, how far away are we from that? Yeah, 581 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: that's against paternalism and Nanni statism. The current hot topic 582 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: out of that quote, though, is the question of preventing 583 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 2: harm to others, which is why leftist totalitarians try to 584 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 2: convince you that speech is violence, because fortunately, any civilized 585 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 2: person would agree that violence is the one thing we 586 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 2: can forbid except under special circumstances. And so they've thought, 587 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 2: they've realized, Okay, well, ideas are our greatest enemy. 588 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: So we've got to find a way to outlaw ideas. 589 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: I know, say, speech is violence. I have much to 590 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: say on this. 591 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 2: Whole government shouldn't do anything just because it would be 592 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 2: good for people. 593 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: I want to talk about that again more. 594 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 2: Of course, the delace core problem with that is who's 595 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 2: making this decision on what's good for me? 596 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: Why are they better at this than a me? 597 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 2: And whose money is being forcefully appropriated to accomplish said goal. 598 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: Mail bag talk about that all week.
