The newspaper issued or 86 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 3: an apology, and the editors said, no humans existence is illegal, 87 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that. So 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 3: they went with Rogers Park rather than an illegal immigrant 89 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 3: and apologized, even though he is by any definition legal 90 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 3: or cultural, an illegal immigrant. 91 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: These peoples the disconnect between their apparent intelligence, although Brandon 92 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: Johnson's a moron. But like the editor, I'm sure that 93 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: editor is very bright but completely lacking in wisdom. That 94 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: the counter argument to that is so effortless and short, 95 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: I'm not even going to bother offering it. 96 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 2: Well, the word illegal refers to the immigration status, not 97 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 2: the human being. 98 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: Everybody knows that, except young intellectuals who are confident that 99 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: they know everything they need to know about the world. 100 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, what a Hallmark card sort of sentiment. The whole 101 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 3: no human is illegal, which is what? What's the actress said, 102 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,239 Speaker 3: the singer said, and the Grammys remember she said. 103 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: That Billie Eilish, Billie Eilish, you're a child. That's a 104 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: child's argument. The grown ups are talking, sweetheart piped down. Meanwhile, 105 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: while Chicago alder woman Maria Haddn't good solid progressive started 106 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: out okay, she posted a video to X the kids 107 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: were out doing normal things people do in the neighborhood, 108 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: and that's when she should have shut her mouth. But 109 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: she decided, right, who is this credit whorres to I'd 110 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: a writer in the New York Post. But she proceeded 111 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: to relay the most twisted version of this slaying quote 112 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: and it sounds like this might have been a wrong place, 113 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: wrong time, running into a person who had a gun. 114 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: They might have startled this person at the end of 115 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: the peer unintentionally. You can hear jaws dropping. Jose Medina, 116 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: illegal alien from Venezuela, came in shockingly under President Biden's 117 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: open borders in twenty twenty three, chased them and shot. 118 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 3: Her in the head. If you're if you're got murdered, 119 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 3: if her that writer's kid got murdered, would they feel 120 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: the same way, Well, you know, probably startled them.

It's not a right, it's not a premeditated 185 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: homicide of an innocent victim. There are different words for that. 186 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: Certainly tragic for the family. I'll concede that.

I don't know if he's smart 198 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: enough to get what he's doing. Because there are the 199 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: people who understand we're trying to overload the system and 200 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: break it so we can reform it to our communist ideals. 201 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: Those people know what they're saying is not solving problems 202 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: they don't want to solve. Problems. They want to break 203 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: the system.

It's definitely two kinds of people. 206 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: But that's why the whole the useful idiots comment was 207 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: so powerful.

We don't need it at all. 332 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 2: We don't. We have so much oil. Our country is 333 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 2: not affected by this. We have more. We have twice 334 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: the amount. 335 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 6: Of oil as Saudi Arabia or Russia, and soon it 336 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 6: will be three times the amount. 337 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: Chris, do you want to speak to that for a second. Yeah, 338 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: that's correct. 339 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 4: Our total oil production is greater than Saudi Arabia's plus Russia, 340 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 4: and more than we consume in the United States. 341 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 2: So we're the largest. 342 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 6: Pretty good, pretty nuts, you know what they call it drill, Baby, drill. 343 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 3: I think that message is to all those people you 344 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 3: up in Japan that signed that letter a week or 345 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 3: so ago saying that they'd help open the strait because 346 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 3: Trump saying, you're the ones that need the oil. 347 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 2: We don't need the oil. He can take clothes. We're fine. 348 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 3: That's not exactly true, because it's gonna cause a worldwide recession, 349 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 3: which might already be on the table. 350 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: I agree with your analysis, though, I think he's sending 351 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: a message, Look, lip service is not gonna be good enough. 352 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 1: This is really important for y'all. You're gonna help, and 353 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: I hope they do. Could be a great, great, great 354 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: turn in the history of certainly the century, as discussed 355 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: at length in hour three of. 356 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: The show, I think, yeah, so many hours. 357 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: I know, I know it's crazy. So, as I mentioned earlier, 358 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: David French is a calumnist, a thinker. He is a 359 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: very smart guy, a very decent and moral guy. I 360 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: think he's wrong a lot. I think he has trumped 361 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome, among other things. 362 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 2: But he's one of those guys. 363 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: Even when I disagree with him, I've got to weigh 364 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: his arguments and wrestle with them a little bit. And 365 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: this I think he's missing a couple of things. But 366 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: he's writing about how can America be so miserable when 367 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: it's so rich? And he writes, the American economy is 368 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: the envy of the world. Actual Americans, however, are not 369 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: happy about their economy, and they've been unhappy about it 370 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: for a long time. He says, both of those statements 371 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: are true, and until recently, frankly, they stumped me. How 372 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: can it be possible, How could it possibly be rational 373 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: to feel such prolonged pessimism in the face of such 374 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: extraordinary economic growth? And then he goes into some of 375 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 1: the stats about GDP growth and how the living standards 376 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: of the average European are very comparable to the living 377 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: standards of people in Mississippi, poorest state. 378 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 3: That was a big story late last year. I guess 379 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 3: that the average brit was living like middle class Mississippi. Yeah, 380 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 3: our poorest people, which is quite amazing when you think 381 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 3: about it. 382 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: And then he writes, we hear about a shrinking middle class, 383 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: but it's shrinking because the ranks of rich in the 384 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: upper middle class are growing. He goes into a bunch 385 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: of stats. It's not because Americans are getting poorer that 386 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: are getting richer, much richer. There are percentage of Americans 387 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: who are poor or near poor plunged from thirty percent 388 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 1: to nineteen percent over the same time period, which is 389 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: what was the time period nineteen seventy nine to nineteen 390 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty four. So that's pretty good long span. 391 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 3: I guess I would explain it from when I entered 392 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 3: to high school till now when I'm always thinking, why 393 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: does so many people fly and you know, do all 394 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 3: these things that we didn't do when I was a kid, 395 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 3: It's because so many people have moved up the ranks 396 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 3: from middle class to better. 397 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: The percentage of lower middle class family shrank as well, 398 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: from twenty four percent to sixteen percent during the same period. 399 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: Share of upper middle class and rich Americans has exploded. 400 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: He goes into those statistics and he gets into a 401 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: fair amount of detail that I don't think he is necessary. 402 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: He says Americans on average live in larger and more 403 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: luxurious homes than Americans and generations past previous. 404 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: Oh, that reminds you. 405 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: I got an article about how much money is being 406 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: spent on doggy daycare and grooming right now, it's exploded anyway. 407 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: Of course, people don't have kids, But he says previous luxuries, 408 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: things like central air, big screen TVs, home computers, and 409 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: multiple cars are now common stables of American life across 410 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: most although of course not all of our social classes. 411 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: And you know, I wish we had time for this 412 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: whole thing because is interesting. But he thinks one of 413 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: the big answers of why people are miserable, I think 414 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: a big part of it is lack of civic engagement, 415 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: no religious filiation. You're just not part of a community 416 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: in the way we used to be. So a big 417 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: source of joy in the world is gone. People are 418 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: staring at their screens. But his take is completely different. 419 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: He read a piece by Daniel Kerl who's a management consultant, 420 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: changed his perspective and he saw reality. 421 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 2: He couldn't unsee. Quote. 422 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: We were miserable in part because we are wealthy. So 423 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: this guy's piece was about the economics of Disney World. 424 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: It described to park, once accessible to most Americans, that 425 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: has become extraordinarily expensive, charging fees that would crush the 426 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: budgets of countless millions of Americans. And it's not just 427 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: the baseline cost of attendance that's exploded. Disney offers various 428 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: extra benefits at extra costs that have created a multi 429 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: tiered experience. Think of the park as creating something like 430 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: the boarding groups for airlane airline flights. Life is just 431 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: better if you're in group one. And in one sense, 432 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: the Disney story is understandable and lamentable, but it's hardly 433 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: alarming of But it's not just Disney. 434 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 2: The examples are all around us. 435 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: This month, the Wall Street Journal published a fascinating article 436 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: about the explosive costs of youth sports. The average famili's 437 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: annual spending on baseball, for example, has increased from six 438 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty bucks to eleven hundred plus just in 439 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: five years. That's partly because the nature of youth sports 440 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: has changed. He goes into the details. Now travel sports 441 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: have taken over, and travel sports teams are expensive. 442 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, a friend was telling me about her daughter is 443 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 3: going to play soccer, and it costs you roughly two 444 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 3: thousand dollars a year being go thousand. 445 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, a few thousand dollars worth of peril equipment swag. 446 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: Forget the local team sponsored by local business. Now you 447 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: often find yourself traveling regionally or even nationally for teams 448 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: called Alliance A or Alliance B, representing different branches of 449 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: your chosen travel sports company. What about flying, Oh, if 450 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: your a sports fan, forget about going to see your 451 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: favorite pro team unless you get a lot of extra 452 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: cash on hand. According to the Athletic price of attending 453 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: an NFL or MLB game roshan average by around three 454 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: hundred percent from the early nineties to the early twenty twenties. 455 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: Average NFL tickets now more than three hundred dollars. What 456 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: about flying? To purchase a plane ticket is to open 457 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: a restaurant menu. You've got choice after choice of seating tiers. 458 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: Not just first class and coach ordered back to anymore. No, 459 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: we've got first class, main cabin, Extra Maine, and basic economy. 460 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: We've got concierge, key boarding, pre boarding, and nine other 461 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: boarding groups. A result could be endlessly frustrating. We're constantly 462 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: reminded that America is a multi tiered society in which 463 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: high income buys you a very visible degree of prosperity, 464 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: and a decent income gives you nothing special at all. 465 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: There are so many high income Americans that the entire 466 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: economy is warping to accommodate the minority at the expense 467 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: of the majority. In other words, we have a Group 468 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: one economy for a Group nine nation, and it's no 469 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: wonder so many Americans feel economically disadvantaged and insecure. In 470 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: other words, every single day you are walking through the 471 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: first class cabin looking at those people before you get 472 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: stuck in the cattle car. In everything you do, and 473 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: you can't blame any of these individual businesses for doing this. 474 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: It's just a pretty clever way to make more money. 475 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,239 Speaker 1: But it certainly hasn't made us happier, right, I mean, 476 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: it's just you're right, it's endless comparison. Yeah, exactly, if everybody. 477 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 3: Was just going to Disneyland. That's one thing. If you 478 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 3: go to Disneyland and you're slapped in the face all 479 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: day long with the fact that we're only third tier 480 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 3: rich as opposed to number one tier rich, but we're 481 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 3: better than five, but you're not where you'd like to be. 482 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 3: Everything you do, that's really interesting. 483 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, and there's more. 484 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: Although now's a great time to point out that study 485 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: that came out a number of years ago that told 486 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: you virtually everything you know need to know about human beings. 487 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: I can't remember precisely how it was put together, but 488 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: people earning, say ninety thousand dollars living next to somebody 489 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: making eighty thousand dollars, we're happier than somebody making one 490 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand dollars if they lived next to 491 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: somebody making one hundred fifty dollars. 492 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 2: It was all about comparison. 493 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 3: And then you've got that human nature thing that I 494 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 3: talked about a couple of weeks ago from the Philosopher 495 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 3: and I don't remember Bertrand Russell who said what people 496 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 3: miss about socialists communists is it's they're not driven by 497 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 3: helping the lower class. They're driven by punishing the people 498 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 3: above them. That's just a human nature thing, envy and hatred.

I hope 501 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 3: you don't get paywalled. I don't know what New York 502 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 3: Times current heywalld looks like. But because I'm very, very wealthy, 503 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 3: No I'm kidding, is because I subscribe for work. 504 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: What if you live in a city the top ten 505 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: percent love, well, then even being upper middle class doesn't 506 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: feel affluent at all. Six figure salaries, purchased shoe box apartments, 507 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: and everything from groceries to gas costs an absurd amount. 508 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: Soon enough, you're googling the real estate prices in Chattanooga 509 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: or Des Moines. Surely it's cheaper there, whether or not 510 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: you intend to ever leave. 511 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 3: And we're going to do this to the road soon 512 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 3: where uh you look at the person driving faster in 513 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 3: the lane to the left of you, it's because they 514 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 3: pay that tiered pricing, right, just another comparison opportunity. 515 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I remember where was I traveling that 516 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: had that a lot. It might have been the Carolinas 517 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: or Florida, I don't remember, but it was one of 518 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: those places. 519 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 2: It was one of the first. 520 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: Really, the Bay Area is the first place I ever 521 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: saw it where they have electronic signs announcing, hey, you 522 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: can get in this lane, but we're going to ding 523 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: here for a dollar ninety five or whatever, which you know, 524 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: for most of my life I never did. I remember 525 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: the day I thought, Hell, I don't care, that's an 526 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: inconsequential amount of money. I'm going to go over there 527 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: and try with the rich people and leave you poor 528 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: people stuck in traffic. 529 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 2: Ah if if you're if. 530 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: Everywhere you go, that's you're you're okay, but you're not 531 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: as successful as these people are, rich or whatever. Constantly 532 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 1: it's the humans are not designed for this. Well, how 533 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: about that? Just it's a fact. So I'd rather be 534 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: poorror but around people that make less money than me, yes, 535 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: than to be richer. But I'm the poorest person in 536 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: the neighborhood. Yeah, which makes no sense obviously, or even 537 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: the second richest in the neighborhood. It makes you're not 538 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: on top. Oh no, it's it's idiotic. It's a flaw 539 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: in the programming. 540 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 3: Clearly, because the comparison matters to you than the actual 541 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 3: size of the house, quality of the car, whatever you 542 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 3: can afford. 543 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 544 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: A former coworker of ours a fascinating person, multi layered 545 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: and a pain in the ass. But aren't we all 546 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: hit us with the saying comparison is the thief of joy? 547 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: It is absolutely more built for it. I had not 548 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: heard that until I was middle aged, which is a 549 00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: shame because that's a powerful truth bomb right there, and 550 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: apparently true thief of joy. Yeah, we don't look at 551 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: the people I have known this my whole life. You 552 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: don't notice all the cars on the road that are 553 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: crappier than yours and think, well, I'm really lucky to 554 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: be driving this vehicle that is better than the forty 555 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: percent of cars out here. 556 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: You notice the ones that are way nicer than you 557 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 2: and feel like, you know, I don't have that, and 558 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: I don't have that. I don't have that. 559 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: Maybe it has something to do with our animal brain 560 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: to improve our lot, but yeah, you pay no attention 561 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: to all the people in your neighborhood who have more 562 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: modest houses than you, and you fixate on the guy 563 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: with the really nice one. 564 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 3: We're built that way. There must be an evolutionary advantage 565 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 3: to it. Yeah, it's not a happiness advantage though. 566 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to get hold of that yachtch because 567 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: the modern world is well, it's perverse in so many ways. 568 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 2: That's one of them. 569 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, because of the Internet and social media. 570 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 3: It's not just your neighborhood you compare yourself to, it's 571 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 3: the body on the planet. 572 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, don't have to physically go anywhere, sitting in your 573 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: own home cocoon. 574 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 2: As it were, from the outside world. Just don't get online, unplaying. 575 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 3: Okay, we'll finish strong. 576 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 5: Next video has gone viral of seven dogs allegedly escaping 577 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 5: at Chinese. 578 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 2: Dog meat factory. 579 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 5: You hate to see that a small business owner losing product. 580 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: Oh that's it, Michael, That's that's what you've offered us. 581 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, produst, so I accept your apology. 582 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever heard of this comedian 583 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 3: Mark normand I barely have. 584 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: I've seen him his video show up. 585 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 3: He must be an up and comer because he's got 586 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 3: a net Flick special coming out and pretty funny guy. 587 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 3: I've seen some clips of him in In fact, he 588 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 3: tweets a lot. He tweeted the other day, Mohammad's not 589 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 3: allowed to draw Chuck Norris. 590 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 2: But uh oh that's good. That is good. 591 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 3: But the reason he mentioned Mohammad is he had a 592 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 3: beef with Netflix, and he's talked openly about this. He's 593 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 3: one of those comedians that's like really on the edge 594 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 3: of making fun of everything, like Dave Chappelle or whatever, 595 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 3: religion's sexualities, all kinds of stuff. And he had some 596 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 3: Islam jokes in there and Netflix said he had to 597 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 3: take them out. 598 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 2: The only ones that. 599 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 3: He had to take out was the jokes about oh 600 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 3: boy Mohammad or Islam or everything like that, and he said, 601 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 3: he said the conversation. I should have grabbed the audio 602 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 3: because he explains that he's talking to another guy on 603 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 3: a podcast. He said the conversation, they kept dancing around 604 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 3: why he needed to take him out, and he said 605 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 3: he was willing to take him out, which apparently he 606 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: did so he could have his Netflix special. He just 607 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 3: wanted them to admit out loud that you want to 608 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,719 Speaker 3: take them out because they're dangerous. Because these people are 609 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 3: dangerous and they will hurt you or blow the place 610 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 3: up or something. 611 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 2: And they wouldn't say that in the meeting. He says, 612 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 2: he finally got him to admit the. 613 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 3: Reason, but they kept dancing around, what just culturally we 614 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 3: don't think that it'd be the right thing to do. No, no, no, 615 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 3: there's all kinds of stuff here that's culturally offensive to everyone. 616 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 3: But I have to take this out because these people 617 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 3: are violent. And he really struggled to get them to 618 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 3: say it out loud. It's not the heckler's veto, it's 619 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 3: the murderers veto, right, And I always use the example 620 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 3: and this is such an obvious one. One of the 621 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 3: biggest Broadway musicals ever was The People from South Park 622 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 3: making fun of Mormons. Yeah, the Book of Mormon. Nobody's 623 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 3: gonna touch Islam. And there's a little plenty to mock 624 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 3: there if you wanted to be a mocking sort of person. 625 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 3: But nobody's gonna do that because they get the violent veto. 626 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, wake up. You might be interested in ours 627 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: three of the show via podcast Armstrong and getting on demand, 628 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: where we went through a couple of different people, including 629 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: Muslims and Muslim leaders who are like, hey, this whole 630 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: radical Islam Sharia law, we need to take over the 631 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: West and kill the infidels thing. We don't want that either. 632 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: Iran is the engine of that. Well it's not the only, 633 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: but it's the main engine of that. We want prosperous 634 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: economies and everybody to live in peace, please. So I 635 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: think the defeat of Ouran is enormously important. That is 636 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: something that the UAE, for instance, it's not gonna kill 637 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: anybody for drawing a picture Muhammad. No, they think, well, 638 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: do you got to be offensive? And then they would 639 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: go back to business. 640 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 2: Well, and in a. 641 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 3: Normal world where nobody's threatening me with violence, if you 642 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 3: just say that's insulting. 643 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 2: Me my religion.
