00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: a dimly lit room deep with them the bowels of

5
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. And hey y'all, Today Friday,

6
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: heading into a summer weekend. We're under the tutelage of

7
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: our general manager. The World's Funniest Baby. Okay, figure, it's Friday,

8
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: We'll keep it light, the World's Funniest Baby. Kiss. News

9
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: has reached me that Eddie Murphy's son has Mary Martin

10
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Lawrence's daughter Martin. They should decide to start a family.

11
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: I believe the child resulting from the union will be

12
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: the world's funniest baby. It's pronounced Martin, but yes, it

13
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: will be a very funny child. Now, whether the infant

14
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: hues toward Eddie Murphy's more intellectual, cynical brand of humor

15
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: or Martin Lawrence is more mad cap faux idiot style

16
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: science has yet to determine. Now, Martin Lawrence Sitcom was funny.

17
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: I loved that show. That was really good. Yes, yes, indeed,

18
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: funny people see those two kids.

19
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: Luck Uh jeez, look at the list of news items

20
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: to talk about.

21
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: That's another reason I went with that GM. I just can't.

22
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: The cure Closer to You. That's what I listened to

23
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: on the way to work today. On Fridays, I listen

24
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: to music instead of news. For some reason, I like

25
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: your style and I went with Heartbreak today. So anyway,

26
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: it sounded good in my car, but I don't know

27
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: if it be in the proper mood all for the show.

28
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a hot shower before you jump in

29
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: a cold pool. It's so good, but it's probably not

30
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: the right way to go. Uh yeah. There are a

31
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: couple of cure songs, a lot of classic rock, and

32
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: I think you have to include new wave stuff in

33
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: that description. These pictures, did I stay closer to you?

34
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: Pictures of you? You did? Pictures of You like their

35
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: biggest hit seven minutes long Drinking, Yes, plenty long enough.

36
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: There are a number of cure songs I cannot get

37
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: tired of. Oh that's a good tune. I mean, there

38
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: are plenty of classic rock songs. If I never hear

39
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: them again till the day I die. If you told

40
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: me that, Joe, you will never hear you know, song acts.

41
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: I would say, Oh, that's fine.

42
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: Now.

43
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,560

Speaker 2: them or another band sounds like you. I mean, that's

63
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: incredible that you can do that. I mean, that's some

64
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: real art. I would agree to pull that off in

00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:55,960

00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: so sweet and special and blah blah blah, and I

96
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: every year I say this.

97
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: Watch the documentary spell Bound. It won an Oscar. It

98
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: was all about this sort of thing. The kids were miserable,

99
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 2: the parents were miserable. Many of them go on to

100
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: have arable lives.

101
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: They wait. They spend their entire summers not playing or

102
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: having boyfriends or girlfriends, or doing anything or learning something

103
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: useful or learning anything else that could make you a living.

104
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: They study spelling like fifteen hours a day. It's like

105
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: a weird OCD obsession that they either have or forced into.

106
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: I didn't go with slavery. It's so great. I just

107
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: don't understand why. That isn't better known. I mean, it's

108
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: not like just my own cranky opinion. Watch that documentary

109
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: about it.

110
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: I didn't walk away from that documentary thinking, oh, that's cute.

111
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: I want my kid to study spelling words eighteen hours

112
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: a day. Oh the babbling simpleton heard running morons of media.

113
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: You can't have enough contempt for them. And I always think,

114
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: you know, neither one of my kids is like this.

115
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 2: But if my kid wanted to do that, I really

116
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: think I would.

117
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't.

118
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't like force them to stop, but I would

119
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: have a conversation of is sure you want to put

120
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: all your eggs in the basket of spelling?

121
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: Right? It's just it's a bizarre mutation of what was

122
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: a lovely idea. Hey, we'll have these little contests because

123
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: spelling is important, and sure the kids can be proud

124
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: of how well they do. And here's an incentive for

125
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: them to learn to spell. Because it's a bit.

126
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: Of a dry pursuit and in school it's words you

127
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: come across regularly in life that you need to be

128
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: able to spell.

129
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: To write.

130
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: Makes perfect sense. They turned it into this weird you

131
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: memorize a bunch of words nobody's ever heard.

132
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: Of from from from the world of Arcania.

133
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: I mean, just nobody's ever going to use or have

134
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: heard of you memorize these, It's it's a trivia contest, really, yeah,

135
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: or or just a deep, deep, deep dive into etymology

136
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: and destruction of rods and rice ands that sort of thing,

137
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: which is fine as far as it goes. But it

138
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: reminds me of you know, the guy who sets the

139
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: world record for bouncing on a pogo stick. He bounced

140
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: a million times on a pogo stick. No, that's supposed

141
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: to be a fun to that you get a little exercise.

142
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: There is absolutely no use.

143
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: There's no purpose in jumping up and down on a

144
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: pogo stick for twenty seven straight hours. None. It's a mania.

145
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: It's a mental condition.

146
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: Oh you know, and the kids are cute and everything

147
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: like that, and good for them and everything. But you know,

148
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: while again watch the documentary, it's not just my old

149
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: man cranky opinion. What's the furthest you ever gotten a

150
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: spelling bee?

151
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I don't know, fairly far, like the school

152
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: championship or something. I can't remember. I remember doing pretty well. Yeah,

153
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: i'd easily like I busted my ass to study. No,

154
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: I just a pretty good spell.

155
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: I definitely did not I would I was usually in

156
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: the top quarter that would go out or something like that.

157
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, Michael about like that top quarter.

158
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: Uh huh, yeah, respectable. There are uh do they still

159
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: do spelling bees.

160
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they do. I think of

161
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: my kids' school, and this sounds very modern. It's uh

162
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: because everybody had to participate. It wasn't like an option.

163
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: Everybody stood up and did the spelling be But now

164
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: it's a few people who are into it do it

165
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: because probably they don't want to make kids who can't

166
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: spell feel bad, because that's what we do everything.

167
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: We we we you know, we don't want anybody to

168
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: It's very important exactly and this is going to shock you.

169
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: Kid's got an Indian name. They won the spot. Yeah,

170
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: every damn kid I saw on the highlights was a

171
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: South Asian extraction, every single one.

172
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: And I think every kid featured in the documentary.

173
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: There is Indian American kids compelled to study spelling words

174
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: all day long. That's what the name of the show autim.

175
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm amazed by the various countries India being one

176
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: of them that their culture is such they come here

177
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: and they absolutely bust ass and are incredibly successful. I

178
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: know several adults that way. But the spelling Bee particular

179
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: of it is odd.

180
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: It is an extension of a cultural norm in which

181
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: you will work as hard as it takes to be

182
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: successful and you will not complain, which is unquestionably what

183
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: is uh you know, propelled so many Indian Americans to

184
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: great success in this country. I mean, to a certain extent,

185
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: it's to be admired. I mean clearly Asian American folks

186
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: do of all of all sorts. Just it's a cultural norm. Well,

187
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: I think if it, if it gets taken to a

188
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: ridiculous extreme like this, it's it's not to be admired

189
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: at all. But you know, at its base it's it's

190
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: it's good. We remember when COVID hit and businesses were

191
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: being closed down in this stat made the rounds. I

192
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: think it came out of the Wall Street Journal.

193
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: Various businesses that had money on hand to be able

194
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: to survive two or three months being shut down, and

195
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: like Asian and Indian owners had the most money saved

196
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: up for a rainy day to be able to weather it.

197
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: Way more than anybody else, which is just smart. Yeah,

198
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: whether you can smell spell smart in some sort of

199
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: weird way or not.

200
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding, so uh interesting. One more final note,

201
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: and it's I don't think it's old man yells at clouds.

202
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: I think it has more to do with my great

203
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: philosophy of society. Culture is like a stream or a

204
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: river with a current, and that current is not determined

205
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: by what's best for you. It's frequently determined by what

206
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: will make Mark Zuckerberg the most money. For instance, having

207
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: you doom scroll endlessly, everybody's doing it around you. You're

208
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: constantly staring at your phone. You've forgotten what it's like

209
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: to be alone with your own thoughts. There's no question

210
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: that that's not good for you, but everybody does it

211
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: because that is the cultural current. One of the cultural

212
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: currents that's unmistakable, you know, having lived as long as

213
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: I have at this point in human history, is the

214
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: professionalization of childhood pursuits. Yeah, and the spelling bee is

215
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: a good I mean like baseball. You know, when I

216
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: was playing baseball in the seventies and eighties, we played

217
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: because we loved to play baseball, or maybe your dad

218
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: was a ballplayer and he really wanted you to play,

219
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: but you weren't very good and you dropped out eventually.

220
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: But if you really really cared about baseball, you got

221
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: really good at it because it's fun to win and achieve.

222
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: And then at the end you're there. You are eighteen

223
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: years old, somebody says, you know, you're a really really

224
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: good baseball player, you want to play in college, and

225
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: be like, yes, yes I would as a matter of fact,

226
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: as opposed to now, from the time you're six blanking

227
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: years old, you're on this industrial pipeline, this professionalized you know,

228
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: production system for producing college baseball players. The cart is

229
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: in front of the horse, in my opinion, in a

230
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: lot of ways has to do with fame and force.

231
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: And I'm a big fan of fortune, don't get me wrong.

232
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: But again, understand, when you're swimming because you want to

233
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: swim that way, and when you're being swept up in

234
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: the current, it can get a little philosophized, it can

235
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: get a little spelling bsque. I have seen that although

236
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: there is professional league for baseball, there is not for spelling.

237
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: There's no Triple A, Single A or professional The big

238
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: league's the show you made it to the show for

239
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: the best center fielder in the world. I get it.

240
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: I get why you killed yourself to get there. A

241
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: speller in the world. We got head I expect to

242
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: see you at the end of a bar, drunk and

243
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: miserable on about twenty years, reminding us constantly that you

244
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: want the spelling bee. We got headlines, we got clips

245
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: of the week, we got all kinds of stuff. To

246
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: stay here.

247
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: A little bit later in the show, the ongoing conversation

248
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: about AI and how it's either going to be not

249
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: near as big a deal as some people claim, it's

250
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: gonna be every bit as big a deal as some

251
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: people claim, and you should pay attention.

252
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: Well, at least those people with diametrically opposed opinions aren't

253
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: the guys developing the thing. Oh that's right, they are.

254
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: We didn't mention the biggest headline of all, but I

255
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: assume you've heard it already. The tariffs are back on.

256
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Yesterday we led with the hair. The tariffs are off.

257
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: Now it's back. The tariffs are back on.

258
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: Peel's court jumps in temporarily pausing the ruling from the

259
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: Trade court that found them illegal.

260
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: So here we are. If I was a business person,

261
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do. Oh no, No,

262
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: it's absolute chaos. Appeals Court just said, now we're not

263
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: gonna We're not gonna stop them until we fully consider

264
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: the question.

265
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a reversal, it's just a delay, not

266
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: to disrupt the headlines completely. But I thought it was interesting.

267
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: Jonathan Turley, you know, who is a Lean's foxy and

268
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: trumpy and all that sort of stuff.

269
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: Law professor.

270
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: He thought the ruling by the Trade Court was absolutely

271
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: and that the president doesn't have the emergency authority to

272
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: do those sort of things, and thought that the appeals

273
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: Court stepping in and staying this is a good idea

274
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: because it needs to get the full looking at. And

275
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: he also thinks Congress should jump in and take care of.

276
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: This right now. Sure, I'll make a bet on that

277
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: if you want to. I have not found a single

278
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: commentator who I respect, whether trumpy or less so, who

279
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: has said, no, they got it wrong. The president should

280
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: be able to do this. Nobody, virtually, nobody thinks that

281
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: except jd. Vance was making a silly argument. More on

282
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: that later. And yes, we ought to have better trade

283
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: relationships around the world. And I hope Trump can accomplish that.

284
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: This just isn't the way to get there. We're down

285
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: to two minutes already. Yes, we broke very very late.

286
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: I blame you, oh Cramp. It was me rambling.

287
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: I was looking at a bunch of different headlines from

288
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: different sources. I find it very interesting that this ceasefire

289
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: thing is exactly the same as all the other ceasefires,

290
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: this one talking about not Ukraine and Russia, but this

291
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: one being the Hamas and Israel. The US has broken

292
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: it with the help of Egypt and Katar. Everybody's signed

293
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: on it to US, US, Egypt, Qatar, Israel. Guess who's

294
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: not Hamas. They're not happy with it. So there you go.

295
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a big update on Hamas and is Israel.

296
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: But Hamas is saying no, this doesn't end the conflict. Yeah,

297
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: We're not gonna end it until we have crushed you,

298
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Saith Israel.

299
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: Another court wing in story Trump's administration's ban on international

300
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: students at Harvard blocked by a federal judge. Have some

301
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: interesting statistics on judges stepping in and stopping what presidents

302
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: want to do that might surprise you.

303
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: We can get to later. Speaking of judges, how about

304
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: the soups the Supreme Court ruling eight to zero that

305
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna summarize this very briefly. The whole environmental

306
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: impact review thing has gotten completely out of control, and

307
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: that these obscure organizations and boards and stuff are wielding

308
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: way too much power. Had to do with a effort

309
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: to build an eighty eight mile railway construction proposal in Utah.

310
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: They put out a thousands of pages long environmental review.

311
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: Then some boards said no, you haven't really reviewed it enough.

312
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: Supreme Court eight zero said, all right, we got to

313
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: rein this in So a whole bunch of money got

314
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: paid in tariffs, like tens of billions of dollars. If

315
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: it turns out it was illegal, what happens to that money?

316
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: That is an interesting question. Do you get some back?

317
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: Stay good for that? Armstrong and Getty. I'm looking at

318
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: the news.

319
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: You know what Russell Brand's got working against him is

320
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: he looks like a rapist? Oh boy, I don't know

321
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: that he is. But you know how usually when you

322
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 2: go to trial for something, they like clean you up

323
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: in certain ways to make you look less like the

324
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: sort of person that would do that.

325
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: Sure, he seems to be going the other direction for

326
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: some reason. Really. Yeah, he's a strange individual, no doubt. Yeah.

327
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 2: Remember, if you're a long time listener at the Armstrong

328
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: and Getty show, you remember years ago, I think it

329
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: was because of the Olympics run or something like that,

330
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: I ran the one hundred meter dash out in the

331
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: parking lot. I ran a twelve nine hundred meter dash

332
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: in work boots.

333
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: Completely illegitimate.

334
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: Again anyway, against a college mascot and a cheerleader or something.

335
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: That's correct. That's correct. Yeah, the video still exists somewhere

336
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Ridiculous.

337
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: But I just thought of another athletic event I would

338
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: like to try, which I'll explain after all. Feature you're

339
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 2: leaving out the fact that I kicked a thirty five

340
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: year field.

341
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: Goal, which was really cool. After the forty nine ers

342
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: missed a really important field goal, JO said I could

343
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: do that, and he did. We went to a football field.

344
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: He did. Couldn't anymore, but it was back in the day. Jack.

345
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: Hey all, it's the Friday tradition. Let's take a fond

351
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: It is lit sheep say LIPA power can change the

352
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: definition of the words we use to describe reality. So

353
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: you just said I will give a good afternoon. Really

354
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: it's the afternoon. I identify as it always being the morning.

355
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: What you're talking about, Yeah, get dressed.

356
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: We're going to kill kid Cuddy Clarkord called combstailing her,

357
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 4: but the rapper wasn't home at the time.

358
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: And prosecutor say that John Wells proceeded to essentially torture him,

359
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: demanding that he give up his bigcoin password. I'm not

360

Speaker 1: elon musk rule as a special government employee coming to

365
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: can be big, or it can be beautiful, But I

366
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: don't know if it could be both. Republicans on the

367
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: House Oversight Committee are ready in subpoenas. We want to

368
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: ask them, who gave you the authority to use Joe

369
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: Biden's signature. We never got somebody that said we should

370
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: never have done this. I can't believe we did it. Yeah,

371
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: there's gradations of honesty.

372
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: Now.

373
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: It looks as though the war in Gaza is raging

374
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: on a level that we haven't seen. Present posting on

375
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: truth Social that he may take quote three billion dollars

376
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: of grant money away from fairy anti Semitic Harvard.

377
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 4: The staggering setback for President Trump's aggressive trade agenda. The

378
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: White House rebuking the court, saying it is not for

379
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency.

380
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: And I don't know what the hell happened to Putin.

381
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: I've known him a long time, and something happened to

382
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: this guy, and I don't like it. I don't think

383
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: Putin has changed. I don't know what the President's talking about.

384
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: Negitive rites. I only know of one really bad thing,

385
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: World War three. I think this four is about to

386
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: get a lot dirtier. Is it better to shower in

387
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: the morning or at night? According to science? Tell you what,

388
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: there's a fire burglary. I throw my shoes on, which

389
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: are right next to the bed, next to my gun,

390
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: my eyeglasses, and I'm ready to go. Some nights I

391
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: sleep in a tracksuit and I think, you know, there

392
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: could be action tonight.

393
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: A couple of things I'm reminded of from the clips

394
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: of the week. One, Scott Pelley is the most pompous

395
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: human being on planet Earth.

396
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: Yes, and pompousness to actual wisdom ratio is off the

397
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: chart because he is a jackass.

398
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: Also, that story about the crypto guy being tortured for

399
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: two weeks by another already insanely rich crypto guy. Two

400
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: NYPD police officers being questioned in that that were.

401
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: Involved in driving the guy.

402
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 2: One of them drove the guy to the house, and

403
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: another guy stood watch. It's not known yet whether they

404
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: had any idea what they were doing. But you got

405
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: people with one hundred million dollars, they can throw around

406
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 2: a lot of cash.

407
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. You hit most people with a

408
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: seven figure offer, and many of their I would never

409
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: fall away. Oh yeah, a million dollars not not impossible.

410
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: There's a list of things I wouldn't do for say,

411
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: five million dollars. But it's short. Would I participate in

412
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: the torture of a crypto executive? Probably not. I'd like

413
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: to get to know him. Maybe he's a bad gush

414
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: most certainly not. I'm sorry. Did you say seven million?

415
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: Now?

416
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: Uh, ature's large sums of money. Interesting tariff thing for you.

417
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: But the sporting event that I think I would like

418
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 2: to do so Donald Trump is threatening to pull federal

419
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 2: funding out of California's schools because of this transgender this

420
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: boy who won the triple jump in the girls' high

421
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: school meet, and the long jump, and I think maybe

422
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 2: one other event I would like to try the well done,

423
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 2: sir by the way, well done. I would like to

424
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: go out in the parking lot try to do the

425
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: triple jump and see if I could do better than

426
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: the last place high school girl.

427
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: I love that idea. Wow, it'd be a good video. Wow,

428
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it in work boots again.

429
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 2: We got into a conversation about it yesterday. Some people said,

430
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: it's left left right or right right left, You do

431
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: the same foot twice and then off the other one.

432
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: But anyway, we don't want to get hung up on that.

433
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: So the tariff situation. Did you know this I'll bet

434
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 2: you did not. If it is deemed that Trump's tariffs

435
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 2: were illegal, he didn't have the authority to do it,

436
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: which was true for like twenty four hours before this

437
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 2: other court came in and stated it.

438
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: It'll probably end up being true again.

439
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: If that ends up being the case that the tariffs

440
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: were illegal, then those corporations did not have to pay

441
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: them and they get that money back.

442
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: Well, but each of those corporations either fully passed that

443
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: along to their customers, passed along half of it to

444
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: their customers, ate all of it, and didn't pass any

445
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: of it on to the customers, and everywhere in between.

446
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: And so if you bought a computer that was fifteen

447
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: percent more expensive, do you get that money back? Does

448
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: the company get to keep the money that they get

449
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: back to they get send you a discount? How would

450
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: you have any idea how much you paid in tariff? Boy,

451
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: that's unspeakably tens of billions of dollars. It's not a

452
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: minor amount of money. I forget what the total is,

453
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: but it is tens of billions of dollars over a

454
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: very short period of time. Yeah, yeah, wow, I just

455
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: that's dizzy. Nobody, nobody has any idea how to unwind this. Yeah,

456
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: it absolutely is true that the companies that paid the

457
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: tariffs get the money back.

458
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: And that makes sense. I mean it was it was

459
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: against the law. If the courts decide that that the

460
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: president didn't have the right to do that, didn't have

461
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: the power to do that, great, but they didn't necessarily

462
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: incur the cost in the end, as you're right poinding

463
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: out right, Yeah.

464
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: Some did, some didn't, some have did. Right.

465
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 2: That will be a mess and I don't know if

466
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: there'll be lawsuits like crazy or what.

467
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: Well, and can you imagine all of the the auditing

468
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: that would need to be done if Joe's Imports, Joe

469
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: Getty's Imports said yeah, yeah, we eight ninety percent of

470
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: the tariffs and passed on ten percent to our distributors. Yeah, yeah,

471
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: that's the ticket. Who's going to come in and investigate

472
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: that you you actually only ate sixty percent of the

473
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: cost percent to your customers, thirty percent to your distributors

474
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: on a case by case basis.

475
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: Place maybe on an item by item basis, maybe on computers.

476
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: They you know, for whatever how elastic or inelastic the

477
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: product is, they put more of the tar iff they

478
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: passed along with the customer on other items they didn't.

479
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: How about you do that and I go count the

480
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: grains of sand at Daytona Beach and we see who

481
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: finishes first. Although if I'm owed four hundred bucks on

482
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: my MacBook, I would like it back. Good luck. You're

483
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: going to be one hundred and sixty by the time

484
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: they unravel it. I need somebody to look up the

485
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: last place high school girls triple jump distance, and I

486
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: will go out and see if I can do it

487
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: in the parking lot. Maybe you're a crypto zillionaire and

488
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: you don't want people showing up to chainsaw you or

489
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: burn you or dangle you over a staircase or whatever.

490
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: You got to protect yourself, your family, and your stuff.

491
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: And that's why I simply save home security is what

492
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: millions of Americans are looking to for their peace of mind.

493
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: Technically advanced so much better than old style systems, there's

494
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: no comparison. AI powered cameras would notice a guy lurking

495
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: around with a taser in a couple of buckets of water,

496
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: and they could alert professionals immediately so that they did

497
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: not you know, come in and try to get your

498
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: crypto password, and they can yell at the guy, they

499
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: can call the cops. They can turn on your spotlights

500
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: all before they smash in your window or your door.

501
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable technology. No long term contracts or cancelation fees. Now,

502
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: this sort of monitoring is very expensive. Ah Foolia actually

503
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: starts affordably at around a bucket day. That's amazing.

504
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: And the fact that it's about a dollar a day

505
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 2: and they're no long term contracts. That means simply Safe

Speaker 2: One headline I didn't get to in headlines that I

513
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: wanted to get on is this. You remember President Macrone

514
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: and gets shoved around by his old lady wife right

515
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: in the face in public and but you just had

516
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: enough of his crap. Anyway, He said today that division

517
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: between the two superpowers, the United States and China is

518
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: the main risk currently confronting the world. That's interesting. I

519
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: think he's right, but yeah, absolutely right. I'm glad he

520
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 2: recognized that. I wish more people recognize that.

521
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's another headline that the Trump administration has made

522
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: new moves to decouple from China. What a weird frenemy relationship.

523
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: This is so we tendency and enmittee.

524
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: So we are going to get to We got a

525
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: great California's crumbling that you should be interested in wherever

526
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: you live. About the people that want to push the

527
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: New Green Deal on you and get away.

528
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: From fossil fuels. It's unbelievable. Wait, Lee Hall, it will

529
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: cost you as financial ruin and make the environment worse,

530
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: which is amazing. Mail bag, Freedom loving Quota to the day

531
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: coming up, stay with.

532
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 3: Us on this five year anniversary of George Floyd and

533
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: then the riots to follow.

534
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten about all the monuments that got torn down.

535
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: I got a list of those. Maybe we'll get those later.

536
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: Oh man, that just soured my mood right there, even

537
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: bringing that up. Now the mood sour. Yes you are.

538
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: Here's your freedom loving quota today. Whoop Thomas Jefferson. This

539
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: is so good and could yield hours of discussion. Rightful

540
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits

541
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: drawn around us by the equal rights of others. That's

542
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: pretty good, now that there's more to it. Okay, but

543
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to repeat that part. Rightful liberty is unobstructed

544
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: action according to our will within limits drawn around us

545
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: by the equal rights of others. I do not add

546
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: within the limits of the law, because law is often

547
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates

548
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: the rights of the individual. God. I can think of

549
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: many examples. Yeah, yeah, The question becomes, can you run

550
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: a society if everyone has an individual standard for deciding?

551
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: Which is which I would argue mostly yes. I would

552
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: rather attend to the troubles of too much liberty than

553
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: too little too again paraphrase TJ himself. Love that I'm

554
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: going to spend a lot of time a lot of

555
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: your safety laws that it harms no one if I

556
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: am taking this risk for myself, are right ridiculous? Under

557
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: that standard, you wanting to ride your motorcycle without a

558
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: helmet is an action according to your will that does

559
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: nothing to the equal rights of others except within a

560
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: socialist system, right, which is the great insidious, slippery slope

561
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: of socialism. Right, If I have to pay for your stupidity.

562
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: I therefore can interfere with it whenever I want my

563
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: perception of your stupidity. Yeah, anyway, again, we could go

564
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: on for hours about that, and perhaps we will, although

565
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: although smoking costs US eight million times more than.

566
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: The motorcycle crashes ever could and we don't outlaws smoking.

567
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: What are you looking for like logic and consistency, you fool?

568
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: Drop us note mail bag and armstrong you getty dot com.

569
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: It's hot in cal Unicornia where the radio show is based,

570
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: and Mikey Luke Craig's Boys triple digits triple digit My god,

571
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: here's your triple digits pro tip. Drink plenty of warm

572
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: milk to stay hydrated and stare directly at the sun

573
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: for as long as you can. Just a friendly reminder

574
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: it's been a whole seven months since the last time

575
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: it was really hot. Thank you, Mikey Luke.

576
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: I got to post that picture on our Twitter later today,

577
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: me with.

578
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: A glass of milk staring at the sun. Use AI

579
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: to create it back job Brandon Wright's guys, Regarding your

580
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: recent conversation about scientific research and published papers, you should

581
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: read the book Science Fictions by Stuart Ritchie. He goes

582
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: into great detail about the current miserable state of research

583
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: papers from the replication crisis to that being. They publish

584
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: a study and announce that it's a great breakthrough. Then

585
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: five other labs try to replicate the study and say

586
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: we're getting completely different data. Anyway, to outright fraud from researchers.

587
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: It's very well researched and incredibly shocking. Again, that title

588
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: is Science Fictions by Richie. Yeah.

589
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 2: So a lot of the Trump yank and money from

590
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: universities and their ability to do research.

591
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: I get how that's not good, but a tremendous amount

592
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 1: of research is worthless, a tremendous amount well, right, And

593
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: they go immediately to no cancer cures now right, no

594
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: helping prematurely born babies. Okay, let's keep those two things,

595
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: keep going, keep going with the list. When we get

596
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: down to dog park rights of masculine abuse, white supremacy

597
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: culture studies, yeah yeah, I'm thinking no, let's see moving

598
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: long erin with a great note. It just struck me

599
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: the ceremonial virtue signaling that's become vogue among leftist institutions.

600
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: They don't even notice how much of a self own

601
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: it is before we start, I want to say that

602
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: we are on stolen land. The fact that we are

603
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: standing here is an atrocity occurring in real time. Anyway,

604
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: here's today's agenda. You're right erin you're right to announce.

605
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: This is a horror, moral horror which history mass als

606
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: remember now new business right. I was in San Francisco

607
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: last week doing some shopping and I looked up a

608
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: shoe store I wanted to go to and on their

609
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: website because I just look for the hours. On their website.

610
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: At the top where it said the name of the

611
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: shoe store, it says planted on the land once owned

612
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,479
Speaker 2: by the and then three tribes, I thought, you've got

613
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 2: to be freaking kidding. You are dry shaving of shoe stores. Oh,

614
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 2: you self important dope.

615
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: See crap? Wow, Oh Aaron, I'm sorry, he said, I

616
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: was supposed to say all of the above and up

617
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: speak before we start. I want to say, or I'm

618
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: stolen land. Yeah, my bead.

619
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 2: And you don't think those tribes took it from someone

620
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: else that had.

621
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: It before you? You really believe that? Okay? Right right?

622
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: How about them they're sitting here thinking, wait a minute,

623
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: the mohawks we had that land. They killed our babies,

624
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: they slaughtered our people, they enslaved our women. We had

625
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: a declaration of that that land for sixty years. I

626
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: know because I fought the Walkupoocies to get it right.

627
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: It's killed the hell out of them too. Damn wakapoochies. Uh.

628
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: Writer Jim the Writer in Corona, longtime friend of the

629
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty shows. But Jack askewhy it took so

630
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: long for the Court of International Trade to block Trump's tariffs.

631
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: The court couldn't rule until a plaintiff brought suit, and

632
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: he lists the five plaintiffs. They were represented by the

633
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: Liberty Justice Center, a nonpartisan but libertarian, conservative leading legal

634
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: organization based in Austin, dahag.

635
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: Why I understand that? I mean, I actually do understand it.

636
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: At the same time, I dullared wise. Just wonder on

637
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 2: a lot of these things, why we just can't jump

638
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: to the end. Gay marriage, Do we have to have

639
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 2: a plaintiff? Do we have to go through the whole thing?

640
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,919
Speaker 1: Just jump to the Supreme Court and rule on whether

641
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: we can have gay marriage or not? As the on

642
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: sanctuary cities and states, same on the president with tariffs.

643
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: Do we need a plaintiff. Do we need to go

644
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: through just get to the Supreme Court and decide was

645
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: a plaintiff? Then what would you decide because there will

646
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: be exactly Yeah, I understand why we can't do that,

647
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: but I totally get your point. And then Jim signs

648
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: off and he goes into some details, some of why

649
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: it was a good ruling and some of the arguments,

650
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: and then he gets to the important part of the note.

651
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 1: You and Jack are the best thing ever on radio podcasts.

652
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: Take all the vacations you can, but don't ever retire.

653
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: You know, if I can make that bargain, I won't retire.

654
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: We're we're almost out of time. The vacations you can

655
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: include fifty two vacations. Then I say, you've you've fifty

656
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: two vacations, you're working the system. Well, that would be dishonorable.

657
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that, although I will consider it. We

658
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: got some good stuff for hour two.

659
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that the back and forth over AI

660
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 2: really heated up this week for some reason. It's either

661
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: going to doom us all or it's nothing to worry about.

662
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,920
