00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty arm Strong, and Gatty.

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 3: I know he.

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Yetty, you gotta remember this. He got off easy.

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 2: I think we both know.

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 4: If I was in the race, I want to beat you.

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: Like a drum.

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 4: Joe.

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 5: That's one of the craziest things I've ever heard anyone say.

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 5: And for that reason, I'd like to offer you a

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 5: position in my cabinet.

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 4: No can, dude, Jack, you need to make take a

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 4: little time off from his place.

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: What do you think you'll do next, Joe? Will you retire?

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: I'll do what every worn down old guy does. I'm

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: gonna fight chick Paul.

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: That was pretty good cold open, I thought I thought

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: that was pretty funny.

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're discussing off the air, Like everywhere we went,

21
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: everybody's talking about that fight.

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, kids, old women, no matter who I came

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: in contact with, people were talking about the.

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: Mike captured America's imagination. Jack, it did. Why do you

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 2: think that was really?

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: And it's interesting Mike Tyson, who was a villain ish

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: at least in his prime. I mean, he needed to

28
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: go to prison for rape and uh, big guy's ear

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: off and all that sort of stuff. He'd been arrested.

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: He'd been arrested in a thirty good list already thirty

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: five times by the time he was sixteen or something

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: like that. And he had a rough life. But now

33
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: he needs to get a grill going, like George Foreman.

34
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: He needs to have some sort of thing to cook

35
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: hot dogs or something, because he seems to be somewhat

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: beloved for whatever reason.

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of the snoop dogg syndrome. I gassy. Yeah,

38
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: he's got to find an alternative to get a hit

39
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: in the head for a way to make money. Yeah.

40
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: Man, he got punched in the face several times and

41
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: after words and they ask him if you fight again?

42
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: I thought surely he would say no way, because he

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: looked to me like when he sat down after that

44
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: first round, the look on his face to me was

45
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: this was a terrible idea. I don't know what I

46
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: was thinking. He was so tired. Uh, even after the

47
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: first two minutes, he was just shot. And I don't

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: care if you're Mike Tyson.

49
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: Getting hit in the head is different at age sixty

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 2: than it was at age twenty five. That's an interesting point.

51
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: It's funny.

52
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: I hadn't even thought about that because, like when I

53
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: fall off my kids skateboard or whatever, the way it

54
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: rocks your world versus you know, falling off your bike

55
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: when you're younger, it's completely different. I don't know if

56
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: the like juice that keeps your brain safe gets.

57
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: Staff for what happens. But your brain juice tries, Now

58
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: that's exactly what everyone knows. That's what happens. Your brain

59
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 2: juice to just coragulates. It just doesn't work the same way.

60
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: I grew up playing hockey, played in college and stuff

61
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: like that. Not college hockey, but I was playing club

62
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: hockey in college, and and you know, you get bonked

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: in the head and falling the ice whatever. I was skating,

64
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: and this was probably fifteen years ago, gladys, and I

65
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: was doing some of the fancier skating stuff you do

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: as a hockey player, you know, changing direction, going for

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: forward to backward and back again real fast. And I

68
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: got my skates tied up and I fell and bonked

69
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: my head mediumsh hard on the ice. And that was

70
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: my first reaction. Oh my god, that was different. Yeah, yeah,

71
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: so yeah, anyway, getting slugged in the head can't have

72
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: been enjoyable. Has Tyson never done a one man show?

73
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, he did have an idea of that.

74
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: He had a Tyson show for a while, think of Vegas.

75
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: Well, he he had four hundred million dollars at the

77
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: peak of his career. He threw a combination of being

78
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: stolen from which is the history of boxing, and really

79
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: bad life decisions. He ended up twenty some million dollars

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: in debt, which he's climbed out of, and he had

81
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: a big payday the other night, somewhere between twenty and

82
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: forty million dollars. So I'd get punched in the head

83
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: quite a few. I mean, if you could get anywhere

84
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: close to that kind of money for one more head punch,

85
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: and I would do it.

86
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but he looked he did. He was not

87
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: competitive in any way whatsoever. Yeah. Well, I hesitate to

88
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: give it any more time or attention. But I think

89
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: the reason it was so compelling is you got the

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: question of Ken a incredibly tough, strong, capable boxer, still

91
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: show some of that as he ages, because we all

92
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: want to not age, and so you've got that, like

93
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: very basic human instinct. Then you got a guy and

94
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: Jake Paul really needs to get punched in the face.

95
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, love to see him get punched in the

96
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: face more. Unfortunately, Tyson landed seventeen total punches.

97
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: By whomever in whatever setting just so he gets punched.

98
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, interesting.

99
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: Oh when Jake Paul came riding out in that car

100
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: with his brother whatever where his brother's name is, who

101
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: made the prime energy drink, the crack dealer that got

102
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: every kid hooked on that horrible drink?

103
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: Just he couldn't hate those two more.

104
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: Oh, anyway, speaking to people to hate, some of you

105
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: hate Matt Gates, some of you love Matt Gates as

106
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: the new Attorney General. As from what I can tell

107
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: from social media, speaker Johnson, who does not want the

108
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: Ethics Committee report to be released, was supposed to come

109
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: out last Friday. Matt Gates resigned on Wednesday just a

110
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: coincidence and doesn't want some import release because he thinks

111
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: it would be a bad President had this to say

112
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: about Matt Gates yesterday.

113
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 6: Matt Gates is a colleague of mine. We've been serving

114
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 6: together for more than eight years. He's one of the

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 6: brightest minds in Washington or anywhere for that matter, and

116
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 6: he knows everything about how the Department of Justice has

117
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 6: been weaponized and misused, and he will be a reformer.

118
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 6: And I think that's why the establishment in Washington is

119
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 6: so shaken up about this pick.

120
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: Maybe at least three Republican senators that I've seen, I

121
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: don't know how many on the record, but at least

122
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: three Republican senators I've seen said they want that House

123
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: Ethics Committee report to be part of the hearing. They

124
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: want to see it, even if it is not made

125
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: public reporting over the weekend. So the whole thing is

126
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: not leaked out yet. I thought it would leak out Friday,

127
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: but it has not yet. But little nuggets have leaked out,

128
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: like they did talk to a girl who testified to

129
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: the House Committee that she saw Matt Gates have sex

130
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: with an underage girl and then some other girl who

131
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: may have been of age, but he had sex with

132
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: two different women at that party who were like seventeen

133
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: and nineteen. So I mean that's a certain lifestyle right there.

134
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: Sex with two different girls in one night at a party,

135
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: both of them barely teenagers.

136
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're still teenagers. But yeah, to the

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: House Ethics Committee question, Johnson went on to say, look,

138
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: we don't put out reports on private citizens who are

139
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: not members of Congress. So no, we're not going to

140
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: put that out. It's justifiable. Right. On the other hand,

141
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: it's been pointed out that if you're going for ag

142
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: the investigation into you, the what's the background term background check? Right, Yeah,

143
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: of course is incredibly rigorous. It should be. Yeah, absolutely,

144
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: as it should be. But Johnson's strategy there in which

145
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: he recognizes, all right, this is an incredibly bright guy

146
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: who the quote was he knows how the Justice Department

147
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: has been weaponized that may or may not be true.

148
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: That was respectful to Donald Jay's selection of the guy,

149
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: and then let's let the process continue, he says, knowing

150
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: that the senators, who jealously guard the powers of the

151
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: Senate as Congress ought to start going, is going to

152
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: vet the guy good and thoroughly. So there's no reason

153
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: for Johnson to say, I don't know, it seems like

154
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: kind of a perv to me. I want him to

155
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: stay away from my wife. There's no need for that.

156
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: The Senate will do the tough work, but be respectful

157
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: to Trump.

158
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: Well after bouncing around a fair amount of magas social

159
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: media over the weekend. I see that many of you

160
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: believe all this stuff about I him and sex with

161
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: a teenage girl is just the deep State doing what

162
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: they do with fake news and bringing people down.

163
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: So that's not going to have any effect on you.

164
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: This report and the deep State forced him to go

165
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: on the House of Floor and show videos of girls

166
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: he'd coupled with to colleagues who didn't want to see them.

167
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: Well, I guess you'd believe Mullen is part of the

168
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: deep State, I guess.

169
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: Said Mullen. Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, ran into some

170
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 2: folks who were of that mind over the weekend, super

171
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: supportive of all the picks. All the tick. Was very

172
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: little gentle bit of pushback in some cases because you

173
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: get bubbled. I mean, for instance, the whole Rick Scott

174
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: should be the leader of the Senate, not John Thune.

175
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: John Thune is a Rhino, which I still think is

176
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: a really odd accusation because he's like a complete central

177
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: casting Republican. He's exactly what a Republican has been for

178
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: twenty five years. Trump is not, so to call Thune

179
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: a Republican in name only, is that. I get what

180
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 2: you're trying to say, but it's an odd epithet to

181
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: hit him with. But it was pointed out that Thune

182
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: voted in a favor or with Trump a significantly higher

183
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: percentage of the time than Rick Scott did both was

184
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: an overwhelming majority of the time. But and you know,

185
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: the people I talked to had no idea of that,

186
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 2: So I don't know. We are interesting times.

187
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: We have a result in the Pennsylvania Senate race. It

188
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: took till now for them to finally count all the

189
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: voids votes. Man, this is a close race. Thank god

190
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: the presidential election didn't go down the way a lot

191
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: of people were predicting it would, where it would come

192
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: down to Pennsylvania or we would be finding out today. Well, no,

193
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: we wouldn't because it would be way more lawsuits. We

194
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: would still be in the midst of lawsuits and all

195
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: kinds of claims of vote voter fraud and everything else.

196
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: Because it was so close.

197
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: But they've called it for the Republican McCormick over the

198
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: Democrat Casey who ran ads about how friendly he was

199
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: with Trump to try to win. But forty eight point

200
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: eight percent to forty eight point six percent.

201
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a close race. Doesn't that trigger an automatical

202
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: recall or not recount? I don't know.

203
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: The automatic rec is a very tiny amount of percentage

204
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: in money, So I don't know.

205
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll see. I'm glad.

206
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: I'm glad the presidential race didn't go down like that.

207
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: We would be living in a different world right now.

208
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: So oh yeah, oh oh, it'd be horrible, absolutely horrible.

209
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: We really dodged yet another bullet. So speaking of the election,

210
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: putting the results aside, one of the things that made

211
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: me really really happy is the trend is absolutely clear.

212
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: It's much less and less about race because racial politics balkanization.

213
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: You want to end up like Lebanon for instance. Oh,

214
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: it's the worst thing. Uh, It's it's about class now

215
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: in a way that's really interesting. Some of the statistics

216
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: about the why the working class is saying the Democrats, Yeah,

217
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: we tried you, we want something different. We'll have for

218
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 2: you in a moment. Yeah, that's interesting.

219
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: Realignment, something to watch, stay with us.

220
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: Machel has apologized after mistakingly printing the web address of

221
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: a porn site on the packaging of its new Wicked Dolls.

222
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 3: It was actually a simple mistake. You see, the box

223
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: was supposed to read wickedmovie dot com, but instead they

224
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: printed choke me, Jeff Goldlin.

225
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: It's a mistake. That's a nod.

226
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: So ODSSA Friday night, Are we gonna get our Elon

227
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: Musk Zuckerberg fight? Seems like that'd be the next good Netflix.

228
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Everybody gather around as kind of a national Friday night thing,

229
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: watch a couple of billionaires beat each other up.

230
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Elon's a little busy reigning in the

231
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: federal government at this point, no kidding, two point three

232
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 2: million employees. I would love to follow him around.

233
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: So he seems to be constantly working on his rocket company.

234
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: He's got twelve kids. I don't know if that plays

235
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 2: a role in his life at all. I give the

236
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: idea not a huge one.

237
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter constantly also, and then he's at the

238
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: fight with Trump and then mar A Lago for days

239
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: and I just can't even imagine.

240
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, well, he famously his mind never slows down.

241
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: He's made it clear this would make most people crazy,

242
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: and I think it has made him a little crazy.

243
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: But anyway, so the big change in the election that

244
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: we'll be talked about for years and years is not

245
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: just the winners and losers, but the fact that Black

246
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 2: American Hispanic America moved significantly rightward. I mean, the Democrats

247
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: still get the majority of the black vote, for instance,

248
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: but it's changing, and it's changing pretty quickly. And you know,

249
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: it's easy for us and people like us to forget that.

250
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: Most people don't think about politics that much. I've been

251
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: yelling for Black America to reconsider this unholy alliance with

252
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party, which is just exploited the black vote,

253
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: assumed the black vote, and giving you nothing but empty

254
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: promises and government dependents for decades and decades. Now it

255
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: appears that, I don't know, perhaps people are starting to

256
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 2: connect elections with policy with outcomes in a way that

257
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: you know is too slow for me, but I get it.

258
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: And the journal with the Wall Street Journal was some

259
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: pretty interesting analysis of the fact that it's now about

260
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: class and not race. If you're working class, you are

261
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 2: swinging way towards the Republicans and it doesn't matter what,

262
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: Hugh your skin is. Thank god, I'm so happy about that.

263
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: And not just because it's Republican. I mean it could

264
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: be Democrat too. Let's just not have like hugely important

265
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: racial politics in this country.

266
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: Please, for a number of reasons, including I think you're

267
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: much more likely to get policy discussions if you're talking

268
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: about people of different income situations than their skin color. Well,

269
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: you make the claim of racism is so easily right.

270
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: And they quote Aaron Waters, who's the first gent they

271
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: quote in this article, who's a black construction worker union

272
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: member in Chicago who voted for Trump after voting for

273
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: Biden and Obama in past elections, and he says, race

274
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: is not an issue for me. It's about what you

275
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: can do for each and every one of us as

276
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: a whole, as a US citizen. Now, the reason that's important,

277
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: getting back to my berating you know, quote unquote black America,

278
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: is that guys like Aaron are saying, no, you can't

279
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: say I'm down with the black folks, so vote for me.

280
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? What are your policies? That's phony.

281
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: He's realized it's well, it's phony. It's it's putting you

282
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: in a pen. And I've always hated that. But came

283
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: across a couple of interesting statistics about this this question.

284
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: And here's an associate professor of political science at the

285
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: University of South Carolina. He says, quote, this is the

286
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: shock of the early twenty first century. This this big move.

287
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: Thirty years ago, Americans with a college degree was twenty

288
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: percent of the population twenty percent thirty years ago now

289
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: and held the same percentage of house hold wealth as

290
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: those without a degree, so outsized. But it was like

291
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty the wealth. So twenty percent had college

292
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: degrees and they had half the wealth. Now it's thirty

293
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: eight percent of the population has college degrees. It's almost

294
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: doubled in thirty years. Many of them useless, but anyway,

295
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: and seventy three percent of the household wealth. So the

296
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: you know other sixty two percent of the population that

297
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: has twenty seven percent of the household wealth is starting

298
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: to think, Hey, this system isn't really set up for me,

299
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: regardless of color.

300
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little more about that. I

301
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: have several things to say on that topic and a

302
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: couple other examples of the changing world for the way

303
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: we look at you know, what we were not of government,

304
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: and whether it's serving me or you or a one

305
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: percent or whoever.

306
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 2: I that we will get to So hope you can stick.

307
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: Around if you can't stick around, you can always grab

308
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: the podcasts Armstrong and Getty on demand.

309
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: You should subscribe as the word Armstrong and Getty. Come on,

310
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: let's be real, man, this place is great. I have

311
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: so many wonderful memories here.

00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 4: Doctor Gil Houston, foreign leaders, my dog attacking every single one.

313
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: I brought my party.

314
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 4: Together so much they teamed up and kicked me out.

315
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, maybe I hate it here too.

316
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 5: No, Joe, I know it's awful, but I can't go

317
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 5: back tomorrow, Lago Joe, because Elon is there and he

318
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 5: will not leave.

319
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 2: It's like, what about Bob.

320
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 5: He's walking around in his bathing suit showing me videos

321
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 5: or rockets and monkeys with computers in their heads.

322
00:17:51,960 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 7: This guy's crangef That guy's trump is so good. I

323
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 7: thought I really liked the Sarah Alive. I thought it

324
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 7: was pretty good.

325
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: It was just an equal opportunity making fun of the

326
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: whole thing. And I also liked During the News because

327
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: I like stupid sketch comedy and having Peanut the Squirrel's

328
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: widow on.

329
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: I thought I didn't see that yet, Oh man, Sarah.

330
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: Sherman is peen at the Squirrel's widow so you were

331
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: what were you.

332
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: Just talking about? You were talking about what how race

333
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: has been deemphasized in a big hurry in American politics.

334
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it'd still be an emphasis because it's useful,

335
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: but it's all about class and all about economic aspiration. Really. Yeah,

336
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 2: So a couple of things on that.

337
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: Peter Thield, the billionaire interesting dude, you know who he is,

338
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: tweeted out over the weekend that Trump's win exploded the

339
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: lie of identity politics. If you believe that people cannot

340
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: listen to reason and it's all subject to these sub

341
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: rational factors like your race, or your gender, or you're

342
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: sexting or your sexual orientation or something like this, nobody

343
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: would ever be able to change their mind. You exploded

344
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: the lie of identity politics with this election, I hope.

345
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 5: So.

346
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, they're almost well, not almost.

347
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: Almost always always it's always overstated after every election of

348
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: my life, every presidential election, of how things have changed

349
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: permanently in some way. But this has got to be

350
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: a nod toward the right direction. I thought it was interesting.

351
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: Ian Bremmer tweeted this out, and I think it factors in. Also,

352
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: globalism has been an abject failure, benefiting a small group

353
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: of elites to the expense of broader populations across the West. Yeah,

354
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: it varies from country to country, but that's certainly the

355
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: way it feels to the average person. So you're being

356
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, taught this whole Tom Friedman, the world is flat.

357
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: N't this great for everybody?

358
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: Thing? But that's certainly not what it feels and looks like. Well, right, yeah,

359
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: and it's it's a complicated set of interactions. But yeah,

360
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: if the manufacturing jobs can be done more cheaply over there,

361
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: and you become the paper shuffling people because you're really

362
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: good at shuffling paper, dealing with data whatever, well those

363
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: jobs don't be nearly as much. And as the well

364
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: arising tide lifts all ships, well it runs the guys

365
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 2: running the ships. Mostly it rises their you know, financial

366
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: well being.

367
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: And Ian Bremer said, and it's true. Citizens and democracies

368
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: all around the world are punishing the proponents of globalism.

369
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: The United States is not unique, explaining you know why

370
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: people abandon some of their race politics for just uh,

371
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, my own pocketbook.

372
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a delicate balance. If you go very

373
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: far and all down the road of uh, industrial planning

374
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 2: and government control and that sort of thing. It's it's

375
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: a miserable failure. But to completely ignore the question of

376
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: a your people's standard living and be your national security.

377
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: But here's an honest here's an honest quest. Mean, because

378
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: we're relying on China for our pharmaceuticals and computer chips

379
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: or or whatever, is an idiotic thing to do.

380
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: Here's a question about you're talking about college graduates having

381
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: so much bigger chunk of the national wealth. And it's

382
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: always been true, but that you made way more money

383
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: with the college education than without. But they have a

384
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: bigger chunk now than they ever had before. So I

385
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: don't quite understand this because so much real life evidence

386
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: around is that a college degree is worth less than

387
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: it's ever been before. They're learning less than they've ever

388
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: been before. Are these stats just lagging indicators? They're paying

389
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: more anyway, go ahead, but are they Yeah, but they're

390
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: paying way more but getting less. So are these all

391
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: these status of the Wall Street Journal article over the weekend,

392
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: how an Ivy League degree helps you hurts you more

393
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: than helps you now? But so are all these stats

394
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: about income and wealth lagging indicators? It's just it's gonna

395
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: all this is going to catch up to those numbers

396
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: at some point because like I'm yes, I'm not super

397
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: big on pushing my kids to go to college in

398
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: the way that I I got started the whole college fund,

399
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: like a lot of parents as soon as they were born,

400
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: with just the assumption of course they're going to go

401
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: to college.

402
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: Over my dead body, would they not.

403
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: But now I'm like, why would you go to college

404
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: unless you have these specific things you want need to

405
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: learn to do whatever it is you want to do

406
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: in the world. But again, all the stats out there

407
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: showed on average person with a college education makes a

408
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: lot more money than person doesn't have it.

409
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think part of that is that the when

410
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: was it that the boom in number of people getting

411
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 2: college educations really took off? I don't know, But the

412
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: people who were at the earlier edge of that are

413
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: now in their fifties and sixties and in many cases

414
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: in their peak earning years, oh, peek wealth accumulation years.

415
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: Let's take another snapshot in thirty years, when you know

416
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 2: a large number of college graduates will be in a

417
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: world where a lot of people are college graduates, and

418
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: they'll have taken useless degrees where they didn't learn anything.

419
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's definitely example how it could be way

420
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: a lagging an indicator, because if you're gonna go with

421
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: lifetime earnings, well obviously people have to be, you know,

422
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: sixty to come up with in their sixties to come

423
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: up with lifetime earnings that late. So yeah, yeah, way

424
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: lagging into great because there's just no way that's still

425
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: gonna be true. I don't think I make significantly more

426
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: money with a college education than without.

427
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: It just can't be, particularly given how rapidly everything changes

428
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 2: now economical, they technically, technologically, I mean, so a quick

429
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: thought for you, and then getting back to the peace

430
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: in the Wall Street Journal about how it's less and

431
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 2: less about race, thank god, and more and more about

432
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 2: policy and opportunity. I was a kid in the nineteen seventies,

433
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: mostly you know, late teens in the eighties, but the

434
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 2: three and I was a weird little kid. Not a surprise.

435
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: We got Time magazine. We're not like any of you

436
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: Newsweek perverts. We were at magazine. Fo good lord.

437
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: I walk into somebody's else they got Newsweek. What else

438
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: goes on here that I find devil.

439
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 2: Worship animal sacrifice. God knows anyway. But we would get

440
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: Time magazine every week, and I would read it cover

441
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: to cover every week unless there was some particularly dry

442
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 2: thing that I just couldn't get through. But I remember

443
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: three news stories from the seventies distinctly now. One Vietnam unavoidable,

444
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: two Watergate, watching that unfold, and three Inflation. I remember

445
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: the whip inflation now, buttons I remember it being the

446
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: major story in Time magazine, the Chicago Tribune, which we

447
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: got at least on Sundays. As I recall all about inflation,

448
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: asking my parents what is inflation? They would try to

449
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: explain it to me. And we've talked since about what

450
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: the mortgage rates were when they were trying to crush

451
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 2: inflation by raising interest rates so high that mortgagers were

452
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 2: sixteen seventeen eighteen percent a year eighteen percent mortgage? Can

453
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: you believe that? Like putting your house on your credit card?

454
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: But getting back to the piece in the journal, then

455
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: I'll bring it all together, as is my style. They

456
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 2: quote Chicago and Alfredo Ramirez, who voted for Brock twice

457
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 2: Hillary in twenty sixteen. Last two elections. He's back Trump,

458
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: he said, economic concerns, not race, largely drove his vote

459
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: this time. He and his wife are raising three kids

460
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: on his twenty five thousand dollars a year job at

461
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 2: Target Whoa. He remembers the economy being better before the pandemic,

462
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: when eggs and everything else cost less. Trump has done

463
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: more for the American people, he says, as post of

464
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: the Democrats, they are only caring about themselves. He also

465
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 2: said being Latino didn't affect his vote. Quote, it really

466
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: doesn't matter as long as we are out here fighting

467
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: for our freedom. And the reason I brought up the

468
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: stories I remembered as a kid, in particular in inflation,

469
00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: particularly inflation, is if inflation is high, as I've said times,

470
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: nothing else matters. And they mentioned where is that? I

471
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: thought I was pretty well written. They mentioned that all

472
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: sorts of alleged experts were in all sorts of media.

473
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: There is Democrats at times tried to use statistics. He said,

474
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: this is a college guy, explained down to the decimal

475
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: point to argue that inflation wasn't really hurting people and

476
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: that voters' concerns about immigration were unfounded. Explain that to

477
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 2: mister Ramirez. Explain that to the black construction worker Aaron Waters,

478
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: who we talked about before. What a load of crap.

479
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: You're not scared at the grocery store when you see

480
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: the bill and think, how the hell am I going

481
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: to pay my rent? You think you are? And I

482
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 2: keep reading that wages have actually caught up to an inflation?

483
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: Do you know anybody about her house saying there, I've

484
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 2: got such a giant race since a pre pandemic. I'm

485
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: making twenty percent more.

486
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: There's no way you're gotta be making almost thirty percent more.

487
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: There's just now like.

488
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: Average out including a hedge fund guys.

489
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I don't know how

490
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: you twist the statistics to get that. But I don't

491
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: think I know a single person who would say that

492
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: that was true for them.

493
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, and I've seen it in

494
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 2: a couple of publications, so including the Wall Street Journal,

495
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: which surprised me. But everybody they talked to in this story,

496
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 2: every single damn one of them, talks about the economy

497
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: and their job and inflation. If that's what it takes

498
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 2: to take the gasoline out of the engine of it's

499
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: all about race. Halle freaking Loujah.

500
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: One more kind of economics thing I came across that

501
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: I thought was interesting from the Wall Street Journal. What

502
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: does HUDD have to show for trillions of dollars a

503
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: tax payer money, housing and urban development.

504
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: With this quote in there?

505
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: Add it all up, and since nineteen sixty five, the

506
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: US has spent four trillion dollars, but it has not

507
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: increased home ownership as a percentage, making homes more affordable,

508
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: or reducing rents adjusted for inflation. Nothing at a strange

509
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: four trillion dollars.

510
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 2: Tomorrow during the show, I want to go down a

511
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: checklist of this learned person knows all about the federal

512
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: deocracy and how it works and how to reform it

513
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 2: and all going through a checklist of the various departments

514
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 2: and how expendable they are. You know, I don't know

515
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: if Elon and VvE can pull off what they're promising. Boy,

516
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: they could do a lot of it.

517
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: I just I just saw this headline. I might have

518
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: to find the audio. CNN Morning Crew cracks up at

519
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: RFK on Trump plane being forced to eat poison in

520
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: hostage video. That's the picture if you haven't seen it

521
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: of them all eating McDonald's. You got on Trump's you

522
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: got Trump, and Elon Trump Junior, Mike Johnson's there and

523
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: RFK Junior with a big mac in his hand kind

524
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: of looking like I guess I gotta do this.

525
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: He absolutely looks like a guy who's nodding on the joke.

526
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: It must have happened so fast, like he didn't have

527
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: time to think through do I want to be a

528
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: part of this or not? Which I've had happened to

529
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: me before.

530
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: So we played the audio of Trump entering the UFC

531
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: Arena Madison Square Garden and the place going just absolutely wild.

532
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: My second favorite pro wrestling clip of the weekend, well

533
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: worth staying tuned. Okay, cool, believe it or not.

534
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: That's on the way a Spirit Airlines flight was forced

535
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 3: to divert after it was struck by gunfire from gangs

536
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 3: while trying to land in Haiti, a rare setback for

537
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 3: people who fly Spirit to Haiti.

538
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: That's a dang good joke right there. That is a

539
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: funny joke. Indeed, came across this over the weekend. The

00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 4: But how many's wrong now that he's the president?

Speaker 2: Yes, oh my god, as kid Rock inevitably jams in

551
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,080

552
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: Tulsey yeah, and RFK Junior Yeah, but no Matt Gates interesting.

553
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: Uh So, after he won one of the big matches,

554
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: UFC fighter Jim Miller said the following eighteen, Michael, it feels.

555
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 9: Amazing New York. I got one thing to say. First,

556
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 9: we need justice for Peanut, right right, you know.

557
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: And it's not USA.

558
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 9: It's all the kids that went hungry that night and

559
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 9: all the other things that the money and resources could

560
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 9: have been put through. Holby, that's jog Clans things up

561
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 9: out to state Leveon. I like, how to use the

562
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 9: fuse fitting speech for a political rally.

563
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: Justice for Peanut? Yeah, I'm not sure. How many kids

564
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 2: quote unquote went hungry that night because the state of

565
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 2: New York didn't have resources because they were hunting down

566
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 2: Peanut was assassinating a famous scrorel. Yeah, yeah, I do

567
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: appreciate him bringing it up. And just the whole cultural thing.

568
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, thing is never the best word, but the

569
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: whole cultural milieu, which is French for thing. But you

570
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: got the sense of humor, the unapologetic masculinity, the loud

571
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: rock and music, and Trump not embracing it because he

572
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: thinks he's he should, but that's kind of his thing.

573
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: What an interesting character. Rich since birth, billionaire developer absolutely

574
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: gets normal people for whatever reason.

575
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: And there are lots of people that come from normal

576
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: beginnings who end up successful and rich who just can't

577
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: don't have the common touch like that at all. They

578
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: just can't make it happen, even though that's their background.

579
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: Like Mitt Romney became very, very wealthy, but he was

580
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,479
Speaker 2: very not wealthy as a young man, a young husband.

581
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: He could not pull off working people thing.

582
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: No, no, And I still think it's because Trump, especially

583
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: early in his career. And I don't know the chapter

584
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: and verse of this, but he spent a tremendous amount

585
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: of time at the work sites for the buildings he

586
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: was developing, working with the foreman and talking to the

587
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: workers and that sort of thing.

588
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: Tesla's stock up seven percent because of the belief that

589
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: Trump's going to deregulate the electric car industry to a

590
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: certain extent.

591
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: Well, there's Jack again, there's Joe Man.

592
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 6: It's time of just the show with the help of

593
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 6: Kadie Green and Michael Langel.

594

Speaker 2: So creepy for friends, they're like fans again, They're not

00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 2: how about you get back in the store and quit

598
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,719
Speaker 2: menacing me? Right? Was that supposed to be disturbing when

599
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 2: he made It's Dabby the Clown? I don't know.

600
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

601
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew

602
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: to wrap things up for the day. There he is

603
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 2: pressing the buttons are technical director Mike l Aanglow. Michael,

604
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm just picturing the White House and Trump ordering cheeseburgers

605
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: just to irritate RFK, like they're having a meeting and

606
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 2: just a whole bunch of cheeseburgers come into the room

607
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 2: from McDonald's. You know, uh, Katie Green. A final thought for.

608
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: Us, I would take a lot of joy and some

609
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: professional boxers around the age of Jake Paul challenging him

610
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: to a fight.

611
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 2: Yes, knocking him out? I agree, I agree. Oh he

612
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 2: still needs to be punched, but that's part of his thing,

613
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: isn't it. Yeah, being you love to hate him? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 2: yeah yeah Jack.

615
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: Final thought for us, Yeah, I really enjoyed the communal

616
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: thing that was the Friday night fight. During the day,
